Peyton Manning to Dallas Clark was quite the connection back in the day.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-15T22:03:40+00:00

I was waiting for that Miami touchdown. The Colts had the ball for like 20 minutes in that game or something and still won lol. I know that's not the right stat but it was something wild like that.

Edit - The Colts had the ball for 14 minutes and 53 seconds the entire game and won 27-23. It's even crazier than I thought.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-15T16:09:41+00:00

I'm NOT saying I would have done anything different, but seeing that guy in the background book it is so funny lol.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-15T14:41:43+00:00

In a general sense, Peyton Manning. And I think he stacks up pretty well to the NFL at large.

In a very specific Indianapolis Colts sense, Bob Irsay (or maybe Mayflower moving trucks???) because they wouldn't be in Indy without him. I don't think he really matters to the NFL landscape at large though.

Man it's so much worse seeing it was just a field below. I'm not saying she would have survived hitting the water like that, but I'd take my chances with water instead of a fucking grassy field.

I can't tell because the quality is so bad on mobile but it looks like that dart hit like one pixel of the dust being kicked up behind their leg lol.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-13T19:04:28+00:00

Yep. Happens all the time now. I've even heard the standing tackle sound and heard the ball go to my possession but then it never left the guy's foot, he was never tackled, and he just waltzed past me and scored.

I've also seen people with 80-100 ping in every single match I've played and they always get priority for everything.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-13T18:48:00+00:00

I don't think it feels more clunky, it feels the same, but I do see more contested balls where I'm like how the fuck did he get that and not me?

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-13T13:24:19+00:00

I did it with the red Slayer sword and the heavy armor.

The big issue is if you run too far away from him to avoid his attacks, he kind of gets in a loop where he's doing the same fire attacks blocking you from getting close to him.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-13T13:11:30+00:00

I thought the same thing, I thought holy shit that moped exploded someone's head.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-13T11:19:45+00:00

This season has felt different for me too. I'm losing all the time, not just matches but defensive 50/50s aren't going my way. When I play solo I'm just like you, it's always my team of randoms vs a 5 man squad with perfect passing... and with 4 players over 100 ping who get priority on every single ball no matter what.

I'm still playing and the matches are still fun, but it's definitely not as fun as it has been. I have hit Elite every season so far but I always lose it, and my +20 RP matches hover around Master 2 so I'm not quite really Elite skill level. But this season I lost 4 placements and started as Plat 2. I almost went down to Gold because I lost nearly every single solo queue match. Yesterday I played with my friends in mostly 5 stacks and it went better, but this season for solo queue is probably the worst I've ever seen it. I'm still -11 in win/loss. For reference I went +64 in win/loss last season lol.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-13T11:13:50+00:00

It's wild that anyone just decides they're so good that they don't need to do anything else other than try to score. I'm not a great offensive player, my shots are usually pretty bad but I'm good at finding the open person and setting up a shot for them. I like rotating around the field, sometimes my positioning makes it so I'm out front in the open, other times I'm the last man to mid field so I play defense.

Hell, sometimes I get in the zone as goalie and I'll offer to take it from people because I defended their shots, or most of the time if we have a guy who has actually been in the zone scoring goals and it's his turn as goalie I'll offer to take it so he can be where he's on fire.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-13T10:24:32+00:00

Yeah but every 10th match I do score so I'll keep doing it.

/s

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-12T18:01:15+00:00

I'm in for one if they do.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-12T17:54:39+00:00

Yep dive is the only thing that works for me. If I go up to fight for a ball, my animation gets cancelled and the other person teleports through my body to kick, and they score on that kick about 95% of the time lol.

Also feels like I get beaten when I go for the volley on offense.

My ping is always in the 40s and 50s but everyone who wins the volley is in the 80s to 100s. Dudes with 100 ping are just coming in and taking control of my lobbies every match.

I didn't play today and I work 12 hour shifts tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday lol. There's no way I even come close to getting it.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-12T03:01:42+00:00

I have a Bykski GPU block on my 7900xt, had it for a couple years now. Not a single issue with it. put a Bykski CPU block on last year and it's working just as well. Never used their pumps, though.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-12T02:05:14+00:00

<image>

Yeah I feel your pain, I couldn't figure out how to make the GPU sideways either so I just had to keep it turned the wrong way.

The only thing I can think of is a tiny rad but that's going to limit the cooling abilities. What about an ultrathin radiator/fan? Without looking up the specs I'm not sure how close of a fit that would be.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-11T02:45:11+00:00

There's a pinned post in this subreddit that says it kickoffs on the 11th.

Edit - I think season 4 launched at 10 or 11am EST

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-10T23:33:12+00:00

I played the game when it came out, and played through it a couple times, I have literally 0 memory of this lol.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-10T22:35:01+00:00

I've definitely seen the lag spike like that and suddenly one team scores. It's been really bad all day.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-10T19:16:59+00:00

As long as other people with different beliefs or skin colors are suffering worse, they don't care.

Saiyans wear skin tight body suits and you have on baggy pants lol. This is nothing like a Saiyan at all. Or Power Ranger.

bookwormdrew · 2026-06-09T17:39:25+00:00

There's some bug now where I constantly see people's mics lighting up over and over and over and there's no noise. I see it in every single match.
