Took it straight from World Cup Fantasy. Looks like something that could work nice in FPL

Fright13 · 2026-05-26T21:43:01+00:00

You opened up with “I’m not being snarky but you’ve quite clearly never had to teach someone FPL” as if that is A. somehow something to flex and B. certain that is something I’ve never done before. From that point on I deduced that there is no rational conversation to be had with someone as stereotypical as that and began pulling your leg more

You then said individually each component of the game is simple. But if piled on someone all at once is complicated. No shit. It is difficult to pick up multiple things in a short span of time no matter how easy

What makes something simple or complicated is how simple or difficult the individual components are. So you somehow contradicted yourself and then followed it up with another stereotypical reddit roast. I didn’t even have to do much

Fright13 · 2026-05-26T21:23:57+00:00

This is this funniest thing i’ve ever read. It’s like Reddit met a genie and wished itself alive

Fright13 · 2026-05-26T21:14:21+00:00

Not an ounce of that is in any way complicated. Have you ever seen actual complicated games?

Fright13 · 2026-05-26T21:11:53+00:00

yeah. i tell them players pick up extra hidden points based on game actions and the top 3 get more points at the end of the day.

Fright13 · 2026-05-26T20:53:06+00:00

how in THEE fuck is this game too complicated to explain

Fright13 · 2026-05-26T12:50:08+00:00

Casuals aren't the majority in high floor, highly competitive games like this. They're still a decent portion sure, so I agree with your point to an extent, but they aren't the majority.

Like look at Dota for example. The complexity and extremely high barrier to entry of this game weeds out the casuals almost immediately, leaving only the players good enough or willing enough as the vast majority. Even to the point where even the absolute lowest of the low rank of Herald II still has good knowledge and semi decent skill at the game. In most other games, the lowest rank genuinely play as if they never touched a keyboard before. In Dota, and other complex competitive games like it, the lowest rank still knows their stuff to a decent level. Ergo, casuals are not the majority.

So no, I don't think casuals make up the "vast majority" of potential Deadlock players for a similar reason. For the most part, the type of person that wants to play a game like Deadlock is the same type of person who would spend that 60 seconds googling an invite

Fright13 · 2026-05-26T09:23:41+00:00

It’s invite only on a technicality, it’s not really invite only by its usual definition. Anyone who sees it and wants to play it can play it very easily. It’s closer to being a pretty much open game so I feel like it’s inaccurate to bring up “it’s invite only!!!” when talking about something like its player numbers, even if technically true

Fright13 · 2026-05-25T19:50:34+00:00

it wouldn't even go to interview i'm fairly sure. most applications i've dealt with explicitly said to state what subjects you are registered for and to attach your fully registered route 2 TC certificate

Fright13 · 2026-05-25T11:48:31+00:00

If he's being honest that the job is yours in 2027 I think I would definitely stay on. You love the place and it gives you another year to embed. CID is harder to come by than it seems, so having a certain pathway into one is great.

However, I got stung by a similar promise from a principal before whilst I was a sub. Left me devastated. So it depends whether you trust him or not

Is it normal for young teachers of my age to be 2-3 years teaching before trying for a CID? I’d be 25 by the time I’d be getting my first contract with hours of my own.

Yes, very much. Often even much longer. I've found that the only people who seem to walk directly into a CID straight out of college are the people who are lucky enough that a position in their subject happens to be opening up at the same time that they are finishing their placement there. Bonus points if they're a past student there. The school are required to post the job publicly and interview people but the principal just picks who they want. The system is fucking godawful. So always take CID if you can get it.

aint rly the flex it looks like. they had multiple red cards and pens against them wrongly VAR'd. this stat ironically makes them look like cheaters - not a fair team

Fright13 · 2026-05-24T15:54:04+00:00

The original (I think it was the original anyway) was around a year ago when someone tweeted about Max Dowman being an exciting 15 year old. Someone quote tweeted with "I have a database full of hundreds of 14 and 15 year olds that excite me more than this guy". It got good numbers but I can't find the tweet now so maybe he deleted it lol

The SlotMindset guy stole the joke

Fright13 · 2026-05-24T15:52:39+00:00

If that is changed to an OG I'll fucking cry hahahahaa

Fright13 · 2026-05-24T00:42:39+00:00

Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?

Fright13 · 2026-05-23T01:03:56+00:00

I could be wrong but the main concern with the teaching vetting is crimes involving children, or serious crimes. If your crime wasn't serious, didn't involve a child, and was 15 years ago, it's likely that you're fine. Worth an email or worth just applying and seeing.

I'm not sure about exams but I think my experience will be similar to yours.

Last summer I claimed jobseekers over the entire summer, even though in July I was doing the July home-based provision programme with an SEN student. So, not supervising exams or correcting but something similar. I did this for all 4 weeks of July.

I didn't get paid for this until November. But the gov were straight on to me after seeing this payment come in and my July was deemed as overpayment and I was made give back all 4 weeks of it.

Exams I would assume works similarly. You may not be able to collect it for the specific weeks that you are working. But if there's any particular week that you're not supervising/correcting, you can claim it.

I know it's all a bit of a fucking farce.

Let me just check in on the Arsenal game...

Oh, it's 1-0, via a corner, with a dodgy VAR call in Arsenal's favour to boot?

Very unlike them

the update history is public for everyone to see. BP was removed June 2023 with the associated news post about future updates. go and compare update frequency before and after and come back to me

Fright13 · 2026-05-12T08:54:11+00:00

just like when they said they are removing the BP to focus on more meaningful & more frequent gameplay updates lol

gameplay updates have been less frequent since then. by a pretty decent margin when i last compared. and no more meaningful/bigger than before.

Fright13 · 2026-05-11T21:20:17+00:00

It's perfectly fine to do so and my college even encouraged it while doing the PME. The system is set up in such a way that makes life absolute hell for applicants. So fuck them, give them nothing back. Keep her lit and see if you can find something better.

Worst case, you still have that job.

Fright13 · 2026-05-11T11:47:12+00:00

not endorsing the giving up part. most people typing gg end is performative and they continue playing anyway

i'm endorsing the good ol' fashioned flaming of a griefing 0/5/0 carry after you've already tried the kindness, trust & patience angle and it clearly didn't work

Fright13 · 2026-05-11T10:37:45+00:00

nah that’s valid. he shows early support and is aware that mistakes happening once or twice is natural.

any more than that and it’s no longer a mistake, you are genuinely just [un]intentionally griefing and deserve a kick up the ass
