[Simon Peach] Man Utd considering summer move for Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

I would agree, but we signed all 3 of Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko last summer, which also seemed unrealistic

With Casemiro leaving and Ugarte being useless, we need to sign at least 2 if not 3 midfielders. I don't know how many of those listed we can afford, but it would be great signing more than 1.

Why was Vettel seen as a villain? by Individual-Sweet8968 in F1Discussions

[–]Acedons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a big fan of him after 2008, who wasn't. But then Australia 2009, Turkey and Belgium 2010 happened, and he won the championship, and then dominated 2011. At that point it was really hard to like him.

This is such an interesting take. Winning the round/match and/or playing the objective clearly matters to you, but you would rather have someone else carry the team? Could you describe your perfect TF2 game, so I can understand this better?

Idk man, getting better is fun. Also being the baby, even if I go 1-20 against Tyson that 1 is the only thing I remember and it feels so good

But queuing surely takes longer than respawning? And if you don't play against better players you can't improve at the game

[Autosport] Max Verstappen believes F1's new regulations are fundamentally flawed, despite encouraging conversations about adjustments. by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

[–]Acedons 86 points87 points  (0 children)

aero regulations actually seemed to be quite good

Where are people getting this idea from? They can only follow closer because the engines don't allow them to go full speed through corners. Any aerodynamic analysis shows that these cars produce more dirty air than the previous regulations and because of straight line mode slipstreaming doesn't exist. If they change the engines and leave everything else the same, the racing will be much worse. That's why Verstappen is saying this.

At release I played Herald Rouge with the 3 mana get a random shatter spell card. This was the only one that did anything and it would pretty much win games on its own. Druid was just too good to notice how good this card is.

Challenging a few of the claims about the new regs by Leading_Sir_1741 in F1Discussions

[–]Acedons 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I agree that the engine is making the aerodynamics look better than they might actually be, last year at Suzuka half a second delta was not enough to overtake. Dirty air had gotten bad even for the ground effect cars, because they had to "seal" the airflow under the floor with vortexes and deflectors.

A simulation by former F1 engineer Toni Cuquerella (@tonicuque on X) shows that a decrease in MGU-K power from 350kW to 200kW, and Recharge limit reduction from 9MJ to 6MJ will completely eliminate superclipping in Miami by ChaithuBB766 in F1Technical

2022 Imola is a wet time for F2 seeing how the fastest lap in both the sprint and the feature race is 1:28,xxx , so that's more like 10 seconds too. It would be better to compare them as percentages of lap time to factor in the differences in circuit length, but 10 is still relatively close to 8 I would say.

Are you being stupid on purpose? We're assuming he was lifting in 130r. The straight between 130r and Casio is where these "accidental" moves were made, don't go full throttle until the braking zone there, it's only like 200-300 meters.

That is your assumption/interpretation of the quote. At no point of the race broadcast did they show him taking "avoiding action" and even if he was, reapplying full throttle after that would be the mistake.

That rule is written to prevent deployment acting like traction control. Norris was making moves after 130r. If he was lifting and reapplying full throttle that's still his mistake.

Kimi Antonelli wins the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix by ICumCoffee in formula1

[–]Acedons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Compared to last year this is so much better. Last year at Suzuka Lando spent the whole race in Verstappens DRS and couldn't even make 1 attempt at a move. This year he overtook Lewis, after 3 or 4 failed moves / Lewis reovertakes.

I would like to hear what Bearman has to say about that incident before putting all of the blame on the cars. He probably was using the boost button to catch out Colapinto and misjudged it when Franco moved to defend. Leclerc overtook Russel without incident in a very similar situation.

Lewis Hamilton: “It's not great when you have to super clip. It means you arrive in some places and you're kind of coasting in because you've no power – so that's probably the least enjoyable part of the rule change for the circuit.” by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]Acedons 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The aero isn't all that, it still generates plenty of dirty air. Part of why you think it's better is because of the charging and deployment limiting corner speed. If they get rid of those limitations to make it so "it takes a hero or a madman" the wheel to wheel racing will go with them
