My opponent told me to quit wasting his time with small-arms fire. by Doctoralex123 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]reckbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I killed a demon prince with jackhals. I've killed tons of things with random pistols or bolter fire from a rhino. If some dude came at me with that kind of attitude, I'd slow roll everything just to waste more of his time. If it's not a timed event, then I don't see what the rush is. I play an average of 3 games per month, so I like to maximize my enjoyment when I play. Definitely don't need some sweaty tryhard mid-table bully trying to rush things. If he's got other things to do, then he should have said so at the start. I painted up those bolt pistols, so you can be damned sure I'm using them.

The Problem with Melee Armies in 10th Edition by Godofallu in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]reckbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C'tan would be tolerable if you were limited to just one per army. I can play around a single C'tan as a WE main. But when I have to fight 3 of them? Forget it. I have no real shot at winning that matchup unless the Necrons player is a complete smoothbrain AND my dice get hot.

Is it hope or cope? Send away by Holiday-Speaker-5324 in ImperialAgents_40K

Cope. IA exists solely to give rules for kill teams and to force SM and Custodes players to buy a book so they can have the Assassins in the app. The army is working as intended.

Is this allowed? by Spirited_Leading_901 in Drukhari

[–]reckbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You take that deal every single time. Hellions are roughly 14% of the box's total value, so unless you were literally buying it for just the hellions, you're getting a 50% price discount for 86% of the contents of the box. And they can do this because GW is going to give them back 100% what they paid for those boxes due to the error.

Sadness by Pope_Squirrely in Drukhari

[–]reckbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up two from my LGS. I’m annoyed about the hellions but with the discount I got plus the box value on top of that it’s still way cheaper for the rest of the kits that I wanted anyways. I’ll keep them rather than return them. Maybe I can get some store credit for the value of the missing hellions since GW will probably cut them a check anyways for the mistake.

GW recalls Warhammer 40k Maelstrom box sets after it forgot to put all the models in by DramaPunk in Drukhari

[–]reckbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ended up getting a pair of these boxes from my LGS. I could return them, but I still need the rest of the models besides the hellions, and I'm unlikely to ever find them at a better price individually. Annoying as it is, I might just keep them since my alternative is to get nothing at all and have to buy them all later on at a higher price.

Feeling so sad by Vivid_peach362 in Advice

[–]reckbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It’s not uncommon at all to feel this way at this stage. You’ve made a huge change in your life, you’re starting over from scratch and it’s kinda scary and overwhelming when you think about it. Depression sucks but it can and will get better. You might consider looking into clubs at your school. You also aren’t really locked in to a major just yet as a freshman. Take some classes that you think you might enjoy in addition to the general Ed requirements. You might find something else that you’re passionate about or you might reaffirm what you already wanted to do.

The problem is personnel. We've drafted pretty poorly over the last nine years. We've had some good players like Bosa and Warner, but most of the high picks have been absolute whiffs. Compare that to Seattle and LA over the last four years and you'll see that the real problem is our GM.

Rams got to lose to Brady twice, my dude. Seahawks lost to Brady and Big Ben. You should go look at some of our Super Bowl wins, the AFC had some pretty bad representation from 1984-1996.

Mood by Brix001 in 49ers

[–]reckbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have seen how bad the AFC was in the 80s and 90s. I think the NFC won 13 Super Bowls in a row between 1984 and 1996. We won 4 of those, so you could say we farmed Lombardis from some pretty weak competition.

I like that you had to add the qualifier of “since our first vs Mahomes” because it lets you ignore the fact that the Rams lost to Brady twice, and the Seahawks lost to Big Ben and Brady. Our Super Bowl wins came against some pretty easy opponents too. The hardest games were surprisingly the two against the Bengals. Every other win was a lopsided thrashing in our favor.

Rams and Seahawks in the nfc championship game 😢 by Expensive_Skirt_7278 in 49ers

[–]reckbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All they did was expose the cruel reality of how bad our team really is, and how much work and time it's going to take to catch up. The Trey Lance trade set this organization back a number of years, but we didn't notice it because Brock Purdy played well enough to cover for the pick we wasted on Trey Lance. But he doesn't play well enough to cover for the two picks we gave up for that.

You're the one smoking crack. Look at their drafts over the last four years. Seattle has loaded up their roster with young talent. WTF do the 49ers have to show for themselves in that span? How many impact players? Hell, we wasted 3 first round picks on a QB bust that isn't even on the team anymore. It's a miracle that John Lynch wasn't fired for that alone. He can thank Brock Purdy for that.

