if they actually cared about parity and giving home teams more advantages in resigning free agents there is a solution for that that both the owners and players would hate and that's to get rid of max contract sizes. but that idea doesn't benefit the owners or any players outside of a small handful of them so it never…

we don't really have to wonder what melo would have been with good teammates and a good organization around him. he was one of the best players every time he played with team USA. his international performance alone should be enough to dispel doubts of what prime melo was. 

boston lurks with all available assets to make it happen and none of the desire to actually cash in the chips they've spent years accumulating 

twitch is selling this like it is good for their partners and affiliates (its not only because this will drive down engagement and it looks better to have a large number of viewers but i guess this might help if someone is getting harassed) but i really think they are testing this out so that media companies can sell…

the athlete versus entertainer question could actually set up precedent for a lot of future disputes but is a bit weird because aside from most baseball players, can’t you argue that all athletes are also entertainers. 

that’s where I stand on it. I’m fine not being able to beat it now because I have not grinded out a build good enough yet in a game that is about grinding out loot and min maxing a build. But the fact that people who have played the game enough to get the gear required for it, and understand the mechanics of it, still…

“Nobody’s watching Raw and thinking that The Revival suck for having been put into these dumb storylines.”

i have personally enjoyed the game more than yourself, but even so, i am really curious in what Massive could do if they were to unchain themselves from the tom clancy license and take the core gameplay ideas they have honed and put them towards an environment that allows for more experimentation. 

i think the problem is more on the reception to the ad than the ad itself. budweiser are free to advertise however they want and this is more wholesome than the dilly dilly stuff or whatever. but while we accept ads in websites and streaming services, the difference is when some of the biggest names in sports…

the point that it is a pointless, contradictory statement that’s sole purpose is public relations damage control that should be called out and regarded as such. as the writer showed in the lead up to talking about the statement, media members have fallen for precisely the insincere trick it was and are pushing a…

I’ve been really confused by people who are surprised by those sales numbers. Quality has only ever had a loose correlation with sales numbers and the fact that Anthem was arguably the most hyped and anticipated game since Red Dead Redemption 2 meant it was always going to sell. The fact that it’s disappointing nature…

Either/Or for me. I think Figure 8 is more consistent with more good songs but my favorite Smith tracks are mostly from Either/Or.

precedent is on Epic’s side on this one. however the counter argument can be made that it doesn’t exactly apply since this situation is unlike past lawsuits. it wasn’t until videogame micro transactions that the possibility of selling a dance became possible. and the dances have diminished value without the fame of…

while true that staff sizes can and should fluctuate based on need, when you fire 800 people in one day then that means failure from the upper levels of management who were not affected by the layoffs. if this was just good managing as opposed to what it is (a callous culling to satisfy investors) then it could have…

best part of the joke is that it's II.9 and not 2.9. they know the names have followed no internal nor external logic 

it makes some level of sense for twitch in that they benefit more in the short term and more directly when their biggest streamers get more popular since they already make them a lot of money. it’s easier for ninja or pokimane to make an extra thousand dollars than it is for smaller streamers to make an extra hundred.…

There’s a safe?! Damn it.

Kirk has probably seen this already but tip I got from the subreddit is that if you plan on using pre-forsaken gear, you can pull it from your collections for a cheaper cost than infusing it as masterwork cores are scarce still. it won’t be at your current max power level, but it keeps your midnight coup or ikelos…

a good for 30 seconds twice a match. and like we saw with bubble Titans in year 1, casuals gravitate towards more lethal abilities instead of support or defensive ones. I think attunement of Grace is fine as is (getting ability kills to unlock all the perks when you can't use it to kill is a slog though...)

I can’t guard point well with CB. I’m not good so I play super defensively when it’s tempered elder dragons and the like. Mostly the Uragaan armor is because I don’t have a guard up deco and don’t want to get caught in the middle of a teostra super nova or other one hit KOs like that. The day a get that gem is the…
