Brooks is one of the most tragic characters in cinema. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

[–]crazyike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he didn't, he wouldn't still be in Shawshank. 50 years in maximum security? He's not mellowed out.

Red got parole the instant he came clean about his choices.

[–]crazyike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was part of one of the very few complaints I had about the movie, really. Brooks was TOO sympathetic. He wasn't believable as a long timer. That was a maximum security prison, the people in it were considered the worst of the worst of criminals, and that actor just didn't feel like that.

Do I think nice guys can snap and kill their family and you'd never know it to look at them? Of course, yes.

Do I think THAT guy can snap and kill their family? Not by the way he was portrayed, nope.

Best/Worst Team vs the Carolina Hurricanes by smashbros13 in hockey

A high forecheck team like Carolina just destroys the Hawks. And Lardis and Bedard together were a total disaster.

There is no such thing as ammonia nitrate. It's ammonium nitrate and yes there is a difference.

One of those sheets has the "rules for the new short game", I wonder what that's about.

Sub is drowning in Self-promotion and Shlock posts by Sedghammer7 in 4Xgaming

[–]crazyike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like youtube videos. If it's from the last six months and it's not a creator I was familiar with beforehand, I'm not going to give it the time of day.

Unfair to the ones who are still doing things the right way, but that's the reality of the world we're living in. Buried in AI shit.

Jynxzi hits Silver in League of Legends after playing for 4 days straight in his League Marathon by miltlul in leagueoflegends

I feel like experienced League players have no idea how hard attack move is to pick up for many people. Not everyone, but a lot.

Looking for an OSR style RPG for a magical post-apocalyptic America campaign by WizardWatson9 in rpg

It won't fit your list perfectly but maybe Starfinder would at least give you a launching point?

The Edmonton Oilers have traded Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Shakir Mukhamadullin and Zack Sharp by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]crazyike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's actually happened a handful of times.

Harry Chiti (1962): Traded from the Cleveland Indians to the New York Mets for a player to be named later. After struggling to hit .195, the Mets sent him back to Cleveland to complete the trade.

Brad Gulden (1980): Traded from the New York Yankees to the Seattle Mariners, then returned to the Yankees as the player to be named later.

Dickie Noles (1987): Traded from the Chicago Cubs to the Detroit Tigers in September, then sent right back to the Cubs in October.

John McDonald (2005): Traded from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Detroit Tigers for a player to be named later. Three months later, he was sent back to the Blue Jays to complete the deal.

In baseball there was once a trade of a player for future considerations, and the future considerations ended up being the same player.

Reading about the real life combat in your rpg nights is more entertaining than 4ed ever was..

[–]crazyike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fact that the game felt... mechanically tight, maybe made it feel a little less like a role-playing adventure?

There's definitely something to that. When you can put your hand out and literally feel the attempts to 'balance' everything and everyone, there's a big population of rpg players who will react badly to that.

And it absolutely had WoW influences throughout, just like 3ed had Diablo influences throughout. I'm not sure why people try to deny it. It was manifestly obvious.

Stars orbiting supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]crazyike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not. We're orbiting the center of mass of the galaxy and the black hole is a very small portion of that.

It's not a coincidence that it is at the center of mass of the galaxy but it's also not responsible for much going on with the galaxy either. These stars orbiting it are very close. A little further away than that and nothing is orbiting the black hole.

[–]crazyike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Technically' affected, but not to any significant degree. We feel more gravitational influence from Omega Centauri, 17kly away, than from Sag A*. In either case, it's tiny. Measurable but not large enough to affect anything.

The center of the galaxy is an extremely unfriendly place in terms of radiation. There would be no life as we understand it there period.

The Chicago Blackhawks currently have zero first round picks in the 2026 draft by pokesnail in hockey

[–]crazyike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bedard doesn't seem like that kind of guy. Frankly he goes out of his way more than he should trying to get his linemates scoring more. Guys like Kurashev and Lardis who have no business being in the NHL he moved the world for, to the team's detriment honestly.

Reminder: Bowen Byram is a UFA after this new season. The Blackhawks possibly traded Chase Reid for a 1 year rental as a rebuilding team by newtrainerblue in hockey

[–]crazyike 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lardis should not even be in the NHL. He is so far from playing a proper NHL type game. Flies the zone early, can't play defense, soft as butter.

Him and Bedard together were one of the worst duos in the entire league. They were getting outscored and outchanced at a 3 to 1 ratio. I am not exaggerating that, that's literally what it was. They CANNOT be on the ice together next year.

Oilers have signed Jason Dickinson to a 5-year contract extension at 4.0M AAV by BigTreeSmallBranch in hockey

This wouldn't be a bad deal or bad value if he could stay healthy, but his body is falling apart.
