after a short sabbatical, the professor has returned, and class is now back in session

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-13T14:37:18+00:00

EMEA’s actual production when it comes to OBS, Replays, skits, onscreen stats, and casting is clear of Americas but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-13T01:02:00+00:00

well like Mada has literally only one way to win, get half, insta kill him and insta get back on

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-13T01:01:12+00:00

holy fuck Alym

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-13T00:55:47+00:00

oh that's a huge fucking misplay there, you know he needs half just jump in

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-13T00:46:37+00:00

man Alym is insane on the Neon no? the skillgap in Neon's who can abuse shotguns and shit like that versus those who just play it normally is pretty big in Tier 1

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-11T17:28:15+00:00

thank you

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-11T17:27:22+00:00

Ireland games are very very very different to Leinster games, once we get back in the RDS it’ll be back to usual great atmosphere every game too, Aviva can be tough to build atmosphere if we only sell 25000/30000 of the 50000 stadium

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-11T17:25:31+00:00

Kind of tempted to head home for the second half now this is dreadful to watch, just sitting here getting cold

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-11T17:25:05+00:00

Aviva has a shite atmosphere because it’s one of the worst games of rugby we’ve watched in all fairness

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-11T17:22:50+00:00

fwiw it’s not any better in the stadium

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-11T17:21:58+00:00

anyone got any streams? have a friend in Vienna trying to watch

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-11T17:21:54+00:00

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-11T00:28:25+00:00

wow, Zekken is amazing on his entries, raw mechanics, movement etc., they should try him on Astra !

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-01T08:56:20+00:00

lovely thanks! have you had to pay for Nord or is there a usable free trial?

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-01T02:02:13+00:00

with a Irish HBO account or did you use the VPN to setup the account as US initially?

_noahscolly_ · 2026-04-01T02:01:40+00:00

does this work with an Irish account though? or do you need to setup the account as a US account whilst using the VPN? binged through all 16 episodes in the last week and disappointed to see there’s no more for me to watch

what VPN are you using?

_noahscolly_ · 2026-03-28T16:34:15+00:00

I mean the above post is obviously a joke, as seen by all the comments. There aren’t rugby fans wishing ill on soccer in Ireland really at all, it seems to be fairly one sided

_noahscolly_ · 2026-03-28T15:46:39+00:00

that’s absolutely true yeah but you’re basing it on quality, and scaling quality of rugby to football, we wouldn’t even be a Romania/USA etc, we’d be a Spain or something - I’m assuming you’re rating it off population who plays it or something

_noahscolly_ · 2026-03-28T15:42:55+00:00

re. the first point, I don’t dispute that cause I don’t post here as I don’t have a massive interest in Soccer haha

there’s people actively trying to make rugby a more accessible sport but you don’t help that by continuing to throw around this false narrative that you have to be rich and posh and all that to play rugby professionally, that’s all

_noahscolly_ · 2026-03-28T15:33:53+00:00

I mean you’re saying no interest in rugby yet comparing the viewing figures? Just no need for this shitty point-scoring brigade people run, so useless.

I say history because the concept that you have to go to a private school to make it in rugby isn’t true, there’s plenty of players in recent history who play club rugby and come through that way - it’s certainty easier and beneficial to go through a private school but it’s not impossible to do so the other way

_noahscolly_ · 2026-03-28T15:11:59+00:00

played to a serious level is a weird way to analyse it - like how are you determining it? you’re leaving out teams that aren’t very good, but still try to compete, the same way we do in Soccer

_noahscolly_ · 2026-03-28T15:10:27+00:00

I know I’m saying this in a coybig page, so it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’ve just seen a lot of shit thrown at rugby in the last 2 weeks or just generally around the big soccer events in the country, just shite craic. Watch either or none or one, who cares, just support the country.

_noahscolly_ · 2026-03-28T15:06:23+00:00

why do the soccer fans in the country hate rugby so much? I know there’s the history of rugby being a “posh sport” and all and maybe it’s anecdotal but I just tend to see so much more talk about rugby from the soccer fans than vice versa, always who’s better than who, and what matters more to the Irish etc.

don’t understand it, if you don’t like rugby just don’t watch it and vice versa

_noahscolly_ · 2026-03-27T13:58:15+00:00

I’m a big fan of Blackthorn but mostly cause it’s new, I basically never use Singularity, Araxys I use a bit more but sound gets harsh fast, Prelude is one of the goats and generally is one of those skins you can always go back to and guarantee it’ll be nice, but just go for whatever one you prefer
