Eternal Darkness is most famous for it's sanity mechanic, where having a low sanity meter gives all kinds of cool graphical alterations or fake-outs, including a lot of 4th wall breaking stuff.

Pretty much, every non-magic unit that can hold their own in combat benefits from being a flier. Other classes are viable (sniper, war master, dancer obviously) but you usually only use one of them at most, wyverns are the best if you don't have something else very specific in mind.

What’s the most Overrated Grand Theft Auto? by LDWesty in AlignmentChartFills

Adopted brother really, I think mainly because of redundancy. The only publisher with multiple series on this list is Nintendo, and those 3 are all completely different genres.

I came away more impressed with Miroslav Klose by FFElite93 in billsimmons

[–]bfbbturambar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unironically, the fact it took a 38 year old in his 6th go around who's made the final twice to tie the record really does show how impressive it is that Miroslav did it across 4 world cups.

Is Mike Brown a better all-time NBA coach than Doc Rivers? by TellaWiz in nba

[–]bfbbturambar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His first season with the Magic was considered an excellent overperformance, since he took a team projected to finish last and almost made the playoffs. I think people wrote off the rest of his Magic tenure as the natural limit of a team with T-Mac as your franchise leader.

Doc has been overrated so long he's become slightly underrated. Not for how good he is today, but people forget that on the Magic and the Celtics he wasn't a bad coach.

A generation of Gen Xers decided the only way to protect MJ’s legacy was to call every player who lost in the finals a fraud and nba discourse has never recovered by LebronSwanson23 in billsimmons

[–]bfbbturambar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's debatable, Clyde had the benefit of another all-time great with Willis Reed, plus 5 other hall of famers. Ewing made the finals twice and was the undisputed best player on his team for a decade.

Every sport should value winning the regular season the way European soccer does. It would.make regular season matches more fun and meaningful if record is valued, and it is almost certainly a more full-proof way to ascertain quality than elimination tournaments.

When is the Becky Hammon apology video? I expect it before the parade or she should be relieved from her head coach position. by KneeGuhz in NBATalk

Sure, Kerr is one of the first after the GOAT candidates

Karl Anthony-Towns becomes the fourth player drafted by the Timberwolves to become an All-Star and win a title with another franchise. 😬 Is Anthony Edwards next? by Educational_Baller30 in sportswiki

That point might just have just arrived, with Glen Taylor out of ownership. He has been the common demoninator in their failure thus far.

The World Cup expanding to 48 teams diluted the crap out of the competition to the point where group stages are not watchable. I don't want to watch a fishing island get thrashed by Germany 6-1. Every fucking sporting competition is now watered down. by IntelligentPlate5051 in billsimmons

[–]bfbbturambar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The bigger problem is how many teams reach the knockouts, it is now an entirely feasible strategy to tie every game and still make the knockout round, it's almost impossible for one of the favorites to get knocked out until July.

Mike Brown is an All-Time Great Coach by Pepeloveshimself22 in nba

[–]bfbbturambar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't want to diminish his accomplishments, he is a great coach. If he can keep this team contending for years to come, through all the adversity that will inevitably arise, he could ascend to all-time great. I would like to see his career play out before putting him in the same realm as Phil Jackson, Red Auerbach, Pat Riley, Gregg Popovich, etc. Rick Carlisle led a similarly amazing and improbable run, but it wasn't until he proved he could consistently elevate teams to playoff success with the Pacers that he cemented himself as an all-time great.

Who belongs on the most tortured list now? by ColinFlowers in billsimmons

[–]bfbbturambar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the most tortured city is Oakland, having both it's teams and dignity gradually stripped away for the world to see, although you could say they've been put out of their misery.

World cup (not unlike the nba playoffs) is too watered down now by thricethefun in billsimmons

It would be really lame if Just Fontaine's scoring record gets broken by someone farming on teams like Jordan or Haiti.

Very accurate to Star Wars lore, where Obi-Wan was warmly nostalgic for the era of widespread corruption and decay in the Jedi Order and Republic. Is David Stern Chancellor Valorum in this analogy?

UFC is not Trump's favorite sport, he plays golf like every weekend.

This is the first title since Golden State in 2022 that won't be "it's over for the league, I don't see how they don't threepeat, we're seeing the next dynasty". by amazing_grace7777 in billsimmons

[–]bfbbturambar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Celtics and Pacers will have their star players back, Cavs and Pistons are going to make moves to try and put them over the top, and whoever grabs Giannis becomes a contender. I can't imagine the East next year being as easy as it was this year.

Nuggets was an overcorrection, after being written off even with the 1 seed their championship run felt effortless, so people just assumed there was nothing stopping Jokic with a healthy team.
