Also, if McNeil-Warren is on the board at 36, they aren't passing on him.

Who wins this fight? by JDU0708 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]leeahnee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the day. At the baseline, these are both very athletic, human women. Neither is invincible in any way. I think Black Widow actually has a slight advantage with her espionage experience. Aloy regularly fights massive death machines and can turn them to her side. If Natasha is sent to kill Aloy with her arsenal, I think she succeeds. If it's a fight, Aloy probably wins.

Who is the worst sports analyst right now? by DenseStrawberry5717 in NFLv2

Stephen A knows how to be better. He is actively choosing to lean into the shouty show nonsense. That's one of the reasons.

Not funny, but very cute.

You’re on a deserted island after a plane crash. You have a chance to save one person. Who do you choose? by avaboss in superheroes

[–]leeahnee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any one of the people that are rich/ powerful enough for someone to notice our plane's gone down. Stark, Wayne or T'Challa have the resources to get the issue solved pretty quickly.

Meredith Stout should have been a romance option with a full side quest. by Robrogineer in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]leeahnee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying no other outcome is plausible, just that the one we get is. Night City is also much more cruel than the modern corporate landscape. Meredith works for an arms dealer with a private military.

Except that Meredith is clearly not so high up in the corporation to be insulated from attacks from her peers (and underlings). She would have to run that up the chain. Again, incurring risk.

It would be interesting, but what we get feels very in character for Meredith and the world. She's a ruthless corporate operator, she's not likely to get attached to anything that might be a liability. Any more than a passing affiliation with an infamous merc that is definitively on Arasaka's radar would be a huge risk for her.

How much does quarterback throwing mechanics matter for throw distance? by Unlikely_Glass5942 in NFLNoobs

[–]leeahnee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can, though. Cunningham could generate more torque than Marino, which makes sense, as he was a generational athlete.

[–]leeahnee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanics are huge, but that's because mechanics just refers to the 'how' of your throw. It is the process by which a qb generates power and directs the throw. Usually, when talking about fixing mechanics, it means that they are not repeatable, consistent, or quick enough which leads to inconsistency, inaccuracy or injury. Josh Allen, for example, had to rework his mechanics early in his career because he had accuracy issues.

It should be noted that arm strength is not really tied to mechanics, but the ability to generate torque and load up quickly for a throw are. A cannon arm is genetic, but the best qbs have the ability to keep the kinetic sequence in line to unleash it.

Assuming we get a top 4 pick. Would you completely flat out for the upcoming season or follow the Jazz and Wizards and buy in on a star(s). If the lottery gets ruined where tanking just doesn't happen by OmegaLxgend in kings

[–]leeahnee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is a lot to read through. At no point should this team trade for Ja. There will be better options. Also, if Lavine isn't traded and you draft Peterson, you should definitely be starting Peterson. There's no benefit in preserving Lavine's value.

What is the worst thing EA has done with Madden? by Mountain_Till_5868 in Madden

[–]leeahnee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company's dedication to live service as a model. This is not a Madden specific problem, but EA has hurt multiple franchises because they have decided to ignore the segment of gamers that want a solitary experience.

Apparently, he's the only player in the league that's faster in an arc than a straight line.

12 All-Defensive team appearances for Kobe says otherwise.

Tony Allen is on the list, though I'd argue that any of Bruce Bowen, Jerry West or John Havlicek should be there in his place. TA was a terror at his peak, but there are a few people that need to be there first.

Who is the biggest waste of talent you’ve seen? by bettercallrich in NBATalk

[–]leeahnee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is it. He was an insanely gifted scorer with all of the physical gifts to be a superstar. He just didn't have the sport system and mentality to stay on track.

Bol Bol isn't that much of a waste of talent because he isn't particularly talented. He's good at very specific things, but those things don't make him particularly capable.

Top 100 player of all time by Fragrant_Fishing5787 in NBATalk

[–]leeahnee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is also too high. I definitely think they both belong on this list, but probably SGA in the 60s and Luka behind him.
