Big-booby Dragon Wolf comp. It looks like a better fit compared to pairing Freddy with Tirrel. Big booby provides damage amplification, making it easier to break through Yi An’s damage reduction. Nyles lowers HP and helps deal extra damage. Once Freddy has damage buffs, he can go all out... show more

Driving in Samson is stiff. These specific missions where you're tasked to destroy other cars are a pain in the butt to finish due to the input delay while driving. Driving straight forward is no issue, but as soon as there's a turn that you need to take or come to a stop. It feels like the car takes multiple seconds to respond, whenever that is by design or not, I don't like it. At first I suspected that this could be caused by frame-gen but I had it turned off from the beginning. There's also this damage boost mode while you're driving (reminds me of Franklin's driving focus in GTA V), you deal extra damage with a car but it didn't seem like it worked properly at all and also made the car even more difficult to control.

This family ordered pizza to be delivered. The Dominos driver finds the house and then proceeds to back up into the driveway. He hits their truck while doing so. Amazingly, he gets out and doesn’t even look for the damage. He grabs the pizza hot carrying case and proceeds to go give them their pizza. 🤯 Just before he pulled in, their son was outside with his girlfriend and they saw it. I’m guessing the driver was hoping he had not seen it. But the son had gone inside and told his parents. They said the driver didn’t mention anything and proceeded to deliver their pizza. But, they mentioned it and told them they saw it. They walked out to the truck but apparently he hit the tire and luckily there was no damage. They let it go at that. That’s what they said! 🤷‍♂️ Everyone makes mistakes, but, you should be teaching your kids to own up to their mistakes and as an adult, you don’t pretend you didn’t make one. 💯 Would you let it go at that? Would you call his location and let them know what happened? Or, would you just let it go like they did? Whatever happened to honesty and integrity?

Robert Englund on how he was influenced by the performances of Klaus Kinski & James Cagney for his role as Freddy Kruger in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984): "I saw the Klaus Kinski version of "Nosferatu the Vampyre" (1979, Herzog) with Isabelle Adjani, and I was so blown away by his work and I'm a big fan of Klaus Kinski's and so his freedom, his physical freedom in that film also influenced me to be freer and not be afraid to dance a little bit; to dance to Freddy a little bit or, as we say in the theatre, to wear the scenery a little bit. And sort of find my composition because so much of the scenery that Freddy is involved with is larger than life, it's surreal, it's the boiler-room, it's exaggerated, the set is mutating for whatever reasons and so Freddy, to kind of fill that frame, that rectangle, that picture frame, I wanted Freddy to be able to do that and kind of wear that scenery as if he was almost manifesting it himself in the imagination of whichever victim was hallucinating or dreaming it or having a nightmare in that landscape, so to speak. Yeah and that influenced me a lot and I would also use the hat a lot. I liked to use the hat to reveal the bald head - I liked to use the hat as silhouette and shadow and I liked to use the hat to hide behind. I could like literally hide my eyes from the light under the brim, and then at other times I could just barely lift my head and let the light in under the brim to catch my own eyes. So that was really informed part of Freddy, and then I think there was a little bit of Jimmy Cagney in there. There was a kind of a plant your legs wide, almost a little bit of Jimmy Cagney gangster thing. These are all like images that actors used, almost like having a bulletin board with scraps on them and they kind of inform you in your imagination and then they kind of manifest. I don't think anybody watching me would say Klaus Kinski or say Jimmy Cagney or say Bob Fosse or any of those things. But they did inform me a little bit. Because Freddy knows you're dreaming him, so it's almost like he's on stage. Freddy knows you're dreaming him and you're experiencing him as a spectre so I thought he would exploit that a little bit and milk it a little bit, you know." (Robert Englund's interview with Kwenton Bellette, Screenanarchy, 2012) P.S: Happy 79th birthday, Robert Englund!

