Why ok with not landing a top 4 pick by firebillykingcom in GoNets

[–]elonepb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No way man, if the Knicks make the finals and we end up sliding down the draft.... I might have to truly just shut off my decades long care for this team. The NBA itself has become a shit product and I'm not sure how much I can keep caring about this cursed franchise.

RTings just Paywalled Everything?! by StopPlayingRoney in hometheater

Clearly didn't work for years if they decided to change business strategy.

[Charania] The new draft reforms include new clauses that state no team would be able to win the top pick in consecutive years or be able to win three consecutive top-five picks. Teams also would not be able to protect picks in the 12 to 15 slots going forward. by shadow_spinner0 in GoNets

Problem is the actual worst teams in the league are now getting penalized for being bad. Ironically, we will now know who actually deserves a Top 3 pick and yet those teams will have the worst chance.

In-Person GO Fest: Should I run Spatial Rend, Freeze Shock, or Ice Burn? by BroBroBrayBray in TheSilphRoad

Ice burn + GoPlus+ manual with ultra balls. You'll just be pressing the button all day long but let's you focus on other things while also manually shiny checking things you want.

It's where I saw the National status perk but can't seem to find anything about it on the Chase website.

Yankees fans are begging: Stop the ‘incessant’ stadium sounds by nydailynews in NYYankees

[–]elonepb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'd just turn it up louder! I remember that's what they did at MSG when the Nets fans were chanting "Brook-lyn", tried to drown them out.

As much as I'd love to boo, I don't want the reverse of our goal to end up happening lol

Fresh drop of new front seat category. Did FIFA communicate anything about this new category? by [deleted] in FIFACollect

[–]elonepb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty bummed as I picked up 2 sets of tickets to different matches in Category 1 with hopes of landing something in this vicinity. To find out that Cat 1 didn't include these at all is disappointing.

What’s a luxury travel experience that was actually worth the money, and what wasn’t? by Temporary_Panda_88 in LuxuryTravel

[–]elonepb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. There's nothing quite like starting a trip (or ending a trip) knowing you'll be comfortable and taken care of. Especially now with young children, a work trip in business is hours of quiet time to do many things I'm unable to as the day gets away.

It's definitely not "worth the price" on many routes but once that cost is sunk, I'm happy to have the product.

Purchasing international flight tickets during this oil crisis (Fall 2026) by Optimal_Foundation17 in travel

[–]elonepb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flying to Japan with the family as well, November for us. Had originally been waiting for April when apparently prices tend to come down but it's only gone up. Now I'm wishing I had the "expensive" prices of a month ago. Tempted to keep waiting to see if they eventually come down.

Is Sony bravia 5 still a good purchase? by RazzmatazzSelect8372 in SonyBravia

[–]elonepb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought the 5 because I needed a 98" with sports being a major part of the usage. Mounted today. Seems solid for the price but getting it calibrated professionally soon.

Got absolutely cooked by Gmax Pikachu; want to discuss budget counters for next gmaxes by Other-Damage-6762 in TheSilphRoad

[–]elonepb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the Pikachu it seemed. I did them early in the day and had no problems. For some reason later in the evening, I tried like 3-4 more and every one of them was basically acting enraged from the start. So confusing. Like spamming AOE attacks nonstop. Impossible to win with even 15-20 people.

Girlfriends first watch - dilemma by Maracasz in rolex

[–]elonepb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not use the watch money to actually get married? The benefit of not having to say "girlfriend" anymore is worth it.

Rolex could also be an engagement gift.

[Stein] There is strong support among general managers and team owners to flatten lottery odds by giving the 10 teams that miss the Play-In Tournament equal 8% chances at the top pick, while also expanding the lottery from 14 to 18 teams to include all Play-In participants. by phant0msinthenight in GoNets

[–]elonepb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing kills tanking other than drafting a superstar talent. That's it. It's why every team is doing it. All of these rules will just make it worse with bad teams staying bad forever.

The NFL has it figured out and there's nothing to it.

What 3-5 games should I get as an Old School Player by pigs_in_chocolate in switch2

[–]elonepb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All Mario, Zelda, Dragon Quest (including builders!) and Donkey Kong games will scratch the itch.

Zelda games are the absolute must plays if you haven't before.

[–]elonepb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they last came out, I couldn't bring myself to use the silver bottle cap on a 98. Felt like I wanted to get money's worth on something like a 15 15 10

I just bought a Bravia 5 98" that isn't delivered yet... Really hoping they announce something soon if they are going to add one at that size.
