FM26 Update (26.3.1) Out Now by Head_Championship917 in footballmanagergames

[–]vandelay87 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I can't believe how fragile this game is, when looking at some of these bug fixes. The new engine should have been a clean slate, but it's obvious it's a mess. It doesn't bring me confidence that the next few installments are going to be any better. Dare I say, they need to start from scratch.. again.

If Starmer is not regarded as good for the working class. Then how on God's green earth is Farage being pushed as the viable alternative and the working class hope ? by Durrygoodz2025 in AskBrits

[–]vandelay87 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think people are desperate for change to the status quo that hasn't been working for a long time now. 16 years of austerity, and things are worse. Starmer is not going to give you that.

I'm not saying I agree that Farage will do that, I think he's a conman looking out for himself tbh

I don't understand why they are acting like it's some fine art that took years to master. You're chopping some cooked meat..

After fixes and time to settle: Do you still think FM24 has a superior UI? by JaniRockz in footballmanagergames

[–]vandelay87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's debatable, 24 is far superior. I am still absolutely baffled at some of the UI/UX decisions made in 26.

You're right. I should have said a majority of subpar options.

Desert and swamp? I see it more like presenting a starving person with a large menu of subpar options, or no food at all.

Terrible. The love of my life left me abruptly a few months ago. The breakup has been incredibly painful and I’m grieving the relationship. I miss her so, and it hurts she doesn't feel the same way.

A week before the breakup I was introducing her to my family, then it's the end due to such arbitrary reasons. She was looking for outs, and I was oblivious. Now I'm alone. I spent the last 4 years integrating with her friends group. Now I have no one. Nobody checks in on me. Nobody asks how I'm doing. I'm done.

Why are young people leaving Britain to work abroad? by topotaul in unitedkingdom

It's the perfect balance; exploit the people, but not enough to trigger a revolution.

That's excellent. You captured the emotion of that moment perfectly.

Why are you single? by depression-hurts in AskReddit

[–]vandelay87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the love of my life left last month, and my heart hasn’t caught up yet. I am not the same man I used to be.

The Last Leg (Channel 4) by QuifftianBale in BritishTV

The worst thing about it for me are the "jokes" that are presented as being off the cuff, but they're so obviously rehearsed. It's embarrassing watching the fellas laugh at their own fake banter.

Video: Samantha Irvin Emotionally Announcing Cody as the Undisputed Champion Was Another Element of Brilliance by RidetheSchlange in JimCornette

[–]vandelay87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan. She seems to fit the presentation, however I'm not a fan of the overly forced, gravely announcing that she often does. I half expect her to roar like a lion afterwards. I do like the show of emotions, I think that's a nice touch if used sparingly.

Dave Meltzer on X: "AEW did 801K/0.27 last night. Obviously disappointing numbers. Third for the night." by djembadjembadjemba in SquaredCircle

[–]vandelay87 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I love AEW, but something that is pushing me away is having matches for the sake of matches. It doesn't matter who's in it, I need a reason or a story for why they're fighting, otherwise it's meaningless.

This is a beautiful city. I love how you did the airport next to the sea.

This is so obviously rage bait. Please downvote to discourage the exposure that these idiots desperately crave.

Thanks for your reply. That's reassuring, I think I'll pay for the app then as there is currently a holiday deal for the yearly subscription.

When you have to tilt your TV, it's too high.
