@overseastags@midvault@hbktuna@KJINTHELAB Consumers are to blame for their complacency, I will agree with you on that. If the ignorant consumer didn’t purchase every year they would be forced to change
@overseastags@midvault@hbktuna@KJINTHELAB Dev cycle is not a decision made by devs but rather the management in charge of them. Every other franchise outside of sports games has a revolving door of dev studios each given a few years and the creative freedom to make each entry stand out in the franchise
@midvault@hbktuna@KJINTHELAB He can do whatever he wants with the ball because the studio has a cool 3-5 month dev cycle so the game releases a buggy mess each year. Congrats buddy you’re drooling over someone using loopholes and exploits 😆😂
@ImLiveOnTwitch@TwinFrmFN@300bang44@Ronnie2K This mechanic makes no damn sense, they want us to time a bar that changes its speed and size in a split second and even when you manage to somehow perfect the timing to the very tip of the meter the green window just dissapears 🤣
This image was sent to me from the field. These are messages US servicemen in the Persian Gulf have scribbled on the dust of an aircraft flap.
"Be a good guy and do what Israel tells you to"
"Operation Epstein Fury"
"Peace deal #64 incoming... ALL THIS FOR THE HOLY LAND"
I have no frame of reference, I can't compare it to the sentiments of US soldiers in previous conflicts. But I suspect these are new sentiments, or at least a new willingness to express them this openly and directly.
But as one serviceman told me: "What people in the media don't understand when they compare past conflicts to this one, is this operation has no morale behind it. That makes a world of difference to service members deployed to undesirable locations indefinitely."
Read that last part again: No morale. Deployed to undesirable locations INDEFINITELY.
My own conclusion: When a war has no morale behind it, winning means that you simply end it. There is no other "winning" in such an unjust war.
Russell Westbrook retired today with the most triple-doubles in NBA history. The name written on his wrist for all 18 seasons belongs to the kid UCLA actually wanted. That kid died at 16, and Westbrook spent two decades playing for both of them.
Westbrook was a 5'8", 140-pound freshman that no college recruited. The call UCLA's head coach made to his high school in 2004 was about Khelcey Barrs III, Westbrook's best friend from across the street in Hawthorne. A 6'6" phenom pulling scholarship offers as a sophomore. The two had a pact to play at UCLA together, then the NBA.
In May 2004, during a pickup game at LA Southwest College, Barrs collapsed on the court. An undiagnosed enlarged heart.
Westbrook walked across the street every morning after that to do his friend's chores at his grandmother's house. Then he grew 7 inches, averaged 25 a game as a junior, and took the UCLA offer they were supposed to accept together. From that point on he played like a man carrying two careers.
The numbers he put up look like typos.
209 triple-doubles is the most in NBA history, and it took breaking Oscar Robertson's record that stood for 47 years. In 2017 he averaged a triple-double across an entire season, something no human had done since 1962, then did it three more times. 27,176 points, 14th all time. 10,351 assists, 5th all time, behind only Stockton, CP3, Kidd, and LeBron. He did all of it at 6'3" in a league of giants, and outlasted the franchise that drafted him. Seattle picked him 4th in 2008 and stopped existing before he played a game.
And in every one of his 1,301 games, he wore two wristbands. One said KB3. The other said "Why not?"
People spent 18 years asking why he played every possession like the building was on fire. He was playing for two.
@imBrook_@742O69@TempoZP I’m not opposed to being wrong if you can link your source for gun ginnis being more common in high ranks. I know there’s sites out there that track that so I won’t cast you a liar. I’m actually very interested in playing her gun build, I genuinely love her character
Admittedly refreshing to hear someone respond to tired anti-immigrant talking points by saying “Isn’t your president a pedophile” you can genuinely see the Fox host realize he’s made a terrible mistake in real time
