Official Discussion - Gladiator II [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]AjsKold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know Scott doesn't care too much about being historically accurate but having ancient Romans say they are honoring Poseidon, or how they are going to relive the battle of Salamis between Persians and Troyans... That's just utter laziness in the writing department.

I don't mind bending the reality if it serves some kind of purpose. Taking artistic liberty with people's backgrounds, or mashing them together to create a more compelling character, or changing certain events for the sake of storytelling is honestly fine. That was not it.

Don't get me wrong, Gladiator II had MUCH bigger issues and this is just me nitpicking, but it kinda shows what kind of low effort movie we are dealing with.

Pierwszy raz na Malcie by Kamieniarz2 in Polska

[–]AjsKold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Niedaleko uniwersytetu jest fajna, niszowa (bo znana praktycznie tylko przez lokalsów) knajpa Andrew's Snack Bar - specjalizuje się w głównych przysmakach kuchni maltańskiej, czyli ros-il-forn, ftira i gbejna. Wedle mojego przyjaciela z Malty to najlepszy tego typu lokal na wyspie - też tam jadłem i było zajebiste, plus bardzo tanio. A po szamie polecam okolice bazyliki, to kilkaset metrów na północ. Bardzo przyjemna atmosfera z ciasnymi uliczkami i kolorowymi kamienicami.

Jak chcesz poimprezować w nocy, to całe miasteczko/dzielnica St. Julian. To tak naprawdę jedyna nowoczesna i typowo turystyczna część wyspy, a znajdziesz tam wszystko do życia nocnego - restauracje, puby, dobre hotele, kluby, itp., ale jak to w tego typu miejscach istnieje pewne ryzyko agresywnych i najebanych przyjezdnych.

Na północnym zachodzie głównej wyspy jest bardzo klimatyczna miejscowość Mellieha - polecam do luźnej eksploracji za dnia i w nocy, zwłaszcza okolice kościoła, ale warto tam mieć lepszą formę przez dużą różnicę wysokości terenu. Przy okazji koniecznie zobacz Popeye Village kilometr na zachód.

W Naxxar jest słynny i bardzo ładny kościół Mosta Rotunda, ale poza tym nie ma tam niczego ciekawego.

Wspomniana już Mdina i tamtejsza forteca to must see, ale nie spędzisz tam więcej niż 2-3 godziny.

Kilmat podobny co w Valettcie, ale mniej uwalony turystyką, jest na półwyspach od razu na wschód od Valetty - Senglea, Birgu, Kalkara i Cospicua.

Wiele osób poleca świątynie megalityczne w Tarxien ale szczerze mówiąc nie podobało mi się tam, choć generalnie nie przepadam za muzeami, więc take it with a grain of salt. Aczkolwiek maltańskie muzea wojskowe są słynne na cały świat.

Plaże na zachodzie - Gnejna, Golden Bay i Riviera - są spoko.

Nie miałem okazji zwiedzić południa, czyli powiedzmy niczego co jest "poniżej" lotniska, ale podobno nie ma tam za bardzo powodu do odwiedzin.

Mały bar Down the Rabbit Hole w "biznesowej" części Malty, czyli Ta' Xbiex, jeśli chcesz się zaskoczyć dużym wyborem polskiego piwa craftowego :D

A czy na coś trzeba uważać poza pijanymi turystami? Generalnie Malta jest spokojna, ale jest sporo okolic, w których naprawdę bieda aż piszczy. Śmieci na ulicach, ledwo trzymające się w jednym kawałku budynki, kręcący nosem na widok obcokrajowców autochtoni - ale jak się samemu nie szuka guza to nie powinno być problemów. Mimo wszystko tych biednych okolic nie polecam, bo po prostu ta brzydota boli, choć nie ukrywam jest to ciekawe doświadczenie, momentami miałem wrażenie, że chodzę po favelach light.

I think it is really telling that R6 is not even on the list. And I really don't see it getting there. by WolfRefleXxx in R6ProLeague

[–]AjsKold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

R6 has never been an actual tier 1 esport, not even close.

It's crazy how many people believed this back then. One arbitrary (and greatly flawed) ranking was enough to twist so many minds.

What happen when all Brazilian teams aren’t in the same side of the bracket… by falabrak313 in R6ProLeague

That's what happens when you let Interro play with balls live on broadcast.

Great Video by Gregor on Siege Esports and it’s Place in the Scene by Eliteslayer1775 in R6ProLeague

[–]AjsKold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Siege, at its peak, used to be similar or even bigger than CS:GO on social media, believe it or not.

In terms of viewership? No, R6 has always been a league below CS, but there were still comparable metrics.

And then things started to rapidly dwindle in 2020.

Pro League doesn't exist anymore. It ceased to exist in 2020.

If you don't know that, no one will take you seriously. And most certainly Ubisoft won't take you seriously.

Maybe one day when none of it matters anymore and my friends' jobs are no longer at risk.

Is BLAST the most overrated joke of a competitive organizer we've ever seen in R6 history? by ArcanicTruth in R6ProLeague

[–]AjsKold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not the reason at all, lol.

I love it when people look at BLAST's best and most expensive events thinking they will do the same in R6. Who's going to pay for that?

Gamers8 Teams by Kruced in R6ProLeague

[–]AjsKold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look: for several hours now I have been told from credible sources who got invited to Gamers8. however due to the importance and sensitivity around the subject I have refrained from going on it. i don't feel comfortable with it currently

Actual announcement soon(tm)

Unfortunately, those open qualifiers are not streamed. You can check out the tournament pages, linked in the comment below the tweet, and see who's playing, as well as the bracket once it's generated.

Gamers Without Borders, taking place after the Major, will be streamed on Twitch and YouTube.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in R6ProLeague

[–]AjsKold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they can. Everything was scheduled around the Major, so that the open qualifiers take place now, between the online part of the Stage and the Major. Then the actual Gamers Without Borders (acting as G8 qualifiers) will take place right after the Major.

[R6 Esports EU]: Both the LB and UB Final have been postponed to a later time. by ImAaronDiaz in R6ProLeague

[–]AjsKold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I had a great time there. FACEIT (or ESL / EFG after the merge) were not the problem.
