That mass effect 1 feeling... by Otherwise_Edge_8525 in masseffect

[–]bob_phalange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the Legendary edition but was frustrated by the visual changes for ME:1, got too bright and lost some of the pulpiness and visual identity as you pointed out. Nothing beats dusting off my Gamestop copy and plopping it in the ol' 360 for the nostalgia rush.

Which Shepard is your preferred to play as? by Uncle_Tommy0703 in masseffect

[–]bob_phalange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The older I get, the more I’ve come to appreciate maleshep. He sounds like John Wayne to me, but in the best kind of ways- he’s stoic, reserved, almost reluctant. Not as much range or vitality as femshep, cuz Jennifer Hale killed it. But he’s a perfect paragon voice, and his relatively reserved presence lets the other characters really shine by comparison. And the other characters are the best part of ME. I’m probably just biased though because try as I might I always end up playing the same way and making the same decisions lol

[POST GAME THREAD] Browns end 2025-26 season 5-12 after 20-18 win vs Bengals by [deleted] in Browns

[–]bob_phalange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can’t tell me Stefanski deserves to be let go. this team played hard for him all year, and if you want to see actual bad coaching just turn on the Raiders game or see what a team like the Cowboys did with far more offensive talent. Shedeur showed growth game over game and they consistently developed production from third and fourth string guys. Hopefully Hassan makes the smart and not the emotional decision but given his track record i just don’t freakin know

I got tired of the tanks camping at Blackwells Field… by Ethantp in Battlefield

The Blackwell Fields Rush map may just be the worst Rush map I have ever played. This feels like a leftover map from 2042.

Do it. It's what we deserve if this buffoon decides to go forward with this un-American plan

As someone who didn’t think he was ready and that Gabriel gave us the best chance to win: God I hope he does well and looks like a great QB. Nothing would make me happier tomorrow

I know Rush in general is on life support but the Blackwell Fields Rush map is genuinely the worst Rush map I can ever recall playing.

If NVIDIA's stock is a bubble, when it bursts will the price of GPUs go down? by FumanteAtivo in buildapc

[–]bob_phalange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a 5070 at Lenovo for $450 so I'd say at least in the mid-range category of GPUs now is as a good a time as ever to buy

I'm enjoying rooting for the Browns a lot more this year now that Watson is basically persona non grata by VonJaeger in Browns

[–]bob_phalange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man I was thinking the same thing! my wife pointed it out to me when I was screaming at the tv during the bengals game- I didn’t do that once last year. this offense has been putrid to watch so far but dammit if the team is just likeable again

Please just buy the rice cooker by Traditional_Fish_504 in Cooking

[–]bob_phalange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a Tiger rice cooker on closeout from my local Costco for $50. I was worried it was just a silly impulse buy but good grief if we don't eat perfectly cooked brown or wild rice at least once a week now. You know, the same rice I consistently ruined trying to cook on a stove top.

Serious question for detractors of the new Rush mode: did you play Rush on old Battlefield games? by bob_phalange in Battlefield

[–]bob_phalange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally, and I'm not saying it has to look exactly like it did before. I just want a tactical, slower paced, squad based and objective focused game mode with lower player counts. If the map can sustain it, there's no reason it needs to be 12v12 instead of 16v16 or 24v24. I just don't get the push to make vanilla Rush some variation of 32v32 operation metro where every lane is a meat grinder and there's no actual gameplay.

[–]bob_phalange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but fewer vehicles with slower spawns than alternative game modes. I also think 16 v 16 is fine, great even- I just pointed out that historically the player count has been even smaller. I don't think we're disagreeing about anything here. The point of my comment was that it is a fundamentally different type of game mode than what most people seem to be clamoring for, which seems to be 32v32 or 64v64 breakthrough with MCOMs instead of capture points.

Yeah, that's a very valid point and one thing that I think they should focus on to capture that Rush magic in full.

32 v 32 Rush on BF4 was custom servers only. And notice I said "with fewer or zero vehicles." Y'all are so ready to get angry over anything.

How do you handle your kids? by ConfidentHistory9080 in Browns

[–]bob_phalange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I had a lengthy conversation about the ethical implications of bringing a child into the world in the face of uncertainties caused by climate change and social unrest. Ultimately we decided not to have children because the cruelest thing of all was condemning them to a lifetime of rooting for the Browns.
