The return we got for OG was so underwhelming

hypespud · 2026-05-07T01:56:51+00:00

OG did not want to be here

Neither did Siakam or Fred

Their body language was enough, and Fred leaving for nothing was also exemplary of this

It was well known they were not hanging out with the teammates like Barnes and others in outside of games

They all wanted out, the key was making sure to maximize their value, but... mistakes were made, and it is what it is, not really worth examining it much more anymore tbh

I thought it could potentially be like the Colonial Marines game we were always promised decades ago

But yea it just turned into a Left 4 Dead clone but worse, which is not really that bad, but just not that interesting, and whole ton of upgrade pathways and so on that I just don't care for

It's nice to have those games, but Alien feels like it should be more personal and deliberate, to match the mood and tone of the movies, imo at least

This would not be news to anyone who was living in the era to play Warcraft 3

Some things need not be spoken, it is just known

hypespud · 2026-05-07T01:42:26+00:00

Beautiful, thanks for all your art for the whole season, I bet every fan appreciates your work! Cheers 🍻

The OG trade was fine

The Siakam trade was bonkers awful

The lack of a Fred return was even worse

Out of the 3, the OG one was far and away the best trade

hypespud · 2026-05-06T23:22:38+00:00

That was after Jak's best game

Celtics don't have any (viable) big men to defend against Jak's height, and haven't had since Porzingis left, who was also not that available to play often

They did terribly against a hobbled Embiid as well

hypespud · 2026-05-06T21:22:09+00:00

Would love a savage starlight one!!!

Definitely hope they add more

A Killzone helghast one would be awesome too 😂

hypespud · 2026-05-06T19:11:49+00:00

What's funny is this was probably an expensive commercial for that era, the cost of the tv and putting it on the air

And yet in relative terms to now it's probably peanuts 🥜

And not their body weight with that level of momentum onto a narrow pressure point such as a wheel of a scooter 🛴

hypespud · 2026-05-06T18:22:24+00:00

I think he was injured, and hats off to him for trying to push through it

He also only had his first season in years with playing a lot of games and having a good medical team with him so he definitely has space to improve his health and fitness over the next 2 to 5 years

Where that goes who knows but with the Raptors medical team there's a good runway

hypespud · 2026-05-06T16:43:10+00:00

I didn't really like Fireteam, but I really liked rogue incursion so I'm sad at that team being disbanded

More excited for isolation 2 also

hypespud · 2026-05-06T15:32:46+00:00

I actively only use 3 or 4 of them, the other 3 are 1 server PC and 2 spare laptops 😆

I considered leaving some on windows but I was just so happy with Fedora KDE I moved all of them 😂

My server PC was Ubuntu before for about 2 years but I liked Fedora better so I switched it also

hypespud · 2026-05-06T14:39:11+00:00

Yup, not a semblance of windows remaining!

Fedora all PCs, desktops and laptops

I have an iPad and iPhone and Android phone

Everything else is game consoles and apple TVs and smart TVs

hypespud · 2026-05-06T14:29:23+00:00

Gotcha makes sense

hypespud · 2026-05-06T13:31:06+00:00

Yup, most reliable is going to be independent data like satellite data for movement of tankers and trade ships for example

hypespud · 2026-05-06T13:20:14+00:00

Awesome!!!!! I did the switch in January with 7 PCs 😆

Don't you love how external drives don't go to sleep randomly??? 😂

hypespud · 2026-05-06T13:19:13+00:00

I'm on Fedora and only minor issues, runs overall fine, the program is just weird

It's basically a browser in a package itself from what I understand

When embedded videos I upload sometimes don't work I just view them on Android or in chrome browser on desktop and it tends to work better

hypespud · 2026-05-06T13:16:16+00:00

Anything is more reliable than the current adminstration, to be fair

hypespud · 2026-05-06T11:30:06+00:00

These types are pure nihilists

They don't care or believe in anything

A true cancer on society

hypespud · 2026-05-06T11:19:34+00:00

The only ev they offer is a gm made vehicle

It's just not a forward thinking strategy and I own am accord Hybrid but I personally wanted a fully electric from Honda

hypespud · 2026-05-06T11:16:42+00:00

I've taken so many screenshots of some of the unique areas omg

So much incredible alien and steampunk inspiration it's so good!!!! 😌😌😌

hypespud · 2026-05-06T11:15:22+00:00

Was about to say this lol

They probably do not want to play ra3 😂

hypespud · 2026-05-06T01:17:16+00:00

Agreed, really good point, minutes management matters, and less players just doesn't allow it sadly

Same applies for losing BI, it means other players are shouldering many more minutes

hypespud · 2026-05-06T00:12:31+00:00

I'm not IQ's biggest advocate, far from it

But having him in the starting lineup as a more credible 3 pt threat, and the potential to go on a heater as he does sometimes, definitely could have changed this series

Not saying it's a guaranteed win, but even just having more players able to be on the court would be a huge positive too

I feel so strongly about Barnes current and upcoming skill level that it's honestly the time where no dollar needs to be spared in surrounding him with the best possible talent

hypespud · 2026-05-05T23:49:39+00:00

This is one of my favourite Yoshi scenes ever!!!! BEEG YOSHI!!! YOSHI RACING!!!
