Gaming HQ / Re: Path of Exile 2
Last post by frunk - Today at 07:57:57 AM0.4 is announced. Sounds fine. I'll probably try Druid and I'll have to look through the rebalancing to see what they did, but far too much of the development work is going into parts I'll likely not get to (endgame).

Last post by Josquius - Today at 06:52:12 AMLots of great responses about to the fifa peace prize.
"he won the bellend'or"
"what next? The NFL Laureate in Physics?"
"imagine being the second winner of the fifa peace prize"
Few call rugby football in 2025 but go back maybe 40-50 years and beyond and it does start to become more common.
Lots of rugby clubs called football club for instance.
I had a PE teacher (so much later than 50 years ago) who was a big rugby fan and insisted on always calling football soccer as rugby was an equally valid and superior football.
It's funny that a lot of people have this idea that "soccer" is such an Americanism when really it's more of a public school / rugby fanism.
Might I propose Yankball? :p

If this doesn't bring down MAGA, nothing will.
There is no sport called "football." There are many sports that are types of football, but there are also many sports that are called "racing." People just drop the qualifier to fotball for their own local football types (Association, American, Rugby, Australian, etc).
Not that sch a sophisticated notion is something Trump could understand.
Nobody calls rugby football. Calling American Rugby football is just extremely silly. It adds insult to injury that because of it you call the sport which you actually play by putting foot to ball "soccer".
