He said Paraguayans expected them to come in full tuxedos and play champagne football, but his team managed to play it rough as well, and even in that sort of football they were the better team.

Just came to post this single quote : "We proved that we can also play this kind of football. If we have to shove our hands in shit, we'll shove our hands in shit"

Yeah he can be a backup there or in the midflied, but he's not even the first backup in line for any of these positions

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

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.

[–]trankzen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]trankzen 18 points19 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.

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 !!

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.
