You know what really grinds my gears? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Projects. More so girls within the project; you can't tell them anything. This girl in my group will not listen to anyone, even the "general manager" of our group. She thinks she knows it all, even though her ideas are stupid. I just sit back and have to laugh, it's ridiculous. On a side-note: she gave one of our group members a lower grade on our last project/presentation than everyone else because, "he wasn't contributing."

When people make stupid comments on youtube like "First", "Thumbs up if ...", "Thumbs up if you're the 303 viewer", "The dislike bar is as tiny as ...", "Thumbs up if you're listening it in 2012", etc.

It's funny when they say first but someone beat them to it.

I always hated group projects. There are always those people who think they run the group and people who do not help out.

My wife watches all TV with closed caption. This pisses me off having to turn it off all the time when I'm watching my sports. I'm like, "you can't hear what they're saying?" I love her to death, but damn.

When it came to group projects, I always gave my parter(s) an A, just because I wanted to be nice. I gave them an A because I wanted an A. It also helped that they did at least something. I think it takes a pretty big *donkey* to give a person a low grade when working in a group project. They aren't the teacher. Who are they to judge?

Winter.

Snow on winter break.

Crappy baseballs.

My stupid hometown not having a baseball league. (Guys have no choice and get to play softball instead. YIPPIEE.)

My stupid hometown not having enough baseball fields.

*Rant*

My brother and I can only go to one field now, because it is the largest one that is open to the public and it's still too small.

Not including the university and the high school fields, there are a total of 13 ball fields. Out of 13 fields, 8 (really 9) of them are too small for us. Of the 5 that are large enough, 4 of them are inaccessible, 3 of which used to be open too the public until last year. Oh, and one of these three has a pretty busy street and a movie theater parking lot beyond the fence. So we can't even hop the fence for that field.

The closest field that we have played on that is open to the public and fits us nicely is in McVeytown, PA, 858 miles away. It even comes with it's own L-screen and small backstop.

They are the BEST to judge. It's a group project. You know who pulled their weight and who didn't. For our college senior design project me and this girl put together the entire fifty page proposal, as well as schematics, spec sheets, a cost analysis, order forms, etc. while we had four people assigned to CAD drawings and a scale model. After an entire semester they turned in an unpainted, roofless, balsa wood monstrosity. Sorry, I gave the two of us an A, and the rest of the team a D.
