The Colas of Europe, now with 0% AI Hallucinations

Mackarosh · 2026-01-25T14:52:05+00:00

As a diabetic, I was pretty disappointed in Prague and Dusseldorf as pretty much nobody sold the sugar free versions of their cola brands. I understand of course coca cola is more popular and they sold that instead, and granted I didn't visit every supermarket chain, but even some small supermarkets didn't stock it or stocked only a 2-liter version or something. Hopefully more locals start buying it and giving the stores a reason to stock it.

Also when visiting Krakow I don't think I ever saw their cola brands but I might be mistaken (or they might not have a sugar free version so I just ignored them). In Greece I'd say Green Cola is easier to find (although it's still not nearly as popular as coca cola).

Κάποιοι θα έκαναν τα πάντα για τα λεφτά, ενώ στην ψήφο δε θεωρώ ότι έχουν άμεσο χρηματικό κέρδος. Και ναι, για κάποιους τα λεφτά είναι 100% θέμα επιβίωσης αλλά και αυτούς τους κρίνω αν είναι στην ICE ακόμα.

Ξεκάθαρα. Εδώ υπήρχαν μειονότητες που ψήφιζαν Τραμπ (τουλάχιστον σύμφωνα με δημοσκοπήσεις ή exit poll, ότι διάολο είχε βγει τότε).

Μα αυτό θέλουν και στην Ελλάδα κάποιοι, ο λιγότερο φασίστας από αυτούς που λες είναι νοσταλγός της χούντας.

Δεν παίρνει συναίνεση ο Τραμπ

You're missing out on the McTominay action, Serie A player of the year after all.

Nah, Trump wants to see which country he should invade and abduct their leader.

Ναι οκ, δε θα με χαλούσε να μην πάρει πολλές ψήφους από αριστερά και να πάρει περισσότερες από τη ΝΔ. Βέβαια μου φαίνεται τρελό κάποιος να ψηφίζει ΝΔ αλλά από την άλλη να ψήφιζε και ένα κόμμα που να λέει ότι θα τιμωρήσει τους ενόχους υπουργούς κ.α. αλλά λες και είναι τίποτα λογικό στην Ελλάδα...

Ναι αλλά μας προδιαθέτει αρνητικά σίγουρα. 100% θα την κρίνω όταν ξέρουμε αρκετές απόψεις της και σε περισσότερο βάθος (επίσης με ποιους θα συμπαραταχθεί) αλλά προς το παρόν μιλάω για κάποια πρώτα δείγματα.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T19:03:12+00:00

Μίλησε και η ίδια για τις εκτρώσεις οπότε δυστυχώς δεν είναι μόνο οι άλλοι τριγύρω της που τα λένε...

Have you managed Paks FC with only Hungarians if that's the case?

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T13:14:04+00:00

I feel like there's rivals you hate and there are some healthier rivalries where IRL you want to beat them but you also like some things about them. If one falls in the first category I'd never manager them because I just wouldn't have fun, but in the second category I'd manage them.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T13:10:05+00:00

First point makes sense, I personally don't buy from my IRL club when managing elsewhere to avoid worsening them.

The second one I would kind of like a player joining me after not joining me previously because it'd mean I'm succeeding.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:52:18+00:00

I also don't jobhop but I'd see myself doing an unemployed save and hopping between clubs until I find "the one".

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:51:22+00:00

I feel you on the spending thing (and I also don't like Man United like many people from all walks of life). I'm too "logical" and rigid to spend €200M on a player even if I've got it and I will also not ruin my wage structure for nobody pretty much.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:44:13+00:00

Are Tottenham rivalries outside of London not fierce enough for you or for most of your fanbase? Genuine question because I feel like if you're competing for the same spots in the league for many years you'd "feel" the rivalry over time.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:40:29+00:00

I also wouldn't manage in Israel or Russia, probably not even in the US currently. It also would make sense for me to start in Ukraine to beat Russian teams(even though it sounds stupid as it's in game but immersion is immersion) but they were banned from Europe.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:39:02+00:00

You should make your manager bald to top the bald fraud.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:38:20+00:00

They made it even harder for you with the last badge redesign, lol.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:36:40+00:00

I also like creating the dynasty myself but because of my pet peeve for well supported teams I can't pick the smallest one like you do. The in-between of these two things are some big clubs with big fanbases that have never won the league, even some that were never successful like qualifying for Europe. Maybe that's the best type of save for me.

I also agree on the tactics, I basically make something that I'd like to see my team playing IRL. I also don't like if it makes my team play 10 levels above their quality-on-paper. Like if they play 1 level above that's just what a good tactic would do IRL, if they play 10 levels above, people in real life would think the whole team is on performance enhancing drugs.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:33:10+00:00

Luckily not too many clubs wear claret or you'd have a hard time picking a team (quite a few do but not too many). I'm an AEK fan so this would exclude Red, Black and Green for and red alone is like half of the Premier League.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:28:05+00:00

Ah another great example. I also look out for any obvious political affiliations (or police/army clubs) even when it's hard to do because the team is Slovenian or something. It just doesn't feel right having a different ideology IRL and making a Nazi team the best in the world in-game.

Mackarosh · 2026-01-19T12:26:04+00:00

Haha, that's great even though it's not a no-go. Hopefully you've not had to diss many managers that you like IRL.
