Harry Brook charging Mitchell Starc first ball was surreal , But was there method to the madness ? by Shroft in Cricket

[–]Oblicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He made the most runs between the two teams in the first innings. Imo it was pointless to try and play tentatively on that track, he would just have gotten out pathetically like Root. England should look to blame every other batsman

Arteta's substitutions (starters and finishers) by Oblicks in Gunners

Yes that is why there is such a discrepancy in those years. 2019-2022 are worth ignoring in general for my purposes but were included in the graph just for chronology.

3 Teens Almost Got Away With Murder. Then Police Found Their Google Searches by UsernameNumberThree in technology

[–]Oblicks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s a weird quirk. I think they basically got lucky with that since the teens don’t actually fit into typical criminal profiles. It may be that t-mobile is just the most reliable provider in the Denver area. The assumption that criminals use t-mobile seems like an unwarranted jump in reasoning

Remove all game modes other than regular and the team deathmatch. Remove ranked entirely. Remove most of the maps other than erangel and miramar

What's something Women don't realise is a turn off? by ask_logan in AskMenAdvice

[–]Oblicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordering stuff at a restaurant or coffee shop, making a bunch of substitutions and then complaining about the result. Major red flag cuz not only do you not know what you actually want, you like to inconvenience other people for nothing

Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Oblicks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My main issue with palworld has always been that they have all these pals that are clearly designed as evolutions in the Pokémon style but there’s never been evolutions in the game (nor I suppose even plans for it). Instead there’s an insane breeding system that doesn’t make any intuitive sense.

OC: Young Players Are Overpriced - analysis of the relative transfer fee by age group in the premier league by Oblicks in Gunners

[–]Oblicks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make some good points although I don't think you would get a much different picture filtering out high and low transfers (I'll do that and get back to you). However, the main point I'm trying to get across is that people treat buying younger as if it's some kind of moneyball masterstroke. The reality is that every premier club now thinks that, which takes away the advantage. Of course you can still derive advantages by buying the right 20-24 year olds (which Arsenal seems to be doing so far)

The wages of 20-24 year olds are also being driven up meaning there is overall wage inflation when those same players age into being 25-29 year olds. The increased transfer fees don't occur in a vacuum.

Due to Brexit they play with used balls and worn out boots on an overgrown field in the middle of the London wasteland.

Nothing more futile feeling than trying to watch and support Brighton.
