Before the update I was able to one-shot most Heroic 1 bosses and averaging about 180million ish damage off of about 3-4 floods and now I’m lucky to hit 60 million. Wtf?? Is it just me or has something been tweaked badly?
Yeah I’m never forgiving that old crow for the butcher job he’s done on our image globally in that Mexico game.
Here we are vs South Korea having PSG, Bayern and co players chasing shadows vs our local lads. All because we’ve finally decided to play some footy at the last hour.
They’re pinned in and yes, we’re wasting chance after chance but the gents have been roasting them over hot coals and serving them like gimbap with a side of kimchi. With a touch more polish we could comfortably be 3 goals up.
Keep tapping about how “rubbish” our boys are. The real ones know what we’ve always been capable of.
God bless the Republic

Amid the glee from some at our incredibly poor showing vs Mexico and the hot takes from folks with a frankly explicable but let’s just call it “inexplicable” disdain for our national football team I think it bears remembering that the very same Morocco team currently going blow for blow with Brazil has lost to Bafana Bafana in 3/3 of our most recent meetings since 2022.
The difference in their showing vs ours? They’ve been set up to win by their coach while ours saw Mexico and set us up to defend while quaking in his takkies.
Unfortunately the horrific display vs Mexico looks to likely spell doom for us at this tournament and will likely stick to the lads’ names for their careers and in their heads for a long time to come. That said, it should not be seen as some referendum on our ability on the world stage. That’d just be foolish.
Thankfully though, Hugo Broos is set to retire after the WC and hopefully he goes gently into that good night back to Belgium to enjoy his retirement faaaaar away from our NT.
There is much to look forward to. We have a deep well of young talent waiting to be properly platformed to win and the reigning u20 AFCON champions waiting in the wings. Between now and 2030 big Ws are coming. Keep the faith, back our boys or keep it shut.
Long live the Republic🫶🏾🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I want to prefix my question/point of discussion by saying that this is in no way intended to drive vitriol the way of OP or any other posters who’ve shared similar. Just seeking genuine good-faith input from my compatriots and kids born in the late 90s-mid 2000s. Discomfort is normal, don’t be dooses🤙🏾.
Looking at photos like this, I’ve always wondered whether we focus too much on the aesthetics of apartheid rather than the actual machinery both of the regime from 1948-‘94 as well as those that preceded it from even before 1910 and regrettably, endure into the present day.
We endlessly circulate images of segregated benches, buses and beaches because they’re visually shocking and morally straightforward but obviously the enduring consequences of colonialism and apartheid in South Africa stem less from whether white and black people sat together and more from the laws that governed land ownership, education, urbanisation, employment, wealth accumulation and political power.
This isn’t to say that the aforementioned images aren’t powerful in their own right to some degree but do you guys rate we see so much of them that we almost downplay the actual mechanical causes of the world-leading inequality we see today?
Growing up we hardly heard about the actual architecture of oppression that existed long before apartheid became official policy. Legislation like the Glen Grey Act of 1894, various pass laws, labour controls, land dispossession measures, and other colonial-era policies which were already engineering a society designed to extract black labour while limiting black ownership, mobility and political power.
We saw what I generously call snippets of how the Union of South Africa inherited and expanded many of these systems through policies like the Natives Land Act of 1913, the Native Urban Areas Act of 1923, the Colour Bar, job reservation policies and numerous other measures which entrenched a racialised economic order decades before the National Party came to powerbut the focus has largely been on Apartheid itself although less how Apartheid then refined, expanded and bureaucratised the already existing architecture that has and would go on to have far more of an effect on our nation and its makeup for generations than 2 scummy tannies being scummy on a bench.
Like yeah man I’m a Xhosa gent from a rugby school in the EC and I’m currently with my Portuguese gf living in a small WC town so I know quite well that a rude racist can ruin your afternoon but that’s beyond meh in comparison to how a century of legislation can shape the life chances of your grandchildren.
Why do we spend so much time discussing the former and comparatively little discussing and adequately addressing the latter?
Further to that, do you guys think this may be linked to how easily some can identify interpersonal racism/prejudice while finding it impossible to identify its much more consequential structural manifestation? Do you guys think that links in any way to the prevailing sentiment we’ve seen recently from certain figures that “people don’t eat ideology” and that governance is no more than fixing potholes, water pipes and robots and then letting the dice fall as they may?
This is just a google images pic, yeah I know the stars aren't in proper formation lmao
God, it would be so nice to get to play DLL as an actual game and not a slideshow. It would also be great for the movement stick to not just STOP mid sprint and for the rest of the buttons to work as specified. It’s genuinely impossible to play this heaping pile of flaming dogshit these days. From the controls working when they’re in the mood to to the defenders having an extra few chromosomes etc.. this game has gotten demonstrably worse than 2-3 years ago.
The first two pics are me a year ago and the rest is me 5 minutes ago.
I’ve been using shampoos and conditioners specifically for black hair, my hair is 4C high porosity, been rubbing all sorts of Amla Oils, Jamaican black castor oils etc.. in, been using been using all kinds of leave in conditioning creams, picking out once or twice a month, sleeping with a bonnet, everything and still nothing while some bros just wet their hair and grow 10 inches.
I’m tired man. Hairline going in reverse, fuckin crop circle in the middle of my head.
Is it time to just get comfy with keeping it short/shaved until I can go get a transplant? Is there anything I could be missing or is there just no cure for bad hair growth genes?
