Mavs GM Nico Harrison is kind of a joke

Eisenhorn and Ravenor omnibus, Fall of Cadia, Infinite and Divine, Watchers of the Throne & Regent's Shadow, and probably half the Horus Heresy books/most of Siege of Terra (Saturnine is the best 40k book IMO).

I played on Gamecube! So many hours spent feeding Mags!

Was this post written by a Drukhari?

IIRC they didn't get home court though. The D-Will/Boozer Jazz were the 4 seed vs Houston twice but the Rockets had home court.

I was sick of the fish tank PCs and went with a Fractal Design North with mesh side panel. It looks great!

I remember pirating FRAPS to make SWG and WoW videos, and not having enough disc space to actually record anything of value. Good times.

With zero education, would you even know if the results the LLM gives you are correct? Would you be able to verify them?

That's fair lol, I just get why people would lament not being able to experience that again.
I'm excited for you though! Enjoy your journey as a new gamer, there's been so many great games throughout the years and hopefully many more to come!

For me, it's not about the games themselves - It's about that particular time, place, and people. It can't really be replicated.
I've played through all my nostalgic games a million times now. I will undoubtedly play them again - but it's never the same, nor will it ever be - and that's ok!

AD is 6 years older and has injury concerns, you're crazy to think that AD and one FRP is at all a good return. Luka just dragged the Mavs to a finals and you think they got better? Nah, unserious take.

They surely should have gotten more for Luka. AD and one first? That's absurd.

Apparently it's a real trade. What the actual fuck? Why would Dallas do this?

There's just no way that's a real trade.

My thoughts are either "Damn, I should play this game" (I never do), "Damn, that's cool but I've played this game way too much to ever play it again!" (I play it again, obviously), or "Damn, these people are nuts, I would never be able to play this game!" (accurate).

It was literally more space than I had on my drive, hence why the game ran off the disc instead!

Thankfully I have only purchased 4 CODs in my lifetime and none since 2015. Spent all that money on NVMEs instead.
Look, I bought 3 2Tb NVME drives over a 6 year span. At current prices that's $50 a year. I'd genuinely hope that would be affordable. If it's not, then yeah, that fucking sucks.

NVME drives are usually internal :P My 6 y/o PC has 3 slots!
BR players aren't much cheaper than NVME drives, you're spending money on hardware either way. Just my 2c though.
Devs could probably afford to optimize install sizes more but outside of COD I don't think anything has been egregious.

I'm pretty sure read speeds of a Blu-ray drive are significantly slower than an NVME drive, so I'll stick with the installs - it was more a commentary on how expensive storage used to be. NVMEs go on sale for like $50/Tb now, even less sometimes! 100Gb just doesn't seem like a big deal.

I guess? I don't think any dev is going into the process thinking "let's make a lackluster open world game!"
SSDs are cheap now and most of my non-open world games are huge too. Remember when games had to be run from CD-ROM b/c they wouldn't fit on the drive? Baldur's Gate 2 was ~4Gb in 2000!

I'm interested in games that are hyper realistic. Gamers are not a monolith.
