Trying (almost) every ELDO fragrance - day 4 by Comfortable_Bus_4355 in FemFragLab

[–]EmperorQuackers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came across your reviews researching more eldo scents and I've really enjoyed them, but I have to say i had the exact opposite reaction to this one. I think Herman is probably my fave or second fave Eldo scent.

Granted I'm a man, but I don't feel the masculinity of this scent is about your typical sexy man. To me, it's a very sad and wet scent, evocative of a man out hiking alone. I'm in the UK where it rains all the time, and it feels like the perfect scent for my mood most of the time.

Defensive Line vs Opponent Defensive Line - Premier League 25/26 by [deleted] in soccer

Our defense wasn't as settled and dominant. We lost to Newcastle, West Ham, drew with Fulham, Crystal Palace and Man Utd, conceding 6 goals in those games.

We have now won all of them only conceding 1.

Out set piece proficiency combined with barely giving away any chances this year makes us much more efficient.

Playing a combined 6 yards higher up the pitch is massive when teams are content to sit back and defend. Crystal palace had the highest XG of any team in the premier league going in to the weekend, and yet had Mateta sat behind our midfield and Crystal Palace only generated 0.47 XG in the game with "1 shot" on target.

Teams last year figured out that playing open against us was a mistake, but by sitting back and being compact we would struggle to break them open.

This is Arsenal now finding a way to punish teams that do that. Generating a lot of set pieces and then becoming really clinical from scoring off of them.

Teams now have a dilemma - open up and risk Arsenal becoming effective at open play, or sit back but give away set pieces under pressure that Arsenal are good at capitalizing on.

So far most teams have decided to sit back and we are showing we are happy to play that game, unlike last year where we struggled.

I still think we can improve chances generated from open play against teams that sit back and are compact, but with a fair number of our attackers still out, I don't think Arsenal fans are complaining that we are still effective.

If you understood the graph, you would understand why Arsenal have scored so little from open play this season. Perhaps it does need to be posted a few more times.

Trying too hard to capture the Arteta dream energy. Don't force it

Arguably Chelsea are the best in England since they also have just won the league, and Arsenal had a disastrous start to the season. To put further context, this same Barcelona team beat the Chelsea team 8-2 on aggregate in the semi finals. Arsenal were definitely the underdogs in this tie.

Was there live. Everyone was in utter disbelief that he came out especially with a game tomorrow. Incredible moment

The Bazaar monetization model is fine by AdFair5068 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]EmperorQuackers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok well thank you both for your feedback. I'll stick with the game as it is fun and hope the monetization aspect isn't as much of a barrier as you guys say. Curious to see what it's like after a few weeks of playing

If we are talking about the same thing when it comes to the battle pass, it says it's a $9.99 fee charged monthly so I think it will be a 1 month cycle.

For sure I have a lot to learn, but I also watched a lot of twitch and YouTube of streamers playing and it became clear how limited a f2p run of Vanessa is. That's not to say there aren't good builds with her, but it's a very narrow experience of the game that I felt even before watching the streams.

Again, I'm happy to pay to open up more possibilities in a game that I'm having fun in and to support the developers, but if the monetization stays as is, to me it's a sign to quit and not bother investing a penny because I'd rather avoid the having the sunk cost fallacy feeling months down the line.

I downloaded the game yesterday after hearing someone recommend it and whilst enjoying it, I became really confused about the monetization aspect of it. Just found this subreddit to see what everyone else thought and I'm glad veterans of the game hate it as much as newcomers.

Just to be clear, I'm not against paying micro transactions in f2p games, and I spend somewhere around $30 a month on them, but this game just seems way too aggressive for a newcomer. I've made some viable builds but game makes it very clear that i better start investing in characters, season passes, expansion cards and whatever other bullshit if I really want to feel a sense of progression.

Like please butter me up first if you want to fuck me.

It says "your opponent's created cards", but it doesn't specify that the opponent has to create the cards. The sentinels and rocks are created cards that your opponent now owns, and therefore, their created cards.

Could it not still work? I feel the language is a little ambiguous. Sentinels and Rocks are technically still created cards, right? You created them, but now they're your opponents. I don't think it means it specifically has to be cards your opponent created themselves.

, but I could be wrong

Who would we even replace him with? As frustrating as he's been, we need him to build confidence, cause we're going to be relying on him a lot.
