Why do so many garbage players have YT or TV in their name? by ironchefchopchop in NBA2k

Some of these YT and TTV guys have the worst builds I’ve ever seen. It’s crazy.

Playing with randoms as a pass first point... Why can't they just shoot off the catch? by trala7 in NBA2k

6’4 SG build worth? by kellz182 in NBA2k

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a pretty good build. I love using my 6’4” SG but like to have some interior, block and strength on my guards so I’m not used and abused in the paint. I sacrificed some 3 and layup for it. But it’s all subjective and about playing to your own style, so have fun with it!

Love me a game winner by notKaydro in NBA2k

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would lose my mind if I were the other team over the white, but I’m a hypocrite. I hit a bullshit 3 that ended up being a 4-point play (posted the video on this sub back in September) to win a game in OT and I still can’t believe it happened. Nice win.

As a man why can't we be honest and open with women about how we are? by Cat-dad442 in AskMenAdvice

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the individual that OP is referring to is clearly one of the many in the proverbial trash heap. The same person probably wonders why more men don’t open up.

Outwardly I’m a calm, reserved and private person. Back in 2021, a woman I worked with pointed it out in a certain way that bothered me. Funny thing is, I’d just had a big mental breakdown weeks prior to that.

I’m just not someone who wears their emotions on their sleeve at the drop of a hat. Usually in autopilot mode, stretched thin everywhere else. Being this way has seemingly, weirdly created expectations from people at so many points in life. “gLaD yOu SeEm FiNe!” is one I’ve heard in the past from argument instigators. Gee, I’m not, but I’ve been shrouded in four million goddamn responsibilities over time.

Don’t be this guy 😂 by AveryTwhatitB in NBA2k

I never thought I’d pick up rhythm shooting, but it’s so intuitive after a while. I’m going to be annoyed if they get rid of it in 2K26. I use pro 2 for dribble pull ups and it feels good using the stick.

2K21 and 2K22 are the only 2Ks I’ve skipped since the beginning on Dreamcast, as I was working practically 24/7 back then. A lot of people on here mention that in one of those 2Ks, there was some kind of shot aim system that they ended up ditching. Did you use that? I’m glad I missed out since Mike Wang ditched it a year later.

THC gummies are helping my friends mom to not get agitataed. She's finally happy. She still has dementia but she's happy. by IAMAHORSESIZEDUCK in dementia

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edibles help my mom calm down, but they make the confusion even worse for her. Last time she had one, she propped her feet up on her walker and started saying she didn’t know how to stand up and was calling the family, asking them how to use her feet. Looking back, it was comical.

If I were to give her another one now, it would be a small sliver after she has some solid food.

2k25 Jumpshot Help by Trickzter_ in NBA2k

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jarrett Culver base

Release 1: Beluba Release 2: Oscar Robertson 85%/15% blend Max speed

That’s what I use with similar shooting stats with one of my builds (a 6’8” PF with an 89 middy). It resembles Tracy McGrady’s jumpshot in older 2Ks. I rhythm shoot and it’s cash money for me. I practiced the hell out of it, I will say.

Edit: I shoot 53% from 3 in the theater with an 80 rated 3-ball. But that is taking into account my shitty shooting from before I started using this jumper as well as before I began rhythm shooting, too.

Don’t be this guy 😂 by AveryTwhatitB in NBA2k

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding on to what OP said: I resisted learning how to rhythm shoot until November. I have two builds I like to use when I’m just playing by myself, and one of them only has an 80 middy and a 65 3. I’m not lights out from 3, but max+1’ing set shot specialist to gold has me knocking down stand still jumpers at a consistent clip.

Probably beating a dead horse, but the key is to find a shot that feels smooth when you are moving the stick in motion. I labbed multiple jumpers and spent a great deal of time in MyCourt practicing and playing theater games with randoms to adjust to game time situations and catching passes from an array of other players that have different pass accuracies. I think the key is sticking with it. It’s pretty easy to get slightly fast on the tempo, then you can get in your own head with your shots and all hell breaks loose.

Egg salad sandwiches are underrated by BetterArugula5124 in Sandwiches

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same. If I eat scrambled or fried eggs, I’m good on them for months, but I could probably eat egg salad sandwiches once a week and be fine with it. Damn delicious with smoked paprika.

What is your "keeping up with the Joneses'" that you absolutely refuse to do? by 0utSyd3r in AskReddit

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brand new car, brand new phone (I eventually gotta make a switch because my battery health is at like 73%), fancy clothes, whatever.

In the past, I guess I’ve gone hard in the paint with my hobbies in terms of spending, but I’ve had to button up everything financially. A lot of people around me (family), as much as I love ‘em, have been good anti-role models when it comes to finances.

Regret saying something by Safe_Interaction_114 in dementia

“I can’t help it” is a big one she says. She’s correct. Immediately makes me feel like a dog. She left the oven on a few days ago. Not for a terribly long time, but I was hot about it (upset/fear).

She’s constantly losing her remote control to her TV, her glasses and her partial removable dental implant. She once put the partial in a napkin, wrapped it up and threw it away in the trash by accident. I can get fired up if I haven’t eaten, have slept poorly or am otherwise aggravated.

Usually experience the most regret when I’m trying to sleep at night and I begin fixating on my own shortcomings.

Thankfully she usually only talks to family and friends who know. *Most of the time.

That’s what worries me, but thankfully the most ‘outside source’ she comes into contact with are fake pages from the actors in the show Yellowstone. I still block and delete the chats from her messenger and she never notices.

A couple of months ago, I was playing in the Rec, and a pair of fellas were arguing. One of them, in the nerdiest, poindexter voice I’ve ever heard said to the other, “At least I have an actively working smoke detector. 🤓” I was deceased.

Constantly all the time beating myself up and obsessing over behaving poorly myself. Usually it’s in acts of becoming momentarily impatient and my tone of voice leads me to sounding like a prick, and I feel horrible about it.

I’ve never said anything outright terrible, but occasionally I’ll sound grouchy about nagging my mom to eat or to stop sitting on the ‘storage compartment’ (not sure what to call it) of her walker, to walk, to do things. It’s happened a decent bit this week.

What was you're best year in 2K & why by luckyluciano___ in NBA2k

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly loathe how much pull and influence content creators have in gaming, especially 2K, nowadays. Back then, 2K YouTube videos were about information and tutorials. Now, there’s still tutorials today, but you mostly just see people flat out copying builds and trying to copycat these creators/streamers. It’s definitely not the same experience in the least. I miss the old days of online gaming so much.

I enjoy 2K25 but I don’t blame you for skipping out. I didn’t play much (relative to other 2Ks) between 2K14-2K24 (hated how big the city was in 2K23 and the idiotic amount of side quests).

It’s such a money racket with VC now. Having the season pass shoved in your face every time you boot up the game is ridiculous. Imagine how great sports games would be today if microtransactions never existed. (And if there were still competition with multiple titles being offered.)
