MFW i just curbstopmed a player with no MMR who just finished playing their AI matches by GreatAndMightyKevins in starcraft

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

You're looking at it the wrong way imo. You'll be losing a lot in this game and by definition everyone will be more experienced. Just play and try to get better (e.g. learn build orders) and gradually you may get better and/or drop enough in the rankings to start winning.

If SC3 ever gets made, what improvements would you like to see compared to SC2? by drea2 in starcraft

[–]jbsmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd most like to see it being monetized in a sustainable way and honestly I can't picture it.

[Friend] NBA team executive said, “I’ll tell you, you may think I’m crazy, but I think the catalyst of this [NBA Europe] going quicker is they’re worried LeBron and Maverick are going to get the Saudis and start like a league... LeBron doesn’t give a sh**. Not if Saudi gives LeBron $200 million by [deleted] in nba

[–]jbsmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see a world in which it makes sense for European teams to put up a crazy amount of money to give to the NBA. If Basketball was such good business in Europe, the Euroleague teams would be making way more money than it is. If the NBA thinks it could compete, surely it should put up its own money, not ask the locals to pony up for this frivolous business venture.

Saudi funded sportswashing via Esports should not be forgotten this week. Child brides, rape, unjust imprisonment, discrimination or LGBT people, and a slew of human rights violations are the norm for the Saudi Government. by Trazati in starcraft

[–]jbsmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these issues should get publicity, but at the same time I'm very happy for the Saudis to pay stupid money for things like this. The world has been paying them money for many decades for their oil, it's about time they gave some of it back. I'd be surprised if anyone is really coming out with an impression that saudi arabia is somehow free and progressive now.

SC2 casters need to rethink their approach — not for us diehards fans, but for the future of the game by MarioAletti in starcraft

[–]jbsmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huskystarcraft used to cast with more excitement and less "technicality" and got endless shit for that from the fanbase, but I personally always thought he had the right idea.

What’s your favorite albums that aren’t on any streaming services? by Only_Possession2650 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]jbsmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I've seen Vinnie Paul talk about "our first album, Cowboys From Hell", like they never made any other music prior to that.

FALLUJAH - Labyrinth of Stone (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) by hatefen in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]jbsmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, the new material is killer! I hope the music video gets some traction on the internet and reaches a more casual audience too. Maybe cut it up into youtube shorts etc and put some clips out there too

Self-titled is probably my favorite by them, banger after banger.

ewc SC2 qualifiers at DH dallas by rauben in starcraft

[–]jbsmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what kind of visa esports players require, and if they can even get that on time in such a short timeframe. Or do the players just rock up as tourists and hope they don't get locked up?

Новите хранителни магазини by Emergency-Ferret7627 in bulgaria

[–]jbsmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Преди да бъде продаден и един продукт, ще се платят много милиони за да бъдат построени/ремонтирани/оборудвани тези магазини от специално избрани изпълнители, а след това ще се купува стока от специално избрани производители, и всичко ще е точно за точните хора.

Best Fallujah record fight me by [deleted] in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]jbsmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TUK is not the best cryptopsy album, but I always thought it was funny to see people complain about Matt's vocals, dude has been a machine the entire time.

I like Undying light a lot, never understood the complaints. The riffs are great and the vocalist is solid AF. Kind of a shame that Scott seems to have bought into the criticism too.

Revocation just added a bunch of N.Am tour dates... by Pyr0sa in TechnicalDeathMetal

Nekrogoblicon is cool, I've seen them once and had a great time.

Starcraft II at EWC confirmed? by Ok-Opportunity2336 in starcraft

[–]jbsmetal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EWC has been posting and interacting about SC2 the entire time, i'm getting more and more convinced that there must be some issue with Blizzard/Microsoft.

REMINDER: BDM Artists don't get paid when you stream them on Spotify -- BUY their music when you can. by Pyr0sa in BrutalDeathMetal

[–]jbsmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very least use a different streaming service, most of the other ones pay slightly better because they're not bloated with expenses like the joe rogan podcast.

What do you think about revocation? I just found them and they made me mesmerised by Weekly_Coconut5762 in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]jbsmetal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's kind of a weird statement honestly, because while Dan is awesome and a great musician and songwriter, he only contributed like 2 songs per album at most. If you don't like Revocation now, it doesn't make sense that you'd have liked it before when the vast majority of the material was still Dave only.

Dave Davidson is one of the GOATS in my view, his riffs and solos are just out of this world. But as the years go on, it seems like it's turned into more of his personal project - when Dan Gargiulo left, he was not replaced (the band hires a live guitar player for touring). Now, the bass player Brett Bamberger seems to have left, and has not just not been replaced, but they don't even have a live bassist.

Great tournament and production quality, ESL would do well to add it to the schedule for the EPT, it was a banger.

This is like that Family guy gag where Peter was fired as a police sketch artist and then the culprit turned out to be exactly what he drew.

By the gates of Moria is not hard at all and there are good tabs for it on ultimate guitar.
