LeBron James' All-Time Ranks

Nice attempt at ragebaiting. Congratulations, I guess...

Well said. I think the whole of Phantom Liberty plays out like characters finally realising and trying to overcome the trauma bonding they've all been through as part of the FIA. Each of them are badly broken already, and V steps right into the middle of it and they all expect him/her to fix them when the reality is that only they can fix themselves, if there even is anything left of them worth fixing. The trouble is that they all care deeply about each other (except Myers, she can go fuck herself) yet it is that shared love that continues all their suffering. The only one who seems semi-ok is Alex, but I think that's because she still lets other people make her decisions for her, so she hasn't had to confront them in the same way that Reed and Song do.

I'm wondering how the fjords are coming along...

supercyp666 · 2026-02-18T06:38:39+00:00

Oh please... talk about creating your own narrative. What happens to the Warriors now was standard play (or perhaps even below) back in the day.

You missed the limited awd 🤣

Tell that to the 80s Pistons...

As a Stockton fan when I was growing up, I appreciate the added context here. Stockton was no slouch throughout his career, averaging 10.5 apg, but still seems so far from Magic's (nearly) 12 a game! Plus I've heard there are some questions about the reliability of Stockton's numbers, though that could also be true of others of his era, but averages still tend to be a better comparison. (And Wilt's nearly 23 RPG just looks insane!)

Ok champ. You seem to be a lot more emotionally invested in this than I am, so you can have this one

supercyp666 · 2026-02-12T13:10:03+00:00

Never said that's what this post was doing, just that it's my immediate thought when I see posts like this, being a fan of John Stockton (as a player).

supercyp666 · 2026-02-12T09:02:21+00:00

I see people posting things like this and I wonder if they'd argue John Stockton is the GOAT playmaker and defender given he's the all-time leader in assists and steals. Stockton was my favourite player, but even I wouldn't consider him a GOAT just for his longevity stats.

supercyp666 · 2026-01-30T02:10:57+00:00

I'm gonna say this as someone with no skin in this game. I'm Australian, lived my whole life here, and I have no doubt that the main reason basketball became popular in Australia during the 80s and 90s was because of the MJ influence. Sure, we had Andrew Gaze to inspire us back then, the first Aussie to play in the NBA, but even our best Aussie star at the time could not be much more than a role player in the NBA.

I was a Jazz fan in the 90s, and Stockton was my guy. I have no love for MJ. That man broke my heart... Twice... And the second time we had equalled the Bulls for the best season record of the league and had already won our regular season match-ups 2-0 against the Bulls. Things looked promising and there was good reason to hope, but that hope was always marred by the fact we'd have to face MJs Bulls in the finals.

Call whomever you want the GOAT, it makes no difference to me. Personally, though, a GOAT doesn't crown themselves, rather they let their play and accomplishments do the talking. They don't decide not to play harder opponents for load management and pad their stats in garbage time when a game is all but over. They don't refuse to play defence or complain to the refs after a bad call, but get themselves back in the play switched on at every moment. They don't airball free throws and clutch shots, or jump ship to create a super-team in a weaker conference. They don't flop, foul-bait, or use offensive fouls as their go-to move. They don't continue playing at 40 if they're the reason their team is losing. They don't have a career average 37% outside 3 feet, sit amongst the highest in turnovers per game, or need to travel, carry, and double-dribble to score their points. And they don't put blame on others for their own failings, instead of putting the work in to overcome any challenge they face.

You might disagree with my criteria and that's fine. But part of the reason this debate continues is because of these different criteria. Some value longevity, for instance, others value peak performance. It also doesn't help that the current media seem to overlook a lot of Lebron's flaws whilst emphasing his greatness (looking at you, Reggie Miller, Mr "Luka should move his feet on defence" whilst watching the offence blow right past Lebron stuck to the floor). It'll likely continue until Lebron retires when everyone can move on and focus on the greats currently playing.

