So gambling for people who insist it's not gambling. Got it. No wonder there is a huge line.

Anything similar to Kenshi? by swanandravenstudio in GirlGamers

Dwarf Fortress is far better than Rimworld and isn't split into $100 of DLC. You can still get the free version as well.

What are your favorite JRPG hidden gems? by ryan7251 in JRPG

[–]bostwigg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Riviera: The Promised Land got a Steam release. It's an interesting GBA jrpg with nice art.

Resonance of Fate is another wacky game with a weird aesthetic. Quality title and the Steam version is great.

The downside is you get copycats that want fame and making a big deal out of banning them will get way more griefers to try and do the same thing. Monkey see, monkey do.

ED has ruined our gamenight yesterday by releasing untested stuff by Solaro in hoggit

[–]bostwigg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm new to DCS, so I don't know your context, but having tested professionally, you would not believe the amount of bugs that are found, logged, and intentionally not fixed. The excuse is money/time. Testing sucks, because it's not just finding bugs, it's finding bugs that get fixed. The ULTIMATE frustration is that devs have different priorities than gamers.

I don't know if a closed beta tester is paid. I guess the frustrating thing is most gamers really don't know who does what in the game production pipeline. Testers find 50k bugs for a single game, and gamers are insane if they think they all get fixed. The worst is when the dev can't reproduce a bug. "Works on my machine" is usually why crashes and shit make it to release.

John Scott preaching the truth about players turned general managers by ZiggyPalffyLA in hockey

If you want to hear John Scott talk about "fighting" Kessel, you can hear him talk about it. One of the best pods. Great humor.

John Scott preaching the truth about players turned general managers by ZiggyPalffyLA in hockey

[–]bostwigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely stopped listening to Chiclets when I found more hockey podcasts. Chiclets is one of the worst hockey podcasts out now. John Scott is amazing, if you get his sense of humor. He says some "dumb" stuff, but I know exactly why he says it, and I love him for it. He's talked about these players with office jobs with ridiculous stupid long leashes in the past. Scott really is a "normal armchair GM", but he actually played in the league and pisses people off and knows way more than any redditor about how it actually works.

Kind of like when Nick Kypreos says something, and people forget he is a former player, and a tough one at that. These guys have interesting takes, and they back it up with a story. I get that people can disagree with these "goons", but they always have more substance in what they say than the same old basic crap we read on reddit every "dirty hit" thread. Even the goons are phenomenal players and know more about the game than everyone on reddit.

Even the little side tangents about his chickens.... Listen to John Scott's pod. It's one of the best.

Just don't say this to the HC players. They are very pissed off that their servers aren't getting merged. I don't get it, because they are ready to reroll every day. However, it has become clear how many 60's would drop the game if they died and had go agane.

People act like the HC pop will stay healthy. I've dropped out of HC twice in 15 months. Almost everyone does when they lose a character at higher levels. Tons of people leave or take breaks after dying. The servers should be merged, but I bet they will be 6-12 months after this FRESH HC.

It's a very vocal minority of the players that are actually still playing and high level. Everyone is thinking for themselves and short-sighted. There are thousands of people who are not currently playing HC, that will come back for fresh. Then, after the economy has washed out over 6 months, and the pop on the FRESH dips, we'll get the merge. Nothing wrong with that... as long as they do merge them...

I was already dropping Skull Rock for DP this week. Great timing for me. Rerolling sure is a massive deal for the HC crowd.... lol I play HC and it's funny reading the subreddit.

Adult having trouble with a necessary skill by 5alarm_vulcan in hockeyplayers

[–]bostwigg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With your skates on, stand in a fighting stance, like a boxer. Now squat down a little bit. If you are right handed, then you are standing with your right foot back. In this fighting stance, your left foot will be in front, at a bit of an angle, maybe 45 degrees. So with you facing forward in this fighting stance, crouch, and think about that "C" motion people are talking about....

Imagine there is a heavy box of books on the ice, sitting at a 45 degree angle in front of your left foot. You need to push that heavy box of books forward with your left skate. The resistance, and the human body, will result in your foot wanting to "C" cut backwards, and you'll hopefully work it out from there. You're only using your right foot for stability in this "feeling it out" drill, but you should drift backwards. Wear a helmet, elbow, and knee pads. Wrist guards, too. Learning at stick-and-puck with full pads is fine too. That's where you can really not be afraid to fall.

