@ThanosReXXX - I almost used the Drago comparison in my last post, but that’s exactly what your description reminded me of. That is all a very interesting perspective. Football is bigger than ever here, and the American women are the main reason. There’s still a lot of other sports distractions going on right now that keep the World Cup from being the focal point of the sports calendar.
I don’t know what to say about the soccer/football thing. I’m very careful to call it football here on NL, but I guess it’s just good ole Merican arrogance. Football is a poor descriptor for American football, so naturally, we’re going to take the name and call the sport the entire rest of the plays something else entirely. And then expect people to deal with that. Haha, I don’t know, it’s crazy.
I guess I’m not surprised we’ve approached it from a mathematical/scientific perspective with an intent to dominate, especially since the sport is something we’ve had to cultivate here in the States; with a strong focus developing within the last 40-50 years.
I’m very much looking forward to Sunday. And yes, you’ve caught me, I missed the reference at the top of your last post. I can’t figure out what it’s from?
@bimmy-lee Well, it's basically a hint about the reason that I initially missed your reply, because you called me ThanksReXXX instead of ThanosReXXX, which is why I made the joke about being addressed and thanked at the same time...

@ThanosReXXX - Haha, thought it was a quote from a book or movie. Hilarious, I’ll leave it for posterity. Last time I trust Siri with your name, and I thought she had you memorized last week.
As a casual fan, I’m probably the last person who should be talking about football in the US. I just like the World Cup and have for a while, and I’ve really enjoyed the run of this particular US team.
Busy, busy day since I more or less worked today. Happy 4th of July to my fellow 'Muricans!
@Octane Yep! Definitely a weird experience lol. I'm experiencing a few side effects, but just the short-term ones. Currently dealing with the mild light halos at night. I can safely drive at least. XD
@ThanosReXXX I was sitting at a -6.25 in one eye and at -5.75 in the other. My vision was fine until something was about 10-12 cm from my face. Then it would start fuzzing out ever so slightly and progress from there.
Suffice it to say that I couldn't safely drive without anything aiding my eyes. That would've been disastrous! And to think I used to laugh when Velma lost her glasses....
Currently playing: Pokemon Scarlet DLC, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch)
@Heavyarms55 Wow, that's crazy. They must've goofed up then.
Speaking of anime, I haven't watched too much of it (though I watched a lot of Pokemon, Digimon, and Sonic X episodes as a kid. Dabbled into stuff like Dragon Ball Z back in the Toonami days, as well). I did watch a bit of Fullmetal Alchemist on Netflix recently and I liked it, so I should get to watching more episodes of that show. I watched a good chunk of Seven Deadly Sins and Death Note, as well.

Hey Nintendo Lifers, as yesterday the 4th of July was my nation's independence day i thought i might show some patriotizem. I did this by selecting a fireworks profile pic. Unbenounced to me, apparently yesterday was also my profile anniversary. So it appears it will be fireworks for me for next few months as i'm stuck with em.
That is true for the pics that are shown on the articles and forums pages themselves @HobbitGamer. But not the one on Nintendolife's homepage where all the new articles and the last 8 forums to have a post are located. So basically just the last 8 forums to get a post so no biggie.
@Tyranexx Ah.. yes, in that case, I can understand someone undergoing the procedure. Probably would do so myself as well. You can't laugh at cartoon characters, though. Since they're not real, it doesn't count...
As for driving: not that it's needed anymore, but you could have always added a -6 windshield to your car...
@Morpheel Hm... getting mesmerized by clear tea... Some people are very easily entertained, I suppose.
Some weird tea varieties you got over there, if some of them produce cloudy liquids. Over here, all tea is clear. There's only a color difference. The only way for me to get any kind of cloud in my tea, is to add some milk...
@Heavyarms55 Full Metal Alchemist the best anime? No way, man. The best anime series ever is obviously the Legend of the Overfiend saga, aka Urotsukidoji.
Nah, just kidding. Agreed on Full Metal Alchemist being really good, but there's hundreds more, and I've collected quite a few over the years, so I find it quite difficult to say which one is the best, also because my taste is quite varied, so I like a whole lot of different anime series and movies. Maybe I'll browse through my collection somewhere in the next couple of days, to come up with a few good ones of my own, that might pique @MarioLover92's interest as well.
@BacklogBlues I've no idea how you came by that idea, because your profile pic can't exist out of more than one image, and there are no different ones on different pages or topics. You can only ever have one. The only thing that is true, and that is probably what happened to you, is that the picture isn't immediately updated everywhere, so you'll see your new picture in the top right corner, but not in the last few forum topics on the front page, who are right underneath that, also on the right side.
You can try emptying your browser's cache and/or cookies for the Nintendo Life site, but that doesn't always work, and usually, the picture eventually gets updated automatically at some point. But either way, the picture you've selected and which is visible on your profile page, will eventually be the only picture that you'll see on any and all posts, whether that's underneath an article or in a forum topic.
On a side note: I haven't seen any fireworks on your avatar pic. Not here, and not on your profile. All I see is the "Qube 2" picture.

We have a masala chai mix that clouds the water. I’m not sure if that’s how it’s meant to be, but this one does.
It’s very strong (it has a lot of ginger), so you kinda need to add milk to it, anyway.
I tried making a pitcher of it once (without milk, of course), even after adding a lot of plain water it was still strong, and it didn’t look too nice.
Talking about cloudy tea, my brothers house is in an area where tap water is definitely not drinking quality, it Is hard water. My mom once made the mistake of making tea with it, and the result was a tea with a fine layer of disgusting.
If you click on the Nintendolife home page button then scroll down to the forum topics on the right side @ThanosReXXX you'll see that my profile pic is still fireworks. Now your correct that all my article and forum web page posts are the new qube 2 pic.
