I'm not afraid of spiders but what the f*** is that thing???

It is! Been playing for about 2 hours now and I've enjoyed it so far... Quite slow paced though, so might not be everyone's cup of tea but I like that as it's more realistic than just progressing through thousands of years of human history in a blink of an eye. Very relaxing too.

I mean we still don't know his agenda... Maybe he's some eccentric weirdo just craving for attention. Or maybe it's something much more sinister and we might soon find out that a lot of people have been conned out of their money. I think he's far from being an idiot or otherwise he wouldn't have managed to get a bunch of rich investors behind the scenes and run a dodgy company as a one man show to sponsor an F1 team... Here's the tweet in question now that Twitter is back online:

Will do! Have you tried it yet?

This is just getting better... Bringing out the popcorn to see how the story develops Twitter is down now for some reason so I can't post the link to the tweet but the shady dude with the ZZ Top beard (William Storey - the villain of the story apparently haha) has posted from the official Rich Energy account again: Rich Energy‏ @rich_energy 7 min.7 minuten geleden Meer @rich_energy CEO @_williamstorey has commented "The ludicrous statement by minority shareholders cosy with @redbull & @WhyteBikes is risible. Their attempted palace coup has failed. I control all of the assets of @rich_energy & have support of all key stakeholders" #RichEnergy

Just got Dawn of Man today... Only tried the tutorial so far as I still have some work to do today, but it looks good. Starts with a small stone age settlement and the early objectives are the usual hunting and gathering, simple structure and tool building, crafting, tech research covering 10000 years of humanity's evolution and the likes; judging from tutorial it goes quite in depth with that but there are also ways to automate tasks if one is not a fan of micromanaging.

Remember when a scamming Nigerian prince became a co-owner of Arrows?...

It's getting even weirder - William Storey (the man with the beard) is said to have been removed as Rich Energy owners didn't authorise yesterday's tweet and they are willing to work with Haas and are trying to save the relationship now He apparently also called Haas "milk float at back of grid" What a mess.

Red Bull are running a James Bond theme for the Silverstone this year.

Maybe it's a bit of both? A part of if is definitely in his head due to pressure and expectations but I found the quote in that article about Gasly and his engineers experimenting with different setups previously and jumping from one extreme to the other very interesting as well; could be an indication that his driving style is not suited for this current RB15 and he hasn't been able to adapt and change his style accordingly so far?

This was their tweet to the company they stole the logo from: Classy

According to someone from the other forums who went there to check the place listed as their contact address it's now a medium-sized building in Wandsworth that operates on a rent-a-desk-by-the-week basis with a single receptionist for all the different companies/tenants. All about them smells like some kind of a bluff at best or a scam/money laundering at worst. Hope Haas got paid in advance.

You've got a point there but no proper sponsor would terminate the contract because of one poor weekend... There are reports that their twitter account could have been hacked. But at any case, this "Rich Energy" was shady from the very beginning, nobody knows who they are and where the money is coming from (IF Haas actually got any money yet), it's just a solo bearded guy, the drinks that they are supposed to be selling aren't really available anywhere, they stole a logo of Whyte Bikes and are in court because of that, so if this termination of contract is true, it's probably because they are trying to hide their dodgy financials from the court.

Well that is Rich

Absolutely possible given the way that Frank "Poker Face" Baumann deals in the transfer market

Pressure on Gasly grows. https://f1i.com/news/347240-marko-no-cracks-in-gaslys-rb15-so-its-time-to-deliver.html

Yeah... Gregoritsch was Kohfeldt's preferred player and he also wanted to join us it seems, but Augbsurg's demands are just too much for us. Especially given that we already spent money on Füllkrug and Friedl, and are apparently looking for a defensive midfielder and a fullback still.

Deal... although it might take me longer than that depending on my work load...

Wayne it is then...

I sadly only managed to catch a few glimpses this year as I had a busy weekend so missed most of it except the official presentation of the new Porsche 911 RSR for the next season... And of course the Beast of Turin never fails to disappoint!

Hmmm that wouldn't be a fair deal then...Alright I'll give you a few other options to choose from then: Westworld Missions (I think it's relatively unknown and maybe hard to find - it's this one: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6445112/) The Expanse Wayne Cobra Kai

So Grujic decided to stay at Hertha instead. We reportedly agreed terms with Gregoritsch already; still need to reach an agreement on a transfer fee with Augsburg.

Hehe what if I made you rewatch LOST?

Honda targets faster qualifying mode as "next step". https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/honda-qualifying-mode-boost-target/4490133/ Planned for Monza apparently.

Nah; never made it past episode 5 or 6... Twice. It's just too weird and too trippy for me.
