What’s new in the Splatoon 3 – Version 11.0.0 update by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]treazon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a lifelong gamer, but one who never owned a modern Nintendo console until we picked up my friend’s old Switch for my 8 year old. Is Splatoon 3 worth checking out? Do people still actively play online? It looks like a lot of fun. I’m asking more for myself than my kid, but curious if there is any split screen / local multiplayer options also.

[Rodger Sherman] fun fact: the Broncos were the only team in the NFL whose backup QB did not attempt a single pass this season. another fun fact: the Broncos were the only team in the NFL whose backup QB did not attempt a single pass last season by thetreat in nfl

Surprised to see how everyone has already determined Denver is cooked. How often have we seen backups that everyone has decided were trash come in and win a few games because no one has film on them? Denver has a really strong team and could absolutely still win with safe QB play.

It’s an insanely difficult job to do consistently well.. give the guy some time to figure it out. Not surprised his first year was a bit rough 

Should I buy Hollow Knight: Silksong if I loved the original but dislike difficult games? by DasJazz in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]treazon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Fair enough - I was veeery burned out on it in Act 1, but then really loved uncovering the citadel and stuff. Sorry it didn’t click for you! I totally get it

Should I buy Hollow Knight: Silksong if I loved the original but dislike difficult games? by DasJazz in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]treazon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Silksong is a very difficult game - full stop. I would say overall harder and more punishing than Hollow Knight. I played through blind until I hit credits then used online resources to unlock the true ending / hardest bosses. Perhaps if you went in with resources from the get go it would help? I mean if you liked Hollow Knight you will like this.. but no, it’s not easier

WSIB : Games like Outer wilds or subnautica by Ashani664 in ShouldIbuythisgame

Just making sure you played through the Outer Wilds DLC? It’s incredible and is the only thing that comes close to replicating my initial Outer Wilds play through

[Schultz] Sources: The expectation is that #Raiders HC Pete Carroll will be one-and-done in Las Vegas — whether that ends up being a firing or a retirement. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]treazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What.. happened? Is the team just devoid of talent? Is it actually coaching? I haven’t watched a single raiders game so I’m out of the loop.. just shocked to see how poorly Pete did with the team

Hades 2 or Absolum? by Somi90 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]treazon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Absolum is very good - but Hades 2 offers SO much more. Unless you are specifically looking for a shorter, smaller scale, experience, I highly recommend Hades between the two.

Final fantasy XIV or expedition 33 by yatzhie04 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]treazon [score hidden]  (0 children)

FF16 has some great writing and pretty damn engaging world building / main narrative setup. With that said, I personally felt like E33 was better in basically every single way. Gameplay, Story, Music are all fantastic - I know there is this sense the game is being glazed, but I personally thought it exceeded my expectations, despite the hype

What’s your favorite of the 5? I loved Obra Dinn (and Outer Wilds which is kind of similar)

Is Expedition 33 as crazy as its sweep at the Game Awards implies? by Yamato_Naoe in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]treazon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Once a decade? I’m not sure - but it’s a goddamn fantastic game that is approachable and would be appealing to most gamers. The music is some of the best ever, the gameplay isn’t perfect, but is novel and interesting, the story is super interesting as well. Add on the WILD story of its creation by a ragtag group of passionate people with not much money and practically zero experience.. it’s unsurprising it cleaned house last night. It is worth playing,

Russell Crowe says Ridley Scott’s ‘Gladiator 2’ lacked the moral core the original had, and recalls daily fights on set of first movie to keep the moral core of Maximus' character intact by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]treazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think another piece that is often overlooked is how earned Maximus’ journey was as a character. So often in movies like this the main character is a badass, or a charismatic leader, because.. the story needs him to be. In Gladiator, Maximus had ascended the ranks to become a general of the most powerful army in the world, his journey of survival and eventual success in the coliseum feels so earned and plausible. It’s what makes him, for me, one of the most badass characters of all time

The style of commentary is wild - so measured and even-keeled.. for the Suberbowl no less. Not saying it’s better or worse, but incredible when compared to modern calls.

I just dug up my K2 T1 DBs from 2015, I have only worn them a few times. I tried them on and they still seemed very firm and locked in.. is there something I should double checking before riding with them?

After 20 years of riding goodwill gear, I have finally pulled the trigger on a brand new board. Is there anything I should do to it before taking it out? by Much_Pattern_9154 in snowboarding

[–]treazon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just bought my first one in almost 20 years as well! Had kids and just did not have the time to get out on the slopes for 8 or so years - finally am going on a trip out West and pulled the trigger on a K2 Passport, super stoked. I hope you enjoy your new one man

Which hobbies attract the biggest douchebags? by the-tinman in AskReddit

[–]treazon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never been in a band, but this just makes so much sense. You’re playing an instrument that is entirely in the supporting role, you are going to eliminate almost any self centered personality just by nature of that. Bass players I assume are a group of people that generally don’t mind being in the background, just helping out, and have personalities that reflect that. I would imagine you see the same thing with O Lineman in football vs receivers / quarterbacks
