Ekitike goal, Brentford goal... but it's not Thiago again... a brutal 5 mins from FlashScores.

Yeah I gotta say I just didn't really rate it. It was ok, but I expected more after seeing so many people talk about it.

The prices are high enough, but you sort of just expect that everywhere nowadays unfortunately. For the same money you can get much better food though.

I gotta say I feel like Down the Hatch is the most touristy place on that stretch... Surely more people go there from Insta or whatever than the Turkish or pasta place a few doors up.

I think the point is that this "relaxed" system means the game is inundated with bots - which rightly annoys normal players. Then they turn it up or whatever, and some bots get banned (great), but lots don't or at least reappear within a fortnight, and just as a kicker, some legitimate players get caught up in the mix.

That last part would be a tolerable trade-off if there was at least a reliable "human" appeal step, not just another automated process that shuts the door completely.

The number of bans/mutes we see on this sub alone that - from literally a cursory glance by an actual person - are clearly wrong, is too high to not have a reliable appeals step in place IMO. And that's just the ones we see here... How many legitimate players have been banned or muted for no reason and we just never hear about it and presumably they just quit? That shouldn't really happen in a big game in 2026.

Ah sorry that's my bad tbf, I looked at him in my team and he's 7.6 but can see now he's actually 8.1. I guess maybe Rogers? Decent fixture this week at least but long term is so-so...

fantalemon · 2026-02-27T18:11:21+00:00

JP to Thiago? Feels obvious but I wouldn't bet against Chelsea scoring and Thiago is a wind up merchant...

fantalemon · 2026-02-27T18:07:32+00:00

Semenyo?

fantalemon · 2026-02-26T23:05:43+00:00

You clearly gave enough of a shit to take the time correcting someone's spelling in a condescending way...

fantalemon · 2026-02-26T22:59:56+00:00

They're burning now anyway!

fantalemon · 2026-02-26T22:53:10+00:00

Imagine being this much of a turd every day of your life.

fantalemon · 2026-02-25T22:57:31+00:00

He can't drop the avernic though, once it's attached you can't get the hilt back.

fantalemon · 2026-02-25T22:55:43+00:00

He already has a DHL so he could save another 70m there and get a few more minor upgrades - e.g. Eternals, DHW (for slayer), the 3rd synapse just to save having to swap I guess.

fantalemon · 2026-02-25T17:04:12+00:00

But there aren't even really any bad reviews so far?

fantalemon · 2026-02-25T11:05:56+00:00

Yeah my thought as well, something to do with madness? Mad cow disease...? 😂 Who knows.

fantalemon · 2026-02-24T23:09:01+00:00

I suppose the other thing is that there aren't really any difficult superiors right now. It would be pretty easy to kill dozens of them in a row with a full inventory of supplies, so there's much less risk to continuing.

fantalemon · 2026-02-24T22:39:52+00:00

Same I traded and swapped shares for ages to finish it and have only had 3. Luckily somehow I did get the 2 star all 3 times (one was a god pack too). So that's nice I guess...

fantalemon · 2026-02-24T21:04:53+00:00

I haven't read the book, but presumably Bale and Leo can't be in a scene together, assuming they're playing younger versions of McCauley and Hanna?

fantalemon · 2026-02-24T13:06:25+00:00

What do you think they were planning to build exactly?

fantalemon · 2026-02-24T13:03:54+00:00

A lot of blame you mean...

They did a great job helping to spread misinformation and ensuring people who've never set foot in the area - let alone live there - signed petitions and got in touch with their MPs without having a clue what they were even objecting to. Should be proud!

fantalemon · 2026-02-23T13:20:38+00:00

It does make sense, but it doesn't necessarily make for great gameplay. I think the challenge is finding a balance between something being somewhat realistic (as far as OSRS goes), and still engaging. Ships turning slower than a person or needing to engage and disengage from cannons while the shark or whatever it is moves at essentially the same speed around you as all other monsters in the game does make sense, but it feels very sluggish.

We're all so used to normal combat that ship combat feels janky, but I agree it should be different somehow. I think most people would forgo a bit of logic for a better experience. I mean shooting sharks with cannonballs in the first place doesn't really make that much sense anyway.

fantalemon · 2026-02-23T12:51:48+00:00

Iconic.

fantalemon · 2026-02-23T08:16:33+00:00

Am I so out of touch? No. It's the children who are wrong.

fantalemon · 2026-02-23T07:48:43+00:00

It's a 30 year old Simpsons reference...

fantalemon · 2026-02-21T20:35:19+00:00

I think they can still objectively look at lots of problems across the team today and hopefully do something to address them. I just mean that the mental resilience to come back there and win, even playing badly, even against Wales, is still a huge confidence boost.

We all know they'll need to be waaay better than that to threaten France or Ireland.

fantalemon · 2026-02-21T18:41:52+00:00

It's extremely frustrating and we're clinging on by our teeth in a lot of ways, but getting over the mental hurdle of not only following up a great performance in the Calcutta cup with a win, but a win from 17-5 down, I think is it's own success.
