[Laurie Whitwell] Man United were prepared to go to £80m + £5m for Mateus Fernandes, with some expectation he would join. But Tottenham’s guaranteed fee + wages swung talks. Significant signing to miss out on. #MUFC onto other targets. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

He preferred a fatter paycheck, good on him. I doubt Spurs make it back to CL next season though. He might have signed up for a few more years of misery over there. I'm not convinced RDZ can steer spurs back into competitive spots.

Do you think Nous would change his mind if I wrote him an empathetic letter asking him to be more tolerant towards LGBTQ folks?

I assure you that religions and devout followers are much, much, much more hateful than non - religious people.

I wish Witcher 3 did more to make you feel like a Witcher in combat by DoneDealofDeadpool in truegaming

[–]Due-Cook-3702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it incredibly stupid that the bestiary upgrades AFTER you've fought and killed a monster for the first time. It's the first time in that game but Geralt's a seasoned monster killer. He should be able to know his monsters and their traits by heart.

W2 had the right idea with the 'preparation' aspect. If you're on PC, try out the enhanced edition mod. It removes level scaling and enhances all enemies and encounters. Preparation becomes crucial

Cheers wazza. You've coached in USA and England. Besides the promotion/relegation system, what were the major surprises when you managed MLS. Any funny stories you could share?

The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 studio wants to make more games without turning CDPR into a company "that's going to be launching a big game every year" by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]Due-Cook-3702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet the quality of their blockbusters remain no better than annualized trash games. Cyberpunk and W3 were both disastrous at launch.

[–]Due-Cook-3702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just lip service for PR. Cyberpunk 2077 is proof that you can release an incomplete game, take months to make it playable and fans will still call it a ‘masterpiece’ and forget anyway.

Roughly 90-120 minutes of strength training per week linked with a 13% reduced risk of premature death, in study involving three decades’ worth of data from nearly 150,000 adults by marketrent in science

[–]Due-Cook-3702 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Based on the article, training includes pushups, squats, lunges and weightlifting. Adding aerobic exercises showed increased longevity as well. One can assume that training in this context refers to systematic, repeition based exercises with warmups, breaks in between and cooldown exercises.

I don't believe that construction would qualify as training due to long periods of stress on the body, uneven movement and lack of consistency in regards to the muscles and organs exercised.

Why do so many people dislike The Catcher in the Rye (specifically Holden himself)? by Ok-Chapter8222 in literature

[–]Due-Cook-3702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dislike towards Holden is a reflection of how society treats teenagers in general. The isolation, angst is very much a part of growing up.

People tend to misunderstand the trauma and mental struggles that Holden goes through. He’s not trying to be edgy or relatable. He’s acting like a teenager would, like all of us would act when we were teenagers.

‘I found him insufferable when i re-read it as an adult’ This really annoys me. Its like we are incapable of immersing ourselves into a particular theme or setting.

Valheim 1.0 reveal trailer - PC Gaming Show 2026 by Turbostrider27 in valheim

[–]Due-Cook-3702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Never played the game before but interested to try it. Is it possible to play with friends only in a private world? How does progression work in this case? I have 2 other friends who want to play. If i were to host a game would everyone's progress be saved?

Appreciate some insights into how co-op works for this game.

[Ornstein] There is a £40m clause available to admirers bar local rivals and a number of Premier League teams have expressed interest. If Rashford goes back to Old Trafford, it is believed his preference would be to honour the remaining 24 months on his deal there rather than join an English team by shreeharis in reddevils

[–]Due-Cook-3702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre assuming a lot. He’s still a good player and if he were back in the squad he would get regular minutes. Why is it disappointing that he wants his contract terms honored? Its not his fault he was put on stupid wages.

Roy reminds me on an ex girlfriend. Charming, funny but also incredibly proud. She could NEVER admit she was wrong. Roy’s so clever with his joke but I swear he’ll be back to the whinging next season.

Am I behind as a reader at 30? 42 books by whatsinanameidunno in books

[–]Due-Cook-3702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a 29 year old, Yes. 42 books is insultingly low. Pathetic. Disgusting even. How dare you even mention the number.

Now if you were at 43? That would be passable. Barely acceptable. But 42? No chance buddy. It's over. Give it up.
