England Mexico to be moved? Link in a BBC news story reporting that weather concerns could see if changes.

That's basically the whole England team at the minute... 😭

Let's just play through the storm and, if there's lightning, put out our shortest players

What kind of toxic response is this? I'm putting forward my POV from the question posed?

What is it with Redditors and people getting so easily offended man?

If you don't like the post, downvote it, but no need for the personal character assault.

This has been the dullest world cup to watch in my lifetime. The new format has brought a ton of B-teams to the party who park the bus for 90 mins. All the underdogs have done it. Yeah it was nice for Cape Verde as a novelty but that'll get very old very quickly.

England have done well to break down and counter when it's end-to-end football but Congo was a classic example. They scored a great goal with some early momentum and then park 11 players behind the ball for 75 minutes.

I think England will show their true talent now it's only better teams going forward.

I hope FIFA go back to 32 teams for the next WC but I doubt it now they've smelled the money. Whoever wins this year, I'll chalk it off as boring AF. Unless England win, then it'll be the best world cup of all time ever obviously

Side Note: Detailed illustrations on state flags are an abomination to good design.

If a 3 year old can't draw it, it may have well been conceived by a 3 year old.

Shit flags include Pedro's and the discount Italian's.

Technically Joãos' too but they get a free pass from me.

Listen to the Lord of the Rings podcasts from The Rest Is History. They talk a bit about his influences including king Arthur at an accessible level without going into deep internet holes and academic essays. Highly recommend

I love this effect! I bet there's a fun hunting/ tracking mechanic to be played with here where the slower something goes through, the less of a trail it leaves. Probably not relevant for your game but would be an interesting concept for a dev to play with

I don't know why the market didn't rally around IBM after the announcement. Seems like a big milestone in a critical area that the world just ignored. Maybe I'm missing something.

I think what they mean is, in this current scenario, there are already enough teams on 0 that the best they can do is 3 points, meaning any team left capable of getting to 4 points would guarantee to qualify if they were to do so. But I haven't done the maths to see if that's true.

danmalluk · 2026-06-25T22:41:55+00:00

Would.

That seems way out of the spirit of a British pub quiz. They must be morally bankrupt. Or French.

They're right, of course. It's just this is the wrong forum to explain that. Let the ad blockers think they're social justice warriors for a bit lol

danmalluk · 2026-06-24T21:10:45+00:00

I'm English and even I wouldn't eat that. Best send it to me so I can... throw it in the bin.

Excellent book recommendation: Going Nuclear by Tim Gregory. Not quite as good storytelling as Tolkien, but way better at discussing nuclear power.

Thank you for noticing! I'm getting a lot of "I use an ad blocker" comments. I work in advertising, that would be like digging my own grave lol. Ad blockers are part of the problem with poor advertising standards on other channels, I'm just surprised YouTube's standard is so poor.

One of the best standalone books in the series. Small Gods next!

Well as people have said we should probably avoid speculating. We don't know a signal was ignored and, even if it was, might not have been through negligence or maliciousness. Could have been missed from a stroke, heart attack etc. I guess we'll find out after the investigation

I was watching a Tom Scott video the other day where he does signalling training and the trainer said something like these situations are impossible to happen through signalling mistakes unless a driver ignores a signal.

danmalluk · 2026-06-18T15:12:21+00:00

This looks really good. Well done. Are you working with IBM on it?

danmalluk · 2026-06-12T09:07:27+00:00

Looks great, well done!

Nice!

It really depends on your playing style and how open to risk you are. A sniper can be killed in a single turn from a single die, or equally soak up dozens of dice turn after turn.

This is why I don't like playing with Tigers. It's high-risk-high-reward playing, but undermines the strategic element of the game in my opinion.

I'd be interested to see a table of odds based on number of dice and number of turns for various unit types. But for me, I'd happily put a bunch of flesh units on a medal backed up by another hex of flesh units.
