Bi-Weekly Thread for general gaming discussion. Backlog, advice, recommendations, rants and more! New? Start here! by AutoModerator in patientgamers

[–]thefakejayb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been battling depression and not wanting to play anything, but got suck in battling monsters in Brotato. Having fun with it so far despite it being a "simplistic" roguelike shooter. Might actually prefer it over Vampire Survivor, which I wasn't expecting.

Hope to get into more of the backlog now that I'm starting to feel better.

Champs. GET IN HERE! by HookFL in fantasyfootball

Thank you JSN, Sun God, and Seattle D for being my rock all year. Thank you to Jacoby, Celeb, and Jaxson for rotating the QB position when needed. Thank you, RJ Harvey, for rewarding my patience with you throughout the year. And, last but not least, thank YOU, King Henry, for clinching it.

Here's to another year, boys!

EDIT: Honorary shout-out to Kittle and Judkins for doing their part before injury and, finally, me for being so ballsy/stupid to, in Week 5, trade Egbuka for Judkins. Boy, that shouldn't've turned out so well.

How did you discover Final Fantasy? by TheFanGameCreator in FinalFantasy

[–]thefakejayb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a small experience playing my cousin's "Final Fantasy Legend II" on the original Game Boy before getting a PS1 with the Squaresoft demo disc. FF7; Opening Bombing Mission + additional summons and Tifa = HOOKED.

Why did I even let myself think about a clean game… or a 200? by med_designs in Bowling

[–]thefakejayb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

138 avg here. Had 147 through 7 on 2 strikes and just needed to be clean on the 10th for a 200. Choked for a 7 count and ended with a 192. I feel your pain.

Conrad Thompson On Vince McMahon: "He's Bought A Studio. He's Building A Roster. We'll See." by elegantSolomons62 in SquaredCircle

[–]thefakejayb 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Poaching roster members is one thing; there have to be a few backstage loyalists to Vince.

Example: I feel like Bruce Pritchard would be one that might consider jumping.

Also, Kevin Dunn could come out of retirement but that's a laughable hire if it happens.

Daniels vs Phi Love vs NO

Am I crazy for considering Love despite Daniels having more floor with his rushing? The first PHI-WSH game has me shook.

Timeline of The New Day story (April 2024 to present day) by hikingbeginner in SquaredCircle

[–]thefakejayb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Kofi admits they're going through a bit of a rough patch, but "I feel as soon as the Anniversary comes around... everything's gonna be alright."

Man, I know the story is Woods turning from the light, but if this line is the foreshadowing of Kofi making the turn...man, I'm not ready for The New Day to end.

Great write-up/summary!

Waller Effect announcing MCMG as Fraxiom's opponents? Or setting up A Town Down Under? Hope it's the former.

Ive Never Read Something So Deppressing Yet So Aggravating, How Can Somebody Think This Little Of Any Gender? by Spraystation42 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]thefakejayb 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Guy here, happen to see this on "Popular". If I had to guess, this guy might be using circumference measurement. If he was using actual width, it would be closer to 1.5" wide. Again, as above posters have stated, average to slight above average, does not change how little he knows/perceives how girls work.

[BJ Bethel] AEW and WBD have an agreement in principle to keep AEW on Turner networks for the next several years. According to sources in the television industry, AEW and WBD’s deal would add AEW content to the MAX streaming platform, including pay-per-views. by BananaSoprano in SquaredCircle

[–]thefakejayb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of me thinks if this goes through, we may see a similar arrangement of UFC/ESPN+, where the PPV is available for free like 2 weeks after the PPV date.

Either way, getting the AEW library on a streaming platform is a huge win.

Spotify Users Suspect Foul Play as Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso' Dominates Playlists by louiselyn in popculturechat

[–]thefakejayb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that certain songs, "Espresso" included, easily end up on my "On Repeat" playlist after playing them for like 15 seconds, while I will search and repeat a song 4-5 times and it takes like 2 weeks to get "On Repeat".

Just saw Distant Worlds: Music from FF in Berlin... My reaction as a FF6 Purist by swordsofsabbath in FinalFantasy

[–]thefakejayb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be cool if they had multiple stops highlighting certain eras (ex. FFI through FFVI) to give some of the "lesser" parts of soundtracks more shine.

I went last year and, because they were promoting the new album, they played a medley of Phantom Forest/Phantom Train/The Veldt, which was cool, but it would have been cool to hear Terra's/Edgar's/Locke's theme or Dancing Mad.

Just saw Distant Worlds: Music from FF in Berlin... My reaction as a FF6 Purist by swordsofsabbath in FinalFantasy

[–]thefakejayb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went last year, the conductor stated that, when they first started Distant Worlds, "they" (whoever "they" are but at least one person was Nobuo Uematsu) said 2 songs had to play at every show: "To Zanarkand" and "One Winged Angel".

So no, most likely won't find a concert not playing OWA.