First look at the new Deadlock hero - Silver! Liliah Silver is a mess. She drinks too much, she smokes too much, and the less is said about her personal life the better. But despite Silver's flaws she has managed to carve out a career as successful bounty hunter, and while she would like to think that her successes are solely because she has incredible intuition, the fact that she's a werewolf doesn't hurt. 1️⃣ Slam Fire - Instantly reload your gun. You gain bonus fire rate and deal bonus weapon damage based on the target's health for a limited number of shots, but suffer from reduced accuracy. 2️⃣ Go For The Throat - Deal melee damage to all enemies in front of you, receiving a heal for a portion of the damage dealt. The damage is increased the lower health they have. 3️⃣ Boot Kick - Dash forward and kick the first enemy hit, dealing melee damage while pushing yourself off and marking them. 4️⃣ Mauling Leap - Leap forward, mauling the first enemy hit for melee damage. They suffer from reduced bullet resist and take spirit damage over time. 5️⃣ Entangling Bola - Throw a bola, dealing spirit damage, applying slow and preventing movement abilities, stamina, or jumping. 6️⃣ Tail Whack - Smash enemies around you, dealing spirit damage. They suffer from disarm and a brief slow. 7️⃣ Lycan Curse - Passive: Dealing damage generates bloodlust, increased at low health. At max bloodlust, you automatically cast Lycan Curse. Active: Instantly transform, gaining increased max health, move speed, and stacking fire rate on enemy heroes, and replacing your abilities and weapon with their ferocious versions.

Steve Wozniak on the household robots he actually wants, starting with one that washes his car all night "I'd like a Roomba that sits washing my car every night in the garage, just washes it all night long, one centimeter at a time, very slowly. But it gets it done by the morning all on its own" "I'd like things that maybe wash my dishes. I can just shove them into one bowl and a little robot picks them up and doesn't damage them" "Think about how you learned to hold things and not damage them. You went through a whole learning experience as a human being, and we haven't talked about robots doing that"

First look at the new Deadlock hero - Celeste! 1️⃣ Light Eater - Blast enemies in a cone in front of you with a flare of light. Enemies hit take spirit damage when attacked by Celeste and provides spirit lifesteal. 2️⃣ Dazzling Trick - Surround yourself in a protective prism that provides bonus move speed. If the barrier is destroyed, it silences nearby enemies and deals a portion of the barrier as damage. 3️⃣ Radiant Daggers - Call down a beam of light from the sky. After a short duration, the beam will fully form, causing an explosion that deals spirit damage to all targets in the area. Celeste will receive a stacking buff that increases her spirit damage anytime this hits an enemy hero. 4️⃣ Shining Wonder - Launch a deadly orb of light that deals spirit damage and applies slow and reduces Dash Distance on impact. The orb then bounces to the nearest enemy within range. If no target is found, the orb will linger for a short duration while continuing to look for targets. It's not every day that Coney Island's biggest star, The Dazzling Celeste, performs on the streets of Manhattan. Her show begins with Light Eater, where a deep breath lit by her blazing baton coats enemies in front of her, and grants increased damage against them. Following that up, she envelops herself in the prismatic shield of her Dazzling Trick, which explodes and silences nearby enemies who break it. Try not to get distracted by her gliding gracefully through the air, or by the dance of her Radiant Daggers, as you'll regret being underneath them when they rain down from above. As for her memorable final act, the Shining Wonder will make her allies go OOH and her foes go AGGHHH! - "You are about to see something rare and wonderful!"

A straight man became a "Lesbian-Owned Business" through California's Gay-Certification Program. HEYING: "It's a stupid program. But if the program exists, it should go to people who actually grew up with and came of age in— like this is a tech guy with, I think he got a PhD in 1981... Straight white dude who then transitioned and lives with a woman because, of course he does. A straight white dude and is now getting preferential treatment in the state of California." WEINSTEIN: "Thereby outcompeting with actual lesbians for this pool of money that shouldn't be granted anyway. But if it is going to be granted this— So the point is... it is attack on lesbians disguised as perk for lebians to compensate for damage... it couldn't be more ridiculous."

