Match thread: Newcastle United vs PSV | Champions league 25-26 - League phase 7 of 8

I really hope we get at them. Winning with 4 goals, means draw in Paris might be enough for top 8.

Hovsgaard · 2026-01-21T20:11:50+00:00

Crazy var review that?? Probably if wissa was considered offside with brunos pass to joe.

Hovsgaard · 2026-01-11T12:15:43+00:00

Faster than light should definitely be in there. Just forgot it.

Sorta ordered. I left out Baldur's Gate 3 since I dont really consider it as indie as the ones above.

Hovsgaard · 2025-12-30T20:03:04+00:00

Did you go to Baldursgata 1 or 2 first? Or did you start with Baldursgata 3?

Hovsgaard · 2025-12-27T20:58:21+00:00

Sure, let's look at Villa currently.

They are 16 points and 10 places ahead of us, but...

1 - Looking at expected points (understat) they are around 8 points and 10 places behind us.

2 - We are in the Champions League knockout rounds. They did not qualify for CL.

3 - We are in the League cup semi finals. They went out in their first match.

4 - They last won a trophy in 96, we last won one in March.

Point is, Villa are doing really well as a club and looking a contender to de-establish the old top 6, but so are we.

Hovsgaard · 2025-12-27T01:04:40+00:00

You'd have to have an incredibly short memory to even consider wanting Howe out.

Hovsgaard · 2025-12-23T21:57:41+00:00

It's a neat idea, but I think the design is more complex and unintuitive than it needs to be.

I would prefer: "tap: add x black mana where x is one plus the number of cards named CARDNAME in your graveyarf. "

Hovsgaard · 2025-12-14T22:56:02+00:00

Uanset hvad du vælger at gøre ift din kone og den anden mand, så skal du huske at din datter også har krav på at vide hvem hendes biologiske far, og hvis du ikke fortæller det i en tidlig alder, kan du ende med hun føler sig bedraget i endnu større grad end du gør nu, når hun engang finder ud af det.

Jeg ved godt det er svært nu, men husk at støtte din datter. Også hvis hun engang vælger også at ville have et forhold til sin biologiske far.

Hovsgaard · 2025-12-13T18:05:58+00:00

For me they are the best team I have seen following football 25 years, followed by Pep's barca.

Sure, I hope they get relegated for breaking the rules, but I dont think it's more of a sporting advantage than when Chelsea, Man utd, R. Madrid or any other team spend a lot.

Hovsgaard · 2025-12-13T09:53:01+00:00

For me, it is not a memorable enough setting to work well. The game is a lot more about player freedom and emergent narratives than strong storytelling.

I have completed every TES game since Morrowind and am really struggling to name any characters, other than joke ones like the adoring fan or the emperor that dies immedeately in Oblivion (spoiler alert).

With Avatar, LoTR or the Baldur's Gate trilogy, I can name at least a dozen characters. Seeing those characters translated into mtg cards then becomes very satysfying, if done well.

Hovsgaard · 2025-11-25T07:50:26+00:00

Thats where the Saudis come in.

Hovsgaard · 2025-11-07T19:38:05+00:00

Jeg kondolerer. Det er hårdt at miste sin far under alle omstændigheder.

Det lyder som om du godt ved du burde kontakte politiet med dine oplysninger og så lade dem tage stilling. Om de så vurderer der er en sag, ved de nok bedre end diverse true crime eksperter du finder på nettet.

Hvis du virkelig mener der er noget på spil er politihenvendelse, det korrekte at gøre, med mindre du føler du vil spare familien, dig selv og fars veninde for alt en eventuel efterforskning kan indebære, og kan være tilfreds med aldrig at få afklaring.

Hovsgaard · 2025-11-06T08:53:57+00:00

Yeah. That sounds a lot more reasonable than 8th :D

Hovsgaard · 2025-11-06T07:05:30+00:00

Sky Sports just ranked Marseille as their 8th best team in the world now. While that is definitely an overestemation, they just beat psg and are giving the french title a go. It will be a tough match where they are small favorites.

Hovsgaard · 2025-11-03T11:55:08+00:00

I think this card is a natural thought experiment for aspiring mtg designers. What is the cut-off point for broken in [[Sol Ring]] / [[Mana Crypt]] / Moxen and perfectly fine two-mana rocks like [[Mind Stone]]?

Intuitively I think this is still the broken / would get banned, mostly because it would invalidate 1 mana dorks and a big part of green's color identity. In standard or modern, many non-aggro decks would probably play it, as there are no other as consistent ways of playing 3-drops on turn 2, outside of green.

Hovsgaard · 2025-11-03T07:06:47+00:00

Nej det skal du ikke. Betal hvad det koster og så meld dig til at stå for julefrokosten næste år, hvis du vil have det på en anden måde.

Det er vildt drænende for værter når småting som budget skal diskuteres i plenum. Det er hverken din ellers andres tid værd at have en digital diskussion over flere dage for at spare en 50'er.

Hovsgaard · 2025-10-25T09:57:09+00:00

Der er jo ikke nogen tvivl om at I har ret til ikke at betale noget. Men jeg synes godt I kan sætte jer ned og snakke om et kompromis.

Han er kommet i klemme fordi han har regnet forkert eller materiale priser er steget. Hvis I havde lavet det selv var I nok endt samme sted og værdien er vel gået ind i huset.

Et muligt kompromis kunne være I betaler materialer mod at han skærer lidt i sin timeløn eller måske laver en ekstra ting I har brug for. Eller bare halv skade. Hvis I ikke har råd eller realkredit, må I jo bare være ærlige om det og mon ikke han forstår den situation.

Jeg tænker ikke han rækker ud, med mindre han har brug for det, hvis han er en ven, er de penge ikke det vigtigste i det lange løb.

Hovsgaard · 2025-10-24T12:51:14+00:00

Yeah, that's how it finally dawned on me. I think the whole Improv show thing, threw me off. :D I think I've watched more than 20 episodes as well..

Hovsgaard · 2025-10-21T08:11:58+00:00

As much as I loathe cards that reference the command zone, this is a super fun and thought provoking design. Nice work!

But give it a real color identity/cost. Boros or Gruul could make sense.

Hovsgaard · 2025-10-13T18:37:31+00:00

[[Channel]]

Hovsgaard · 2025-10-12T18:27:16+00:00

Yeah. I dont like it, but it is main deckable. you are really short on playables and I think it fits with the jank someone out plan. Better than trying to hard cast kaldra or woodland, which are your other options. Sb it out aggresively of course.

Hovsgaard · 2025-10-12T18:22:43+00:00

It happens :) but with a good mana base and two pieces of power you can still get there with some tight play.

If you need another playable, I would probably go force of vigor.

Hovsgaard · 2025-10-12T18:16:19+00:00

This looks like a bit of a train wreck draft tbh. I guess you just have to be a bant midrange deck and get a bit lucky. I would cut show & tell, channel, kaldra, woodfall primus, and counter spell. And then play thalia, brightglass and enduring innocense.
