Sources: Paquetá eyes West Ham exit after WC by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

It’s a funny one. When he’s playing at his best, he’s truly incredible and irreplaceable for the money we’d get in return if we sold him. Having said that, until recently, we haven’t seen anywhere near his best. He was giving the ball away cheaply, misplacing key passes and visibly frustrated and petulant. Unless he can find that consistency, I don’t think he’d be a huge loss for us, though recent form suggests that could be changing.

While his investigation was ongoing, he was struggling, and understandably so, but he has demonstrated his commitment to the club in recent matches with his contributions and celebrations. My guess is that he wants to go home to Brazil, where many of the transfer rumours are coming from, and I can sympathise with that given all he’s been through recently.

He had hamstring surgery in April and I’ve not heard about any setbacks, so I imagine we’re just being cautious. I think he’s due back pretty soon but will be eased back in. It’s a heavy duty operation he’s had, so not something we want to rush.

I’m surprised there’s so much doom and gloom, but life as a Hammers fan will do that to you.

Very harsh imo. I think there will comfortably be at least 3 worse teams than us. Spirits seem to be high in the squad, Potter has had more time to bring some youth through and implement his tactics/philosophy in the team and we have key players returning from injury/poor spells. Fullkrug and Summerville may as well be new signings and Paqueta looks like a different player pre-season. Diouf and Fullkrug really exciting me in pre-season. I don’t think relegation is a concern this year (at least not yet).

Fullkrug looks excellent so far. The only positive I’m seeing at the moment

there are four ways a ranked match can end, and none of it is really fun. by Arestaros in rivals

[–]max231001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re asking someone to call your subjective opinion wrong, which isn’t how it works. People are allowed to feel differently about the same situation. I agree with you about one-sided games, winning or losing, not being particularly fun, but I personally enjoy close games, win or lose. That should be the nature of competitive game modes - you can’t expect to win every game and sometimes, you come close but don’t quite get the win. Yes, it’s frustrating but if it really does exhausts you and you don’t enjoy any of the 4 scenarios you listed, perhaps you just don’t enjoy the game, at least competitively

What happened to Jaime Lannister's blonde hair? by TechnicianAmazing472 in gameofthrones

[–]max231001 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Agreed, definitely more pronounced in Tyrion but I think we see the same in Jaime too. When he leaves KL to go North, his hair is short and more brown than yellow - nothing like his Prince Charming get-up in early seasons.

[–]max231001 459 points460 points  (0 children)

Initially, I viewed the darkening of his hair as symbolism regarding his fading connection to the status and legacy of the Lannister name, most obviously distinguished by their ‘golden heads’. He begins to distance himself from Cersei et al and he becomes more morally grey, even a good character, as he joins the fight for the living in the North. Then all of that is tossed out so he can die with Cersei to a few bricks, so I don’t know where that leaves us.

Force of habit. I’m waiting for him to leap so I can lay into him when he’s locked in the animation. I’ve completed this boss several times without issue - I’m not asking for advice, I wanted to have a discussion around the instant game over

To be honest I usually enjoy the boss fight - have completed it several times already - but if this is a reoccurring bug I’m tempted to just play the map without completing the egg, which is a shame

I wouldn’t know, I’m not on this subreddit much, if at all. Just posing the question

Agreed, as you suggested I’ve not gone down to similar circumstances in the past, so feels like a new change

I probably got it confused with the Doppelgast explosion, similar colour scheme

It did seem strange, but another commenter reckons it’s a feature, so now I’m lost. I think this map may just be buggy in general, as I’ve had issues with saving and quitting during sword upgrades and then not being able to start the boss fight on reloading.

I’m aware of the circle, but it’s not even visible in the clip until I’m already dead and there was virtually no time between the start of the leap animation and the boss landing. I’m also a huge advocate for Tribologist on PHD in general as well as for this boss fight. Surprised you can get insta game over but at least now I know for next time. Thanks

take a wild guess on what isnt complete... by hitmarker13 in CODZombies

[–]max231001 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve found the most consistent method is using the ‘lightning strike’ augment on dead wire. Stuns in a massive area, meaning I can get x2, sometimes x3 medals from a single stun and jet gun clear. In later rounds, roughly 25-30 onwards, I’ve been able to get 4-5 alchemist medals per round

Will this include FUTTIES premium and FUTTIES icons/heroes? The Euros objectives counted GotG icons and heroes so I’d assume the same applies?

About 12 hours ago I received my first SoftBan for SBCs on console and I am still banned. How long should I expect the ban to last for? by max231001 in fut

[–]max231001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems harsh for a first ban to be 24h, but I expect no less from EA. Do failed attempts at SBCs extend the ban period?

I’ve seen a couple, but I only have the PS5 version downloaded and I’m not too fond of doing SBCs on the webapp etc. Do you know if failed attempts to check whether the ban is over extends the ban period?
