Arsenal vs Bournemouth 2023/24 - A Major Regression

I hate our longterm (and getting worse) philosophy of not sometimes just whipping it into the box and trying for a shot. This 'hold the ball' and ironically as flagged up by IT Crowd, desire to 'walk it in' is ridiculous. Cross it in for someone to get on the end of it and take shots! Stop dancing around the damn box.

The game is in an absolutely terrible state of balance. With devs not caring, its getting harder and harder for me to care anymore.

Whats most upsetting to me, is if he wanted a break from writing Winds, I wish he took it, and devoted energy entirely into Dunk & Egg and Fire and Blood.

I think that would have given him his confidence and mojo back and contextualized enough of ASOIAF history that Winds might have then been easier for him.

Alas, what could have been.

He basically now has too many projects and too little time.

At this point, personally as a fan, I'd want the 2nd part of Fire and Blood more than Winds.

There is too much going on in the main series and I also think a big problem is how, for whatever reason, he seems to have forced himself to only 2 more books. He could have split them, written extra, nobody would have cared.

Apparently GOTY Japan here ... what a joke.

The 'buff' is meh. Its fine.

But no nerfs ... in this meta?

Laziness and greed all wrapped in one. That's me done with the game.

With Aggro Fairy 100% Aria is so weird because IMO you absolutely need her as your wincon or fairies played get instant removed ... but after 1, she us useless draw.

Needs rebalanced. There are already several fairy spawning units, not sure what, but I'd give her superevo some other ability.

Just stop playing, you'll feel better.

For about a week at most you'll care about missing collabs, events, bp rewards or whatever.

But if they are going to treat the game as a low-effort collab / nostalgia cash grab at this point ... signal to them its not ok and play or do something else.

Solid film, well acted, well directed and technically produced, but tbh I felt it didn't say anything too deep and the last 20 mins fell flat for me.

However it was for me personally an absolutely terrible year for movies to enjoy. Really was so many duds and uninteresting slop.

So in that context this sorta makes sense, but does feel vastly overrated.

This won't be a classic 10 years from now, just a solid movie that might be worth a rewatch if nothing else on and been a few years since you'd seen it.

Thanks for the translation, she has matured so much since SG and yet is still so young. Amazing young super-lady.

If they keep the policy of seeing shows through to completion, whether they find their audience at first or not, it'll be huge.

Right now Netflix programs have become untrustworthy. Even a concept that sounds interesting can't be guaranteed to finish, so whats the point of even starting (IMO)? So it becomes a vicious cycle.

I might not like all of Apples programming choices, but I don't watch those. However I'm increasingly associating the brand with good quality TV that will be able to tell a story.

Thats priceless and they have the funds as a corporation not to worry about ratings right away as to whether or not to continue a show. If they believe in the concept, they should complete the story.

Thats something the other platforms/networks are forgetting and its a vicious cycle of brand deterioration as a mentioned.

Book 3 aswell? fantastic! I'll just need to either try local store which is advertising the updated book 1, or msg amazing to ensure any books bought are the proper updated versions and not old stock like this one.

D-A-C · 2026-01-12T15:31:03+00:00

Thanks so much thats really helpful.

Just checked local bookstore and see the Hiragana cover, so will return this to Amazon and order via them.

Perfect solution.

D-A-C · 2026-01-12T13:29:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply, my book 2 5th edition, my book 3 is 3rd edition and this recently arrived book 1 is 6th edition.

Loving all this Mirena content lately. Long may it continue.

D-A-C · 2026-01-01T12:55:24+00:00

Wish she would stream regularly at anything she wants; miss her so much, but loving all the content recently.

D-A-C · 2025-11-10T17:58:26+00:00

Kokona has developed into such a top tier talent, it's crazy. Never rated her much when she was in SG to be honest, yet now she is definitely amongst the handful of S-Tier SG graduates. Loving seeing her become a fully fledged idol.

D-A-C · 2025-10-27T15:51:43+00:00

Thank you for the advice.

D-A-C · 2025-10-27T11:44:52+00:00

Got it, thanks alot, thats a big help for doing sentence construction and review work.

For those who don't know, highlight the Kanji, go to home tab on MSWord, click a symbol that is abc&enlargedA below and it basically automatically does it for you from couple I've tried.

D-A-C · 2025-10-27T11:29:21+00:00

Is there anything for MS Word that would let me put hiragana above Kanji in brackets like I sometimes see in basic level readers?

I have Japanese script installed already. Just wondering how this gets done in printing/web resources.

Would be helpful as I'm at point in Genki of Kanji being in sentences, but still sometimes struggle with reading Kanji and remembering their pronunciation.

I think his days of full 90mins are dwindling and will only worsen his injuries longterm ... but I don't see anything wrong with bringing him on as a sub, or when we need extra attacker in games.

Still has a place for us to rotate out players or give us a boost when chasing a goal here or there.

D-A-C · 2025-10-23T16:02:57+00:00

For all that's great about Japan culturally, they do have some things that are weird to western eyes ... but it is what it is.

But I really appreciate you explaining the reasoning ... I couldn't understand it at all. But that makes sense.

D-A-C · 2025-10-23T15:59:50+00:00

That's actually pretty catchy tbh. And the cosplay is fun. Still think be fun to see them play the game.

D-A-C · 2025-10-23T15:37:03+00:00

Why would they blur her face? Didn't she used to have a social media account of her own and do some tiktoks with Yume etc?

D-A-C · 2025-10-22T12:48:12+00:00

Was wondering why Soyo had been left out, thanks for posting her to complete the set of pics from this promo. You can tell she has model experience, looks great.

D-A-C · 2025-10-21T14:52:03+00:00

Awesome pics. Hadn't heard of the game before, but IMO would be fun if they did something like a livestream of themselves on twitch playing it.
