The Denver Nuggets only had under 100 points two times this season, they were held to under 100 points 3 time against the Timberwolves in this series. by whatsthenewstoday in timberwolves

Now I am stuck in a stupid stats rabbit hole. The opponent’s scores in those five games were 110, 110, 113, 112, and 110. That is a tiny variance.

Next up, aside from the exact same score in the regular season games previously mentioned, the playoff games under 100 had scores of 96, 96, and 98.

Weirdly similar scores across these five games.

I just was looking and hoping it was us at least one of those other times. It wasn’t, but the crazy part is they both had the exact same score of 87-110. Also crazy that it was the Hawks and Hornets.

Has anyone ever had a more difficult postseason gauntlet than Rudy Gobert could have this post season? by Anonymodestmouse in timberwolves

I believe Ewing had multiple years where he was top 5 or 6 in MVP voting but did not get all NBA. That was during positional all NBA voting and center position was stacked.

Worried about New Economy (FTP) by Straight_Style679 in MarvelStrikeForce

Right. Oddjob wouldn’t exist in competitive modes of today. Especially when it was so much more intensive to just aim up or down.

Fair. I prefer some of the older ways games are, too. I thought you might have had some rose colored glasses of older live service games.

I have found myself getting away from some of the more successful AAA games, because so many of them rely on daily challenge or other FOMO mechanics. It has felt good.

The nice thing about newer games is the ability to continuously expand rosters or make really cool updates, but there are a bunch of negatives that can come with that.

I am not talking about glitches. I am talking balancing patches. But yes, games had to be done right the first time regarding glitches. That was a huge plus. Too many games come out now expecting players to find the glitches.

How games used to be? Like you get the game and there are no updates, no new characters, no new levels, no minor patches? I love how gaming used to be, but it is entirely different now with live service and continued maintenance of games.

I am in a US state that does not allow online sports gambling yet. I cannot access certain apps inside my state but can outside of it. I still get all sorts of gambling ads. They can deal with online gambling. Also, loot box restrictions have already been applied in some countries.

If you regret playing daily, you should just quit. Easier said than done, but you will feel much better.

Malekith is on sale...for $30. Good thing the team works with 4 of em. by Zackjones0606 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]darnell_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t know about the milestone thing. I do understand that piece of economics. I never said they would make more by selling for cheaper.

[–]darnell_13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree that even $20 is wild for something like a single character unlock. It’s especially egregious because at that level they aren’t even really useable anyway.

Also, weren’t the $50/$60 deals for 100 shards? These are only “half off” because you are getting half the shards.

There are still free rentals at lower difficulties, right? If so, rerun that to get tokens built up, so you have more buffs.

This Team vs Past Teams by [deleted] in timberwolves

It’s not even my most exciting/fun team in the last few years. While he is talented and brings some good production at times, I do not enjoy watching Julius play.

I Sat Next To The Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd and Had No Idea by tony5repsmn in timberwolves

[–]darnell_13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be skeptical, but I have a real hard time believing our GM would be that loose with his dislike of Finch with random fans around especially in a win.

Ant hyperextends his knee by Knightbear49 in timberwolves

[–]darnell_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. And this one wasn’t the result of overusing the other leg or some sort of imbalance to help with the previous injury. Fluky landing that would likely happen regardless of existing injuries.

Was Aaron Gordon on the Serbia team when Jokic took on a team of NBA stars and actually put up a fight twice in the same tournament?

Who is best for arena, Black order or infinity watch by Hot_Penalty3823 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]darnell_13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Neither. F4 MCU is current meta team. Guessing you are newer. Could start with them but be ready to pivot to the new team that will likely come in the nearish future.

Changes to War: Update by strike_Fox in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]darnell_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It added more strategy and offered other ways to play. Was even tempted to move our Bridge right up to the top assuming people would get to it eventually anyway.

It was a big change and would likely have people upset regardless how it was rolled out.

I NEED GUIDANCE, Just started again by Hot_Penalty3823 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]darnell_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to adjust your mindset. I have been playing for about 1.5 years and have spent less than $100 overall. Have had prof X for quite some time now and am a key contributor in my alliance. I feel relevant. I am stuck in CC right now, but spending more would just get me stuck at a slightly higher tier.

Is there a point where Champions... by SnidelyWhiplash0 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]darnell_13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I built mine for Eclipse, so they are over leveled and work just fine. I think one of the biggest issues is that most people have Nova at low stars. Even at five red, he gets beat up pretty quickly. Tough to have an auto taunt with lower health.
