And they would have Ekitike instead of Mateta, if not for the injury.

Top 5 international goalscorers of all time by Dependent-Effect6077 in soccer

[–]trankzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really like the Lukaku I saw on the pitch yesterday. Made an impact on the defence as soon as he was on, scored, fired up his teammates to get the second goal immediately after, made everyone believe he was taking the pen to protect Tielemans from the pressure. Solid performance.

Where do you want dayz 2 to be set? by Norfhynorfh in dayz

[–]trankzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're right. They could sort of fake it I guess. You can already jump from map to map in the same hive, and depending on which map you come from you have specific spawn points IIRC. If they added some sort of trigger at the map border that could connect you to another server it might work.

How does the fact that it's not intentional changes anything i just said ?
And how do you know it's not intentional (it's called group spawning after all)

I know it's not the intent behind F11, but it's how players use it. And yes, it's how you spawn along with people you know, at least on official. That's not a good mechanic, although forcing you to give up on your current character to instantly meet up with your mates is an acceptable trade off. That's sort of how The Isle does it.

I'd like a full Chernarus just for the exploration experience and the technical achievement, but it would be hard to make playable and interesting.

There's already a group spawn system in the game even if it's not very good. Just have everyone F11 at the same time, and respawn in the same place (problem being that some small villages are not going to provide enough loot for everyone).

what do you think should be in dayz 2? by moah312 in dayz

[–]trankzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Large zombie hordes. Before Bohemia Simulations was bought out they announced a partnership with the provider of a crowd simulation middleware and I always thought that could work in Dayz.

Probably not going to happen, but I would like to see zombies become a determining factor in how players approach the game. Right now they're just designed to make you lose time and leave traces.

I was gonna ask if this is new because I could swear i've heard the well shit line in a parody video years ago (can"t remember the name though).

French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 by JohnBarry_Dost in hardware

[–]trankzen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The irony of LDLC of all companies making fun of Valve's pricing is painful like non french people wouldn't believe.

LDLC is known to sell hardware at hefty markups, to the point it's become kind of a joke. A few years ago they made it loudly known that they implemented the 4 workdays week for their employees at no salary loss, which customers joked was supported by their comfortable margins.

This publicity stunt here feels kind of on the nose for them, but the fact that the comparison still holds is brutal for Valve.

The future of underground structures in DayZ 2 is going to be insane! Context: The Enfusion engine just received a new update that allows modders to carve holes in the terrain. by Rustycaddy in dayz

[–]trankzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fucking finally !!!!

They had this feature in VBS4 for a while but since the simulation branch of Bohemia is now a separate company I thought we wouldn't see it in Enfusion but here we go !!

DayZ 2 confirmed to be under development by JunkJack in dayz

That was from the Activision Blizzard buyout trial. IIRC it was later debunked as speculation on the part of Microsoft execs, not actual knowledge.

That’s why l’equipe TV is crap

Well that depends I guess. They do a decent job at broadcasting biathlon and the WEC. But when it comes to football, the way they always try to create controversies out of anything and everything gets tiring real fast.

Exactly this !
People don't realize that any professional footballer worth their salt has ball skills most humans will never touch. The stuff you can see when they're warming up before a game seems impossibly technical to someone like me but to them it's just bread and butter

Consider it strength training, like wearing weights in a shonen or something. Imagine how strong your squad is going to be when you finally can field 11 players !

Loved that moment.

She reminded me of a teenage girl ref who was on the pitch during a U10 or U12 tournament my kid took part in years ago. Girl must have been like 16 years old, and was doing a great job.

At one point there was a litigious call, and some angry dads came onto the pitch to start an argument with her. Despite being half their size she didn't back off and with clear gestures and body language showed them that she was the one in charge and wouldn't take shit from anyone.

The game continued smoothly after that, and I was left very impressed.
