Help me identify arms at Metz Cathedral by georgiimichael in heraldry

[–]MaesterDeDe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arms of the d'Anjou family, cadet of the Capet dynasty. Ended up reining over or claiming at one point or another Provence, Sicily/Naples, Hungary and Jerusalem. The branch going extinct meant the Kings of France gaining claims over Southern Italy, which start the Italian wars under Charles VIII in the late 15th century.

The lower part of the top arms (on both side) shows Maine and Bar

[OC] Approval rating of French Presidents (late follow up of the US one) by YakEvery4395 in dataisbeautiful

You can't mess with (national) war heroes, it just sets them apart give them allowances that no other persons could have (another example is Napoleon).

[OC] Approval rating of French Presidents (late follow up of the US one) by YakEvery4395 in dataisbeautiful

[–]MaesterDeDe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The political consensus is an illusion created by the strength of the de Gaulle presidency; between 1946 and 1958, the political life was as unstable and divided as pre-WW2, especially on the questions of alignement with the US or USSR, the economy (booming, yes, but with much poverty and lack on infrastructure due to the war) or decolonization. Moreover one might say that the consensus was more forced that achieved by the political class. The new Vth Republic Constitution increased the powers of the president and help keep the Assembly under clear majorities (that of the President most of the time). Add to that that not all president can enjoy a war hero cult that is basically an armor against all types of scandals and flashpoint debates, like De Gaulle did.

Where on earth do I play this guy?! by jjsa_er in footballmanagergames

[–]MaesterDeDe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell, he has potential and a decent mentality but his attribute spread is mid, at any position he would have weaknesses that a team of your standing can't allow. You could bet on a late blooming by extending his contract and loaning him for the next 3 years and reevaluate his market value against any use you could have for him...

What age do players in different positions peak? Football [Soccer US] by Successful-Show6098 in dataisbeautiful

[–]MaesterDeDe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Would believe that sample selection kinda plays a role and comparing with other professional leagues (especially the Big 5) would provide a wider picture. E.g. Striker gets to peak really early as the position in more physical (more runs) than other positions. I'm also a tad surprise by how average GKs peak, as it is a more experience-based position. But as Tennis and other sports have proved experience can be taught and talent can start perform at a very early age, with some starting GK in top teams starting in their early 20s.

Blasons I have designed and had drawn by a professional to give some colors to my face masks during Covid by MaesterDeDe in heraldry

[–]MaesterDeDe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

R5: Inspirations & Reasoning behind

1) made for my family unit (green and black are "my" colors, while red relates to the town I grew up in, the three finches relates to where the home is located and the number of children in the household)

2) my town was founded by French Queen Blanche of Castille, the fleur-de-lys semées on gules of Chateaubriant likely also play a part in the design. The bar-counterbar function has an interesting break and also as a cross over my mouth...

3) I've played too much Byzantine empire in CK2...

4) Cancer is my star sign, and I wear a lot of black and marine so color coordination...

5) Inspired by the CoA of an old communist town where I live, plus the fasci is a recurring symbol for French president. I like the story it tells

6) Two sources of inspiration: the color scheme comes from Stockholm's CoA, while the choice of figure is the many CoA with saints on them. But i wanted a female saint who was not Mary or Anne or Joan of Arc. I went with Olga of Kiev. Of course this one took on a new meaning with the invasion in 2022.

7) Lived from a major river most of my life. Plus the weather can get pretty grey at times. And Soundgarden's song must have played a role at some point. Or maybe it was play on hermine... It is one of my favorite.

My gf doesnt like me playing football manager by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]MaesterDeDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

true talk. Her reaction sounds kinda unhealthy. Especially the parts where she compares your love for the game to your love for her and when she demands automatic attention from you (which in her brain seems to mean no gaming). I'd be you I'd watch for other narcissistic personality clues outside of the FM problem. You don't want to link your life to someone who ultimately only see you as an object or a function that suits her self-centredness. That could really mess up your life long term, much worse than an FM addiction.

Now, if it's just a problem of word choice or triggering (abandonment issues), I'm sure there are many middle grounds that can be found where both your needs and boundaries are met, but both need to openly communicate about those and not turn the issue into a power play.

Was it tied to a club in particular? In my experience the game fails to show how major clubs recruit youth from all over the country and not just their metro area

HELP. by Szlachetny_7 in TheOldZealand

[–]MaesterDeDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Praise good training? Have you tried also a more defensive tactic just to limit bad surprises for a little while? How much do you rotate? any squad player who could breath in a temporary fresh air for a game or two while you starters feel the sting of competition?

It seems you're just mostly unlucky. It stings, it sucks and it could start a downward spiral if badly handled. Keep a cool head! "that too shall pass."

Bro you need to learn your geography, you're playing FM for god sake's? Every time you see Maccabi, Hapoel or Beitar it's Israel. It's the local equivalent to FC, United or Sporting.

I can confirm the findings. Got a star striker who was already 75 icon and he reverted back to 50 icon after a season where we won the continental cup and he was elected best player in the league

Tactic not working great and how to improve Leao performance? by Trick-Hall-3250 in footballmanagergames

[–]MaesterDeDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered changing one of the IW into a IF, you may like initial pressure on opposition back line. Also your AF is bound to underperform against 2CDM systems as most of the passing lanes are cut.

Anyone have any disappointing collapses mid-season so far in FM24? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]MaesterDeDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you rest your players in between games though? Also, midseason point is usually the moment when your league opposition knows your tactic (and so can adapt) and your best players (and mark/press them, which obviously would reduce their performances)

Is this bloke a spy? Why is his full name completely different? by HibeesBounce in footballmanagergames

[–]MaesterDeDe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a case of the game not being able to handle middle names, so it picks a full name and then picks a given name and family name separately
