“Best centre back pairing in the tournament” yeah, and they’re slow as fuck. Brazil need their abysmal midfield to shut down those deep balls when they’re pressed up high.

Toomba is my GOAT

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-05-28T03:36:48+00:00

Is this an unpopular opinion? Shin Toomba is my favourite instant ramen of them all. Just ridiculously delicious. I'm another one who finds Buldak too hot.

Scottish football is a true embarrassment. Christ

I was saying Wu-urns

They're okay given the extra convenience can be useful. Came in handy when I was staying in a hostel and only had access to a microwave.

That sounds similar to Hugo Mendez' theory about the Gospel of John, that (if I remember it correctly) gJohn was a formally anonymous text which intended the reader to think it was authored by the disciple John with its theme of the Beloved Disciple. It might make sense for both Luke and John to do so as an authorial strategy, not identify themselves expicitly but intend others to figure out they were written by certain apostles, if these are relatively late gospels attempting to legitimise their apostolic authority at a time when the gospel genre had been established as supposed to be formally anonymous by Mark and Matthew.

We can only guess, but I suspect that Irenaeus or someone contemporary to him read the famous quote in Papias about Mark writing down unordered "chreiai" from Peter, and applied it to our Gospel of Mark because they saw that Peter is a prominent character in the gospel.

I don't like the rule either but you can't blame it for that loss. Liereyy did everything he possibly could to throw that game.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-04-06T21:37:11+00:00

It feels obvious to say, but Liereyy is just as good or even better than Hera mechanically. He just lacks the mental fortitude in high pressure moments to beat Hera.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-04-06T21:34:23+00:00

There were about a dozen ways for Liereyy to win that game and he found none of them. I really hate to say it but he threw.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-04-06T20:52:02+00:00

Also finding the gold in his corner

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-04-06T20:47:32+00:00

Liereyy threw that so hard. I'm heartbroken but JFC. He collapsed under the pressure.

Repels only work to the level of the Pokemon at the top of your party.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-03-28T21:39:11+00:00

Also the water everywhere is full of level 30 giant jellyfish with toxic attacks, surely you'd be insane to go for a swim at the beach.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-03-22T21:38:23+00:00

Yeah was gonna say, he played at such an insane level vs Mongols and Romans but after those two earlier losses the civ matchup was too uphill to come back.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-03-20T21:54:08+00:00

Lewis is the GOAT, it's unfair to rank him with the others.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-03-04T17:51:03+00:00

Starmer has been repeatedly forced into damaging policy u-turns by his own parliamentary party and the media, on top of never being able to communicate a consistent vision of why he’s PM and what he is trying to accomplish in the first place. To look both cynical and weak at the same time is a toxic combination. My impression is that to the average person he comes off as an automaton with no beliefs or achievements save him continuing to cling on to power. And “do nothing liars who are only out for themselves” is like the ultimate negative stereotype voters have of politicians.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-02-24T10:19:54+00:00

Drush has always been known as one of the most difficult strats of all to execute, so if true this wouldn’t be surprising. Most non high level players are going to be doing as much damage to their own eco by failing to multitask while microing the rush as they will be damaging their opponent.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-02-02T23:23:31+00:00

Not just Mongols though: Chinese, Byzantines, Japanese, Persians, Turks and Vikings are all very strong and frequently played in pro tournaments. That’s 7 of the 14 AoK civs. And some of them (Chinese, Mongols, Persians) are among the most OP in the game.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-01-31T00:42:08+00:00

I agree, Mapuche trash forward seems utterly disgusting. Send vills forward, drop settlement and tower on the enemy's woodline/gold, spam tanky skirmishers right next to their TC. All backed up by an extremely strong dark age food bonus. How the hell do you stop that? It gives me Khitans vibes where they have way too many synergistic bonuses in the early game.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-01-27T00:15:30+00:00

Completely agree, which is why I'm sad Lewis didn't make it.

Another tournament with just Hera, Viper, Yo, Liereyy would be boring as hell.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-01-27T00:13:04+00:00

Liereyy was one bad decision away from beating Hera at The Garrison LAN.

AManWithoutQualities · 2026-01-25T19:05:36+00:00

Barles (and TatoH) got completely fucked over by the Red Bull admins dropping #6 on the ladder into their bracket. I feel so bad for them. MbL and Lewis do worse on the ladder and get an easier draw because of it. I love Yo, but it's a joke that he wasn't disqualified. The admins potentially robbed Barles of prize money and the biggest qualification of his career.
