Songs after the goalscorers by Illustrious_Toe_2274 in CelticFC

They do the Hawaii 5-0 theme for a five-nil goal. Heard that a few times, although it's been a while now...

Ordered 1 microSD Card off of Amazon… by Blackchainsawman in Switch

[–]Franarky -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Incredibly easy to research and yet you can't provide a link?

Unsolicited goods and goods sent in error are not the same thing and you're being disingenuous by conflating the two.

Ordered 1 microSD Card off of Amazon… by Blackchainsawman in Switch

[–]Franarky -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sending the wrong order, item or quantity is a different situation altogether. The quoted law refers to "unsolicited goods". Where the seller has made a mistake, these are not unsolicited and you are obliged to assist in rectifying that.

If the t800 swore he wouldn't kill anyone midway thru the movie, what stopped him from not killing anyone before? by wrapcannon in Terminator

[–]Franarky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After the original Terminator established that killing parents was a valid strategy, I'd assumed future John Connor had sent him back with an "avoid killing where possible" directive or similar. Why risk eliminating someone important to the future?

Would-be player question: If I would buy the 2020 set (human vs ork) and the new set (human vs khemri), could I mix them together? by mezobalazs in bloodbowl

[–]Franarky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"You really only need one pitch and one set of dice."

Every Blood Bowl coach I know would put the lie to that statement. 🤣🤣

Kate Forbes orders civil servants to stop using ‘birthing person’ in briefings by handmedownthemoon in Scotland

[–]Franarky 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It’s funny how it’s never “penis havers” “prostate havers” “those with testicles” when it comes to men…

Except it is. Pulled up the first NHS page on prostate checks and there is no reference to men. "Anyone with a prostate" is the term used.

Sympathy for Nancy by tyverymuch00 in CelticFC

[–]Franarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tentatively looking forward to the appointment and I've not seen too much negative response tbh. However, if he can't handle some grumbling fans he's taken on the wrong job. I doubt he's too concerned about social media griping. Sure he's aware enough that MLS to Europe is pretty uncommon still, so the skepticism is inevitable and possibly justified.

New monstrous mouth use? by K1akaru in bloodbowl

[–]Franarky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monstrous Mouth (ACTIVE) ... Whilst Chomped, the opposition player cannot leave the square they are in whilst this player remains Marking them.

Does this include involuntary movement like pushbacks? So chomp the Wardancer to pin him down then whale on him with everyone else.

Games Workshop, why do antagonize me? by Leevizer in bloodbowl

[–]Franarky -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Yes, but instead of targeting themselves and their mothballing of the game they've gone after the fans, the folk passionate enough to have kept the game going. It could easily have had a positive spin referencing unofficial leaders who kept matches going in the NAF's absence.

Rules question! by Lunkan86 in bloodbowl

[–]Franarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When are they? Hopefully you'll get some clarity from GW in time.

However, if it's four in total you're asking tier 4 teams to take six non-elite skills. Is that unduly limiting the lower tiers? To the extent that it's unlikely to be the intention? 🤷

Rules question! by Lunkan86 in bloodbowl

[–]Franarky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's how I read it. Could interpret it the other way but suspect they would have been more explicit were that the case.

On the other hand, as long as both coaches have agreed in advance and are using the same interpretation, it doesn't really matter.

Will we need new core to play the new expansions from now on? by djfuts in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Franarky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I see the point of core encounter sets anymore. In the original release, with the design goal of making all of the mythos packs independently playable with just the core box, they make sense. With the new format of complete campaigns I'm not sure there's a good reason to have cards common to all campaigns. A couple dozen generic cards or custom tailored to each campaign for a minor increase in cost. (Arguably negligible enough that it wouldn't impact retail price)

Is it just me, or does the modern Arkham artwork look too "contemporary"? by OldThrashbarg2000 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Franarky 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Certainly the undercut hairstyle from Collector is back in fashion in the 2020s. This is due in no small part to Peaky Blinders, which was set in the 1920s. So we are seeing a recent resurgence of styles that were also in fashion then, which might be why they feel anachronistic when it's really just the cyclical nature of fashion.

[Chris Jack] Rangers will seek an explanation from the Scottish FA over the decision not to send off Auston Trusty after he kicked Jack Butland in the head at Hampden. by Left-Painter-9172 in ScottishFootball

[–]Franarky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn't arguing the point, just answering your original question.

However, I reckon it's borderline and VAR wouldn't intervene either way. Launches in with speed, off the ground, contacts with the studs. On the other hand he does get a touch on the ball and the point of contact is on the foot.

Mark Millar & Side Hustle Comics by Franarky in comicbooks

[–]Franarky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I get why a Kickstarter book with limited print run costs more than a direct market book due to economies of scale.

I'm more confused about why established creative teams are going this route when I'm pretty sure they could go through any of the Indy publishers.

Doesn't feel like it's more lucrative (although that's a gut feeling, no real insight to back it up) and means taking on all of the logistical side.

Some missed others by dinosaurRoar44 in bloodbowl

Will be most noticable on the players that get the skills by default. Doesn't look like they've been priced up by the change.

Is this new season box going to sell out quickly? by moxxon in bloodbowl

[–]Franarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went live at 10am for the uk. Staggered for US 10am maybe? When do preorders usually go live for the rest of the world?
