So, if you didn't know, Jake Paul took home 40m, Mike Tyson took home 20m and Netflix got a huge amount views so it was a win-win for everybody else outside of the spectators.

Is the Golden Age of Sports Behind Us or Still to Come?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Sports
I'd have to agree. Michael Jordan, Michael Schumacher, Jeff Gordon, Muhammad Ali - sports will never have such impactful legends like these again. -
What sports do you think are still underrated by mainstream audiences?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Sports
Battlebots in the 2000s was my favorite era. I used to love Robot wars back then as well. The creativity to make these machines functional and the skill to use them is definitely overlooked. -
What’s Your Opinion on Competitive Eating as a Sport?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Sports
I've participated in an eating competition once and that was when I was hungry and had lost all my money as a kid. I've never been happier to guzzle down so much chicken at once. -
With the rapid advancement of technologies like AI, blockchain, and biotechnology, how can we ensure these innovations benefit society as a whole? What steps should governments, companies, and individuals take to prevent misuse or exploitation? Is regulation the key, or should we focus on public awareness and ethical development?

With increasing concerns about climate change, electric vehicles (EVs) are often hailed as a key solution for reducing emissions. But are they really the best option? While EVs produce no tailpipe emissions, their overall environmental impact depends on factors like battery production, energy sources, and recycling. Are there other alternatives, such as hydrogen or biofuels, that might be more sustainable in the long run?

With the rapid advancements in AI, VR, and interactive storytelling, could we eventually reach a point where people can create fully immersive, personalized movies? Imagine a world where the plot, characters, and visuals are tailored to your preferences, emotions, and past experiences. How realistic do you think this is, and what technology would need to evolve for this to happen? What impact would it have on filmmaking, entertainment, and storytelling?

With the rapid advancements in biotechnology, how do we ensure it's not misused or applied irresponsibly? Whether it’s genetic manipulation, biohacking, or unethical medical practices, the potential for harm is real. What steps should be taken by governments, researchers, and society to create strong ethical standards and regulatory frameworks? How can we balance innovation with caution?

With rapid advancements in biotechnology, the cosmetics industry seems poised for a major shift. From lab-grown ingredients like collagen to biotechnologically produced active compounds, how might biotech influence product development, sustainability, and skincare effectiveness? Will we see more personalized products, or even plant-based alternatives? What are the potential ethical concerns, and how could biotech shape beauty standards in the years to come?

I wish I could say I have but honestly, it'd become exhausting having to do this because I play lots of games almost every day.

I remember hearing about the button mashing for good luck one, too. Another common superstition I’ve encountered is that if you turn the console off in a certain way (like holding down the power button for a few seconds), it prevents it from glitching in future sessions. People would even say it helps with ‘avoiding crashes.

I can't really think of any outside of maybe Minecraft. I mean, I played it once but I haven't touched since that time. Otherwise, I've played pretty much all the biggest games before in one capacity or another.

I definitely think good games can be therapeutic. For me, they offer a great escape when life gets stressful. It’s not just about distractions - some games let you explore different emotional landscapes or work through complex situations, which can be really calming and even help with problem-solving in real life.

I think both procedural generation and hand-crafted levels have their merits, depending on what the game is aiming for. Procedural generation offers incredible replayability - games like No Man’s Sky or Minecraft are great examples where the world feels endlessly fresh because no two playthroughs are the same. That said, I do have a soft spot for hand-crafted levels, especially when a game has a strong narrative or atmosphere, like The Last of Us or Hollow Knight. These worlds feel so thoughtfully designed and layered with detail that it pulls me deeper into the story. If I had to choose, I’d lean more toward hand-crafted for its storytelling, but procedural generation wins when I want endless variety and exploration.

Dedicated Servers vs. Peer-to-Peer: What’s Your Preference?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
Personally, I also prefer dedicated servers because they provide a more consistent and stable experience overall. Sure, they can be more expensive for developers, but the trade-off is worth it in terms of less lag and fewer host-related issues. In competitive games, the stability of dedicated servers can be the difference between a fair match and frustrating gameplay, especially in fast-paced shooters or strategy games where precision and timing matter. I feel like games like Call of Duty or Apex Legends benefit the most from dedicated servers. -
The Pace of Game Releases: Too Fast, Too Slow, or Just Right?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
I think the rapid pace is starting to affect the quality of games. It’s like developers are trying to meet a release deadline instead of taking the time to really polish and innovate. We've seen quite a lot of rushed releases with bugs and unfinished content. It’s a shame because there’s definitely potential, but the speed of releases might be compromising what could be great experiences. -
How Do You Contribute to the Gaming Community?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
I try to share my experiences and insights with others on forums and Reddit threads. Whether it's giving advice on strategy games like Age Of Empires or discussing game mechanics, I feel like sharing knowledge helps people enjoy games more deeply. I also support indie developers when I can, purchasing their games or promoting them through word of mouth. Even small contributions can make a difference. -
Who’s Your Go-To Fighter in Super Smash Bros.?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
My favorite is Ganandorf. He's so tanky and he hits pretty hard and you don't want that falcon-punchlike move to catch you either! It's instant death. -
The Great Debate: Sharing Gaming Accounts - Yay or Nay?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
For me, I definitely not sharing my gaming accounts with anyone. Especially when some of them have my payment info for paying for games. -
Best Strategies for Resolving Disagreements in Gaming Groups?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
In my opinion, one effective strategy is to prioritize communication and understanding. Encourage everyone to express their concerns, but also make sure each person actively listens to others. Sometimes, it helps to pause the game and discuss the issue openly, allowing everyone to present their side. It’s key to ensure no one feels unheard. If the disagreement revolves around a specific rule or strategy, it might be useful to agree on a system beforehand, like voting or using a mediator, to resolve conflicts quickly and fairly. This way, the game can stay fun and inclusive. -
Do You Prefer Co-op Or Competitive Games For Socializing?
killamch89 replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
Same. I definitely prefer co-op games for socializing. There’s something special about working together with friends to overcome challenges. It's more about the shared experience and less about winning or losing, so it feels more relaxed and enjoyable. Plus, you can always laugh about those funny moments where things go wrong -
Same here. I find that it also helps me to fall asleep easier.

That's a good pick as well. There's also Command and Conquer generals.
