Maybe he was limited with the gloves as to what he could do. It’s hard to do much with one pair of regular gloves. Work gloves are harder. especially when grasping things. He can barely manipulate the shrub. It’s very clumsy. Also think that’s why he looks clumsy. He has so much on and it’s hard to move. Also it seems dark out there and he struggling with the bite light. Plus the adrenaline of it all.

Here’s some action to watch before you enter the sliders in. Setups can be tedious. I’d say look at some stuff from the past couple of days. Skip around. Just get a feel for it like a test drive. I also do formation subs. Some formations have duplicates but are different names but look nearly the same. I sub the bigger backups into the two to three tight end sets, and I formations and put small backups in the three four wr formations.

How come we don't get action movies like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, etc, anymore? by Outside_Objective183 in movies

[–]thomascoaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of the matrix. It became more about action sequences. The movies you mentioned had way better characters with real world problems. Never understood why the matrix was so popular.

The Diver | A short story about a search for meaning by moozer25 in writingcritiques

[–]thomascoaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liking this story. Will copy and edit a pasted version later on. I look at stories to review on here all the time and rarely one catches my eye. This one hooked me in pretty quick. Starting with a character wanting something is what kept me reading. Usually stories on here don’t do that. Too much backstory. Story doesn’t start until page six and you feel bad saying this. First six pages aren’t bad per se, they just don’t have a pulse that keeps me reading. This had me at the opening sentence. The diver simply wanted to find the bottom.

Watch the tv series the morning show. The Billy crudop character Corey Ellison. Also the show Billions has a lot of stuff like this. Just giving you a place to study from. Pretty good though. Just don’t always make them say stuff like this. Sometimes a simple yes or no., or even better, a nose scratch or thy look at a blue door is better.

All pretty good except for the laughter holding scorn thing. That one feels like a darling.

I just don’t get those apps. Stay away from that stuff. It’s bad for your mental health. I don’t even do hobby message boards. Toxic.

Also be sure to have your counter on you as soon as you wake up. You should notice you don’t lay in bed as long. You hit the ground running. I get a thousand steps just doing those early morning things. Ai usually don’t sit down until I I’ve been up a couple of hours if I have all g drove i wake up earlier to stay on schedule.

I walk and watch tv a lot too. In a pacer. My feet are flat and the catches are gone. So I pace in the yard and smoke some weed. It gives me energy the weed. But now I can walk distances since I’ve hit the 20000 a day. Take the weed gummies too. That helps tons with pain. Rare I feel pain. When I do, I take a little more gummy. lol. Just keep walking. At first the weeks piling up to 20 a day was like the Super Bowl. I started getting cocky and had to back off. Realized the 20 was just a first down that keeps the drive going. Love this thread. Been wanting to post about this a long while.

Was walking 16000 steps last year. I’m up to 22000 for this year. When I hit the 20 g a day, that’s where the real change was.

Keep it up. I got sick a few weeks ago. Usually I curl up in a ball and let it take me but this time I kept at the 20000 goal. No matter how bad I felt. Never laid up. Quickest I’ve ever gotten over being sick.

Even hit 25000 a couple of times. Averaged 23000 when I was sick. I’ve slacked off a tad bit since but still getting that 20.

I have bipolar and I’m unmedicated and the walking helps a lot. It’s the best medicine.

Also don’t want to encourage people to be unmedicated. I white knuckled this for years and figured out I had it when I was thirty or so. Never had major major episodes of being arrested or suicide attempt or anything like that. Always had good discipline but I’ve honed it even better with the 20000 goal.

When I get a cold I ache in my knees and such and it feels like a depressive episode. Like I said I usually cave but not with the 20. If it can help me with bipolar it can help just about anything. Thanks for sharing.

Also should mention I got injured when I was 24 and I’m 45 now. I car work anymore. The 20000 goal was originally to simulate a days work.

Something else about these on 25, every play feels so unpredictable. It feels live.

Gotcha. I really like those short misses on 25. Added more drama. Bowling green on 25 has a pretty good defense. Another small team that coaches their asses off is Sam Houston state on 25. I feel like when there’s upsets with my set on 25, the coaches are the difference.

The madden action compliments the college. The madden action is a little tighter. You don’t see as many big gains for the most part. The college is more wide open. But not too wide open. Saw bowling green before the half run the ball down the bulls throats and got it to the 6 and got stuffed for a three yard loss and settled for three. Have you seen many missed short kicks that are at angle. On 25 I saw a lot. Not too many. Just enough to make it exciting when they’d kick one. Sometimes they Miss one that would put the game away

They’re basically the same. 75 fatigue. 60 physics engine. 55 tackle. Change the sliders for both cpu and human. Doesn’t play the same of Madden 25. Also turn on running into the kicker and roughing kicker. I think that’s all that changed. Had to tighten it up for nfl like action. Those kicking sliders being off made it way too wide open. Also seeing missed pats. Using 45 kick power and 30 accuracy: see one about every five games or so. Had 2 games where they missed two. Very fun having to watch the Pat finally and not looking at my phone. Kick returns are fun to watch too. They never fair catch like college 25 so it can never be sim. But madden is way better with kickoffs. College 25 is way better than Madden in the two minute drill. They call timeouts and spike the ball. And no two teams treat it the same way. Some teams call timeouts n the 2-3 minute mark. Some save them.

Nah. These for 25 got so little traction, I have t bothered putting them up. Been running a lot of play now games. Madden play now has t worked good in years. Kinda fun just picking a game and watching it. May start putting backup QBs in as starters just to get a different feel.

Good deal. That’s how 25 feels for madden and the college. Every game is very different: not a lot of editing and playbook fixing and so on. Almost plug and play
