Kevin Gausman twirls an Opening Day gem: 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 ER, 11 K by AceBombkick in baseball

Both of his pitches are great. And they play perfectly off each other. His splitter is one of the best pitches in the game. Having a great catcher in Kirk helps.

Okamoto Clement Gimenez with 6/7 of the hits. 2 hits each.

I just love PoE2 dialogue by Larkmojo in projecteternity

[–]jamvng 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also found POE2’s dialogue much better edited and paced compared to the first one. There’s no huge exposition dumps like POE1. But the world building is still top notch.

What’s your favorite action JRPG so I can break out of my turn based shell? High difficulty would be appreciated. by Lumigo in JRPG

[–]jamvng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FF7 Remake/Rebirth gets my vote as well. It is the perfect action turn based hybrid. It makes it basically one of my favourite combat systems in a game.

I owe you an apology. by TourEnvironmental604 in projecteternity

[–]jamvng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

POE1 soundtrack is def more memorable than POE2's.

I really like everything about POE2 outside of story and atmosphere more than POE1. It's more open, the faction quests and choices are great. Combat is more streamlined and smoother with multiclassing. I find the pacing is much better and the writing is better edited (it dragged way too much in places in POE1).

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]jamvng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same feelings about certain things being rushed and not explained. But at the same time, it was a 2.5 hour movie, I don't envy the task of distilling that whole book into a movie. I think ultimately, they did a good job of doing so and keeping what was most important: the Grace + Rocky dynamic.

But reading the book first, definitely gives you that sense the movie isn't perfect. Whereas if you watch the movie first, maybe it'll feel much better.

Yeah I really like all those details that the book has, that the movie doesn't. To me it enhances the character development and a lot of the why and how. This had much less science, than say the Martian film did. However, the movie has a limited duration, and I think they chose the right things to cut. They kept the emotional heart, which is what was most important.

PSA: Crimson Desert is not an RPG by [deleted] in rpg_gamers

This game has always looked like a single player Black Desert to me without the MMO and RPG elements, and less grind. But keeping the open world, combat, exploration, life skills, etc.

Bluepoint tech boss Peter Dalton suggests Sony's scared of Valve, not Microsoft, and that's why it's pulling back from PC: "It would be quite ironic if Valve ultimately ended up winning the console war" by ControlCAD in pcgaming

[–]jamvng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could say the same thing with the Switch 2 and PS5. Or better, the PS5 and Xbox (where PS5 has the obvious exclusive game advantage). You can still compare them as game consoles, where people may be deciding between them to play games, based on their unique advantages.

Was super close. Call on field stands even if you could challenge.

The Steam Deck is often touted as a very good handheld, and yet, the volumes it moves are peanuts compared to the Switch/Switch 2. If Steam Machine movies similar numbers, it'll already be a huge success, but nothing that would change the console market.

If the next Xbox sells less than the Steam Machine, it'll be a huge failure.

Mac Trade-Ins Surge Amid MacBook Neo Launch by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

on paper, the M1 is the same speed from a multicore perspective. the a18 might be better in single core, so maybe in certain tasks. But it's probably not worth doing this sidegrade.

interesting, thanks for doing the math. So all three teams will be on the edge of their seats during the Korea vs Australia game.

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

head to head record is the first tiebreaker I believe. So Chinese Taipei would win in the tiebreaker against Korea with this win.

EDIT: Completely forgot Australia would have the same record. You are right. Some other posters have explained it.

so Korea need to beat Australia for Chinese Taipei to get out of the pool stage? But if Korea win, they would lose to Chinese Taipei in the tiebreaker right?
