Europe does do the no home team merch in the away section thing. Depending on the game, there will even be certain businesses in the surrounding neighbourhood that only away fans can enter.

Ah i see. Yeah they definitely wouldn’t sell away team merch at a stadium.

Tottenham’s stadium has a section for away fans. All football stadiums in Europe do.

I’m glad time has vindicated Sebulba. Everyone was so cruel to him because he “tried to kill a child” during the Boonta Eve Classic even though he was literally Darth Vader

I saw this screenshot going around, found this detail charming, looked more into the game (I've never played a Silent Hill) & decided to buy it. Btw these are the "unimportant" background assets AI idiots think AI should be used for
Screenshot of a Twitter post by Val / @shegoingtogloat - it's a Silent Hill screenshot showing a close up of a cork board. On it, a paper says "Welcome to Shorefront Family Clinic" in a classic wiggly 3D font style. The tweet text is: Is this a Silent Hill asset made using PowerPoint lol"

*coughs* Well anyway I'm writing stuff for PC Gamer for three weeks. Here's something I wrote: www.pcgamer.com/games/horror...

The scariest part of Silent Hill: Townfall? It's not the monsters—it's British interior design
The latest Silent Hill game goes overboard with tiny details of Scottish coastal life.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

One of Hideo Kojima's real talents is that he would have exactly this idea but the stew would be dropped off by a drone that sings a little jingle which can alert enemies if they're in range. You then get a phone call from a nuclear scientist who warns you not to eat too much starch and dairy.

Just a PSA for all the other major publishers: You can’t make a GTA 6. Don’t have any meetings about it. Don’t put together any pitch decks. Don’t preemptively doom your workforce and the industry any further than you already have. Leave it alone.

On this day 15 years ago, we launched our first game, Bastion. To everyone who helped the Kid survive the Calamity, thank you!!🙏 You're the reason we've been able to carry on as an independent studio ever since.
Proper story's supposed to start at the beginning. Ain't so simple with this one.

When you say “UK media” you’re talking about The Sun, The Daily Mail, and a few lads on TalkSport. Depressingly popular outlets, but very easy to ignore.

norman @normanq.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
As for the lad who stuck a flare up his arse, well—that was just funny. I’ve seen sports fans from all different countries partaking in equally-childish stunts. I just think you could say “these are not people that deserve to win anything” about subsections of any fanbase in the world, personally.

norman @normanq.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
I don’t really hear the 5-1 thing getting brought up much these days but it was a high point in an otherwise mostly-turgid era for the English national team so it’s hardly surprising that it has remained in the cultural consciousness.

Surely that type of reaction isn’t exclusive to the English? Like, yeah, fans who support a team that isn’t yours celebrating is insufferable. That’s sports.

Can I try to make everyone feel a little better? Only eight teams have won the World Cup, ever, in its nearly century-long history. And England is one of them - and there or thereabouts for some years now. It’ll happen.

A thread that would be more interesting if the World Cup was held annually and if more than 8 countries had won it
