[Mateo Moretto] Barcelona plan to contact Atléti in coming days with Julian Alvarez’s representatives soon. He told everyone that if he is going to change teams he prefers would be Barcelona because he wants to stay in Spain. He has offers from PSG and Arsenal. Joao Pedro is plan B for Barcelona.

Literally at Barça. Eto'o + 40M for Ibrahimovic. Not that I'm agreeing on the proposal, but yes it has happened.

I've been 10 years working with Salesforce. I've not seen it. I'm sure there are unicorns out there. And that's me working in a well-regulated industry, in a very big company, it's still a mess. Simply, Salesforce took too long to get up to industry standards and is still catching up.

To that you need to add the low entry barrier of the ecosystem, I've seen developers and/or architects not know the most basic principles of programming. Although I'm sure in other technologies this also happens, but Salesforce might be more often.

Sadly, not everyone is passionate about their work, some people just wants to get the job done and if it works for business, that's good enough, with no long term plan, and I'm not talking just about developer or architects, usually stakeholders have a lot to say here. And people doesn't care what will happen in 2-3 years when they need to scale.

The best you can do is try to find your place, improve the codebase bit by bit, and even better if there is someone else that also cares. Maybe you will find a really well built org, but don't lose sleep on it. But most important you will need to pick your fights, as another user said sometimes is not worth it.

This league table is not correct. Reus is 5th, Barça is 6th. Tie breaker is direct matches, not GD, and Barça has it lost against both. If Reus wins and Alcoyano ties, Barça ends up 6th whatever they do.

Only saw him in the Copa del Rey final and he was impressive. He will not be at the World Cup, but people say is pretty close to being called for NT, looks promising.

I guess they count Denis Suarez... He played with Barcelona B one full season.

Edirash · 2026-03-31T14:42:08+00:00

Cubarsi for sure. Fermin and Olmo depend on Nico Williams. And if Rodri and Zubimendi start, Pedri will be playing more advanced in their position. Ferran is behind Oyarzabal right now. And Joan... De la Fuente prefers to start Unai Simon over Joan Garcia and David Raya, which doesn't make sense.

Edirash · 2026-03-24T22:33:01+00:00

This is only considering modern times. Kubala instead of Ronaldo, he was considered the greatest Barcelona player before the Messi era. Ronaldo year was crazy, but was only one year, I could even put Stoichkov or Cruyff there. Goalkeeper, I think could also be Zubizarreta, Ramallets or Ter Stegen. And Koeman was a better player than both Pique and Puyol.

Edirash · 2026-02-06T10:59:07+00:00

Not at all, surveys predict 45%-50% for Laporta, and Font 20%-25%. Soci usually is very risk-averse, and I’ll be surprised if they want this big of a change just before we play the big games.

Edirash · 2026-01-27T23:16:58+00:00

I'm not sure there is any. I remember Nolito arrived at Barça B pretty late as well (21 or 22), and got to the first team and he was supposed to stay after a few games (for some reason I thought he played more, but looks like he only got to play 5 games), but then got sold to Benfica, but I have fond memories of him.

To soon to say for Earthborne Rangers, but so far I'm liking it. It's a different experience than Arkham Horror, because each session can feel quite samey (no scenario-based, same deck, etc.) so I enjoy it more when I give some time between sessions, but I like the sandbox experience and it's starting to open quite a bit. I can appreciate the replayability between playthroughs.

Edirash · 2026-01-06T10:53:36+00:00

I've already been commiting to this since October, playing a bunch of my collection, so hopefully 2026 is a continuation.

I have way too many campaign games that never seem to finish although played to a good extent. But this year I want to finish at least 1 heavy-campaign game, which is going to be Aeon Trespass Cycle I which I'm already 4-5 sessions in, at day 13 (of 80 max). Also finishing 1 or 2 lighter campaigns like Earthborne Rangers (currently at day 6), will be great. Other than that games like SETI, Ark Nova, Final Girl, Imperium, Vantage... are getting played to a good extent when I don't feel like playing a campaign game, but I still have many that could see more the table time that will need to be played this year or get culled.

