This might sound stupid but I never bought the argument that the US sucks at soccer(which, we don't really but thats if you consider any team outside of like 6 superpowers to be trash) because all of our good athletes play other more popular sports.

Would Lebron James be a soccer superstar if he learned it from a young age like basketball? I don't know, because the sports are completely different.

Okay I have found it. Oddly enough the menu design looks oriented the way I remember but not the actual look

but it was CD sampler volume 9

I don't remember some of those games, but I guess I just didn't play 'em.

damn...

No! It was not the pizza hut demo disc, because i see games i know it didn't have(Tony Hawk, FFVIII, Gran Turismo) with games I know it did.

The hunt continues.

oh shit it may have been one of those pizza hut ones. For some reason I can't definitively say it had all those games on it, though the one I was thinking of was Medevil

If i saw the actual menus I probably would know immediately, but I am fairly confident it was a pizza hut one. I don't recall getting it from pizza hut but hell i don't know maybe so.

If I could just see a video of somebody simply flicking through the menus.

I got it in '99 I think. It had plenty of games on it, if I recall correctly: Metal Gear Solid 1, Brave Fencer Musashi, NHL 99(or whatever year), Legend of Legaia(I think), I am actually unable to remember any more. Maybe one of the Cool Boarders? Another game was kind of an adventure game with a horror/undead theme....

IS there an easy to figure out which one? They made like ten trillion demo discs for PS1 and PS2 so

I voted an 8, because I know myself well, love myself, do not get depressed...though I do get some anxiety for certain things, but since I am so at peace with myself, I still rate it highly.

How many versions of this song are there in radio rotation? At can think of at least 2 for sure, but then I recall hearing 1-2 others, too.

"nobody wants to work" because all kinds of businesses have up help wanted signs or have signs saying they are short staffed a lot of the time.

People want to work...they just don't want to work for insulting wages, and if your business pays like $9 an hour, who on earth is going to want to work there when way more can be had as base wages elsewhere?

Something else about the new shows is there still are the couch segments where they rip on music videos but now it's half music videos and half youtube videos....I can't recall, but I feel like there would have been uproar about it when announced they they would also be talking over youtube videos, but they are just as comical and good as the music videos.

Like, tell me this isn't an all time top 10 couch moment:

There is something about it. The boys are both dumb as rocks, still, but they have a new layer of intelligence that, while still dumb, makes them even funnier when they do get those moments of ingenuity.

The realization they are both locked out because they are both outside the house is one of the funniest scenes I have seen in any cartoon, ever.

Okay, but, counterpoint: what if you actually didn't mess up in your life so far?

ya ever thought of that?

"Wahl was covering his eighth World Cup. He wrote Monday on his website that he had visited a medical clinic while in Qatar.
"My body finally broke down on me. Three weeks of little sleep, high stress and lots of work can do that to you,'' Wahl wrote. "What had been a cold over the last 10 days turned into something more severe on the night of the USA-Netherlands game, and I could feel my upper chest take on a new level of pressure and discomfort."

SO qatar coulda killed him, obviously possible with highly corrupt government.

But...it seems possible he DID collapse.

I've gotten better with drinking in my 30s actually. There was a time in my 20s where drinking more than a few drinks just put me to sleep. Now I can handle more alcohol without falling asleep, though I rarely get more than a heavy buzz. I am sure actual hangovers(the kind where your entire next day is shot and everything feels like pain, not just a groggy start where you recover after) would probably suck worse than in my 20s, though.

A desk of cheez-its.

I think by now we've established that everything is inherently worthless and that nothing in the universe has any kind of objective purpose.

But that's okay. I don't feel we need to have a purpose beyond what we feel our purpose is. There is nothing higher doling out that role. It's us to determine what our individual purpose is and go do it.

Discs look nearly flawless and the DRM code insert is still in there.

is this game even any good? like, on the sneaking suspicion I have to download origin, is it worth it, even at $2.99?

Because if the game sucks i'll just throw it in the trash rather than download Origin.

Very true.

Baseball is complex but i actually dont know about more complex than soccer. The soccer tactics can be insane

people act like soccer is low scoring and therefore bad....I don't know. If there is only going to be a couple of goals a game, if that, it means I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for that moment or two that breaks the game open. However, some games are just bad 1-0 affairs, some are ridiculously exciting.

I dont have any comics to share but that sideways circle in the "O" in sonic makes me mad for some reason.

I get why people would hate pug breeders and people who buy pugs, thus perpetuating the unncessary suffering.

But this doesn't explain why people would hate pugs themselves.

And for what its worth "punching a pug in the penis" is one of the best cards against humanity cards.

Yeah so the cheapest I see the Yamazaki 18 for online is still over a grand. I wonder, what is the reason for this? 18 years isn't super old, so I am confused.

I would say it probably isn't worth it unless it could be held as an investment, but I am also not super familiar with the really expensive stuff. After a certain point it has to be diminishing returns.

I'll take good English commentary over spanish any day(in terms of goal calls at least), because I find "GOALLLLL" repeated over and over to near comical levels to be annoying after a minute.

But ANYTHING beats stupid English calls like "You could not write a script like this!" or other "profound" heat of the moment sayings.

i feel like for those situations you just need to make smart choices(like, a small or medium vs large when ordering out) but I wouldn't stress out over it. Some days are kinda shot, but you just get back at it when it's over. I say just enjoy it, don't worry, and go back to work later.

You will feel so much better when you lose and lose.

The best feeling of all is when you go a few days straight of eating at a caloric defecit(in my case 1,500-2,000 a day) andc you don't feel constant bloat because your body has time to actually process a normal amount of food. You don't feel as fat.

