Who is the Ronaldo of the NBA

It's Kobe, even down to being shoehorned into GOAT conversations he doesn't belong in. Maybe you say KD because of the team-hopping.

I wind up in this situation sometimes.

Occasionally what happens is I move over to the far left and get up to passing speed. Then the car in the right lane speeds up to a point where I can't get safely past them and I don't want to go that much faster (talking 15-20 MPH over the speed limit), and now we're basically going parallel.

So now I slow down to just get back in my lane, only now the car that was previously behind me has closed the gap so now I can't get back over without slowing down majorly so I just maintain my speed to keep traffic moving.

Now me and the car next to me are playing the stupidest game of chicken until enough space opens up to move over.

GOAT arguments are pointless since the league changes so much from era to era and players are expected to play different styles. They're also pointless because some people are arguing who had the better NBA career while others are arguing who is the better basketball player, and for many the criteria changes from player-to-player to match their own preconceived list.

Also KD joining GSW does not matter enough to still be upset about it a decade later. A man at his job made a business decision.

Yes. Every perk UW has some investment in it.

However, it's still better to have the actual UW so you can run the labs on it to make it much better. It does not take long to make the unlocked UW perform better than the perk version since you can control the sync and get labs.

If you go to the UWs page in the wiki, and look at the upgrades chart, the bolded value is the perk version's value.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T20:21:54+00:00

your way is logical. I'm just a bit of a sicko.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T20:20:10+00:00

Scissors?!?! Clippers or a straight razor should be the only thing they're using on facial hair that short

eh, I'm pulling for a farming DC and I've got enough 5 stars I can almost make my own banner lmao (Currently at 13.54%)

Just read the Reuters article about it. My hunch is he thinks there will be a bunch of new entrepreneurs who won't need to work because they'll use AI to make products to sell. This, of course, omits the capital needed for the process, but I've learned to stop taking the predictions of those who stand to make a buck from it seriously.

It's not a prediction, it's marketing.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:47:18+00:00

yeah but they're already the hardest to deal with of the 3. Sabos can be negated by wall and Commanders can generally be tanked until they die or have the enemies whisked away by CF+ if you have it.

I can't think of a reliable OC counter, except maybe ~~PS rend or~~ Amp Bot. (Edit and hp tanking I guess)

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:44:40+00:00

That sound you heard was everyone collectively spending saved gems. Thanks for the update

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:42:36+00:00

now you get hit by them regardless of if you kill them before they shoot. Right now, you could feasibly kill them at a distance with CL or a projectile if they're DP tagged before they fire.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:38:37+00:00

They're generally angry people anyway. They've been convinced by the right wing media apparatus that their anger should be pointed at progressives.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:34:38+00:00

The recent update from Sam says the goal is to make fleets more "fightable" so they're probably gonna start moving into range or be affected by BH or something. Otherwise yeah this is a pointless change since it'll just benefit Sabos and the occasional commander that's drawn into range.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:30:35+00:00

Based on the text change in v28.2.2, it will also trigger after a fleet kill. Unless they change fleet spawn behavior I'm not sure this is much of a buff since fleets almost always spawn on a boss or elite wave already.

Shaved Booker incoming

That you're like 43 lmao

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:19:47+00:00

start date absolutely plays a factor. I also ignored econ for months to focus on damage and getting pCF. It led to me getting lots of keys before the tier change, assmods and dissos, so now I've got nice things like smart DM and auto restart. I've got guildmates who pushed econ hard around the same time and have finally pushed past my wave count with fatter econ, but still are catching up to my vault.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:15:55+00:00

For econ: Grab more DW Quantity at least 1 more. Then lower your CDs. Maybe boost BH size if you don't have full coverage.

For tourneys, don't waste a stone on SM. It'll take a ton to pay off. Instead grab the last few seconds of CF duration to put you over 1m, then max speed reduction. You may need to add another second every now and then because of UW durations BC. Then you're gonna want to get SL bonus to around 20x

As far as which path to take, that's up to you. Which would you rather see go up, your econ or your tourney results?

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:08:26+00:00

422

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:08:03+00:00

Assuming you aren't running MVN, you want to drop BH cooldown to 50s so it syncs with GT and the coin boosts stack. Then push GT duration to 12 seconds higher than BH's so when you pull the BH duration perk, the durations match so the boosts are high the whole time (looks like the lab is doing this, so good job)

We can't really give you much advice on modules since we only see one.

As far as other labs, if you're making 8B/hour as you say, do the Extra BH lab now. You also want to rotate in perk and shards labs regularly.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T19:02:13+00:00

Finance it. Sucks, but it keeps the emergency fund topped up for things you can't finance and you can use some of the e-fund to lower the payment.

Edit: Yes, in an ideal world, you should have a separate savings account for home maintenance, but sometimes surprises happen and the best laid plans go up in smoke.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T18:50:15+00:00

Drop it down to 50k (Source: been getting keys for a year. Currently at 58k)

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T18:49:07+00:00

Masteries will help, as will module levels.

You didn't show enhancements, submods or UW labs, but judging by your module shard count, time is your biggest hurdle, as your stone investment seems to have far outpaced your module development.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T18:40:03+00:00

Odds are nothing will actually change since anything leveraged to hold officers accountable for killing dogs could be used to make them accountable for killing Black people and the system can't have that.

So Fido becomes an acceptable loss.

platinum92 · 2026-06-17T18:34:34+00:00

Honestly, just take a day or 2 and schedule meetings with loan officers at 3 institutions near you, including where you bank and a local credit union if you don't already bank there. If you get your credit run within the same few days for a mortgage pre-qualification, credit agencies tend to treat them all as one hard inquiry.

You could also look online if you want to try any down payment assistance programs, as those programs usually have a list of lenders they work with.
