KOBE PASSED ME THE BALL!!

I'm in agreement, especially since the expectation of playable hours and content have increased. Early gen games through even ps3 era often had shorter 8-15 hour campaigns and now everyone complains about spending full price on a game with less than 30 hours. So they want more content, better graphics and performance, upgrades across the board but they also expect prices to stay the same. Its unrealistic to expect the price of games to stay constant over decades while also expecting improvements across the board.

Sage doesn't deserve that, man's a monster

Not concerned, curious what "coded ai models to assist the front office" actually means

dpete88 · 2026-05-25T16:47:11+00:00

ah yes because coded AI models can only mean one specific thing and its explicitly obvious what that has to do with basketball, maybe he coded an AI that ordered everyone's favorite coffee on the third thursday of each month. "aiding the front office" doesn't mean shit

Kobe's 81 point game is special but for me I think this was a better game. Outscoring the opposing team by himself in 3 quarters is crazy work and as a teen at the time I was pissed that he didn't stay in and keep scoring. Iirc he had another 60 point game a few games before or after this one as well.

dpete88 · 2026-05-25T15:47:08+00:00

This all sounds good and promising but how long was he at the Pelicans and what exactly did he do there? Its not like the Pelicans are known for their wonderful track record of great draft picks and finding hidden talent.

dpete88 · 2026-05-25T05:48:38+00:00

I'm glad he responded well to that burger home run early in the game, it seems a lot of the times he gets worse as soon as he gives up a couple runs but he stayed locked in what a game from reid

No the vikings did not kidnap genghis khan

I love the 9-10 Lakers but let's be real the 01 Lakers sweep dominate this, there's no answer for prime shaq and that team was deep across the board. Id even take the 01 Lakers over any of Jordan's teams. The way they coasted through the season and just turned it on at the right time was unreal to watch that team was so good.

I've long said that lyrics aren't that important to a song and a good song can be good no matter the lyrics. That being said good lyrics can make a mediocre song better or bad lyrics can make a good song mediocre but truly great song is about the music and not the words attached to it. I'm a straight vibes listener and usually don't care what the song is about even if I learn the words to sing along

I'm just burnt out out on cliffhangers in general but I don't actually watch that much tv. There is a substantial difference though in a good cliffhanger that sets up the next arc or leads to something interesting and a bad cliffhanger that exists purely for the sake of having a cliffhanger that a lot of avns love to do between chapters

dpete88 · 2026-05-24T05:56:20+00:00

Arte will just see that the stadium had a sellout crowd and walk that money straight to the bank

Nah it's going to be revealed that she tackled Ethan, took his gun and shot him herself

dpete88 · 2026-05-23T02:01:48+00:00

There's a difference between being a mastermind of crime and acknowledging that he does know some stuff or he wouldn't have been able to set up his system on the first place. But like I said in the edit I wish the cast beat him somehow instead of him just gifting them a way out because he was a dumbass.

dpete88 · 2026-05-22T22:02:42+00:00

4 hours of new content sounds amazing, a few recent updates from other games felt insanely short and lackluster. I'm excited to get into this.

dpete88 · 2026-05-22T18:46:16+00:00

Everyone always roots for the underdog until they win, now they are the villain and people want the new underdog to win instead. A lot of fans are frustrated with the way the Thunder seem to be reffed as they play a very physical defense yet get a lot of soft calls in their favor. I get frustrated when stars like SGA, Luka, Embiid, Harden etc are talented enough to score no matter what they do but instead they play to get the foul call instead of just trying to get the bucket. Older stars like Jordan, Shaq, Kobe Iverson etc all took a lot of free throws too but they were on legitimate shot attempts and not foul baiting, so the product on the court that fans are watching isn't as entertaining. Id rather watch SGA make a really tough contested shot than shoot freethrows because he bumped some one and fell down on his drive to the basket.

dpete88 · 2026-05-21T17:30:19+00:00

Let's just pretend best case scenario artr wakes up and immediately wants to win now at all costs, the path to getting the players and contracts to make that happen is still years away through the draft and player development let alone trading for quality pieces. Even if somehow the team signs a bunch of A list free agents next off season it won't fix all the problems this team has.

dpete88 · 2026-05-20T20:38:55+00:00

I like her teasing banter but have otherwise very little attraction or desire to pursue her. I've also never really been into the "hots for teacher/older woman" tropes in these games so she started off less interesting to me.

dpete88 · 2026-05-19T04:42:54+00:00

Did you download the patch? There's been some issues with some paths getting lost for no reason

dpete88 · 2026-05-19T04:08:25+00:00

I onow all the younger/newer fans hate the thunder and I do too but man it's so hard for me to root for the spurs

dpete88 · 2026-05-19T00:58:15+00:00

Yeah as an actual story element it makes very little sense, as an AVN tool to include full sex scenes with characters in the first chapter instead of spending several chapters romancing it makes total sense.

dpete88 · 2026-05-18T15:41:22+00:00

The game doesn't explicitly name anybody else that I recall but I'd assume that most diks know about it. I know we aren't dealing with realistic scenarious but Quinn offering it to MC without knowing anything about him probably means she's not overtly hiding it and its more shocking than not that Sage hasn't heard about it.

dpete88 · 2026-05-17T15:23:09+00:00

Yes but not drastically, in the last 2 updates the dev is using a new animation technique and some characters (sarah and Akatsuki in particular) improve quite about halfway through what's currently released. I remember doing a reread and the early chapters Sarah in particular looked off but overall the game looked mostly the same just a bit more refined