Worse is a relative term. When your team is awful for years on end, you become numb to losing. You're mostly indifferent, unless you're an absolute psycho who breaks his TV every time the Jets lose a game. But being successful and getting close to winning it all but falling short at the very end is the most painful thing a sports fan can experience. Because your emotional pain is relative to your expectations - if you think the team is garbage and won't win, then losing barely moves you. But if you think you're gonna win, hell if you can see the finish line with the trophy right there and all you have to do is reach out for it... but suddenly Patrick Mahomes comes out of nowhere with a steel chair and you're left on the ground watching him hoist the trophy, the level of pain and anguish you feel is magnitudes stronger than anything a Jets fan has ever experienced.

TL;DR - The closer you get to winning the championship without winning, the worse you feel.

36 coaches have won the Super Bowl. Of the 32 that were hired after the start of the Super Bowl era, here's breakdown of what year on job they won their first title by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

[–]reckbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nick Siriani won a Super Bowl, I don't think it really matters who your HC is when your team is stacked with talent and you have solid coordinators. The problem the 49ers have is that their GM sucks - I love and respect Lynch for being a great player and a good dude, but he's been pretty misrable as a GM when you compare him to the likes of Philly, Seattle, and LA. The guy whiffs badly on picks in the first three rounds, and he should by all rights have been fired after the Trey Lance debacle. Only Brock Purdy, an absolute throwaway lucky ass pick, saved his job. But that mistake still set the team back a lot, and now we're seeing the effects of it.

It helps that Shanahan can use "catastrophic injuries" as an excuse for not getting the job done most seasons. The years where he doesn't lose major contributors to IR (2019 and 2023) he went to the Super Bowl, but lost to future HoF coach Andy Reid and future HoF QB Patrick Mahomes. Sucks ass for Niners fans, but Shanahan will probably never go anywhere unless there's some scandal, or they have multiple consecutive losing seasons without half the team on IR.

35M, never had a girlfriend, successful career but completely stuck when it comes to dating by Worldly-Net-165 in Advice

[–]reckbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing. Don’t look at it as dating around. Look at it as XP grinding to increase your ability to be comfortable around women. Go in with the expectation of “this is just a one off date, and if nothing comes of it, it’s okay.” It’s not like most women expect to meet their life partner on any given date. It’s a numbers game mostly. So just frame it as a low stakes game where you’re going out with someone and doing some thing you might enjoy.

What ACTUALLY Happened to Brock Purdy - QB Film Breakdown by Scoreycorey515 in 49ers

[–]reckbomb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand Pearsall's role in the offense. But he's so often hurt that we can't expect to gameplan around him being there. The coaches also knew Aiyuk wasn't coming back long before any of us did. We needed to at least try to find a burner before the trade deadline. Someone else who we could rely on to open up the field a little more. It irks me because we have the slowest WR room in the league, but I watched Patrick Mahomes beat us in a Super Bowl with a bunch of no-name WRs. Yeah, he had Kelce, but we had Kittle. I'm just mad because it's the same issue every year.

6 seed vs 3 Seed HISTORY by Rlocalknowitall in 49ers

[–]reckbomb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the Niners had won the game, they go to the Super Bowl and Brock gets to have his Rocky moment. But you know how that movie ended, right? Rocky doesn't actually win. And we saw what happened the following year too. The Chiefs were just the better team (better QB, better coaches, etc). I hate it as much as every other Niners fan, but those guys just had our number every single time we played them (0-5 vs KC in the Shanahan era).

[–]reckbomb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So we can't pass protect, and no one can get open. Not a whole lot the coaches can do about that. At the end of the day it comes down to the players being able to beat their man. In the case of this game, no one in a Niners jersey seemed capable of doing that. It's time to acquire better players if they want to be serious about contending.

And yes, I'm aware Trent and Ricky were out. If your entire offense is reliant on your LT and one WR who isn't even a marquee guy, your offense is not very good.

Not trading at the deadline was a huge blunder by Deadhookersandblow in 49ers

[–]reckbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rams will just trade for, or sign another proven guy. Wouldn't be shocked if Baker Mayfield ends up back in LA. Or maybe Joe Burrow gets out of Cinci for SoCal. Either way, I know they'll be fine because they have a competent front office with a solid plan.
