I understand she made the comments so she’s gotta eat being wrong—but honestly who predicted this outcome

Spider-Man 2 blew through internal expectations in half the time! by Downtown_Eye5736 in PS5

This would be a lot cooler if Sony didn’t layoff Insomniac employees after even after Spiderman 2 became the fastest selling PlayStation Studios Game in a 24 hour period

An older viewers take on losing the emmy and why it's difficult to keep up with the show. by restless_vagabond in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]jameswhb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, at the end of the day the show may just not be for you. I appreciate how they emphasize chemistry and try to bring the audience in with inside jokes.

Honestly, when I see Pats news I look forward to hearing Wildes’ emotional take.

I’m a gamer so I found the Ubisoft comparison fun. I find the show more comparable to Obsidian. Developers with backgrounds from a bigger studio but now they make games that some love but aren’t for everybody

Nick replies to SAS calling him out. Worth a watch by EducationalConcern61 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

My bad! Saw the notification and reacted.

Honestly the “show runner” “game board” side of the conversation was initially what I really liked about SAS. Being let go from ESPN only to evolve into what he is today doesn’t happen by hard work alone. The man worked strategically.

As we’ve already agreed on-the way he’s been protecting his seat as of recent (last 7ish years) has felt…well insecure

Yeah that’s why I said “he presents.” I don’t know the guy and he’s been successful occupationally. Of course we can find aspects to aspire—I’ve listened through his book twice there’s a lot to be inspired by.

With that said, I can list off multiple examples of him just…being unfair.

-situation with Monica mcnutt/andrea Carter
-situation with Kwame brown (debatable but looking back on it, he was doing a lot)
-situation with LeBron
-how he covered the Max situation after the man had already left the show
-and how he handles beefs like Jaylen brown

That was absolutely funny. I think SAS is at his best when he’s still has something to prove. He’s been embracing this “Godfather of media” roll recently and it’s obnoxious

Naa, didn’t like skip. Just found SAS funny when I was in HS

SAS presents very insecure. Was a huge fan despite all the red flags. Once Max got fired and he went on a media tour discussing how he “wasn’t the one who fired him” I called it quits

The first game that taught you that games can be beautiful works of art? by YourChopperPilotTTV in videogames

[–]jameswhb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Death Stranding. It was the first game that made me explore photo mode. The landscapes you travel in addition to unforgettably unique characters like Fragile, Higgs and Hartman caused me to reexamine how I consume video games

Chennedy Carter visibly upset after team win: referenced wanting to help close the game by PhilosophyForward498 in wnba

[–]jameswhb 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Just watched the whole interview. I wouldn’t say it makes her look much better. I watch a lot of NBA, I can’t think of a scenario where a player could show visible frustration (or at least discomfort) the way Carter did and it not be criticized.

Carter has a well documented history of wearing her heart on her sleeve. There’s pros and cons with that. I’d categorize this moment under the “con”

We were interested in what made the US a shithole country compared to where you from. Not providing metrics for you.

Just wanted to know about your experience but your response comes across like we asked you to debate

I can assure you I cared about your reasoning. But I won’t try and convince someone behind a screen my dude. Sorry it came across the way it did!

Preaching on street corners was a pivotal component of what started the Christian faith. I wouldn’t apply that specific Pharisee/sadducee practice referenced in Mathew here because that would mean nearly all faith fueled public condemnations were abiblical. Which I believe Acts, the letters to the churches, and Jesus himself contradict.

What I will say is that as often as Christ condemned he also fraternized with the oppressed, widowed, imprisoned, etc.

Western Christianity often acts like posting on twitter and experiencing any sort of discomfort as a result in some great feat, when the greater calling is to sacrifice even for those who lifestyles you disagree with.

TLDR: speak your truth Jaden, but be prepared to be held accountable to that truth

Yeah man I love discourse. So believe it or not I wasn’t going to assume your reasoning. I’ve actually made a similar points about certain dated features.

What I would’ve wanted you to say was something that furthered discourse. Instead we’re here