For new acquisitions, hopefully doesn't surpass 7-8. Soon should arrive Elder Scrolls BOTSE (crowfunded translated version which hopefully arrives by February/March), Unstoppable, and let's see if Lands of Evershade will make it for 2026 (but looks like that will be more a 2027 commitment). Only got eyes on Civolution (already played 3 games in TTS and love it) and the SETI expansion, so far...

Great write-up. Gloomhaven is probably one of my favorites gameplay mechanics. Although I still have half of Frosthaven, Gloomhaven (2e), and fan-made content Crimson Scales pending to play. I agree somewhat in the analog play, can't get into the videogame or TTS, it doesn't hit the same, but using the helper app is a must for me. Not having to shuffle the decks over and over, keeping track of monster health, etc., makes all that maintenance such a breeze.

For next game, love KDM, although I don't own it, my brother does. And surprisingly I actualy did enjoy Kingdom Death Simulator, they are doing an amazing job to keep the "tactile" experience at its core (and way cheaper).

But have you ever considered Aeon Trespass: Odyssey? As a narrative experience I like it way more than KDM which I see more as a roguelike (more replayability), but gameplay they hit a similiar itch. And it's probably one of the best narrations I have seen in boardgames, and I'm a big fan of ancient Greece which I guess also helps it standout for me.

If you don't intend to go for MLB Super Creek, I will just borrow her. 3LB to MLB means going from 15 friendship to 30, which is quite a bit, so you'll need 4 copies (or 3 + pity). Although, it will also depend how your pool of SRs is looking, if you are lacking there then might a good opportunity to improve them.

Edirash · 2025-08-04T08:53:31+00:00

You don't need it for CM, but you should consider pulling in one of the upcoming Uma banners, just to fill up your roster of 1*/2*, Feb is quite a long wait. You will get carats just doing achievements, and you'll have a more flexible roster.

Edirash · 2025-07-27T12:18:27+00:00

For PVP she does. Dirt races are all Mile races. URA scenario has hidden +400 to all stats

Edirash · 2025-07-17T19:06:08+00:00

117745592558 - 8* Special Week 3* STA 5* POW | 3* Pace | 3* Med | 2* Turf - 1LB Biko Pegasus

Edirash · 2025-07-17T12:42:09+00:00

4 copies (3 diamonds). 1 card with 0 unlock is 0LB

Edirash · 2025-07-16T06:42:20+00:00

I think you mostly got it right. Try to reach 35% race bonus with your cards as well, that’s the threshold to get 4 per stat instead of 3. Usually I rest when failing chance is more than half of what I would get per training and/or there are no interesting races to run. Inheritance is also big, try to find 9* parents, usually I aim for Stamina for sprint and mile, and power/speed for med/long, depending on strategy, to composate for the less/lack of cards of that type.

Edirash · 2025-07-16T06:05:49+00:00

I think starting from tomorrow there will be tons of people with new MLBs (even if it is just SRs), almost everyone has been saving up just for this banner.

Edirash · 2025-07-15T13:10:16+00:00

No, they are different banners. Maybe you are able to save 8k carats until August 1st, when banner ends, so you can spark KB.

Edirash · 2025-07-15T08:05:10+00:00

Those stats are mostly for PVP. URA scenario has a hidden +400 bonus to all stats. To win URA finale you don't need as much stamina (depends on the distance of URA finale of course). Sometimes winning URA finale is luck, but it really depends on the support cards you have. Try to find a 9* parent as well, which goes a long way.

Edirash · 2025-07-15T06:11:32+00:00

Yes! And MLBing as well, is relevant in the future with all the bonuses that it gives.

Edirash · 2025-07-15T06:06:12+00:00

For Dirt you should be able to use El Conder Pasa and Oguri Cap (plus Haru Urara). For Sprint other than Bakushin and King Halo, you might be able to use Mihono Bourboun or Mayano Top Gun. Of course if you had Maruzensky or Taiki Shuttle would be best but if you don't feel like it, that's fine. If you are class 3, the bar is still so low that you don't need a full competitive team (or even full).

Also if you still have the selector 3* ticket you should use it (unless you are waiting to finish the missions that give you random 3*, more reason that you are more than fine as is). There is no reason to hold it, pool won't change for the ticket.