New Collateral Testing after the BO7 Season 1 Update tldr; Shadow SK seems weaker, VSR is extremely inconsistent, and the XR3 ION still perfectly fine, if all 3 bullets hit. FMJ is inconsistent on snipers, so don't worry about switching your VSR to it. Your best bet is to still hit a headshot for triples and more to connect. There were no changes to snipers in the patch notes. My goal was to test collateral potential without using things like a heavy damage barrel, FMJ, or hitting headshots (considering headshots help a ton with hitting triples and above) to see what it is at a base level I tested all 3 snipers mostly with no attachments, or only with the FMJ fire mod (as the S1 update changed FMJ/Penetration, patch note linked below). I also used the VSR with my gunfighter build that uses the light bolt and short barrel. I assume that if using a sniper with no attachments can register the collaterals, then it should with attachments. I also assumed that 99% of you watching this (and care about collaterals lol) would not be using a damage barrel or FMJ in place of a short barrel or light bolt, and would assume that using both damage barrel and FMJ would help, but again, focused on using a build that most of you will be using anyway.

Jackson Koivun shot a 66 today to climb inside the top 20 of the Wyndham Championship and is currently projected 66th on the FedExCup standings. A good round tomorrow and he’d finish inside the playoff positions after making just 5 starts. After the round, he spoke about how important it was to play well today: “Yeah, it's just good for my confidence. It's hard not to think about that spot you're in, but I mean every shot matters. So just giving it my all on every shot and just try and go and put up a good score.” He also spoke about how he’ll deal with the pressure tomorrow: “Yeah, I mean, I'll just try not to think about it too much. At the end of the day it's an uncontrollable and if I go play well I can hopefully be inside of that top-70.” Jackson had a lot of hype coming out of college and earning a PGA Tour card via the University system, but he’s living up to it so far. Big Sunday ahead. PGA TOUR Wyndham Championship

Chris Finch on the Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle pairing this season “I hoped that it would be a little bit better. There’s no basketball reason why we shouldn’t be able to be a little bit better there. I think they kind of both play in the same rhythm, but I feel like it kind of feels like it’s maybe ‘your turn-my turn’ a bit rather than having like a two-man game such as Denver has with Murray and Jokic, but they both have the ability to create for each other, which I think came and went at times. I think that could’ve been a little bit more consistent, but I don’t think it’s a bad fit... But yeah, they both kind of play fairly ball-dominant. They like to create a lot of their own offense, and that sometimes makes it a bit of a tough partnership just because you’ve got to remember to also have that ability to keep the music playing as we like to say, keep the ball moving.”

We’ve seen a lot of dogs in bad conditions but I think this lovely boy might be the worst pain I’ve ever seen a dog in. We’d been told about him by a kind man in the community who found him but had no idea how to help beyond giving him water, food and putting a little electric fan on him. He eventually got through to us in sheer desperation. The dog has been there for days apparently and probably hit by some sort of major trauma. He hasn’t eaten or drank his water and he was laying in his own pee and poop. That little alley way was where it was all going to end very soon because I could see from his gums and other signs he was in big big trouble. We had to just go for it and make a stretcher with what we had and push through the pain. It took us 40 minutes to get back to Tina’s hospital and he screamed at every tiny bump on the road. I thought his spine was broken and was super relieved when it wasn’t. I thought he might be so bad that we’d never be posting this video as it might be better to put him out of his misery. He is very sick and has some stuff going on internally but it is pelvis related we believe. He is by no means 100% going to make it as he has so much going on inside him but we have some hope now. The team are in full action mode to try and save him. I called him Bear as he is a big fluffy gentle giant I can tell. I’m not sure how this story ends but it’s already better than he was alone in that alley this morning. He’s having a huge sleep now with lots of pain relief and meds. 🤞🤞🤞

I’m going to show you two pitches that encompasses the Padres offense Notice the situation bases loaded no outs. First pitch is a nasty sweeper in a 2-1 count. You would hope Manny lays off but it’s nasty and he swings out of his shoes looking to do damage. Okay fine. Now second pitch it’s a full count. It’s now time to be a team player. You would hope Manny shortens up his swing to make it easier for himself to cover whatever is coming. Nope, swings out of shoes again and whiffs on a pitch that has a 10.4% whiff rate. This is a selfish swing to me and it lacks situational awareness especially for a veteran. Then you have Manny nodding his head like yeah you got me. Brother you got yourself out. The team approach is horrible. Sometimes it looks like they just go up there without a game plan. They don’t hunt pitches where they can do damage early or when it’s two strikes they don’t have a 2 strike approach. They have one mode and that’s just to swing and to swing often. Making little to no adjustments inside the same at bat.

