Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn't feel this way at all when I played it.

I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn't land for people as successfully

I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it's worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.

Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.

I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we'd have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I've enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.

Nice little storyline. Always nice to have some from mum and dad's POV

He'd be box office on the grid though Hadjar, I think he'd be hilarious. If you think Tsunoda is bad on the radio oof!

Stoked for that and Blood and Rage early next year as well

Thanks for sharing this. I love the series so I will play this, tbqh I'm not sure these events mark Deck Nine out much from the industry as a whole sadly.

Off topic, what did y'all think of LiS2? I thought it was a real shame that it didn't do as well as they hoped.

I'm almost 100% sure the 22 brifter is the same part. 1 vs 22 seems to simply referred to 1x11 (1) or 2x11 (22). Confusing naming but on the 22 spec you would have one brifter with 2 gears and another with 11. On your bike you just have one brake and one brifter, the 11 speed.

So you just need a new SRAM Rival 11-speed brifter, which should be the same on both.

As for changing them over, you may as well replace the cables while you're doing the change. You'll need to remember to shift all the way down so that the holes for the cable line up nicely. Tons of YouTube videos on how to do this.

You will likely also need some cable cutters, a 5mm hex wrench and whatever tools the brifter needs for opening/loosening.

You will need to adjust the gear cable tension to ensure smooth shifting. This should only require tightening or loosening using the barrel adjuster on the derailleur, and shouldn't require any changes to the high or low limit screws on the derailleur. Again, plenty of YouTube videos for this.

Good luck and if in doubt, go to the bike shop

He's definitely calmed down this season I would say

If true, he will need to DEMOLISH Tsunoda utterly in 6 races to avoid any negative sentiment

I rate Lawson but Yuki surely must be already be thinking wtf after Checo's total lack of performance this season

If Ricciardo didn't actually know until Singapore then that's... pretty messed up

Ah you could be right there, although it might not be the wisest move on a personal level.

I forgot that Ayumu Iwasa had done fp1 in Suzuka this year, so I hope he's still in the mix. I'd love to see him in formula 1 proper. Maybe he'll get the call up if Lawson dominates Tsunoda and gets Checo's seat
