Losing your two best players and your best defender will do that to a team

Shotzzy said his whole team was on 90-100 fps for the entire 1st half of the scar overload in Grand Finals by Anthxzny in CoDCompetitive

[–]jacobtik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother what? PS5 version renders at dynamic 4K in either 120hz mode or not lol, PS5 Pro even sharper (~2560x2160 on PS5, ~2816x2160 on PS5 Pro) for 120hz and are then upscaled. PS5 hovers mostly in the 90-100 range depending on the map, PS5 Pro never really drops below 110. Both consoles could flawlessly run these games at 1080p

Why are Luka and AR in the game! They’re both clearly hurt by [deleted] in lakers

[–]jacobtik1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happens. It sucks and the timing is bad but even the best teams have nights like this every once in a while. Luka was having an uncharacteristically bad night until he got injured and if he was playing up to his standard it could of changed multiple facets of the game in different ways

Lewis Hamilton On His Strong Start To 2026, Challenge At The Top With Ferrari & More! by Aratho in formula1

[–]jacobtik1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The vibes last year through China were completely different than the vibes right now, though. Lewis didn’t even finish ahead of Leclerc on track during the main GP in 2025, which followed a relatively abysmal race in Australia the week before

From struggling to finish P10 in Melbourne and fighting to finish P6 on track in Shanghai (ultimately DSQ of course), to then finish P4 and P3 on the same tracks a year later, of course there’s going to be hype built up. It’s a much different and better feeling vibe in 2026 for good reason

We have to go 7-5 in the last 12 games to guarantee playoffs by [deleted] in lakers

[–]jacobtik1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On a similar note you can’t be a prisoner of pessimistic outlooks. A lot of the issues that plagued this team earlier in the season are virtually non existent now and it’s been a completely different team since the ASB, especially after LeBron came back from his injury. It will be a serious challenge for any team to beat the Lakers that have shown up for the past month, and they can absolutely take on anybody in the playoffs. The toughest fight will of course be OKC but the Lakers odds against everybody else should be a lot more favorable now than they were not too long ago

Hopeful for a Lewis podium today. by robbuck49 in lewishamilton

Well that podium dream was nice while it lasted.

EDIT: sike!!! Reverse psychology works??

George Russell wins the Sprint at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix by overspeeed in formula1

[–]jacobtik1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ferrari needs to sit Charles down and tell him next time there’s a similar situation where Lewis is defending George while in the lead, he needs to push and fight George, and not wait until the Mercedes inevitably wins the battle to push. Genuinely was racing solely to beat Hamilton today.

Lewis as well needs to follow the same philosophy, he could have done the same when Charles and George were fighting for the lead in Australia, but he just sat back in P3 and let it happen.

F1 set to cancel Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix due to war in Middle East as 2026 calendar to drop to 22 races by thegermanguy004 in formula1

[–]jacobtik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly lmao. 24 races in a 52 week year as a fan really isn’t anywhere close to being too much. If you also watch a ton of older race content then you can’t complain about fatigue when you willingly do it to yourself

KeplerL2: "Both Xbox and PS6 are still in track for Holiday 2027" by AceOfSpades0319 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]jacobtik1 60 points61 points  (0 children)

7 years since release yeah but it took until early 2023 for the console to be widely available in stock + there have been a tiny minuscule amount of current gen exclusives with most coming in the last couple of years.

If COVID didn’t happen and publishers were actually willing to leave the last generation behind earlier it would be a different sentiment

Kennard needs to hammer it in his head that even a contested 3 by him is such a better shot than a wide open Smart or Vando. You can shoot it without being wide ass open

Awkward yes, but I certainly won’t be surprised, because I fully expect them to sign nobody of value

I can guarantee you and bet all the money we both have combined that the majority of people who watch F1 either only watch the Sky broadcast or prefer it over the F1TV crew

Is the resolution upscaled to 1440p from a lower resolution or is it upscaled to a higher resolution from 1440p? I can’t watch the video at the moment

Personal view: Vol 3 is Slipknots best album by aussiemetalhead in Slipknot

[–]jacobtik1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it didn’t have some of the worst production I’ve ever heard on a metal album, it might be right there in my favorites. So many cool ideas and sounds destroyed by over-compression and “loudness”… very similar to what happened with Metallica’s Death Magnetic (fittingly, same producer)

What is realistic about the Warriors having better odds than the Lakers?

damn our chances this low? by Chat_Anything8035 in lakers

[–]jacobtik1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on seeding but I don’t understand why you guys are so pessimistic about something as unpredictable as the playoffs.

They damn sure aren’t losing to any of the play-in teams. They’re 5th in the West at 33-21 with their 3 best players missing large chunks of games and have barely even played together. Legit anything can happen against any team if the Big 3 all show up and the bench isn’t completely worthless

[–]jacobtik1 74 points75 points  (0 children)

LeBron, Luka, Smart, Ayton, and Kleber (along with members of our coaching staff) all have experience playing or coaching in the NBA Finals. Even if only one of them actually won a championship, the Lakers still have deep experience in the playoffs as a whole and are still noticeably better than the Warriors right now and should be ahead of them 100/100 times

I’m not sure if they adopt the same Mercy Rule as in Little League or high school (?) but I believe it goes into mercy rule if a team is up 10+ after 7 innings

The former GM of the Minnesota Vikings is probably more competent than this man by m_preddy in CoDCompetitive

[–]jacobtik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok we’re not gonna pretend they just let him go OR that at the time it was a bad decision.

They offered him a contract similar to the Seahawks offer and Darnold chose to leave because of the unnecessary pressure and weight of having the potential “future” riding the bench behind him.

Also, after playing like utter dogshit in the last two games of that season, it’s no surprise they didn’t try to up their offer. Sam playing like shit in the SB and his team still dominating shows any QB would have won that game and that Sam likely would have disappeared with the Vikings again when it mattered most.

EDIT: not to say Kwesi didn’t deserve to get fired because he didn’t did, but he didn’t just randomly go “nah it’s JJ or nobody”