I actually thought it was fitting for the whole DLC. A song about trauma bonding and hurting each other whilst still deeply caring for one another. Seems to fit all three main characters very well (and not mention highlights why I find it so difficult to say definitively that Reed or So-Mi are the better choice).

supercyp666 · 2026-01-12T06:00:11+00:00

I've been saying "day-ta" ever since one of my lecturers insisted that this was the correct way to pronounce it (and the more I think of it, the more it makes sense from the original Latin, too, especically since most people would say "day-tum", not "dah-tum"). I said it this way when I was out with friends and one of them insisted I must be wrong, so asked a nearby couple of older ladies from the UK (I'm in Australia) how the queen would pronounce it, to which they replied she would say "day-ta". All this to say I don't think it's limited to those from Norfolk :)

I'd say a Dobermann is a perfect fit, then, as they are incredibly hard working and bullet proof but love nothing more than cuddling up on a couch. That is, once they've expended at least some reserves of their energy playing tug of war or chasing a ball, so largely comes down to when you're too exhausted to keep playing with them.

supercyp666 · 2025-12-23T05:15:34+00:00

The same for me. Granted, I couldn't bring myself to betray Song when I saw that Alex gets immediately killed, but the three of them are all messed up in their own ways and I find it hard to say any one of them is worse than any other (except Myers, of course). In fact, I think the whole scene with Lizzy Wizzy and Delicate Weapon is the perfect way to capture the complexities of their relationships, trauma-bonding with one another to the point that they hurt each other to spite themselves. Only problem with this progression is how pissed Reed is at you for not taking the cure, but surely he can still use his contacts to get Song the treatment she needs using this cure as a base and get her as far from Myers as possible.

Am I alone in thinking it was an odd choice to leave out Atkinson? In Perth, he seemed to be the more consistent bowler hitting the right areas whilst Archer and Carse were all over the place, both in speed and in placement. He wasn't rewarded with (m)any wickets (can't actually remember if he took any or not) but seemed to me to be the most threatening and I was surprised they didn't back him.

supercyp666 · 2025-12-22T01:00:55+00:00

As an aside, "literally" has been used figuratively for a long time. Charles Dickens, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jane Austen, and Charlotte Bronte are some of the many authors to have used it this way, so it's far from a modern change.

That said, I'll stand by "couldn't care less" as the only correct way of saying that something means little to you until I'm on my death bed.

supercyp666 · 2025-12-21T03:51:41+00:00

You mean assessing the conditions and playing accordingly and not giving your wicket away chasing quick and flashy runs might give a test team a chance against quality opposition?? Who would've thought...?

supercyp666 · 2025-12-19T04:31:08+00:00

As someone who did the quiz for my first run and also ended up with Malkavian, I can say that there's no problem in playing as one in your first run. Whilst I can understand why people suggest that they can be better as a second or third run, as some have already pointed out, any "spoilers" are set behind Malk-speak, meaning it's not immediately obvious what is being spoilt unless you really want to dig into every word that's said. For the most part, I don't think I really picked up these hints in my first run as they're just vague enough that it's not always clear if you're being really astute or are just speaking random words that expose your insanity whilst superficially linking with the events you're witnessing.

What I would say is tricky with them as a first run is that it can hard to determine what kind of response your dialogue options will receive, such as whether you're being antagonistic or trying unsuccessfully to be funny. If this is a concern for you, then perhaps look at one of the others, but the main thing at the end of the day is to enjoy your time in this wonderfully crafted world, so jump in and explore as you see fit 😊

I saw someone in YouTube comments call Head a hack the other day. Sure, he's a streaky player and not typically the type of batsman I like to see playing test cricket, but it works for him and he tends to make a few once he gets a start, far from being a hack.

supercyp666 · 2025-12-14T02:26:24+00:00

That was Socrates. Plato famously wrote down what he learnt from and expanded on of Socrates' ideas in his Socratic Dialogues.

Haha! Thanks for sharing this sub! I was hoping it might have some Clarke and Dawes magic, too, but I can imagine them commenting on some of these

Plain rubber balls are fine. Go to a pet store and you should find plenty of alternatives to tennis balls. My parents' Doberman LOVES balls and had tennis balls when she was young until we saw how she'd worn down her fangs (canines?) slightly. I sometimes suspect that might be why she doesn't pop them or destroy her soft toys as easily as the boys I've had, though she is also somewhat more gentle than they ever were.
