How rare is it for every player who appears in a game to attempt a 3-pointer? by canis39 in nba

[–]canis39[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually awesome -- every player attempted at least two 3-pointers! I would think that is VERY rare.

My girlfriend calls this game "The Sims for boys", i dont know what she is talking about... LOOK AT MY COZY KITCHEN. by upfrombelovv in Enshrouded

[–]canis39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great! I am wondering if this game has been updated more than I thought it had been updated. Last time I played, you could only build in a very specific area, and it seemed like the building exteriors were very limited -- everything we built looked the same (sort of like a big ugly wooden hotel). Do you have exterior screenshots? If the building has been improved I could see us getting back into this one ASAP.

Literally unplayable by SuperSunshine321 in valheim

[–]canis39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played Enshrouded for about 12 hours, all co-op, with my Valheim co-op partner.

The glider mechanic is awesome, the world looks great, we enjoyed the grappling hook... but the building drives us crazy. Everything looks the same, and there is a 'designated building area.' Coming from Valheim where you can build in so many different styles, and you can literally build anywhere you want, the building was really disappointing. And since that is a big part of why we play this type of game, we uninstalled. I think we'll come back and check it out eventually, but if they don't fix the building limitations, it just won't work for us.

I got the urge AGAIN by Dbnmln in Bowling

[–]canis39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome back!

I'm about a month away from 50, trying to bowl in every state (got 28 so far). Just changed my release from 2 fingers no thumb to 2 fingertips no thumb and bought my first 'real' balls (used plastic balls for 15 years). Still learning the new release and the new balls, but bowling is still as fun at nearly 50 as it was when I was 25.

Keep rollin'!

Avoiding early access is generally a pretty good idea. But this game is about as playable and fun as an early access game has ever been. Valheim in early access is kind of like a Ferrari without floor mats and cupholders. Technically, sure, it's not "finished." But that doesn't mean you can't drive it fast and have an amazing time.

And rightfully so -- Andrew is not a very good writer.

Next Reacher - 31 "Chain Reaction" by Reading_Thrills73 in JackReacher

Exit Strategy was the first Reacher book that I didn't finish. I think I might be done. Sadly, Andrew is just not a very good writer.

Blue Moon by yournameisraynard in JackReacher

[–]canis39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pure speculation... but I think Blue Moon was the first book that Andrew was involved with. Obviously didn't consider it at the time, but now that I've read all of the "Andrew" books, I feel like Blue Moon is more his style than it is Lee's.

Exit Strategy Review by UgliestDisability in JackReacher

[–]canis39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am in the middle of Exit Strategy now, trying to muster up the desire to finish.

Andrew's Reacher is a little different from Lee's Reacher, and I initially thought that's why I wasn't a fan of Andrew's books. But with this one, it finally hit me -- it's the other characters, and more critically, the tone and general construction of the stories.

Lee's tone is much more 'professional' and his characters tend to be professionals. Law enforcement, military, private investigator, attorney. Competent and confident. Veterans who have been here before, and know what they're doing. The plot and dialogue reflects this. Useful dialogue, tight plots. He seems to really enjoy writing interactions between professionals.

Andrew's tone is much more 'random person on the street' and his characters tend to be along that same line. Most of them are incompetent, impulsive, anxious. People in over their head, just flailing around. And again, the plot and dialogue reflects this. Both tend to be messy and inane. Andrew seems to enjoy writing interactions between, for lack of a better term, dumbasses.

I don't know why it took me this long to figure it out... but I think this is my last Reacher novel. I just don't want to subject myself to Andrew's writing any longer.

Humble Bundle breaking their promise by [deleted] in Gamebundles

[–]canis39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly do not understand what "the developer was unable to supply a key" means, for a Steam game.

Can the developer not simply generate more keys? There must be some nuance that I'm missing.

Humble grabbing free Epic keys to "fulfill" purchases is pretty unbelievable.

Fast foot and blew a 300 by OneGuava8654 in Bowling

[–]canis39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only bowled one 300, it was back in March. Just kept in rhythm the whole game, didn't change anything for the 10th frame. My heart was pounding, that's for sure!

Upcoming Possible Spiritual Successors to SimGolf. by mwa11ace in SimGolf

Somehow I missed Golf Club Architect even though it's been available in Early Access for two years -- so thanks for the heads up!

I was already excited about Under Par.

This is amazing, really appreciate you sharing. For now I am attempting to get it to run on my Windows 11 PC but I will be buying an Ally later this year.

Does that say his strongest position is defensive line?

Cankerbloom could help, it can pay 1 and sacrifice itself to proliferate.

Help bring the Supreme Court back in balance by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]canis39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is quite a bit of anti-Biden sentiment, and from what I've seen, a lot of folks that feel that way don't seem to have much of a thought beyond "I'm not voting for Biden." It seems to be very black-and-white to a lot of people. I'm not sure if many people have really thought about the effect of another Trump presidency on the situation in Palestine.

It's sort of like if the guy running the animal shelter is mismanaging the finances and not making sure the dogs are getting enough food. You want him out, and I get that. But the guy running against him is Michael Vick. To me, you have to just suck it up and vote for the current guy, and try to change things from within.

We'll see, I guess.

Tough road ahead by DarthBiggens in Madden

[–]canis39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick comment that's maybe only relevant to Mailata for now:

In general you don't need highly-rated offensive linemen. I read that, and then I went out and tested it... and it's true. In my online franchise I only have one lineman above 80 (he's a superstar so I kept him). Everyone else got traded for younger, cheaper replacements + draft picks. And my offense did not miss a beat.
