    So you're telling me a non-racist song that was introduced at a racist event is interpreted as being racist.

    A song that unifies people.

    But many of those who find that song offensive listen to music that uses "the N word" and use "the N word" in conversation with their colleagues.

    A word that divides people.

    Hmmmmmm.

    Wow. A take from 1997.

  2. Perception is reality. Pick this hill to die on with black, young men and see what happens. Those same black men happen to be the lifeblood of the program. There are also black boys who can play this sport really well who are watching. You think you've seen negative recruiting? Ha.

    I see both sides. Only one side controls whether or not this University fields a competitive football team, which - for purposes of this board - is all that matters.

    consider me whelmed, all those games looked like they could be on PS4. We'll see if there is any actual improvement to gameplay

    Did you catch this footage from up thread? I don't disagree with your above take, but I don't think these new trailers are really utilizing the full potential.

    Yeah, the footage starting around the 7:30 mark is bonkers. 

    Here's the same footage on Vimeo which I understand doesn't compress the file as much as YouTube. Full 4k experience.

    I think its safe to say that this surpasses a lot of the expectations.

    I live up here.  Give me ten cops and four red necks and I’ll clear those 7 blocks.  These people are lovers not fighters

    Well no shit. Cops are killers.

    Some good news if you like a delicious, contemporary, deconstructed twist on the cheeseburger with some light misuse of position on the side.

    Who was that on shaggy who kept saying trump was trying to bring the country together and the “libs” just didn’t understand and would be proven wrong?

    vincecoltyoung or whatever?

    I don't know, but there's a prolific poster who rarely ventures into CR. He's kind, empathetic, and articulate.

    He said that Donald Trump would go down as the greatest president in our nation's history. He has since retracted that, but my god.

    i am not ignoring it. there can be multiple causes for the spike. protests will definitely have an effect. so was relaxing restrictions before lowering the curve. like i said, mid-may we started trending in the wrong direction, which is two weeks after may 1, when we began relaxing. now we are going to see more effects of mass gatherings, ie, the protests, as well as people all over abandoning simple steps such as face coverings and social distancing. crowded restaurant patios are probably another cause. 

    we are headed in the wrong direction.

    This. So in a country of hundreds of millions with the majority of the population living in states that have opened things up without requiring masks or distancing, the blame falls on the shoulders of several hundred thousand protesters?

    There's a really good burger place in Capitol Hill called Li'l Woody's. It's not located in The Chaz but I'm sure they'll set up a trade agreement with The Chaz very soon. 

    Interstate commerce!

    I just had the sliders set to dynamic so it'd get easier or harder depending on how I played. Since I hadn't done MLB in a few years figured I'd go that route. 

    I can hit at HOF/HOF+ fairly well, but my teams offensive ranking and power ranking sucks, so it feels like I score 2 or fewer runs way way too often. 

    I would love to be able to set the skill at HOF but then adjust a few sliders to get the games a little more high scoring. I haven't looked to see if there might be a good suggested slider setting somewhere online. 

    I cannot lay off any change up in the dirt, can't hit for shit with RISP, and if my leadoff man walks, it is fucking guaranteed that the next guy up will hit into a double play. Like it happens, no lie, at least 80% of the time. So fucking frustrating. 

    Yeah, I found this community that is all about Franchise sliders. https://forums.operationsports.com/forums/mlb-show-sliders/

    I tried a few of them, but in the end have just started tinkering with them myself to try and establish a difficulty that will result in realistic stats and performance. I have both pitching and hitting set at HOF and have tinkered with the settings based off of some of the things I found in the threads on Operation Sports.

    The double play epidemic is real. I've started trying to swipe second with runners who have no business stealing just to try and avoid the DP.

    What's the deal with player stamina? I'm like a month in and I'm having to rest my players like every 4th game. How in the world am I supposed to play a 162 game season with people losing so much stamina? I realize that MLB players do take days off, but jesus christ, at this rate my stars are going to end up playing like 110 games each. 

    To avoid swinging at off-speed in the dirt, I pretty much take any pitch that doesn't start in the top third of the zone until I have two strikes. This leads to better counts and thus better pitches to hit. Playing DD has helped a lot with that because when a human opponent realizes you can't lay off the slow stuff in the dirt, that's all your gonna see the rest of the game until you can start laying off.

    lol think about how fucking triggered @Johnny Sack and the rest of the trumpkins are watching these statues come down and these institutions being re-named.

    Some NASCAR driver just fucking retired bc spectators are no longer allowed to fly the Confederate flag. Amazing

    anybody wanna tell Ivanka that "American Psycho" was written such that her idol is supposed to be gay, but not outwardly so...much like Jared.  NTTAWWT.

    Also, that election night photo.  Is it me, or does Mrs. Pence look like a younger, more handsome version of Buddy Hackett?  

    I mean, even without that angle, isn't the character a narcissistic serial killer with a massive inferiority complex? Am I misremembering here? What's to like about the character? He has a fancy job?

    Fascist body count = tens of millions

    Antifa body count = 0, but someone called Trey a racist once and antifa doesn't like racists so it must've been antifa, so antifa are the real fascists

    It would be hilarious if millions of people didn't think essentially just like this. 

    You're missing his point. His point is that anti-facists are the actual facists for refusing to consider the facist point of view. Or something like that.

    Anybody else buy it? 

    Enjoying it here so far. I know there are a lot of complaints out there about fielding issues. The thing that drives me crazy is that the second you get a 2 or 3 run lead, it's almost guaranteed that the next inning one of your fielders will boot a ball, lose one in the sun, etc. Then your pitcher will lose his shit and start floating every pitch over the plate to get hammered. 

    Started off slowly in Franchise mode but now getting into the swing of it and sitting at 23-20 with the Giants, 6 games back of the cocksucking Dodgers. 

     

    So I started a franchise the other day after exclusively playing Diamond Dynasty the last couple of years. Do you fuck with the sliders? Aiming for that middle ground realism, but right now I either crush everything or get two-hit.
