I must be the only person in the universe that thinks DLSS 5 looks amazing. I’m somewhat regretting my AMD 9070XT purchase. Only somewhat though, it’s brilliant so far but the next GPU will be Nvidia for sure.

The lighting improvements look great to me. Yes my concern would be the artistic integrity of the game. It’s up to developers to embed though, isn’t it? I can sorta understand the backlash, but the strength of it is interesting. Quite polarising.

At Villa he wasn’t involved in the build up all that much, and I wonder whether you think he will be at Newcastle? When fit and sharp his ball carrying is elite, his finishing is good and his cutbacks from the edge of the box are class. I’ll miss him, he has a high ceiling.

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Bit surprised he hasn’t signed a new contract, but I suspect promise of more playing time, CL, bigger wages, massive club, great project and a fresh start are why he’s going. He’s not really a CM in an Emery midfield, but Howe will get him pressing like a monster there.

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Fucks sake, I hope Villa know what they’re doing. Ramsay is a profile we have covered in other players and he’s not hit his high ceiling for a few years, but damn what a player you have on your hands. I wouldn’t sell him, even for £40 million.

There’s a free trial so worth using this to see if it works and see what latency is like, but the difference between paid and free tiers is huge. I’m a bit fan, I use it on my Lenovo handheld to get A+ games.

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

If it’s just for one game, it’s probably poor value a good gaming PC is over £1k. GeForce now is a good shout.Ive got the premium subscription, absolutely no noticeable latency for me, but I’m not a pro gamer by any means. The visuals you get are incredible.

Good grief, often it’s too early to say but not many players can do that at 15 to experience professionals, even in pre season.

I am looking for excellent freelance writers who specialise in sport (not football, got that covered), music and entertainment. I've always wanted to do The Set Pieces again. I felt like if I knew then what I know now it would have been so much better. And now's my chance! So....who's good?

What a great idea for a pod, I’m astounded that none of the big sporting journalism platforms thought of doing this.

So finally finished my big AVFC 24/25 thread (having a toddler & newborn is hard man). Our transfer activity is going to be quite limited, so I'll focus on why we had a down year & how we might improve with the same players; specifically turning tools into production in our new 22-25 year old core.

Humanities subjects would be difficult for AI, but even if AI could mark multiple choice and keyword questions and was able to mark as much as it could recognise and leave the rest to humans then it would speed things up.

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

I actually think digital exams are more likely. We trialed OCR’s digital mocks recently and they worked well. The only problem is the awarding bodies don’t work together to standardise any process. Don’t know much about AI marking but I can see a limited case for it. Tick boxes 😀

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

I run exams at a secondary school, in person is the only way in this setting I believe. In the future digital exams could work well if well implemented but the pilots have been kicked back repeatedly.

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

Anyone else surprised that we can’t compete for players with a nation state club who financially dopes their way to success, breaking the rules as they go, with one of the greatest managers in the game? Calma Villa fans, it’s all good. #avfc

Just tuned into the England game, this result is an absolute disgrace. Serious questions to be asked of Tuchel. I’m sure he will blame the players again mind.

HMT won’t care how it’s paid for or how this affects the club, they’ll just want to be certain of the investment.

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

That’s not what I’m suggesting. I’m suggesting that fans are being promised something amazing, but we don’t know how it will be paid for and how that will affect the club in the future. I tend to think that’s important, and I would have thought it would be more transparent.

100

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

To be honest, I’m surprised at how little scrutiny is being applied by Blues fans. The plans look brilliant, but doesn’t the bottom line matter? We were almost burned by Dr Tony, and while I don’t think anything like that is happening, there is a chance this isn’t actually what the fans expect.

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

So all external investment? Does that mean that the stadium will be owned by investors that will take dividends?

100

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

I mean they might if they were in the Premier League, but they’ve gotta get there first. They’ve gotta build it and finance it too. Spurs are one of the most profitable clubs in the world and their stadium costs are difficult to manage…

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

I can understand why they are getting excited, but I’m seeing zero scrutiny on social media. I mean, are these Americans really going to gift Birmingham City hundreds of millions to build a new stadium without wanting a return?

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Genuine question. Does anyone know how Birmingham City’s new stadium is being paid for? #bcfc #avfc

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

It’s clear what they’re trying to do, it’s a tilt and I think they need to change. But neither are anywhere near world class, or best in the league in their position. It makes them better, but how much better? United haven’t had a coach that improves their players since Ferguson.

It’s not cool to point out that these are basically miniaturised PCs that need significant cooling so that they don’t blow up, is it?

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Unfortunately that is tolerated over there. Genuinely concerning how far right and extreme views are amplified and promoted.

Isn’t this one of the defining metrics in recent elections? IE, not whether someone is popular, but whether they are preferred over others?

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

If that’s your thing fair enough, but “my team is better than yours” is something I gave up on first school. Unfortunately, this place hasn’t taken over from X in that regard so I feel like I’ve lost a great resource.

000

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

I’m genuinely sad about X being what it is. It used to be a brilliant place to engage with people about football and learn about the game. Now the level of discussion is appalling, it’s pathetic partisan takes and fans trying to score points against each other.

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Does it not depend on where Reforms votes have come from, and where the Tories are bleeding votes from and whether Lib Dem and Green voters will be squeezed come election time? If the story is Tories-> Reform that’s more fatal to the Tories than Labour?

Was recording of my son at bath time and forgot to stop recording and put my phone in my pocket, so I’ve got 30 minutes audio of our bedtime routine together including bed time stories. It’s the best video I’ve ever made, I’ll be coming back to this for my years to come 🥹

It always seems odd to me when a CB is subbed when they’re not on a yellow. I get the sense that Mings might be a player that needs to be managed for the rest of his career. Maybe I’m wrong.

We will gunning for Spurs next week. The only thing we will need to be mindful of is not getting too excited.

I thought the Tories are bad, I now have a fully Reform town council. The candidates have promised nothing tangible that they can achieve, campaigned on national issues.

Don’t know what the right strategy is to be honest, just know front foot is the way forward. Their full backs have alway been the issue for us.

010

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Agree, so obvious to say but getting that first goal is so important. My concern is because we’ve been caught out by Palace in the past and he changed the whole system in the last game against them, that he does something similar at Wembley.

100

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Yup, so many parallels with PSG but City nowhere near as physically potent. Goes to show, good pressing isn’t just about athleticism, it’s something I wish we did a bit more often to truly be more dominant. Either play the press or high line IMO, too passive yesterday.

110

Dean Moulder @deanmoulder.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

I get the logic, they are inevitably going to have more of the ball. Problem is, we lose momentum and hand the initiative to our opponents. Then we get pinned back and jittery. Same against Forest, we handed them the initiative in the second half.

That hurts. A lot. We can only blame ourselves. Go win the FA Cup and make sure we finish as high as we can in the league now. #avfc
