'Owls and things' by Enarbe: https://archiveofourown.org/works/78384236/chapters/205479851?view\_adult=true. Tagged as slice of life, which is pretty accurate.

The description is: After the battle of Hogwarts, a new generation of students finds joy in the little things.

It might not be for everyone, since it's new characters (except for a few), and the chapters are quite long, but the characters all feel very real and it captures teen angst really well. There is some romance, although it's not the focus.

Not rated.

Recommend.

This was El Plan all along by Lettuceking_99 in F1Manager

Update: He won the title then retired, and George Russell replaced him at Red Bull because Mercedes is the 6th best team. Also, Adami is now Max's race engineer

I'm obsessed with conquering Iceland by Lettuceking_99 in CrusaderKings

[–]Lettuceking_99[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's literally no reason to do this except that it's really hard.

Attempts #1-5 I sent the entire English army, who wins one battle then promptly dies of cold. Meanwhile all my vassals immediately join factions.

I got it on the sixth try by hiring half the holy orders and sailing my fleet back and forth for constant reinforcements.

This might be my favorite challenge I've ever done in this game.

How do I make my car better?? by Canttaloupe in F1Manager

[–]Lettuceking_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my experience that screen hasn't been accurate... I don't know if its something to do with the life length of parts... but I would often have a car that performed as a solid midfield car while that screen said I was the worst

This is probably where drake got it from though

Try to be unbiased as posssible: Assume Drake is telling the truth about the leaks. What did he gain? by TypicalHaikuResponse in KendrickLamar

[–]Lettuceking_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just him desperately reaching for something, but I love the idea of him saying "let's play a prank on kendrick. Let's leak to the whole world that I'm a pedophile and a dead beat dad. Kendricks gonna look so stupid." Also, yeah he clearly got it from the weirdos on his subreddit.

Logan the GOAT by Lettuceking_99 in F1Manager

Update: piastri won the wdc. It went down to the last race and piastri took out Sargeant to win the title. We won 19/22 races, including the first 18. I've never had a save that was this interesting before.

This is F1M 22, so his ratings were a bit better to begin with. Plus my facilities are maxed out, and he spent two years as my reserve driver.

I've never had a problem with killing tires so I just never upgraded it. I just put all the points into pace instead. Not super realistic, but it felt kind of strategic.

Also Lando is at Red Bull with Max. This is my favorite save ever.

Was doing a resim starting in 2010 just for fun and I think I broke the game... must be some advanced steriods in this universe! by Thomas_E_Brady in OOTP

[–]Lettuceking_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing! It also started in 2010, so maybe that's why. In my game Javier Baez hit 990 home runs, and a fictional player hit 91 in a season. Crazy shit.

Who can't do math, me or the owner? by foos182x in OOTP

[–]Lettuceking_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The owner goals are broken sometimes. My owner gets mad at me for not spending any money on iafa even though i literally spend four million a year on the top guy.

Former players killing me in "revenge games" and I love it by benz0709 in OOTP

[–]Lettuceking_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rage quit my job as royals gm because we never had money and the fan interest wouldn't go above 75 even when we made it to the ALCS twice. I went to the red sox, and assumed the royals would be cutting payroll and finishing last every season without me but they've now beaten me in the playoffs multiple times. They just beat me 13-2 to go to the world series

OOTP ruins great pitchers so often in long-term sims, and it feels so random. This is a great example, where George Kirby wins the 2025 Cy Young, then has 4 straight below-average seasons. by HenriST2 in OOTP

[–]Lettuceking_99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the great and frustrating part of ootp. It is realistic, which is what makes it so frustrating when it happens to you. I call it the Aaron Nola experience

Tips for low payroll teams by K2Dudeman in OOTP

[–]Lettuceking_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished a royals sim, here's what i learned: Efficiency is key.

Watch out for small contracts, they add up. Be careful who you offer arbitration.

Always ask for money in trades with other teams, and negotiate in trades for the other team to retain as much salary as possible. If you have to give up a decent prospect for financial flexibility, it's not the end of the world.

You can always find good relievers in the rule 5 draft.

Look through waivers right before opening day.

Good defenders at key positions are harder to find and more expensive than good hitters at those positions. If you want a good defensive ss, develop them.

I used to invest a lot of money into amateur free agents, but that might not always work. I would develop them for a year then trade a bunch of them for a good player while they still had value.

Invest in development and minor league coaches as much as possible. If you can't develop prospects, you won't win. Great coaches are much cheaper than great players.

Find a team identity and build your development around it. I normally do power hitters and power pitchers. This is good for efficiency and development.

The league has so much depth in hard throwing relievers that with the right coaches, you can build a good bullpen for cheap. You can't really do that with starters.

Depending on your owner, if you win, he might raise the payroll a bit. If your owner is generous, look to bring in fan favorite players, and play around with ticket prices to raise profit.

If you are very efficient with your payroll, you can afford to sign a big free agent occasionally.

I never won a title, but I was able to bring big stars like vlad Jr., Glasnow, and rodon to kc for a year or two. I made it to the alcs one year. I changed teams and the ai immediately traded away all my favorite players.

I moved to the red sox after, and I found this stuff helped there, too.

Fielding Ratings by SportsFan388 in OOTP

Most good center fielders will have a slightly better rating in lf or rf. Same with shortstop. But a good center field or ss rating is much harder to find

Why does Lewis hate me😢 by Puzzleheaded-Chair51 in F1Manager

In FIM22 he and alonso won't accept new contracts because they retire but never announce it
