Der FM Scribe

@Steam will stop running on Mac OS11 systems. You must buy a new Mac to access the games YOU PAID FOR. This is an example of digital-tech blackmail to get rid of something that works perfectly so you buy more from them or lose your stuff. THIS is the scam with digital content.

@r0usty @lollujo Yeah definitely. Landscape wise, Wisconsin reminds me a lot of Finland and Sweden. Which is the best way I can describe it to Europeans who’ve never been here.

@derfmscribe @lollujo At least you got some woods and lakes there as well. Hats off, tough gig.

I’ve been totally out of the FM content loop for more than a year (following our cross-country move). It seems the style on YouTube has really changed. A lot of “simulation” saves that get a lot of views. I saw a great video by @lollujo discussing this change. Interesting… #FM24

@r0usty @lollujo That’s certainly what it looks like. And yeah…moving from Colorado to Wisconsin with 3 kids and buying a new house, whilst building the business there has been a major priority and time suck.

@derfmscribe @lollujo Wow. That kind of move has to be a handful. Personally I feel a lot of FM content has transformed more to a lab like experimentation where people test out different simulations. At least on YT.

Borussia Dortmund make the Champions League and Red Bullshit Leipzig fail to make it to any European spots. What a great way to end the Bundesliga season! 🖤💛

@SeanAmblerFM24 I doubt I’ll make any content right now.

@derfmscribe Will it be on YouTube? As your videos are well and truly missed in my household. Hope all is well.

I’ve been totally out the loop and just found out about the #FM25 cancellation. I reckon I’ll start a new #FM24 save…I haven’t played FM in many months. Not sure why, aside from lacking motivation for the game amidst many life complications (move, house buy, work, tragedy, etc.)

Happy 1st Advent from Germany. Here’s wishing you all a blessed Christmas season. 🎄🇩🇪

@FMzweierkette Danke

@derfmscribe Oh nein, mein herzliches Beileid 😢

My sister sadly passed away from cancer on Monday. My heart is truly broken. Now when I see people fighting with strangers online about games, I can only shake my head at the extreme stupidity of it all. They’re games. Enjoy them. Focus on what matters and brings joy…not the BS.

Don’t take those you love for granted. They could be gone in an instant. Nobody’s life has been worse off by 1 more hug, 1 more call, 1 more chat over coffee, or 1 more “I love you.” Life is precious and fleeting.

@StuartB94181596 @theoldzealand That’s a good question. I think it’s very possible that both will be released in 2025. As it’s an annual sports game, they have to hit the beginning of the season window. I expect FM26 to then be the more refined version of FM25.

I agree with @theoldzealand that #FM25 will be released in March and fiscal year pressure is most likely the reason. I expect the game to be a bit of a mess. I’ve been conditioned by other gaming companies to believe it’ll be a hot mess.

Well…I reckon I’ll need to find a new #FM24 save. Probably will sim the 23/24 season and see what the game spits out.

@the_alexplo It’s what I’d recommend they do

@derfmscribe If they can do an official update for the new season I don't mind

Been out of the loop for a few days. Just saw the #FM25 delay announcement. I reckon I’ll just find a new #FM24 save until next fall (I have my doubts about next March).

@BrunnenstadtBvb That was a fun and frustrating save

@derfmscribe I remember the Kaiserslautern save you had, how you got them into 1. BuLi then save them from relegation only to be fired afterwards. I think Rostock would be cool

For #FM25 I reckon a proper 🇩🇪 save is on the cards again for me. So many great options available in both the 2. Bundesliga and 3. Liga to rebuild a big club fallen on hard times. Hamburg, Köln, Hertha, Kaiserslautern, Rostock, and Dresden to just name a few I’d pick from. ⚽️

@Ivanba213 Very true. It’s been done a lot, which is why I was eyeing Rostock. Find the next Toni Kroos (who came out of their youth system).

@derfmscribe Dresden is always a fun one to do .
