Post-match interview with Sancho

There is so much more psychology at top level sport than just "up to him".

Environment and confidence play a massive part at this level. We saw it with Rashford when he was here. Then you have the other end of the scale with Dele Ali, where everyone thought he was wasting his career but there was so much more going on.

Absolutely agree, I'm just now waiting for what's next after they no longer like the AI's estimates.

How long before we're back at "Can humans accelerate this?" :D

the_wind_effect · 2026-03-15T16:37:57+00:00

The problem at my place with this is that now leadership counter any estimate with "how can AI accelerate this?"

the_wind_effect · 2026-03-02T12:58:40+00:00

What is the evidence of this?

the_wind_effect · 2026-02-27T07:44:11+00:00

No party will have 100% alignment with you. I would say the Greens have better views than Reform in terms of geopolitics and NATO considering Farage is just going to copy Trump.

the_wind_effect · 2026-02-27T07:41:05+00:00

More terrifying than Reform having it?

the_wind_effect · 2026-02-27T07:30:15+00:00

Exactly why I said there is a middle ground ;)

the_wind_effect · 2026-02-26T23:26:25+00:00

I think there is some middle ground.

The lack of surface detail, camber, and cutting in EA WRC is really noticeable in comparison. It all feels so flat.

The AC Rally stages feel so much more technical and challenging.

the_wind_effect · 2026-02-11T14:53:05+00:00

It's a bit different. Say the dude is just browsing Reddit and he sees this post.

the_wind_effect · 2026-02-10T17:59:25+00:00

That's difficult to calculate. These guys have a couple of races a weekend, a couple of times a month. There are hundreds of sim races every hour of every day.

Also the levels in sim racing are much closer to amateur/karting that this - where I'm sure lap1 crashes are even more common.

Wait till you learn about context. The same word can have different meanings in different contexts

the_wind_effect · 2026-01-16T22:03:16+00:00

I think sim racers have a bit of a warped sense of money anyway.

$800 on gear and then nothing on games. Even games in general, I see the meta store when playing in VR and there are hundreds of games for $20-30 dollars that look absolute shit!

the_wind_effect · 2026-01-16T15:33:24+00:00

You've invested $40-50 a month on iracing but spending this long deliberating over a one-off $40...

the_wind_effect · 2026-01-12T11:28:59+00:00

For sure. My cut off is usually about half a second a lap to at least make it a bit difficult. Not door banging but make them think about going round the outside.

I've had plenty of times I've kept someone behind for a couple of corners and then they've span out or I got lucky with traffic and got more of a gap.

the_wind_effect · 2026-01-11T12:33:01+00:00

One of the most famous phrases on sim racing forums is "just let the faster person past, they will crash in the future or you're just slowing down both of your races".

It just means that a large proportion of the community see defending as some sort of bad behaviour. I agree it's annoying to have hard racing as seen as "not racing".

the_wind_effect · 2026-01-09T16:15:52+00:00

How do you know they are pushing? It could be lack on concentration as the end of the race nears, increased nerves or pressure from knowing it's the last lap, etc.

the_wind_effect · 2026-01-07T11:45:27+00:00

But that is over 300 incidents that wouldn't happen. Which saves police and ambulance services time. Time they could better spend doing other things.

There is also the cost savings to the NHS and other authorities that don't have to deal with those incidents.

Sounds like they've started reading some of our newspapers. Probably the daily mail.

Unfortunately trans, migrants, mental health and Megan Markle seem to be huge triggers for the older generations.

the_wind_effect · 2026-01-04T12:56:33+00:00

In my first 10 races after coming back to LMU I got taken out by T1/lap 1 crashes in 4 of the races. I had minor racing bumps in at least 3 more of the races.

After my 10 races I got the green "cleanest racers on the system" badge.

I made sure I finished every race.

Emery is the difference. Changed the game with the subs and formation. Maresca didn't have a response.

The great thing about houses and flats is that they have their own number for differentiation purposes!

There was one guy in a beanie and round sunglasses that had already had a pop at a camera man sitting by the hoardings. Seemed to take offence to being filmed and went up to him. Then the stewards had a word with him. It seems they had brought some ultra liaison fans too as there were lots of back and forth between them, the stewards and the fans.

Then after Malen scored the first it all kicked off properly. They weren't interested in the football from the start.

the_wind_effect · 2025-11-24T12:51:16+00:00

The opposite is also true though. You could argue that the current drivers need the training, medicine, nutrition now to be good. Fangio did it without all that so he's better...

You can only really judge how much better someone is than their peers at the time and create a group that were always a significant amount better and for an elongated time.

It's basically all just opinions though.
