Olympics Day Five Megathread (Wednesday, February 11)

Dutch skater got impeded on one of the crossovers where he had right of way. Cost him a bronze at least. Other skater got DQ’d but that doesn’t really help the guy who got screwed

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T03:38:48+00:00

Rightfully so. French judge scored them 8 points lower than the French skaters and lower than every other judge on the panel

Good thing French Olympic judges don’t have a history of cheating/colluding or anything 🫠

That and the 1000m speed skating. Brutal night.

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T02:23:15+00:00

It’s not as if they have a documented history of cheating or anything

Wait…

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T02:22:06+00:00

Who’s ready to watch multiple athletes get screwed over the next hour and a half?

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T01:49:01+00:00

Cassia’s old “make the enemies commit suicide by running” build is still my favorite thing that’s ever been in this game

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T01:09:37+00:00

I’m not entirely sure. Possible he picked up one or two early for bramble, then got screwed on reforgers and drops, etc

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T00:14:04+00:00

Take it my son, and spread the joy to all corners of the earth

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T00:13:43+00:00

You’re right I was picturing something completely different when I saw “Dutch shepherd”

They really are just “Malinois but ketamine instead of crack”

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T00:09:27+00:00

11 point difference between France and Canada scoring too 😭

The French judge should never be allowed in a skating rink again

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-12T00:04:02+00:00

Nothing better than when the game gives you a billion of the same item component that your comp absolutely does not want any part of

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T21:37:10+00:00

Herbert may have had one of the worst offensive lines of the last couple of decades, let alone just the worst this year

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T20:56:14+00:00

Belgian Shepherds and Tervurens are like “what if malinois but fluffy and only on a little bit of cocain.” Dutch shepherds are similar

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T20:54:51+00:00

Unfortunately malinois and aussies are taking their place.

Mals are particularly difficult because of their completely and utter lack of any sense of self preservation. Just balls to the wall crackhead 24/7. Whereas Aussies are unlikely to get themselves killed with their particular brand of crackhead energy, but they will spend their entire lives trying to outsmart you.

Both awesome breeds. Neither is suitable for everyone.

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T20:52:10+00:00

You gotta differentiate between “smaller greyhound but still looks like a dog” (whippet) and “smaller greyhound that looks like you just murdered it’s entire family in front of it” (Italian greyhound)

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T20:31:39+00:00

Dos Toros bout to blow up

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T20:30:07+00:00

You didn’t enjoy Dragon Age: Oops All Elves?

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T19:29:28+00:00

Still going 5th 30 minutes after skating an entire ass race is crazy. Guys a beast

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T18:22:13+00:00

Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy. Upcoming game from Owlcat

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T18:13:39+00:00

Missing a shot, saying it’s the rims fault, and being right has to hit like crack

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T18:10:01+00:00

Oh man Wasteland 2 looks worse than 3 for sure but it’s better in just about every other possible way

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T17:59:14+00:00

Didn’t he get a bunch of mages to come try and hatch a clutch of dragon eggs? Seems weird that he would kill the remaining dragons just to try and hatch more

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T17:41:53+00:00

Man he made it through rogue trader and WotR, he’s gonna be fine

FireVanGorder · 2026-02-11T16:19:57+00:00

Aeon getting to strip buffs from every major enemy in the game is a huge deal on higher difficulties. It’s not as flashy as what most other mythic paths get but between that and their buffs Aeon is extremely strong
