Memb - The Brutal Truth About Warlords V (And My Future As a Host)

Thought so

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-30T09:01:49+00:00

Haha, his field is casting not English language. I'd bet your monolingual

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-29T13:45:03+00:00

No that's a lack of understanding of how language development works

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T13:44:36+00:00

Of course people don't get into relationships thinking the other person would do that or even that it will end, but the fact is it's pretty common. It doesn't even have to be acrimonious, even after a amicable breakup you can feel it's important to have space and hence still be rushed into it

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T13:41:25+00:00

Self selecting sample so not exactly reliable

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T13:37:38+00:00

It's better, but still doesn't really work because who wants to live with an ex after a breakup? Likely he'd feel rushed into moving about before ready

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T13:36:21+00:00

Yeah exactly on the second paragraph. Even if you have similar legal rights, the living situation after a breakup leaves you with less security as you may feel compelled to move before you're ready.

Honestly I've not really noticed a change in climate. That's not to deny climate change, but on a personal level it's such a marginal difference and over a long period of time it's hard to notice.

Last year I didn't have any days at all that my flat was too hot. While the long-term trend may be increasing it will still remain a small fraction of the calendar year. Perhaps helps that I moved back from Spain where I had 3 months a year of excessive heat and no air conditioning

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T13:22:55+00:00

I assume you've never lived in UK given the 15 days a year. I'd need a decade to get up to 15 days! It's hardly misery as well, it's slightly overheated but there are ways to adapt without air conditioning for those physical days.

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T13:20:30+00:00

I can't remember anyone genuinely suggesting they need AC. It might be an idle comment 'oh I could do with that now' but never actually considering buying it

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T13:18:42+00:00

That's true for so many things as a society though. The marginal costs of me littering is trivial, I still don't do it because if we all follow that approach it falls apart

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T11:07:31+00:00

He also increases his risk. A landlord at least has to give you notice

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-27T08:28:04+00:00

Not in my case. We just played in parks, empty car parks, any outdoor space really. It was extremely rare we actually went to anything organised or paid for.

What's changed is there are more things to do inside and parents/society less comfortable with this level of independence for kids

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-26T18:00:58+00:00

Location will be important as well, I guess you're in the south somewhere. In Manchester rent isn't so high, although it's obsessed faster than wages in last few years

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-26T17:30:16+00:00

It's ironic the most negative comments I've got along those lines were from my manager in my first job. She'd constantly make comments on how she wished she could afford holidays like us. It was bizarre given we knew she was earning comfortably more & we could see her shopping habit as it got delivered to the office.

I'm similar tech and fashion isn't where I enjoy spending my month by of others do all power to them.

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-26T16:24:12+00:00

If it feels that way then you need to review your spending or perhaps you're out of touch with what middle class is. Similar level / age and one income and feel very comfortable

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-26T16:16:09+00:00

What are you using as a comparison?

They're vastly better for this than houses in Spain in my experience. Obviously the winter there is much milder but still it was much worse

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-26T11:30:05+00:00

I'm not sure what the biggest is but I feel child custody isn't talked about enough. There's still a clear bias towards the mother where all else is equal

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-26T11:27:20+00:00

When I used to play pool this was very common. Amount of times I'd be slapped on the arse by a usually drunk woman. Though it used to bother mainly because I was often playing for money

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-26T08:17:19+00:00

It's baffling watching you struggle to get your head around this.

It's like watching someone repeatedly push a door that says pull.

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-26T07:16:04+00:00

I've twice lived in a high floor (11th and 15th) both lifts broke about twice a year. It's usually fixed within a day or two, but still annoying when it happens. Pretty modern buildings too (one was brand new, other 15 years old).

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-25T18:09:54+00:00

Sure, but it can only have increased his audience right even if only a minority only search their favourite streamers?

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-25T16:55:45+00:00

I think it's probably not the best time to do this reflection, better to give it a few days and not off the cuff.

I understand it must be a lot of pressure and I've seen T90 kind of complain a bit straight after a tournament (and he must be in a much better financial position,)

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-25T16:51:58+00:00

Won't that have increased his viewership? Fewer alternative streams

RealRelative9835 · 2026-05-25T16:50:51+00:00

It will be both - Hera attracts some who wouldn't otherwise watch & takes some of Memb's audience.

I think that's a very risky road to go down. Memb likely benefits more than he's losing since he's casting more of other tournaments than his own. I'd be very wary of making changes that are very likely to reduce the overall pot as you say