Dominick Cruz clarifies his controversial comments around Alexandre Pantoja's injury at UFC 323: “I don’t know what Pantoja was going through with the pain that day, but I do know it’s possible to pull it back in because we’ve seen it happen. My only thing is, I would love for fighters to be able to have the option. Why can’t we just take him to the corner and be like, ‘Ok, do you want to keep going?’ Kind of like an eye poke. There’s a chance he’s like, ‘No, I’m done, that’s too much, it hurts.’ Cool, no harm, right? No big deal. But if he could go on, if he could pop it back in… I hated seeing it go that way.”

Robert De Niro originally wanted to play Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, the role that eventually went to Robert Forster. However, Quentin Tarantino had written the role with Forster in mind and had already promised him the part. Tarantino explains… “I wrote Jackie Brown, and I decided at some point in writing the script that Robert Forster would be terrific as Max Cherry. So, while I’m still writing the script, I bump into Robert Forster - we go to the same coffee shop. ….so I decided I’m gonna give him the part, because I figure, look, this would be a big, big deal part. So if I don’t give him the part, then once I’m done with it and it gets out in the town, then it’s gonna be Gene Hackman and Paul Newman and people like that, and it would be pretty hard to say no to. But if I just give him the part right now, I’ve got the juice to get it through, and now I can’t take it back because I wouldn’t be a man of my word. So to lock myself into that decision, I give it to him before I finish writing it. And then now comes the time to do it. Robert De Niro reads it, and he wants to be in it, but he wants to play Max. And I go, “Well, look, you would be a fantastic Max, but I’ve already given that to Robert Forster, and I’m a man of my word. I can’t take it back.” Now, De Niro is very much a man of his word, so he understands that. He gets that. And he’s just like, “Yeah, yeah. That’s just disappointing. It’s just regretful.” I go, “What?” “Well, just because, you know, you were thinking about him, so you wrote it for him. But if we had had more dinners and hung out a little bit more, then you would have been thinking about me and you would have written it for me. And I understand what happened, but that could have been changed if we had spent more time with each other before this.” And so he kind of gives me the – “just think about it for a couple of days, all right? - and then let’s talk again. Maybe Bob (Robert Foster) could play Louis, the other guy.” So then I actually have Bob read Louis with me, and then read Max. And if that could work, maybe that could work. But no, everything that made him perfect for Max made him wrong for Louis. And so I get on the phone with De Niro — and I go, “Yeah, you know, I explored that. But no, everything about him that makes him perfect for Max makes him wrong to play this ex-convict guy.” And he goes, “Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that, I get that, I get that. Okay, so tell me about this Louis character.” And I go, “You would consider playing Louis?” “Yeah, it’s a good character. It’s a good movie. I wanna be part of it. It’s a good character. I wanted the other character, but yeah, this is a good character. I’d be happy to play it.” I go, “Well, you didn’t let me know that before.” He goes, “Well, I didn’t wanna let you off the hook. I wanted you on the hook. But now if that ship has sailed, then let’s talk about Louis.” And then it was a done deal.”

