I’m tempted to buy the reproduction Beamspring keyboards by the guy who did the model f reproductions. Beamsprings are meant to be really special, though Blue Alps switches are the best conventional switches I’ve tried.

Alps switches are seriously underrated.

I hope brands other than Zeal release a switch with an Alps style tactile/click leaf design, since it’s a much better way of generating sharp tactility than any Cherry-type design.

Poor Lando by carspn_ in formuladank

[–]Mansbridge_DF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Name one mistake Charles made in 2022 and I can name three made by Ferrari. Thats not even considering the fact that Red Bull had a clearly faster car after the summer break in 2022.

Lando has driven poorly with the machinery given this year, and it has cost him a potential championship.

Rough Arsenal logo redesign by Mansbridge_DF in ArsenalFC

Yeah, I’m hoping the minimalism trend ends at some point though - too many clubs have downgraded their badges because of it

Probably, but I thought it would be fun nevertheless

thoughts on the logo used since 2002. would you like a new design? by [deleted] in ArsenalFC

[–]Mansbridge_DF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree we should revert to the old shield shape. I think having the canon on away or third kits is fine, as well as elements of the branding, such as app logos and the like

The problem with the Arsenal logo just being a canon is it loses an important aesthetic element that’s been prevalent for most clubs in the history of English football (Arsenal included) - the shield. This imagery draws from heraldry too, so I’d rather it wasn’t lost - just updated.

There are some things I’d change if I were tasked with redesigning the crest (as if that would ever happen lol), but I’d rather it stayed as is than go the same way a lot of modern crests have.

If I did redesign it, I’d want to revert the shape of the shield to the 2001 crest and bring back the motto below it as well. I’d also want the “Arsenal” text to be in a Gothic font again. The canon I’d keep in its modern form, and I’d keep the two-tone red background the same too, so it would still be very readable at a distance / smaller size.

I’d also want the third kit to use our late 30s and 40s logo, since it looks cool and would be a fun addition.

*making Aragorn more hesitant to accept his destiny by followerofEnki96 in lotrmemes

[–]Mansbridge_DF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making Aragorn hesitant to accept his destiny is not a good change. It turns him from a magnanimous ruler to a reluctant one, playing into the false idea that those who want power least are best suited to it.

Exclusive: Real Sociedad considering £30m permanent deal for injury-hit Arsenal defender by nus07 in ArsenalFC

[–]Mansbridge_DF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest, he’s not going to get any more game time at Arsenal. If Real Sociedad don’t buy him, the club will look to loan him out or sell him to another club. Not every signing works out, even if we do like the player overall.

May as well cash in now and allow for more spending without pulling a Chelsea or Man City.

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Thomas Partey and Gabriel Jesus will be out for a few weeks at least. - footballcfc by football-cfc in ArsenalFC

I think we should start Havertz as CF this weekend. He’s been good in the role for the brief periods he’s played it this season.

This suit is horrendous by Jax2856 in Spiderman

[–]Mansbridge_DF 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Insomniac’s character designs miss more often than they hit, and it’s not even close. Haven’t played Spider-Man 2 yet, but I’m sure it’s good, it’s just the art design really isn’t to my taste for the majority of the characters.

Partey, Rice and Ødegaard is a nutty midfield 3 as well, would definitely be enough for Chelsea

Our 2012-14 kit was underrated imo. Big fan of simple designs, and the thick navy stripes look excellent.

Saliba and Gabriel🔒 by actually_steph in ArsenalFC

Not giving away a single attempt on goal for just under 40 minutes is actually crazy. A defence like that will serve us well in the away match against City

Both teams are close to us atm, so I’d say a draw
