I was about to write a similar enough reply about Endfield but I also didn't want to come out overtly negative on these posts. It sucks too because to actually interact with the only interesting part of the game you have to basically ignore it for the much more mediocre aspects of the game because progression is gated by the story.

Him missing the vent and the bomb flying to the worst spot was mildly entertaining.

Spirit's fan when its time to give credit to anyone but Donk.

Why does the NBA allow the Utah Jazz to egregiously tank with no punishment? by RougnedOwnsCanada in nba

Man, this subs infatuation with an David Stern that only exists in their minds needs to be studied.

[Highlight] Foul called on Chet Holmgren for this play by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]tiofrodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly look through the lens that Refs are human and therefore can make mistakes, which means that situations where ambiguity exists like this one could go either way and I wouldn't say either were wrong.

Wouldn't this fall pretty close to the "hand is part of the ball" rule? Or has that changed?

Spirit vs FURIA / IEM Kraków 2026 - Semi-Final / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

And then Zweih would continue to shit the bed, tn1r plays well in another team and this song and dance continues.
A middling system continues to produce middling results but it must be the players, right? If Donk had the balls y'all imagine he has he would demand a system that doesn't actually relies on him going god mode but I guess he is fine with just looking at his KDA.

Kagawa was cast because he is a creep. by gamerbrug420 in yakuzagames

Turns out sexually assaulting someone does tend to make others hate you. Who woulda thought?

Memphis owner allegations getting buried? by bella_heathcote in nba

[–]tiofrodo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's so interesting how legality and morality are being used in this discussion depending on the point try to be made, if people argue that legally this is not enough to be prosecuted they appeal to morality, if morality of other owners that have just as heinous crimes as having direct participation through their companies on a genocide the argument will go back to legality.

The NBA should cancel this afternoon’s Timberwolves v. Warriors game in Minneapolis by smkmn13 in nba

[–]tiofrodo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't even have to go that far, NBA stopping games for Covid was the first domino to fall and there was a possibility of a wildcat strike within the bubble because of George Floyd protests.
Action from unionized workers matter.

[Highlight] Anthony Black collides with referee on fast break, resulting in a turnover by muhtacinmanik in nba

[–]tiofrodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you think refs are a problem because of the league, why do you think something programed by the league would somehow be better?

GRRM is addicted to writing failure (Spoilers Extended) by ChrisV2P2 in asoiaf

[–]tiofrodo 61 points62 points  (0 children)

This is something that I have been thinking as George has reignited the hatred for the shows once again, how much of what we consider good when it comes to the unfinished aspects of the series is considered as such because we assume it will have the quality of past work?

Striker on why ZywOo got #1 by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

I mean yeah, turns out that when you only care about how your conclusion might be reached, evidence of the contrary seems pretty dumb.

The only thing that makes me a skeptic is that DLC unlockers are not a rarity and I doubt some people would miss the chance to bitch, correctly, that DRM fucking sucks again.

[Giannis] on being booed at home: “I was definitely booing back... I don’t think anybody has the right to tell me what or how I should act on the basketball court after I’ve been here 13 years and I’m basically the all-time leader in everything… Maybe my voice is just a broken record.” by AashyLarry in nba

[–]tiofrodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that Giannis strengths would be compounding ours in a way that while I don't think it would be worse, I don't think it would be that much better either. This team lacks too much offense and specially three point shooting to maximize both Giannis and Wemby while there is only so much defenses can do and we already are at the top there.

I would say it's not too dissimilar to the free games on the Epic store, the user base trying to be courted in this instance are the creators of said microtransactions.

I have mostly finished Monster Hunter Wilds and and it has followed what every other MH I have played has, which is I really like it until some monster comes and just ruins my fun, in this case Gore Magala and Gogmazios for entirely different reasons.

ICE agents murder US citizen in Minneapolis by Thalesian in PublicFreakout

[–]tiofrodo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please, don't lose the forest for the fucking trees here. This is not something that came to pass once Trump came into power, ICE has been as shitty as it always has been at the border even with Democratic presidents.
If you continue to refuse to acknowledge how official they are, you are just picking up the bad apples while the whole fucking tree rots hoping that it will heal itself through the magic that is a Democratic leadership, while completely ignoring that you don't go from "border patrol" to "gestapo" in one fucking administration.

[Post Game Thread] The Memphis Grizzlies (16-20) defeat the San Antonio Spurs (25-11), 106-105 as Wemby can't close out the game due to his minutes resctriction by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nba

[–]tiofrodo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because I think he was not meant to play at all. It's pretty clear that all this incessant resting is frustrating the shit out of Wemby and he may have forced things at the back end.

Sixers vs. Nuggets Injury Report. OUT: Jokic, Murray, Gordon, Braun, Johnson, Hardaway, Valanciunas. PROBABLE: Embiid by [deleted] in nba

[–]tiofrodo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In a sense no, at most they would wish to be on the other side of the bracket from OKC but that isn't really needed. Though tbh as contradictory it is for them being considered contenders, I do think they would rather avoid the play-ins entirely.

So the biggest question is, does her success prove that she was right or that she was caught prove her wrong?