Robert De Niro originally wanted to play Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, the role that eventually went to Robert Forster. However, Quentin Tarantino had written the role with Forster in mind and had already promised him the part. Tarantino explains… “I wrote Jackie Brown, and I decided at some point in writing the script that Robert Forster would be terrific as Max Cherry. So, while I’m still writing the script, I bump into Robert Forster - we go to the same coffee shop. ….so I decided I’m gonna give him the part, because I figure, look, this would be a big, big deal part. So if I don’t give him the part, then once I’m done with it and it gets out in the town, then it’s gonna be Gene Hackman and Paul Newman and people like that, and it would be pretty hard to say no to. But if I just give him the part right now, I’ve got the juice to get it through, and now I can’t take it back because I wouldn’t be a man of my word. So to lock myself into that decision, I give it to him before I finish writing it. And then now comes the time to do it. Robert De Niro reads it, and he wants to be in it, but he wants to play Max. And I go, “Well, look, you would be a fantastic Max, but I’ve already given that to Robert Forster, and I’m a man of my word. I can’t take it back.” Now, De Niro is very much a man of his word, so he understands that. He gets that. And he’s just like, “Yeah, yeah. That’s just disappointing. It’s just regretful.” I go, “What?” “Well, just because, you know, you were thinking about him, so you wrote it for him. But if we had had more dinners and hung out a little bit more, then you would have been thinking about me and you would have written it for me. And I understand what happened, but that could have been changed if we had spent more time with each other before this.” And so he kind of gives me the – “just think about it for a couple of days, all right? - and then let’s talk again. Maybe Bob (Robert Foster) could play Louis, the other guy.” So then I actually have Bob read Louis with me, and then read Max. And if that could work, maybe that could work. But no, everything that made him perfect for Max made him wrong for Louis. And so I get on the phone with De Niro — and I go, “Yeah, you know, I explored that. But no, everything about him that makes him perfect for Max makes him wrong to play this ex-convict guy.” And he goes, “Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that, I get that, I get that. Okay, so tell me about this Louis character.” And I go, “You would consider playing Louis?” “Yeah, it’s a good character. It’s a good movie. I wanna be part of it. It’s a good character.

Marc Andreessen on the 3 things he looks for when investing in a startup The first thing Marc Andreesen looks for is a big market: “Is there a big existing market that you think you can go after and displace incumbents? Or do you believe there will be a new market that will be big?” The second thing he looks for is a 10x better product: “Is there a fundamental technology or economic change that justifies a new company? And the way I always think about that is: Is there a 10x change happening in the technology landscape? Is something 10x faster, 10x cheaper, or 10x better? If it’s not 10x, we as both VCs and entrepreneurs have to ask ourselves if it’s really worth doing because it’s really hard to start new companies . . . Existing companies are usually pretty good at what they do. So for a new company to exist, it has to bring a product to market that’s so much better than what exists that it punches through the status quo.” The third is the team: “Is the team outstanding? . . . You want to have a founding team of complementary skillsets. You want to have at least one super strong technologist — quite possibly more than one. Some of the best startups are actually more than one founding technologist. And then it often helps to have someone who is a marketing or salesperson who has a really good understanding of business.” Marc believes that you need all three of these, but if you’re going to compromise on one of those as an investor, it should be the product: “A great market is a lot easier to make up for with iterative product execution. The problem with a poor or small market is that even if you do a good job on the product, there just aren’t that many customers so it’s hard to ever get big and people get demoralized . . . And then we evaluate the team of a startup by its ability to get into a big market with a good product.”

Barrett: "And then I think Yash's whole 'I shook hands with Devens' [...] I do think Yash's handshake deal with Devens could just be a cover-up for him actually lying about the binding deal that definitely exists that he lied about..." "...Or, it's actually just a handshake that he doesn't want to go back on, which also would make me mad by the way because you can go back on a handshake in Big Brother..." "...Or, he's hiding the fact that he does actually truly want me or Drew out so...And it's probably that one. I mean he wants Drew out, but I think he'd be okay if I went as well, it seems. And like Lala's HOH, you don't just put people up on the block that you're okay with seeing going home..." "...But he's very good at trying to make me believe that 'Oh yeah we're gonna go boom boom boom, the Icons gotta get the fuck out.' No, I think all it is just they're shields for him. But can't do nothing but win, or go home, and if something great happens and he's actually telling the truth about wanting not only Drew out but keeping me in a tie, or actually one of the Icons out, then that's only to my benefit." #BB28 #BBBitez
