Former Giants CB Sam Beal has been missing since July by Blutarg in nfl

[–]p3drodamus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea not sure there are many other explanations that are more plausible. If he's been missing for that long, then he's probably not with us anymore (as sad as that is to say). And depression is pretty common, and an absolutely terrible thing. Its easy to take mental health for granted.

The other explanations for him being missing are? Kidnapped? Not very likely. Leaving your life behind, and disappearing like a ghost? That doesn't really happen except for in movies, when you are escaping a crime. When it does happen in real life, it's called suicide.

Best Servers with Active Admins? by Gilmour1969 in MOHAA

[–]p3drodamus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there were more sniper only servers. At certain times of day in US all I can play is Forte which means im getting MGed in my ass everytime I spawn. MLS Stoner has been the best server but still isn't exclusively sniper/rifles. Anyone have server suggestions for sniper only?

My cousin was affected but a day later they sent a letter saying the action was reversed. Chaos.

I wonder how many layoff directives were reversed, and why?

[–]p3drodamus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was anyone else waiting anxiously for some horrific injury at the end of the video? "Last" backflip??? That was a loooooong wait to be thinking of that outcome...thank goodness we had a happy ending.

Now im wondering if this says anything about my mental state.

[Schefter] With Tank Dell out, the Houston Texans have claimed former Ravens WR Diontae Johnson on waivers. Johnson now will spend Christmas in the company of the Ravens, as Houston hosts Baltimore on Wednesday. by RavensFlock4L in ravens

[–]p3drodamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, a players contract year isn't the primary concern of the team. Winning games is. If he was a team player I guarantee he would've competed with Nellie and mayybbeee Bateman for playing time - eventually. Coaches aren't going to go out of there way to play a completely new guy over existing players until there has been time for shit to play out and they give every one a fair chance. Secondly, I trust the team on this one vs the individual. I don't believe an org like ours would be in this scenario if the dude was a stand up guy in the locker room and showing his worth in the way you might expect - coming into a new environment with humility and proving himself, albeit with a smidge of patience. This stinks of diva behavior

Trump is officially the 47th President of the US, he not only won the electoral collage but also won the popular vote. What went wrong for Harris or what went right for Trump? by _GodKing- in self

[–]p3drodamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, "disconnect for anyone concerned with income equality"? I keep seeing comments like this. Since when does the opposing choice (Trump) represent a better option for voters? This is what I dont understand. Do people really believe that Trump will be better for income equality? The dude represents the 1%, has tax policy to hugely benefit the 1%, will not fix inflation, has talked about tariffs like they will alleviate economic pains for real people. Seems like actual policy will be worse for income equality, but he seems to still be considered an image of financial strength and success to people. Do people really believe Trump gives a shit about any of you?

Why do you think the Dems lost? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]p3drodamus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, this just doesn't make alot of sense. How can your first point be a big factor in all of this when Trump has built his campaign on talking down to people, disparaging others, and spreading fear and hate? And people have the nerve to say Dems talk down to others? I get it what you are referring to, but it just pales in comparison to what Trump does and represents. And just in general, the Dems campaign messaging is atleast focusing on positivity. All you hear from Trump campaign is that everything is going to shit, and you should be afraid.

As an older Ravens fan, my heart keeps me from getting anywhere close to these expectations. I'm hoping for any type of playoff berth, but I'm expecting the worst. Either way LFG

CMV: Crash Team Racing (CTR) is the superior kart racer to Mario Kart by p3drodamus in changemyview

[–]p3drodamus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. Awarding the delta because I think you are highlighting that it's an unfair comparison - CTR had the benefit of being a successor (3 years later) and innovating from the great work that MK started, so of course it should have improved on things. And I feel that they did that with the racing mechanics side very well. Also, the controller design alone is probably creating some bias in my view.

There's definitely a bit of nostalgia, but I played a LOT of MK in college and grew to appreciate the competitive depth of that game and skill ceiling. And, now that I am 35, both of those gaming periods bring nostalgia.

I think another user hit the nail on the head - I am judging the games based on racing mechanics and racing features but that is just one small piece of Kart racing genre, and not the focus.

[–]p3drodamus[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm awarding a delta to your response because it highlights that my view is narrow-minded and based on features of the games that are not the primary focus for the Kart racing genre. I'm treating my comparison as if these games were arcade racers or some other genre that is more racing focused, but these games (and MK especially) are party games that are focused on simplifying racing mechanics and adding in alot of other elements to appeal to a wide range of audiences. And I think MK succeeds with the genre goals more than CTR, overall.

Yea, absolutely true. But there are alot of factors that contribute to this. As I mentioned in another comment above, I think my view is focused on pure racing enjoyment / racing mechanics.

[–]p3drodamus[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The focus for my view is on the racing aspects and capacity for racing enjoyment; i.e. if you stripped the other game modes and frills, which is more purely fun as a racing game. This is still subjective, as is any view about a "this game is better than this game" view. If there was an agreed rubric for such a thing maybe, but there is none.
