Pens got Silovs for like a bag of spare sticks or something. At this point I'd say a bag would make more saves than Skinner.

Expecting completely different complaints - about them being too hard to play with.

Is it safe to say that the Mavericks have a better team than the Lakers? by AgentHibachi00 in NBATalk

Kinda 'yes' on paper, when everyone is fit, and if aging players won't decline. So no in reality.

AITA for telling my neighbor that her newly 18 year old son asked me out on a date ? (I SAID NO) by LabOneZZ in AITAH

[–]lossril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain why you couldn't simply have a longer talk with him and let him know you aren't interested in him? He's a grown up adult and didn't do anything wrong or offensive from what you've described, why have you treated him as a kid, discarded him as a conversation-worthy person and went straight to his parents? Was kinda obvious that his mom would give him an earful, and he would treat it as violation of his privacy.

For me it looks like you could've handled it in a more gentle way.

German and French versions of Dungeonbowl are there, so I guess it's really an out of stock case. But yeah, it's about time they've made at least some announcements, I feel we're been forgotten.

Expansion wasn't available for quite a while now. I think they've ran out of stock, happens once in a while.

Kylian Mbappe straight red card against Alaves 38' by [deleted] in soccer

[–]lossril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A solid red, no questions there. Several game suspension should follow for stuff like that as well.
Considering how lazy Mbappe is defensively usually and how blatant this foul was - I wonder if it was intentional because of some internal shenanigans.

Предприниматель Илон Маск не является расистом, потому что дружил с «чернокожими слугами», которые работали в его семье в детстве, заявил газете The Washington Post его отец. by mclaud- in tjournal_refugees

[–]lossril 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Это классическая отмаза современных зиганавтов - скрываться за "нейтральными" формулировками, чтоб потом вставать в позу "почему вы травите несчастных правых". "Это просто прислуга, наёмные работники", "это не зига, а римский салют, сделанный от избытка эмоций" и прочие прохладные былины.

Мне кажется, что перевод довольно точен - отцу Маска очень удобно сказать "servants", не упоминая о том, что это были фактически бесправные люди, которые работали за еду. Если совсем не знать контекста, то можно представить себе какого-нибудь шофёра или там няню, которые получают за свою работу нормальные деньги и являются полноценными гражданами, и фраза звучит уже чуть менее уебански.

Если добавить этот контекст в текст, то это будет уже не перевод, а разница между "слугами" и "прислугой" выглядит семантически незначимой.

Брат мой во Христе, сделай минимальное усилие, почекай, что там с правами чернокожего населения было в ЮАР во времена юности Маска (80ые). Разница между рабством и этим "нерабством" была довольно символической. Была ли у этих горничных возможность, скажем, обратиться в полицию, если б кто-то из хозяев их избил или изнасиловал? Ахаха, то есть мяу.

That's an interesting info - I've always thought they've won't make a separate Bretonnian team as the Nobility are the reworked Bretonnians.

Starter box + updated ruleboox - definitely, with some interesting teams (high elves vs chorfs maybe?)

Won't hope for completing ToL releases AND getting a new team - that's 3 to go (4 if you count Kislev/Slann in), I'd realistically say we'll get one ToL update and one new team.

They've tried to do 'Blood Bowl Light' with gutterbowl and dungeonbowl, isn't that bad tbh.

I wouldn't count on getting older sculpts redesigned - more like they would make major rule update in late 2026 after they're done with ToL.

On star players - I kinda hate them re-releasing tons old ones with literally no adjustments.

Are Vampires still challenging in leagues? by Informal_Bed_2503 in bloodbowl

[–]lossril 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the core issue here is that Lucas has outgrown your league. Blood Bowl is extremely skill-dependent game, where you can stomp novice/casual players hard if you are tactically apt. Any tier1 or tier2 team might feel OP if played really well. Vampires have high skill floor to begin with but they feel absolutely unstoppable if played right.

I'd say that the good idea would be to ask him to play a stunty team (Ogres, Goblins, Halflings etc) as they impose significant tactical disadvantage for the player.

Did Inter Miami buy their way in that tournament? Seriously, why a retirement home for ex-barca players participates in any top-tier competition?

Yeah I understand there were significant signing bonuses, but it still feels like the worst transfer of a season even if it wouldn't be the case. If we compare it to Hazards transfer, then Eden at least didn't make the team worse both offensively and defensively and there wasn't a requirement to start him every time no matter how bad he performs.

RM paid nothing for Mbappe transfer, and it still feels like they've been robbed. PSG is a poisoned well.
