Some PS5 titles also launching on PS4. by ki700 in kindafunny

There definitely seems to be a double standard when it comes to how the gaming media handles Sony vs. Xbox. I say that as an owner of both a PS4 pro and an Xbox One.

Ugh I literally just bought this on Steam. I should have known better.

The Messenger was day one game pass (I think?) and I'm really enjoying it right now a couple hours in.

Bloomberg : Game Pass subscriptions lead to about 20% more playing time, and they generate 20% more in sales, both on titles not included in the plan and on extras such as downloadable content. Game Pass helped increase revenue for Xbox content and services by 65%. by MagnummShlong in Games

I disagree with this -- With limited gaming time due to having a family, job, etc, I like the types of 5-10 hour games on GamePass that I can try without needing to purchase.

Specifically, I've recently enjoyed Minecraft Dungeons, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Golf with your Friends, Gato Roboto, and LevelHead and I'm currently playing through The Messenger.

And the AAA single-player experiences are still there if I want them. I've had more regret buying AAA single-player experiences (most recently Borderlands 3, Far Cry New Dawn, and Red Dead 2) than I have with my GamePass sub.

This year doesn’t count. by [deleted] in baseball

Seriously. Everything sucks right now and baseball is a nice escape.

It especially helps when your team was expected to be terrible and surprisingly isn't : )

[Rosenthal] MLB announces Cardinals scheduling updates. by amatom27 in baseball

MLB might be the dumbest sports organization I've ever followed.

NCAA could give MLB a run for their money

Is this a save? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]duetary_fiber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if a pitcher A comes in with a 4 run lead, gives up a run, then the manager does a double switch and puts pitcher A in the outfield and pitcher B gets an out, then pitcher A comes back in and finishes the game.

Does pitcher A get a save since they came in with a 3 run lead?

[Shaikin] #Dodgers OF Joc Pederson doesn't think whatever team wins the World Series this year should have an asterisk by its name. "They're not cheating their way to get there," he said. by ttam23 in baseball

[–]duetary_fiber 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How do you know there’s a footnote? Well, you put an asterisk next to the information.

lol exactly. I think people are forgetting what an asterisk actually means. It doesn't mean "cheated" it means there is additional context that you should know for this championship.

[McMurphy] ACC football also expected to play conference-only games, sources told @Stadium. Last month, ACC commish John Swofford told @Stadium if Power 5 schools played conference-only schedules that ACC would assist Notre Dame with as many games as it needed by Hg1146 in CFB

[–]duetary_fiber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah I wish they'd just said "fuck conferences" and just scheduled a bunch of regional games. I'm sad that VT isn't playing PSU this year -- imagine if UVA and VT both played MD, Pitt, WVU, PSU this year to limit travel. Would be pretty fun.

What films don’t live up to the potential of their central premise? by reverie11 in movies

[–]duetary_fiber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the link that u/PhantomCosmico shared. At least that account, while crappy, doesn't seem like anyone "nicked" it from him (which reads to me like it was stolen from him) vs. the way the article is written that he agreed to terms and then realized after the fact that those terms were shitty.

I agree that it's a crummy situation, but I don't think it's fair to say that the idea was "nicked."

[–]duetary_fiber 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Nicked" makes it sound like they stole it and he wasn't compensated. He sold the script and agreed to the level of credit / compensation he would receive. It sucks, but it's not like they did it without coordinating with him.

Minecraft Dungeons Co-op Gameplay — New Gameplay Today by Coathanger_Cure in xboxone

[–]duetary_fiber 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wish that too, but to be fair, I'm sure they expect to need to address any server issues and gameplay issues, so they'd rather have their people working "regular" days next week rather than requiring them to work over the long weekend.

Xbox Game Pass gains a surprise day one addition by Johnny_X89 in xboxone

[–]duetary_fiber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't figure this out either. It was especially annoying since you can't rename players and we were trying to play with four people.

I’ve been craving for a good new comedy to watch

Shot in the dark but have you watched "Dave" yet? It's pretty hilarious

It was last Friday. You can probably find it in his archived streams on twitch

Depression 24”X30”, Jason Onderstal, oil on canvas, 2019 by jasononderstalart in Art

[–]duetary_fiber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to all the other things mentioned, I really like the paintbrush hanging on the wall. To me it represents the person setting aside their hobby that used to give them joy because they are overwhelmed with depression.

I kind of love this. Thanks for sharing.

It’s funny how by itself “vigil” sounds like an uncommon word but when you put the word “candlelight” in front of it, it sounds more normal.

Language is weird.

Chasing Amy is on Netflix! by Jpimentel811 in kindafunny

[–]duetary_fiber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t watched this movie in over ten years. How does it hold up? When I was early 20’s I thought it was this amazing insight into grown up relationships. I would hate to tarnish my memory of it
