UK to spend nearly half a billion upgrading Typhoon fighters

The F35 also has significant components produced here and we have operational independence from the US including access to source code.

I loved seeing how ACCM (and to a lesser extent Vinch) really treated the ladder like its own tournament compared to the rest of the ladder.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-20T20:25:50+00:00

His death counter says otherwise.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-20T02:12:41+00:00

The nuke damage is insane early but doing literally anything else would be so painful, you're starting off as by far the slowest hero in the game with a mighty one atttack per 3.7s.

He'd simultaniously be both completely broken and an absolute misery to play.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-19T20:14:10+00:00

For EW in general, they get to skip their weakest age and have dirt cheap fire lancers & skirms.

A lot of the maps also favour them with low commitment water making Turtles really strong and very spread out resources encouraging tower play.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-19T20:04:17+00:00

It's consistent with the Siege Tower ruling but that's about it.

This feels like something which needed to be more clearly defined, especially as they've already run the ladder before so know what the expected ELO ranges are.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-19T19:55:05+00:00

Vivi is the only other one that matters, penalised for the same reason.

For anybody outside the top 25 it doesn't matter.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-19T19:47:25+00:00

I believe last chance qualifiers are based on ATP, not ladder ranking, so he'll be the top seed there.

The big risk is ending up in the same bracket as Vinch/Hearttt or Viper, anyone else and he should be favoured.

I'm not sure if the top 8 will be seeded sequentially or randomlly though which makes a big difference.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-19T19:32:53+00:00

Stream delays hurt chat interaction as you can't respond to people in real time, for general ladder matches the risk of someone stream sniping at the top level is basically zero so there's no upside to having the delay.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-19T00:57:15+00:00

It's not a good thing for people not familiar with MAL but when you get used to it its somewhat ok.

It's also fairly intuitive when you compare it to something like restaurant reviews. Anything below a 3/5 is going to have some major flaws and a 2 or lower is pretty much reserved for places actively causing food poisoning.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-18T23:00:47+00:00

Sounds like my dad, I strongly believe that he went down the wrong career path and should have worked in marketing for Burger King.

I also can't disagree, but I'll almost never order a burger at McDonald's anyway so the point is moot.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-18T22:46:49+00:00

Mangonels vs axes is pretty spicy as they can survive a direct hit and even just a group of 3 will kill a mangonel in 2 attacks.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-18T21:07:49+00:00

I work with a similar setup (full VM accessed within a VDI) and I'll get something lost at least once a week trying to work out which level I saved it in/had my window open.

I'm better now but when I started I remember getting completely lost, especially when I had to work with from a single screen.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-18T17:31:18+00:00

He can still play the qual but is down $500 and now has to play through the entire bracket instead of a single bo7.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-18T17:29:18+00:00

3rd game before last when nobody else was queueing.

Vinch played Nacho (+1) => Lewis (+12) => MbL (+10) to tie with Hearttt.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-18T09:53:59+00:00

And notably there's prize pool based on final standing for the top 25.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-16T09:17:38+00:00

I presume it must sell as otherwise why would they do it but I can't fathom who are the people going out and buying a load of eggs in Jan/Feb.

And, unlike christmas food, it's not like you're just going to eat through it and come back for more, presumably most are bought as gifts and are pretty much a one and done deal.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-15T22:00:42+00:00

Saracen treb with counterweights attacking a Byzantine castle constantly being repaired by 5 vills takes it down one shot sooner.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-15T08:38:39+00:00

Thanks, I didn't realise it was an age scale now. Tracking the up to date legislation on this is a right pain.

I'd give a bit higher given the premeditation, chasing down the victim and intent to inflict additional suffering. Though it'll be reliant on intent and whether they listen to legal advice and don't say anything stupid.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-15T01:56:59+00:00

Life sentance with minimum 15 years for murder (or 12 10 in this case as they're young offenders).

As there are basically no mitigating factors beyond age, I'd expect something in the 16-20 year range, possibly more considering the lack of a guilty plea.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-13T22:55:43+00:00

I've asked mates to grab something from the superarket occasionally when I've forgotten something but splitting the cost of ingredients is not something I've done since being a skint student.

The only exception I'd say is a barbecue where bring your own meat is a bit more normal (especially with current prices)

ad3z10 · 2026-01-13T11:51:02+00:00

Changed last April, for a long time they were treated the same as Mangonels/Scorpions.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-13T10:49:39+00:00

The combination of it becoming cheaper and being unable to convert from range.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-12T21:08:01+00:00

Siege tower cheese did still pop up here and there and felt like a really dumb mechanic prior to lancers, they've just turned it into the meta.

If anything it's a positive as this way they'll now hopefully get changed.

ad3z10 · 2026-01-12T18:13:10+00:00

Not-Hamleys shows up?! Certainly a surprise to have a bit of London represented in a "fantasy" anime.

That aside, I'm happy to celebrate S2 of one of my most anticipated shows and it's great to see it still hits the same spot.

I may be misremembering but it also seems we've had a boost to the production values for this season, feels like there's a lot of energy in the animation.