I feel like if most people(who are overweight) just went 5 straight days eating a similar number of calories they would realize just how good it feels to not constantly have a stomach full of food.

Every once in a while. It's over 750, so there is nothing to really worry about.

i feel like the silver lining to trump being president is trump. he cant stay away, he is toxic, most of his picked candidates lost this week, etc.

The graphics are kinda ugly but there is a certain aesthetic to them I like. I also think running around in places like Booster's Castle is kinda fun.

The game itself is kinda simple without much going on but I like the world!

Greene and Boebert are the two most do-nothing politicians I have ever seen. All they do is talk crazy stuff but I don't know if they have actually gotten anything at all done.

I don't feel like wristwatches will ever die, because it is a utilitarian tool in many cases. Is is significantly more efficient checking the time on a watch than a phone and there is minimal risk of it dying on you while out and about, so it'll almost always work like intended.

Casio makes a lot of great watches for $20 or less. It won't just be the high end surviving. Casio has tons of diehard fans, myself one of 'em.

That's Federal, baby!

real leagues dont have a dang "post season"

Penalty kicks are kind of weird because in most cases the goalie cannot react fast enough to be skilled. they either have to guess the right side or the kicker must have a tell.

But you can't expect players to run like that for much more than 120 minutes if the game has to be decided

if you hate shootouts you'd fucking hate how major league soccer used to do it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRITqS6WEn0

I this this is neat, but people are saying if the players were more skilled they would score nearly all of the time.

OH SHIT SOMEBODY ALREADY MENTIONED THIS

I wish they had picked something cooler than "commanders" but i don't really care they changed their name.

edit: as mentioned above, i was also becoming fond of "football team" because in soccer a LOT of teams are just called X football club, so it isn't really all that weird. I don't even think a lot of soccer teams even have nicknames or are referred to as a "team name" like in the US.

You guessed it: United By Fate.

Is this the most obvious reference a band has ever had in relation to video games without being an actual video game themed band/coverband/meme band/whatever.

Anyways I kinda like 'em

i dunno dude

the rollerball on their website is $300, while the ballpoint is like $70 so

if you're happy with it then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks though

Yeah nobody is paying that price. They list their fountain pen one at $400, but it is sold all over the place for half that.

The rollerball can be had cheaper than the fountain. I found it from a seller on walmart for $50, when I normally have seen it 70+

I...don't think this is fake...if so i'll be like the fool who thought Apothic Red was 1976 Heitz Cellars.

Lamy is a German pen brand.

I bought a Lamy 2000 rollerball. I like rollerball because it is smooth and writes in a pinch. I am not familiar enough with fountain pens to say, but yeah I like my rollerball.

I've heard the 2000 is one of if not the best pen ever made. This is of course subjective but I've heard that floated around, perhaps because to some people something HAS to be the best.

So, what do I think of it?

First of all, it feels nice in the hand. It isn't too heavy or too light. I don't mind a heavy pen, and people do mistake heaviness for quality, but this one is a nice balance. easy to write with and in no way feels cheap. It is 24 grams. A Parker Jotter with a ceramic barrel is 14 grams, and a much larger other Parker I have I forget the name of is 47.

The finishing on it is very nice. The clip is spring loaded and feels nice. A lot of pens(Cross), have the clipping mechanism a weak point. This one doesn't feel 100% secure, there is a tiny bit of play, but nothing worrying. The spring mechanism makes it much harder to bend the clip, which is very appreciated. The cap clicks into place with a satisfying noise, and when posted, it feels secure. I have no doubts about its ability to stay on when posted. The cap to open up the pen and change the refill is very nicely machined into the design so much so I didn't even notice it at first. I had thought it was a front loader like most pens, but it's actually in the back. There is a very faint line showing where the cap is, it is so nicely integrated you almost can't even see it. This prevents the grip from being loose if you open it up and don't screw it on all the way.

The finish is also very nice. it has one of those slight woodgrain looks to it, but it's actually a material called Makrolon. It feels a bit like a faux-wood deal but it feels nice. It isn't too hard or too soft in the grip, which makes this very easy to write with.

So...how does it write? It feels nice in the hand, and it just glides. The ink is nice...I'd say on par with other nice brands. Nothing exceptional but still a quality ink. This is just the Lamy M68 rollerball refill in black. I have bought a few other Lamy M options but they haven't came yet. So I do not know how those inks, in other colors compare. This refill came with the pen, and the tip was not covered, as a result it skipped a little when I opened the package. It is fine now.

So, like...what's the deal?

To me it's just a nice pen. I get a little more enjoyment out of my Parker 1M rollerball, but that's because it has blue ink(Lamy will soon), the Parker medium is a hair thicker, and the weight and look of it I like more. But make no mistake, the Lamy 2000 is a joy to write with. While I like other things about my Parker, the Lamy can definitely be picked up at a moments notice to write whatever with. It makes good contact with paper and the pen tip doesn't scratch at all.

IS this worth the $50 I paid for it?

Yeah I'd say so. This is the kinda pen that you can own and refill for the rest of your life. One may think $50 for a pen, I would think $50 and that's IT because i'll keep and cherish this forever. That isn't how pens work because like with watches you just keep buying 'em, but you get my point. For YOU, you wouldn't need to ever purchase another pen again.

If they dont want to provide customers an easy method to watch the movie, they may as well be on their knees begging people to pirate regardless. They have no right to complain (not that weird al is)

I've downloaded music I would purchase digitally but didn't because its only on apple music or amazon, and I don't use or support either. It sucks, but if a good avenue doesn't exist, I don't care.
