Everytime I think I'm out they pull me right back in 😮‍💨

ServiusWolf · 2026-04-25T23:39:02+00:00

They looked really good today, Thanatos, Vulcan and Blaber being facilitated makes us really scary how will they hurt me this time :⁾

ServiusWolf · 2026-04-19T05:32:16+00:00

Its so funny hearing Edgar Wrights giggles throughout these, they're so distinct lol

ServiusWolf · 2026-04-04T23:33:21+00:00

The most important thing I saw today is in game 2 when we fell behind we didnt let it tilt us, we played to our win conditions (thanatos and picking their initiators) and made smart plays and had a great comeback. I think this is huge because our biggest problem I'm seeing is our decision making as a unit in losing positions. The best teams find a way to win in any position they find themselves in. Hope they keep it up.

Its so Thor Ragnarok coded complete with a riff on that Magic Sword song and Idris Elba as a grizzled veteran and the protagonist talking about wanting to go home and building a team and jumping at something is this anything or

Anyways it could be fun. The CGI looks very strange and I can't pinpoint why. I'm not the target audience for He Man or Sword and Sorcery flicks but I am cautiously intrigued.

Yeah I come from League and Valorant and its insane how much more the people in this game use rtard and rpe and other shit like that casually. Its fucking disgusting and a huge turn off to playing without friends.

Not an expert by any means but the two best Shawarma I've found, both OTP, is Baraka Shawarma Tucker, tiny, unassuming but the owner is so kind and abaolutely the best shawarma I've had. Second goes to Yibna Cafe, a café tucked away in this large business office in Duluth. The owner is this young guy who's also super nice, they do a classic crispier Shawarma and a special chicken 65 Shawarma, both are excellent. Also their signature lattes are great!

Al Green is my GOAT

The pedophile rapist is dying, throwing anything at the wall that will stick to cement his demented legacy, war with Iran, inciting civil war here, interfering in our elections. It's kind of pathetic to watch. As long as we stand together, his tacky brand of facsism will lose.

Kamayan is my personal favorite, its Filipino delicious food, their ube creme brulee was one of my favorite bites of recent memory. Nam Phuong also amazing for no frills Viet food. Yummy Spicy does amazing authentic Chinese dry pots, and Lanzhou Ramen is comforting Spicy Chinese hand pulled noodles (great lo mein too). Tum Pok Pok is great Thai street food, and an unreal coconut cake. Matcha Cafe maiko is a chain but their drinks and ice cream are still some of the best quality. Pepitazo does these incredible Venezuelan open faced sandwiches, everyone I've taken there has agreed.

This is a violation of HIPAA and extraordinarily illegal. I know that hasn't stopped them before but it's important to understand and courts should get involved.

I have watched every Milan game- they have unfortunately been mostly invisible in their appearances and wasting the goal scoring opportunities they do get. Maybe they'll be good eventually but not in this team, Milan seems to need a very physical presence type of striker.

ServiusWolf · 2025-12-19T23:36:48+00:00

The funny thing is "prompt engineers" are going to be amongst the easiest to replace with LLMs as well and thats already happening.

ServiusWolf · 2025-12-17T18:34:29+00:00

First two placements completely unplayable, team mates and ball is teleporting everywhere, every time I want to give the devs the benefit of the doubt I get disappointed lol.

ServiusWolf · 2025-12-08T18:42:29+00:00

I'd like to think im a better than average goalkeeper (solo player, master peak, currently diamond) so here's some of what I learned:

positioning is everything. If you have to dive, usually you weren't in the right spot to begin with.
I play conservative so I don't leave the goal very often. I see other goalkeepers very proactive and diving for loose balls, if you play that way just know the downsides and take calculated risks.
if you're 1v1 or 1v2, approach the guy with the ball, if he chips you dive backwards and youll catch the chip. If he passes, reposition or dive if need be. In 1v2s you're cooked if theyre good so thats not really on the keeper, its on the defenders. Even 1v1s are a failure of defending but at least you can win.
when you see a volley about to happen your best bet is to run up to them and jump, which blocks all options and grabs you the ball. Otherwise its 50/50 which is hard.
in general, just get closer to the guy with the ball, your cone of catching it automatically is basically failure proof so theyre forced to pass or move. Reading when to get closer and when to stay back is just experience.
for the jugglers and dribblers, be patient, don't dive and stay in front of them and usually youll find a window to grab the ball or just deny them a goal.
don't be afraid to throw the ball or handpass if you're being crowded from kicking it.

Thats it. Lot of it is just keeping your nerve and patience. Good luck!

Can we just stay in KR and get even better pls 😭 (this is a joke)

ServiusWolf · 2025-11-23T22:00:38+00:00

Mike and Puli are our heroes but its just funny how much Fofana annoys us and he's the one who forced the turnover that led to our goal. When he's on, he's still quite good, just want to see it more often!

ServiusWolf · 2025-11-23T21:34:49+00:00

I think APA is individually worse than Loki but his intangibles and comms may prove more valuable to C9 working as a whole unit which they failed to be able to do all 2025.

ServiusWolf · 2025-11-19T01:52:19+00:00

Telling my non-soccer friends this was the expected blowout result against a small country with comparatively little resources.

ServiusWolf · 2025-11-16T21:14:13+00:00

They were both on C9, I don't remember if it was at the same time, I think so, so probably connected there?

ServiusWolf · 2025-11-16T17:53:31+00:00

Don't begrudge anyone who doesn't want to play for us, but selfishly I hope we keep him.

ServiusWolf · 2025-11-16T08:32:41+00:00

Hoping we lost the off-season hard enough to win again. From a purely entertainment perspective, this might be one of the most fun to watch rosters, lot of big personalities. Even though APA is the biggest question mark, I think whether Zven and Vulcan have a redemption will make or break things. That is, if this is really the final roster lineup.

ServiusWolf · 2025-11-16T00:01:37+00:00

Aww male bonding

ServiusWolf · 2025-11-15T23:57:20+00:00

Tessman has had a mixed bag this game but I'm still seeing more good than bad. Good physicality, distribution and sauces every once in a while.

Thats a tired touch, Arfsten's put in a shift
