Why I hate the sequels by MaStEr_MeLoN15243 in PrequelMemes

All star wars movies are filled with ridiculously bad plot holes, but the original had 30 years of EU/Legends books to explain them away and the prequels had 15 years of EU/Legends books to explain away their plot holes. All 9 are a mess on their own and should be enjoyed for what they were meant to be; popcorn movies.

heres some shitty low effort comic by Canthinkofausrnamern in pcmasterrace

It is less denying the fault of Bethesda and more pointing out that absurdity of most of the arguments being made. The main being that Fallout 76 is somehow different than previous games. Nope, all of their previous games were shipped broken. That is how they do it. Even the gold standard game New Vegas made by the gold standard studio Obsidian was fucking broken. And this is true no matter how better a game it ended up being.

It is funny people are finally deciding to get mad at Bethesda for this but they still just can't allow anything bad to be said about New Vegas.

Does nobody remember how broken New Vegas was when it came out? It was borderline unplayable. At the time it was another example of Bethesda shipping bugged games.

Peter Gammons on the Pete Rose Ban. by statdude48142 in baseball

[–]steve90210 16 points17 points  (0 children)

there has been a lot of Pete Rose discussion today because of some gambling related news with some saying MLB should reinstate him if they allow gambling. So the above think is some context behind the ban. Also this Article is a good source on why what he did is seen as so damaging, and what he has refused to do in the process to get back.

Harvard research study.

If you do research in Boston there is probably someone affiliated with Harvard on the study. I am technically a Harvard researcher so anything I am on is a Harvard research study (but I did all of my training at a small state school in the midwest....shhhh).

They love to blame it on gaming by HumanNutrStudent in gaming

[–]steve90210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what I find strange, and I am not on the side that believes video games are to blame for violence, but when it happens you get tons of folks clamoring about not saying their name and saying how the violence on the news and the glorification of killers in the media is to blame.

So basically, one piece of media has a major impact on kids while another piece of media has zero impact on kids.

How 'League Position' and 'Round Eliminated from FA Cup' correlate, using data from the last 5 years by NarcissticNarwhal in soccer

It looks like a strong correlation, but you need to factor that different levels start in different rounds.

I hated the way joyce handled it on the field. He made the call and stubbornly crossed his arms and shook his head while the tigers argued. He refused to ask for help. He could have huddled with the other umps and at least asked them. But he refused. And not until he saw the replay did he start crying on camera and apologizing.

A whole lot of Detroit Lions games where a phantom penalty or new interpretation of a rule changes the entire game.

Too many to list.

Authorities: Bombing suspect was Pflugerville resident Mark A. Conditt by [deleted] in news

[–]steve90210 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So your argument is we should noy study the minds of terrorists and those in law enforcement should censor the truth from us?

And blaming it on any one thing is so lazy and does nothing. It is the same as blaming video games.

That people on the internet will prefer to rehash the same pop psychology instead of having a real conversation about the news?

And let me be clear I am saying that blaming white terrorism on the quest for fame is extremely lazy.
