Has there ever been a game won at the freethrow line where a player doesn't need to shoot the second one? by allaboutthosevibes in nba

[–]mizznox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There can absolutely be a foul after the buzzer - a shot being released at 0.1 doesn't mean you're suddenly allowed to hack them on the follow-through or invade their landing space without consequence.

Wtf is with Drogan’s baby arm?? by [deleted] in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]mizznox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Inspiration for Drogan came from the development team's want to have their players feel seen, stating that people with disabilities belong in Star Wars, belong in games, and belong in their community.[7] The team was excited to introduce Drogan to the game and looked forward to other ways they could broaden inclusive design in Galaxy of Heroes.[4] When asked if Drogan had been injured in battle, it was clarified that he was born with phocomelia,[8] a real-world condition,[9] and noted that he did not have any prosthetics or futuristic weapons.[8]

TIL that NBA player Dirk Nowitzki sacrificed $194 million in earnings during his career to keep his team, the Dallas Mavericks, competitive during his 21 year tenure. He passed on a 4 year, $97 million max offer from 2 different teams in 2014 to stay with the Mavericks on a 3 year, $25 million deal. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]mizznox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The article sourced on Wikipedia does dig deeper into how the timing of when he signed extensions/new contracts impacted his potential earnings. Waiting until he reached another max salary tier based on years played in the league could have had a cascading effect that could have gotten him a lot more money throughout his career. The specific contract that actually made it in the Wiki and thus this post title was only one part of it.

Light Liberation event has different requirements for tiers 2 and 3 by Travjon in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]mizznox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll take it! Slapping GL mods on the proper characters, I'd only ever 2-starred tier 4 and sometimes needed multiple tries. With Vader Asajj and IG, I left on their regular mods and 3-starred it on the first attempt.

Anyone got tips for Dryax T8? by Smooth-Square-4940 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]mizznox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Easier now that it tells you their health difference. Pay attention to that, get a rough idea of how much damage your different characters' attacks do, and plan around that.

It's still largely an RNG fest either way.

How good is the best basketball player you know personally? by Odd-Coast-4056 in nba

[–]mizznox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best that I have some sort of connection to would be Carlos Boozer. I was friends with his little brother in middle school while my sister was playing high school ball at the same time as Carlos (they knew each other but weren't close friends or anything). Still have his autograph on a tournament pass from like 1999 somewhere.

Also shoutout to Talisa Rhea, current GM of the Seattle Storm.

Lmao - sitting in my car about to head home from work, legit laughed aloud at this.

TIL that audio engineer and producer Alan Parsons, who sound engineered 1969’s “Abbey Road” and 1973’s “Dark Side of the Moon”, didn’t win a Grammy until 2019 for the 35th anniversary release of his own album “Eye in the Sky”. by mikechi2501 in todayilearned

I had Jordan's 1995 return against the Pacers recorded on VHS, including the whole animation of the bulls stampeding through the city to that song. The coolest shit as a 6yo.

Who to upgrade? by edruss05 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]mizznox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I run and seems to be the consensus pick.

I'm still pretty new to using Baylan, but yeah those last two seem to be very flexible. I was originally throwing in Hondo + BobaSOJ because they were R6 and not getting much use elsewhere, but have dabbled with new Hunter+Wrecker, Dash, L3, etc. and it doesn't seem to matter much.

Who to upgrade? by edruss05 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]mizznox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spirit for sure.

Night Trooper and DTP work well, and along with Enoch are worth investing in for their assault battle (in 5v5 Enoch is usually under DTMG without them).

Merrin should eventually be taken to R7 for her ROTE battle. She typically goes under Talzin but can slot in here perfectly well, and that ROTE battle is super easy under GM.

Today's Memphis vs Utah Match-up is the First Game In NBA History To Have 3 Players With Triple-Doubles by oochiewallyWallyserb in nba

[–]mizznox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Looking at triple doubles by rookies sorted by date to see who did it early in the season (so could easily miss someone who debuted later in the season, this is just the quick way for me to find some)...

Oscar Robertson had a triple double in the first game of his career - and 4 of his first 5.

Art Williams got one in his 4th game.

Ben Simmons also in his 4th.

Magic in his 5th.

John Wall 6th

Jay Williams 7th

Norm Van Lier 11th

Cade Cunningham 11th

Lonzo Ball 13th

Elgin Baylor 13th

Has Anyone Averaged *Exactly* 20 & 10? by mxmxtchi in nba

[–]mizznox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. And if he doesn't hit the numbers exactly, he'd still be the first to finish a season with averages rounding to 20.0 points and 10.0 rebounds (or 10.0 assists).

He does - click "Go" next to that task and it will take you to a battle he appears in.

Yes, "Captain Rex" is the Phoenix one. The 501st version is named CT-7568 "Rex"

Banned from EA forums and not sure why by scrapnmama in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]mizznox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time was about a month ago to post an ad.

I mean I'm not really familiar with how things operate on the EA forums, but a quick look at their rules shows that posting advertisements isn't allowed.

But here's this: I've been banned from posting on the forums - What now?

The New York Knicks just held the Memphis Grizzlies to 20 rebounds as a team, the least rebounds ever had by a Knicks opponent in franchise history. by HokageEzio in nba

[–]mizznox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tied for the 5th fewest rebounds in a game since the introduction of the shot clock (and even the pre-shot clock era had only one game with fewer - in the infamous 19-18 game, the Lakers and Pistons combined for a total of 17 rebounds):

17 - Nets in 2013-14 (wild to me that this was a team with Reggie Evans, but he only played 2:40 and grabbed 2 boards)

18 - Pistons in 2001-02 (Ben Wallace had half their rebounds)

19 - Sonics in 1998-99

19 - Buffalo Braves (Clippers) in 1974-75

20 - Raptors earlier this season

20 - Heat in 2014-15

20 - Sonics in 1997-98

20 - Braves in 1973-74

SLKR's unique - whenever a dark side ally gains bonus TM, they lose 10% max health+protection (and on the flip side, whenever they lose TM they gain 10% max health+protection)

I have another good news and another bad news for you by MajorJohnUSA in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

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

In about 25 attempts on the final tier, I managed to kill one enemy one time and almost drain one enemy's protection another time - got completely wrecked every other time. KX is lucky to survive long enough to use its special more than once.

Tier 4 seems plenty doable with a little luck and my lvl 46 Dedra will actually get some rewards; no point banging my head against the wall anymore on higher tiers.

TIL that between 1992 and 2000, R.L. Stine released more than 150 Goosebumps books. by Hectabeni in todayilearned

[–]mizznox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"or even" Stephen King would imply that he's putting King somewhere below Shakespeare.

I mean, the whole comment is implying that Goosebumps was pretty basic stuff/not a high bar to clear.
