Off Topic 2014 - 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.

I know a few big ones in California still use the quarter system, Cal Poly is the only one I can remember off the top of my head though.

lol, when I first read that, I didn't see the post you quoted, and I thought you were talking about something completely different.

I thought you meant the game "quarters" lol. Random people at my school used to play it during lunch. They'd just get a quarter,stand like 5-10 feet away from a wall,flick it at a wall,and whoevers was the closest wins all the quarters that were involved in the game. Yes, somehow this was actually a thing lol. They used to do it at a convenience store not too far from the school,and the owner got so mad people were gambling by their store.

On another note....for anyone who used to watch Family Guy....Cleveland is returning on this episode! I've really tuned out of the show in the past year or two because it took me that long to realize the quality isn't gonna get better and the current quality was horrible. But I always said I would tune in again to an episode if the episode sounded great, and having Cleveland back makes me think it'll be a real good one(since around the time Cleveland Show began was when Family Guys quality took another huge hit,so hopefully with Cleveland show done,it means family guy is gonna get better,though I doubt it)

Re: Off Topic 2014

In my opinion, Family Guy was already on its way down hill when they wrote Cleveland out, but the decline was quicker and more noticeable once he left.

I went and it was successful. I can eat anything so i'm good.

It's still not quite done as it took 2 hours and my jaw was getting tired. The dentist was really careful and very pleasant. I was quite pleased.

That's why I said that after Cleveland left it took "another huge hit" cause it was already declining before then.

Re: Off Topic 2014

Best friend of 5 years had her baby today, and I wasn't there for it. I wasn't even informed. I had to find out via social media. Partly because her boyfriend doesn't allow her to talk to any other guy. Wasn't allowed to see her while they were dating, wasn't allowed to go the gender reveal, wasn't allowed to go to the baby shower, sure as **** not going to be able to visit the little ****head in the hospital. Last time I talked to her was 2 weeks ago when she texted me behind his back. I've known her for 6 years, been best friends for 5. They've been dating for 2 years.

I'm pretty pissed off that I wasn't informed (scratch that, VERY pissed off) but I'm more pissed off at this entire situation. I realize that this is the mother of his child but at the risk of oversimplifying it, I'VE BEEN HERE LONGER THAN YOU BRO I'M NOT GOING TO **** HER GET THE **** OVER IT. And even if I did, well she's already pregnant so what's the worst that could happen.

I truly hate to say it, but I doubt that child is going to have his father around for long in his life unless that asshat has a major come to Jesus. Hell, he wasn't even around for most of the pregnancy.
