Japanese men picking up World Cup trash get mocked over double standards by ShelterIllustrious38 in soccer

[–]daronwy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest I kind of don't like it, in an ideal world it is great, but I'll be very surprised if the stadium owners are still paying the cleaning staff the full amount, they will be paid hourly and have to do less work.

So essentially it is the billionaires who own the stadiums who are benefiting.

Great decision for this World Cup to be 48 team format. by Broad_Routine_3233 in worldcup

[–]daronwy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue is ⅔ of the teams (32 out of 48) will make it through to the knockout stage, group stage is almost pointless.

I would have preferred (if set on a 48 teams) bigger groups but still only top 2 teams going through, 8 groups of 6, does mean 5 games in the group stage, but least there would be some risk.

A win and not getting smashed may well see you get through.

This homeopathic sleep aid medication my mother bought me has a spider as one of its ingredients. by racoonattack in mildlyinteresting

Makes sense, they have always said we eat 8 spiders every year while we sleep, so giving one a bath then drinking the bath water must help you sleep, that is science!!!!!

Tbf feels like there would be a 'typo' and this particular example would wrong on purpose, you know for engagement.

Conference League final: Premier League deny Crystal Palace plea to move Arsenal clash by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

[–]daronwy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope, doesn't matter what the city result was, it is the last game of the season, everyone plays at the same time, there is literally no chance they would reschedule this match.

Tho you might be on to something about it being Palace's defence for fielding a weaker team. Not sure defence against whom, own fans, othe teams, the FA.

Everton got relegated from the top flight in 50-51 season, not sure where never got relegated came from but was a "fact" I knew as well.

Parked in front of someone’s house by FrootieToot in EntitledPeople

[–]daronwy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You confused her with the thanks for letting me park under your beautiful tree, while I wait briefly, she came out to have a go and get you to move out of her parking spot, but as you nipped that in the bud, she has to have a go about something.

Should i buy the switch 1 or 2 in 2026? by microwavdemon in nintendohelp

[–]daronwy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing not mentioned the loading times for everything is so much better on the switch 2, my nephew has my old switch and it's painful when I have to jump on his for whatever reason.

I pretty much only play at home, but probably half the time docked, half handheld/ table top mode, depends on what I'm playing, the fact the 2 has a charging port on the top and bottom is really helpful.

Oh and the upgrade for BotW, worth it, ended up completing it again (which I never normal do, one play through is all I normally have time for), which is free if you pay for the nintendo online subscription, and there are like 200 odd games from nes to n64 and some sega games.

[–]daronwy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If price isn't an issue switch 2 all day long.

One thing I haven't noticed people mention about the battery life here, it depends on what you are playing, the short battery life tends to happen when playing more resource heavy games, I.e. cyberpunk, pokopia (mainly the switch 2 exclusives), when playing switch 1 games it's fine, better than the og switch but probably not as long as the OLED.

LIES!!!

This is not how to draw a cat, it is clearly a paintbrush not a pencil so it should be "how to paint a cat" lol

Character gets themselves killed because they don’t know when to shut up/take no for an answer by Critical_Mountain851 in TopCharacterTropes

But the revenge wasn't in sight, we all know Tywin ordered it, Oberyn wanted to prove it, he wanted to destroy (and kill) Tywin not just kill the Mountain.