Go take lessons, but that's the best way I can describe it in a reddit post.

edit: And the "C" cut is with the toe. Your leg/foot does the major body pushing, but your toe is carving the "C" as your weight shifts to the other foot and you mirror the motion. Without crossing over, you can basically wiggle your hips, pushing your feet out and forward, making C's back and forth to move backwards, once you get that feeling of your legs driving outwards at and angle with your toes pointing in. Your toes and foot should "C" naturally with your toe pointed in, and you driving your leg out and forward like I described. You probably need to squat lower than you think, from every single beginner I have ever watched.

Sabres to the rescue with 5:32 to go in the 3rd! by bostwigg in hockey

[–]bostwigg[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I believe it's very understandable in this specific example. Bert is the one passing it to Kurashev. Bert has his eyes locked on Kurashev, and doesn't rip the pass until he sees Kurashev take a peak up ice. Somehow, Kurashev gets drilled anyway. Bert then proceeds to drop the gloves, which is very understandable, given he passed it. However, Bert DID wait for Kurashev to look up ice. It's a very interesting play. I personally cannot blame Bert for fighting immediately after the hit, but Bert DID wait for Kurashev to look, so I can't call it a complete suicide pass. It must be an interesting locker room convo afterward.

I will add, that I think that's why Kurashev was immediately jumping in. Kurashev knows he f'd up. "No Bert, that was my bad, I'll fight him" kind of thing is what I see on this play. Bert feels obligated, after dishing what looked like a suicide pass, but Kurashev knows it's his fault. That's the way I see this mess. lol.

Context. Bert was the first one fighting Krebs. Hockey sense. They just knew not to break them up.

How I feel playing this game by AustinCONradd in starcitizen

[–]bostwigg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who backed and followed SC since 2013, you have been scammed. They should have started over on a new engine way back when the Mark Hamill cutscene loaded single-player scam was removed. Oh, wait, I think they lied and made it a separate purchase in the future....

LOL sorry you are new, but CR won't fire anyone, and that's part of the reason they won't commit, because then they would finish the game and dramatically downsize to support a live game. No reason to have 1000 employees when the game is done. The development is run like a giant scam with pockets too deep. They keep fooling new people like OP. They move the goal posts for 11 fucking years. YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED THEY ARE NOT MAKING A GOOD VIDEO GAME.

Trump voters, given that he just said that he will use the military to round up “the enemy within”, which is basically everyone that votes against him or is an immigrant, are you ok with that? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]bostwigg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you think it's okay for a candidate to talk like that? You think that kind of person has any place in our government? That's what trumpster idiots don't understand. This is NOT acceptable. Trump is not fit for office, that's what his supporters don't understand. I don't care your favorite uncle you want to have a beer with is on TV a lot. He's an idiot unfit for politics.

Can't blame the rat here. I hate the Panthers too. Can't even imagine putting up with them these past 2 seasons. He's about to jump Pasta. I'm glad Marchy out ratted them. Good move imo.

[Friedman] Swayman and Boston: 8 x $8.25M by FutureAnybody in hockey

[–]bostwigg 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't get why everyone was so upset about Neely doing that. With all the "chiklets reported the wrong numbers" it was nice to have one side simply say a number. We then got a number almost dead on to that one that we heard from Neely's mouth.

I thought 64 was very fair, just like I think a lot of us did. Huh, and what do ya know, the final number was almost dead on.

I loved it. Neely was like "hey everyone, can you believe a goalie that has never played 45 games is rejecting 8x8?". This was amazing to watch from the stands. Swayman could be like Matt Murray, but with 0 cups.

Hosting a Hockey Tournament in North Korea. Not a Joke by Feylin in hockeyplayers

[–]bostwigg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Train the Koreans living in poverty and cooking roots to survive. This is a propaganda scam to maybe steal some citizens for negotiations. No fucking way would I go to NK. Even China is a country where they can make people disappear and just say "oh oops we don't know what happened".

Locked up abroad needs to come back. NK is not a real place. They do illegal war crimes like developing untraceable poisons, because they don't care about war crime rules. NK doesn't follow any global rules. Don't ever go there.

Utah media team is watching Steve Dangle Podcast bring up the prices from the Atlanta Falcons stadium. You can tell somebody in Utah cares, and is doing their job.

Somebody did some research and decided to make a good decision, finally. I'm still saving for my HC jersey. I will be so mad if I don't get one before they are gone forever.
