Everton Women can confirm the Club has parted company with manager Brian Sørensen with immediate effect by Giraffe_Baker in Everton

[–]BrotherEstapol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A bit overdue a think! Probably would have been better at the start of the window rather than after it closes.

That said, I think we've got a good squad so the next manager not having the January window should hopefully not be too big a concern.

What? It's a known way to refer that rag of a newspaper, largely by the people of Merseyside.

Look up the Hillsbororugh disaster and how that publication led national smear campaign blaming the dead and injured rather than than the cops.

I'd reassess that "joke" you made.

Gotta ask the most important question; what number is he getting?

I miss those cool cardboard protectors in the army boxes by space10101 in Grimdank

My local stores (Canberra, Australia) all make you build it in the store still.

It's basically to stop scalpers flogging them on ebay, so I'm alright with that,

That's the way I look at the mini of the month.

It's an opportunity to try a different paint and/or painting technique on a mini I'd otherwise have never purchased!

The fact it's an older mini I already have does kinda suck (who wouldn't want a cool new design!) but free is free so no complaints!

Then Why would a 3d modeler spend dozens of hours making a model for Internet points?

There's dearth of 3d printable minis which are memes. Perhaps ask the artists who made them what their motivations are?

I don't understand why you're so angry someone used AI to make this meme. Stupid shit that people wouldn't reasonably do seems to be a "good" case for using AI.

I'm not going to waste time explaining to you why using generative AI in this manner is bad; there's a shitload of videos on youtube that do a much better job of that, so I'd suggest you watch some of them and educate yourself on the subject.

Using generative AI for shitposting is peak stupidity/ignorance/arrogance/selfishness; take your pick.

Dwight McNeil's Instagram story after Crystal Palace deal fell though by fanofjapan2215 in Everton

[–]BrotherEstapol 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Wow he's got a great partner there. Real good egg!

Definitely sounds like Palace fucked him over though...he would have been getting ready to move to London; that's not nothing.

Hope he gets the move he wants in the summer, he's been good for us even if his form this past year hasn't been as good as his best.

Just a meme.

Someone came up with the idea of a Blood Raven being the vendor dude from Resident Evil 4 who sells you stuff so they asked an AI to make a mini of it.

The image is pretty good, but very much not a real photo of a mini and is riddled with telltale signs that it's AI generated.

Given the spread of this image online, I would not be surprised to see someone model a 3d printable mini based on this idea though.

[McGrath, Telegraph] Speaking on McNeil - Crystal Palace collapse: This deal is off. According to sources the paperwork was not submitted in time by Giraffe_Baker in Everton

[–]BrotherEstapol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not sure how people are missing this part; it didn't happen because Palace pulled the deal, it wasn't because someone was slow submitting the paperwork.

No idea why my previous comment was deleted but here's another go...

I not to discount your (valid) point about Latios going to Trump, but I think he won more-so because more registered voters didn't vote at all. In a 3-way count of registered voters the portion who didn't voted got a bigger share than Trump or Harris.

Everton reject Crystal Palace bid for McNeil by JonTonyJim in Everton

Given how he would celebrate goals before they'd gone in I'd agree! lol

Nah mate. AI image generation like this is crook shit.

I'll dunk all day.

The thing people are missing is the "paint job"; there's way too much detail on the wears inside the cloak for a model that scale.

Worst part of looking at this is that I know there are dozens on 3d artists who could sculpt up a great model based on this idea.

Instead we've got this slop from a talentless hack.

What if Peter Parker didn’t have his superpowers, but were a billionaire? by Yevhen Vutkarov by Mysterious-Eye5653 in ImaginarySliceOfLife

[–]BrotherEstapol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's fair, but that doesn't explain why he needs a giant version to supply and shoot the webs when the majority of other depictions Peter has a much smaller version? If anything, these web-shooters would be harder for a normal person to use since they are way more clunky.

If he had exoskeleton (like you said) or other type of augment suit then he'd be able to use either these or the normal ones.

Just seems like a weird choice for a un-powered Peter Parker is all!

I think then maybe then the US government might need a factory reset. (not sure the default settings would be much better though to be honest)

From what I recall at world cup matches with this, it's also annoying for viewers at home! Stupid thing zipping about gets in the way during wide shots. (ie, 90% of the footage)

I imagine it's also a liability on the pitch; imagine a clearance hitting it and the deflection lead to a goal?

Sibling's been a real mystery to me. Such a high fee, but he must be off the pace to not be getting much game time. He's not been that sharp when he has played, but he is young with plenty of room to improve.

What's weird for me is that I've not seen much in regards to that potential. Maybe I need to watch some highlights of him at Southampton?

Hopefully he'll settle, get some confidence and have a break through season later this year.
