NBA 2K

I've been an avid fan of NBA 2K since the early 2000's. I absolutely hate how money hungry the game has gotten; that being said, the core offline gameplay is still extremely strong. I'll pop in and play a few offline games just to decompress. It's gotten to the point where I'll put on music or a podcast and find myself idly playing through four quarters of basketball.

The game looks fascinating to me, but I've never played any of the other FF games. I'm aware of the characters in VII, but outside of that, would I need to play any others to play XVI?

Thanks to everyone who put this together. I’m sure it was a lot of hard work, but I think I can speak for the majority of the community that this is something that is extremely valuable to fostering growth over time.

Do any of these have the ability to link an album? I often put multiple photos together, and post the that link to my communities.

Not OP but I do the same thing. I read ebooks on my iPad and Kindle. There’s a feature if you have the audiobook and ebook on the Kindle app, where it’ll highlight the word that is being spoken, but if you move to the next page, the audiobook will jump to where you are.

Are your default sort options different on the website and on Memmy? Try to change the default settings to be similar, for example, Type: Subscribed Sort Type: Hot

Huh. Well, so much for being disgruntled about his lack of minutes, eh?

Market probably dried up for him.

 

Obviously this is just a request and not a demand.

I have been enjoying my usage on the app immensely, but the one thing that is disrupting my workflow the most is the inability to swipe anwhere to the right/swipe from the left side of the screen to the right to access my subscribed communities.

I enjoy viewing my community pages to see all of the new posts submitted there, and then moving on to the next community. As my fingers are already swiping on the bottom half of the screen, it would be extremely useful to just swipe right to access a sidebar where I can see the other communities. Would something like this be possible, and put in the pipeline?

Thanks for posting! I'm almost only play cooperative games (no one in my group is too much of a fan to compete against each other), so I'm always on the hunt for more of these. Luckily, I own all three games you've mentioned, but only spent time on AE and The Crew. This definitely motivates me to open up Spirit Island and give it a go!

I actually own the Target exclusive Horizons of Spirit Island - from reviews, it seems like it's a streamlined version of the original, with lower quality pieces. Have you tried this, and what are your thoughts on it?

Not the OP, but I just left the theater and really enjoyed it. Not the best Pixar film in any sense, but the themes really resonated to me, as a kid with immigrant parents.

It really did a great job evoking the themes of the sacrifices our parents made coming into a new world, the apprehension they developed towards the people already living there, and trying to blend the difficulties of maintaining old cultures/values while growing up in a completely separate ones. I saw that the director, Peter Sohn, had Korean immigrant parents, and it really felt like it was a story of his struggle.

I agree that the trailers were absolutely atrocious and didn’t made any mention of the things I listed above; if my girlfriend didn’t want to watch it, I probably wouldn’t have gone. However, I’m glad I did and even shed a few tears at the end

More than the past year imo; I’d say for the last 3 years or so. I largely started avoiding the comments, but then I realized that a league as popular as the NBA would have news coverage anywhere. I then started following The Athletic for my news; that being said, I do miss having good conversation about the NBA with others. I’m hoping that constructive criticism and disagreements can be upheld here, as that was lost on the subreddit years ago.

And there it is lol. I don't think it's too surprising that one person who was weak-minded and spineless, would echo the actions and sentiments of another person who was also weak-minded and spineless.

...That's it? Might as well have announced it during the Finals, this is a nothing burger. DeAndre Ayton got suspended 25 games for failing a drug test. Ja has flashed a gun twice and got the same amount of games suspended.

20 new developers! Damn. Thanks for the hard work, everyone.

It’s somewhat exciting to be a part of this journey so early on; Lemmy will obviously continue to change as it adapts to an influx of users, so I’m sure you guys have your hands full. Looking forward to the continued progress of the application.
