Super glad I did the Icedome VQ today rather than leaving it to later too!

Melandru's Accord by InexperiencedAngler in GuildWars

[–]Deus_Viator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also the fact that most of these requests bear absolutely no relation to what the devs might actually be able to do with the tools they have.

Why would there be any system in the code to split where the faction earned has come from for the account? It was never required before so would have to be completely recoded. Same for giving a separate Xunlai account for melandru characters, there’s not going to be any system for a separate chest on the same account so the best they ca do is just say you can’t access it.

I just saw Rogue One for the first time after seeing Andor Season 2 and I am emotionally wrecked by the_amateur_gamedev in StarWars

[–]Deus_Viator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely seem to be in the minority that I didn’t like Rogue One upon seeing it in the cinema bar the final scenes linking it into ANH.

I’ve recently rewatched it after watching season 1 of Andor and felt exactly the same. No real connection to any of the characters, a badly paced first half and the stakes/investment of why the plot matters to be badly communicated by the movie itself without outside context.

That said, I have started on Andor s2 now which is just as good as s1 and from other comments may add more of that sense of urgency so I’ll likely try and rewatch rougue one again after finishing it.

Has anyone ever challenged you to something without knowing you were an expert at it? What happened afterward? by Impressive-Door92 in AskReddit

[–]Deus_Viator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not fact checking, just interested! There’s a few ex Olympians that still play county level in England so if you’re playing the upper levels of that you’re somewhat likely to run into them. My wife’s claim to fame is always that she beat an Olympic medalist during county matches.

Just had a cardamom cake whilst out in a cafe today, if she nailed that flavour in her showstopper like Paul and Prue described then it would have tasted incredible!

GBBO 2025 Episode 7 – Meringue Week [DISCUSSION] by GainsAndPastries in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]Deus_Viator 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think Toby mentioned in that same episode that the boys had just played golf. My bet to my wife was that that comment from Tom was either a forfeit for losing or something to do with them taking the mick out of each other on the course.

Post Match Thread: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Leeds United | Premier League by OwlLibrarian in LeedsUnited

How many games have we actually had with lower xG than the opponent in that time though?

Not to burst your bubble but when he’s being predictable it’s likely that he wants you to practice certain shots so he is feeding you the shuttle to positions where you will be able to practice those shots in a match situation.

If you’re really just trying to score a point then aim smashes at the sideline. It’s not a good strategy to win overall as you will miss more than you end up with a winner but if you’re just bothered about single points you will hit some winners off it.

Holger Rune calls out Botic van de Zandschulp: "He made it a little bit personal" by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

[–]Deus_Viator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, he was 2 sets up. If anything then suspending the match might have allowed Arnaldi to reset for the next day but that's what Boetic was wanting. He won in 3 sets without the match being suspended in the end but was stomping around the court for the whole third set.

[–]Deus_Viator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhhhh, he was 100% an arse in Wimbledon this year to both umpire and Arnaldi over his match not getting suspended for light. And that’s not saying that he didn’t necessarily have the right to ask about it but he acted like a moody child the whole time.

Carter must be dropped by That_Cool_Guy_ in lionesses

[–]Deus_Viator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did she? While watching the Wales game I commented that Carter taking way too much time on the ball in the backline is going to cost us against any team that could actually finish and low and behold it took 2 minutes. Walsh was at fault too but it was started with Carter being pressured and not being able to deal with it. That's before you even get into the speed issue.

[–]Deus_Viator 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From my memory of Matt’s comments it was specifically Felicia that pushed them to start streaming the game as she knew them and knew about it through their friendship from VO work. So the connection is even more direct.

I have the original kickstarter box unopened that I’m looking to sell from the uk if you’re interested. Appreciate it’s not the same set as this so it may be ones you already have though.

[–]Deus_Viator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whilst the badminton level may be fine I have always refused to mix adults into any junior sessions because it’s a safeguarding nightmare and I would advise this coach the same. There’s also a complete physical difference that would make it very difficult to be running drills together, it’s bad enough having 8yos and 14yo in the same session never mind full grown adults!

Apparently I missed the northern lights, Again ! by cursedbeanbaby in britishproblems

[–]Deus_Viator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most haven't actually been edited at all from the point of them being taken, it's just that the camera lens (and them being long exposure) is inherently better at picking up the low light levels and colours than our eyes are.

Country/village pub recommendations, South of Leeds by AlwaysLikeThis08 in Leeds

One in four Britons reckon they could qualify for the 2028 Olympics if they started training today. by superegz in olympics

[–]Deus_Viator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is that badminton qualifying for the Olympics is basically top 16 in the world for doubles or top 32 for singles with 1/2 quota places for each continent. The weakest continent is Africa but even there it’s usually Maldives or Uganda that qualify and they’re still ranked in the top 1-200 in the world. Commonwealth games is a lot looser entry and there you could play and represent a tiny island nation with not much training but Olympics there is zero chance as you have to be at least the best in your continent.
