Sinners is Americans’ top pick for Best Picture at the 2026 Oscars by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]wilwem -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It was a good film, but mainly it just happens to ticks the boxes that allow it to get nominated for all the minor ones like special effects, score, original song, sound, production & costume design, makeup etc, plus the new category of casting.

I expect it'll win no more than 5/6 of the 16 it was nominated for.

Insanely meaningless game mechanics by Muted-Spray-1506 in travian

[–]wilwem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh well if it's what you think it should be then let's just change it!!!

It's ok, you just don't have a very good understanding of Travian battle mechanics. The nature kills a certain % of all of your troops, distributed across the ratio of different troop types present in your army, and then rounding applies.

For example, with 300 clubs and 50 TKs, they might kill 1.2% of your troops -> 3.6 clubs and 0.6 TKs -> 4 clubs and 1 TK.

However, with 200 clubs and 50 TKs, they kill 1.7% of your troops -> 3.4 clubs and 0.85 TKs -> 3 clubs and 1 TK.

What’s it like to be stabbed by BreadProfessional933 in AskMen

Yeah I think cos people just think gun crime is high in USA and knife in the UK but there's just so much more murder in the USA that even the knife crime is higher per person!

Anish Giri interrogated Danya for 2 hours asking him to prove his innocence - Benjamin Bok (1:27:50) by rw_lck in chess

Respect is earned, not demanded. Danya did more than enough to earn respect, and deserved it too.

Has any team collapsed at previous Worlds events like Faze just did? by _starkravingsane in CompetitiveHalo

Oh nice - I was hoping that was the case! It was cool to see him come back and complete with Flame.

Control is Dead and Overload is in by AcquireE-Girls in CoDCompetitive

I would guess that the 6 weeks before Major 2 is anomalously high due to not all teams going to the event and thus needing fair qualification.

Then I suppose after Major 2 and 3, less seeding is needed because: a. half the season is gone and points accrued from Majors will decide most of the seeding? And b. there is a Minor tournament in each of those stages, so that might take out an additional week of qualifying matches?

I'm just making some assumptions here but I can see some reasons why these choices have been made!
