    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Similar in some ways (ignoring that its soccer for the moment) but still way more drawn out. That guy collapsed much more slowly and was on hands and knees for a bit before laying flat and croaking. Damar literally stood up, took one step, and completely collapsed. Still an absurdly rare to...

    A couple years ago, that would have mattered to me. In current year, not so much.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Possible, yes. Never denied that. But statistical likelyhood is an entirely different matter. This could be the first time unicorn event, but as I said I am very skeptical. Brahma's list is far more plausable than the odds of that hit setting off a cardiac shutdown. And I say this as...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Those are also more plausible than a simple one in a million freak impact, as well as having the virtue of having actually occurred before. Roids I would be somewhat skeptical on, given he was a a DB. But also consider how much cocaine 90s era FB players were on (and roids too in many cases)...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Because hits like that (and much worse ones) happen routinely literally thousands of times a year across many sports (go watch a Rugby game some time). Its not impossible, but it is a statistical unicorn compared to the odds that something else was messing with his cardiovascular system prior...

    @Kaines Sure we can. As soon as all the stupid woke slogans get yanked off the helmets and fields, plus all the fucking kneeling type horse shit stops. The core fan base are not the ones who put political shit into the game and you can bet your ass the left is going to find a way to leverage...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Soccer players have been keeling over for a while now, but no one in the US gives one shit about soccer. Having some young healthy guy keel over on a nationally televised football game when people are already starting to question the vax shit? Yeah even if its not the vax, their propaganda arm...

    Underrated/Overrated Video Games

    Underrated: Oni was an awesome blend of 3rd person brawler and shooter with great gameplay for its time. Shogo was arguably one of the best story driven mech games ever made with a strong anime influence. Beyond Good and Evil falls into the same category. For us really old farts, Star Flight...

    Supposedly scaling is busted on archers, so you see this monster attack value (my version of Arycele is sitting at around 1300) but its like you are fighting shit ten levels or more higher and all damage is practically chip damage. Guaranteed charm is ok, if you prefer that to Petrify to CC...

    There are some pretty decent fan mods that do this or even have a whole new story for the steam version of the game. The PSP version of Tactics Ogre had mods out for it that really made it the best version of the game out there (One Vision mod). If you have the setup, I highly recommend them...

    On the one hand Ambiturner loves going all in on stupid shit, but on the other hand this has to be the weirdest white knight derail I have seen you do. Either case, you two fighting is way better entertainment than everything that happened after the Tua meltdown in the NFL, so credit where it...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    PS- Also agree with Raj that Samurai is the best starting class, outside of specific playstyles. You are literally given every tool in the toolbox, aside from magic which you can level into later if you want. You can even be dual wielding katanas ten minutes in, if that is your jam. They only...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    There is something very cathartic about going 2h unga bunga and From seems to be forever buffing that playstyle. Issue is that MLGS is already pretty much one of the top end 2h (and goes with a sorc build) and the playstyle gets pretty stale after a while. Worth one run just to facetank smash...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Combination of LinkedIn and Indeed has been the best resource for me of late, but honestly if your resume is solid get it to a contract house you like and let them run with it if you can. K-Force has been pretty good for me in recent years on that front.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Not really. IT people, real IT people who do day to day keep the lights on work, are always the last to get cut when that axe starts falling. They might clip some deadweight contractors, but companies can hardly fill the roles they want now with the current labor pool. Now I work for an...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Int casters are ez mode if you use the trap to go get the grav staff and the boulder spell near it. You can ride that combo for practically half the game and its way less farming and stat intensive than just about any mele build. I was genuinely shocked at how much easier being a caster was in...

    PS- I guess you are right. That screen shot might be from a test map that did not make the final product, which was common back then. The original Tactics Ogre back art and instructions had similar screencaps (and said maps were later worked into the 2010 remake as levels in POTD iirc). The...

    JRPGs

    Tactics Ogre came out in 1995. So I guess not quite 30 years. First game in the series is 30+ at this point. As for Revenent Wings, its basically sort of like the Vincent spinoff. You might like it, but many did not and it was not well received. Very popular with its niche crowd, though.

    I would not count on the KKK (Kathleen Kenedy Klan) adhering to any cannon Filoni came up with in Rebels. In fact she is the kind of cunt who will go our her way to shit on things he created. As such, I don't think anything in Rebels will impact whatever direction they go with Mothma.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    For all the talk of how obtuse FROM quests and NPCs can be, you actually had some decent and engaging stories with a number of them in this game. By the end, all that are left are the spirit tuner, maybe Ranni, and the blacksmith who loses his marbles. Very depressing when you actually think...

    Thats just a shitty screen cap (or maybe mid casting lighting from an animation, the test shots had characters with summons ect you ordinarily could not have). Thats the reverse angle of the front rim of the fort exterior. I have a lot of fond memories of FFT, despite my strong opinion that...

    Deneb was a slog, but not as many dragons needed and the Relic grind is about the same as the glass pumpkin one was. Upside is the dragons can all be nabbed early and auctioning them is useful for both money and crafting. Getting Cressida is still bullshit incarnate, though. Deneb is at least...

    If you really want to get nerdy, light is more of a directed energy medium and plasma/blasters are basically pockets of ionized gas accelerated by a magnetic bottle in the firing weapon. Anything laser will be more accurate, fast, and precise, while plasma weapons tend to be low velocity and...

    FWIW Matt Flynn would have probably been a starter nearly anywhere else at that time (Dude set records as a backup that are still in there) but we had Rodgers, so he was out backup. In fact he almost WAS out starter, but McMuffin did not like how he practiced even though his in game intensity...

    Mando S1 was mostly episodic, but it had the over arcing story of him wanting to return the kid while on the run from other bounty hunters and Imperial Remnants. Characters also had arcs over the season and recurring appearances. I have spoken.

    Hate to agree with the dog fucker, but yeah there are literally tons of shows with better season 1s out there, some recent and one even Star Wars. Mandalorian Season 1 was far superior in every way, except not as much budget for big sets, while being from the exact same network and fictional...

    The sets, music, and acting are extremely well done. The pacing is shit, though. Just too fucking slow and too much waiting for the interesting characters to pay off (Skarsguard and the Imp ISB chick). Cut out space jew simp, cut out hindu space lesbian rebel, dial back the Mon Mothma shit a...
