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.

People need to wise up, and check out the URL before clicking a hyperlink.

I saw that it was IISB but I didn't know what was the Rick Roll link, I still LOL then had to click the mouse for a min. Pretty hilarious. Good one Eli, good one.

You know, probably 99.9% people realize it sucks. However, part of the fun is playing along that it is the greatest song of all time.

I don't care if you play along with that but putting that in random threads is annoying and the "joke" is old and lame. I usually check links so I'm not falling for it anymore, outside of what eli did in that thread but it's not funny anymore.

Let me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Chicks that used to be your best friend calling you up at 2am, drunk and rambling in a complete tangled web of estrogenal wreckage, asking you why you stopped talking to her, how it hurt that she said happy birthday to you while you didn't say it to her, and claiming that she thinks about you every day and every night. THEN during a text exchange, saying she wants you back in her life, and that it's up to you to decide, as if it's a ****ing ultimatum.

I know exactly how you feel on that one. Just recently happened to me. Funny part is she's the one that ended the friendship.

EDIT: Almost forgot I wanted to add this.

The fact that JJLinn has a five page essay due in 3.5 hours and he hasn't even started it. Okay, it doesn't grind my gears, but he wanted it in this thread, so here it is.

Still grinding my gears, too. 2 hours later, introduction paragraph: done.

That reminds me, procrastination grinds my gears.

Ouch.

I procrastinate a ton myself. I've done it my entire life and just can't get rid of it.

She effectively ended the friendship with her actions, but I was the one who finally stopped contacting her after I was brushed off for the final time when she SAID we would hang out sometime the next week and she'd call/text/something to confirm.

She never did. Final straw.

Neither can I, unless it's a total last minute thing, such as this essay.

Speaking of the essay, I just knocked out another paragraph thanks to a huge *** quote. I love opinionated people who talk too much.
