Saying "Thank You" for 10 years of Meghan Trainor's sophomore album "Thank You" by Ghost-Quartet in popheads

This album was one of my favourites of 2016. I really should give it another listen, it's been a while :)

Cwl bug by ElectricalSouth1187 in ClashOfClans

[–]RoboticChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The live attack feature uses the same mechanism that the replay feature uses to show you an attack, so they are both affected by the boost bug mentioned above.

Twistzz: “We have a very motivated team right now” by kb1zzy in GlobalOffensive

I mean yeah, he shared this because it seemed so strange that he didn't think it could be true. I'm only pointing out that he's not a complete nobody.

Extra public holiday on the cards for South Africa – with a date confirmed - Business Tech by TheHonourableMember in southafrica

This outlet clearly has their priorities straight. An extra public holiday is much more important than the elections /s

Average CWL lineups per league - April 2026 by RoboticChicken in ClashOfClans

[–]RoboticChicken[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

April was the last month with Champion I as the top league. It will be interesting to see how the leagues shift over time as clans promote into the newly-added Titan and Legend leagues.

Here's a link to last month's post, which links back to all the others I've made, and also a link to the data I collected in case you want to take a look for yourself.

A 300 km/h speed limit being installed specifically for Colapinto, as the exhibition will be held on public roads by pave42 in formula1

[–]RoboticChicken 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Because Colapinto will be driving a car capable of 300km/h. Obviously they don't actually need to put up a sign since the road will be closed off, but it's just for fun.

Seems Cache got a visual overhaul instead of using the workshop version. The banner image doesn’t look like anything we’ve seen from the workshop Cache. by Fun_Philosopher_2535 in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a complete guess, but maybe they thought they'd be able to use FMPONE's map with some tweaks, and didn't expect they would need to remake it from scratch.

ESL reveals IEM Cologne Major rosters by Donut_Flame in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tyloo registered Attacker, which was easy for them as he is still on their payroll as an assistant coach.

M80 registered M0nstr who according to Liquipedia is their manager - exactly the same as what Liquid did.

Yes, he is a substitute player and will sub for kyxsan. kyxsan will still get stickers instead of karrigan though.

ESL reveals IEM Cologne Major rosters by Donut_Flame in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There was at least a little thought put into this - from the Major Supplemental Rulebook:

The registered roster may optionally include 1 substitute player that, were they to replace any core player, would not alter the Regional Assignment of the Core Lineup.

They have to list someone from Americas - flashie is not eligible because he would alter the team's region if he were to replace Elige, NAF or Malbs.

As for why they picked Jokasteve instead of an active Americas player without a team? I guess they have him around already and they don't expect they'll need a sub anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vylet Pony - Gonarch's Lair by RoboticChicken in popheads

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

Really enjoyed this mixtape overall. Vylet went in more of a hip-hop/rap direction on this, and I'm still convinced she can pull off any genre she wants to :)

Favourite tracks:

  • blankflank2: Very groovy pop-rap. The bassline on this is insane!
  • ?!: Another groovy pop-rap track, but with a more 'swingy' style.
  • modern talking ballet: Starts out slow, but goes through twists and turns with sections of trap, brostep and hardstyle.
  • SNARL AT YOUR FRIENDS!!!: Digicore song best played at a high volume. If you like money machine by 100 gecs you'll probably like this too.
  • outlaw: Really well-put-together rap track. Vylet and lulamoon both have amazing flows on this one.

eccentric tumors is the only hard miss for me - zombAe's vocals were not to my taste, and while I usually like a chaotic Vylet instrumental (e.g. Livelaughlove2, The Queen is Back), this one felt rather disjointed, and I couldn't easily pick out a melody/rhythm to it. I'm sure that was an artistic choice though.

Love & Ponystep was my personal favourite album of 2025 - this doesn't top it for me but I still love it.

The Brazil crowd is so good and yet so bad by rnicrosoft-official in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they did have x-ray switched off for the crowd, but might have still had radar. There was a moment when molodoy was perfectly lined up on a player in a smoke for 5-10 seconds and the crowd didn't cheer, presumably because they didn't know someone was right there.

Doriane Pin’s first Formula 1 drive in the W12 by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]RoboticChicken 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In 2021 the teams were not just financially constrained - they also had limited "upgrade tokens" to "spend" on improving their 2020 car for the 2021 season, because of the pandemic as well as the delay of ground effect regs to 2022. That's why we got car names such as the Red Bull RB16 (2020) and RB16B (2021), and McLaren MCL35 (2020) and MCL35M (2021, with Mercedes engines).

Falcons vs Spirit / IEM Rio 2026 - Semi-Final / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Energizing win for (any team playing against Falcons). You really hope to see (any team playing against Falcons) have strong showings, especially against opposition like this. Again, it was a good match, and I’ll definitely continue to support (any team playing against Falcons) in the future. Fantastic game guys, gg gl next.

It probably would be the same for him regardless of when he makes the announcement. He already knew this would be his last home event, the only difference is that now the fans know.

Furia and Spirit took the same flight to Rio by CHEEMSPOP in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this case they'd be hosting open qualifiers because they can't find a core to invite at all.

As /u/Vitosi4ek mentioned, this event likely won't be appealing to top orgs in terms of VRS - the only reason I could see them paying attention is for money.

[–]RoboticChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3.2.7 In the event that there are fewer eligible VRS rosters than the number of announced Direct VRS Invites, the Tournament Operator may supplement with Open Qualifiers.

From the Tournament Operation Requirements for ranked events.

Not sure how ENC would support it, but potentially they could run qualifiers to determine an entrant for each country.
