@bimmy-lee
do you like watermelon with salt?

id rather run over a pineapple pizza with a train, i thought i eradicated this gossip on pineapple pizza already.
your attempt to resurrect such a grotesque edible is grotesquely inedible! ​
everyone loves pizza rolls.

fight mii.

something got jumbled up here, and said i posted something twice when i didnt so yer comment is not in order...not sure what happened

@ogo79
Pineapple on pizza actually tastes yummy.
A fusion of sweet, sour and savory flavors.
There is a Chinese cuisine Sweet and sour chicken with pineapple added.

of course thats good!
sweet and sour chicken with pineapple is one of my favorite dishes, and i may be eating that tonight again with fried rice and eggs rolls.
there was/is a thing called "sweet and sour delight" that consists of sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour shrimp and sweet and sour pork, all mixed in, topped with sweet and sour sauce with pineapple and cherries on top.
best ever.

@ogo79 One. those skello muffins looks amazing, two. I could not agree with you more, that is such a cursed topping.

@ogo79 The only things left are:

• Painting the stand.
• Gluing the skeleton to it.
• Placing 3 layers of varnish on it.
• Baking it one last time to seal the varnish.

@Zuljaras incredible work. The detail is amazing. Love that shield.

@Heavyarms55 You're very welcome.

@bimmy-lee Well, credit where credit's due. I wouldn't be able to make or paint such a table, even if I tried, so yeah...

But, erm... exploding ms. Pac-Man? Was that ever a thing in the game, or are you that sadistic?

As for the English soccer team: don't get me wrong, I know and understand all about their sentiment and what it would mean to them to win this tournament. One fun fact is that this year is the first time in 55 (FIFTY-FIVE!!!) years that they were able to beat the Germans in such an international event, so it IS a big deal for them, but besides the origins of the game being British, which is what adds to the whole reason for the "football coming home" sentiment, the same obviously goes for every other country that competes.

They ALL wish to win the tournament, obviously. After all: who wouldn't want to be crowned European Champion for the next 4 years? So, in that regard, I understand all of them, and if they deserve it, even if it's not my favorite or preferred team, then I'm okay with it, regardless, because if anything, I'm a fair player, and if you're actually better than me, well... then the better team won, simple as that.

But honestly, tell me: how would you feel if your preferred team lost because of an own goal and a VERY cheaply granted penalty kick? No real sports fan would be okay with that, because that's not a decent representation of the actual match, which was actually pretty tough for the English, and it was most definitely not their best performance, and that's putting it mildly...

@Tyranexx Ha! I know all about that third wind, so I completely recognize that, subsequently lying in bed counting dots on the ceiling, hoping I'll FINALLY fall asleep at some point.

On a side note: when you mentioned being a total zombie, the first thing that actually came to mind is that you could then have gone straight to your hobby job of scaring the crap out of people. All you needed was a little touch up in the zombie make up department...

Errr... I... I have no idea about any of that. Nothing to see here, move along, folks! And get that pitchfork out of my sight, will ya?

As for pineapple on pizza: it's not like I eat it a lot, I don't even eat pizza a lot in general, but I do like the variation at times, and I can also understand it's not to everyone's liking, but I'm not ashamed to admit that I kinda like it. A lot, actually. But mind you: not pizza Hawaii with ham, but with salami/bologna, because ham is too basic/neutral of a taste, whereas the sweet and spicy combo of pineapple with Italian sausage is simply great, in my opinion.

Fruits always go well with spicy or hearty things, by the way, much like Anti already illustrated. At least the Asians know how to appreciate that. The sweetness of the fruit also mitigates/partially neutralizes the sting of the spiciness, so it's both a taste thing and a means of making the food more acceptable to the human palate, in case you're not the biggest fan of purely spicy food.

P.S.

Salt on melon? And you damn me for putting pineapple on pizza? Tssk, tssk...

@TheJGG Well, I'm hoping it's actually going to BE a good match, because no offense, but safe for one match, the Brits have been total and utter dross so far, and if you had asked me before the tournament started, I would never have guessed that they would end up in the finals. But it is what it is, so I'm hoping both teams will do their utmost to make it entertaining enough for the neutral viewers as well.

As for the Dutch: I was more livid with the team itself, because like the English, they too played like crap, so they were quite rightfully booted out of the tournament. As I already mentioned to bimmy in the first part of this wall, I always keep a fair and honest view of proceedings, so if teams deserve to lose, then I'm more than capable of accepting that.

I’m going to split this response into 2 posts, again.

I’m REALLY sorry about the delayed responses guys. Especially those of you who have been waiting for a while now. In case you’re wondering, I’m fine; I’ve just been busy recently.

I hope everyone is doing well.

@Snatcher
I’ve not worried about changing my profile pic. I’m just concerned that if I announce that if I announced that I changed my profile pic for a game that very few people would be interested in, that I might some interesting responses, if you get what I mean.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot that Risk of Rain even existed, TBH. From what I remember, I believe the user that was asking Nintendo Life to write the Risk of Rain articles was being really aggressive/demanding about it, so I’ve always thought that Nintendo Life purposely didn’t write those articles because of how demanding that user was being with it, but that’s probably not the reason at all, just my guess. I’m not even sure if that user is even on here anymore.

@ThanosReXXX
Yes, I did mean amusing. Usually I do a good job of catching errors like that, but I typed it on my phone, so I'm more likely to not catch the errors on my phone, since it’s harder to see a long message on a phone than a PC.

To answer your previous post to me regarding asking Eel about the site rules: I feel like Eel is pretty busy as is, so I try not to summon him unless it’s something really important.

@MarioLover92
Yeah, I believe Disney used their “Vault” when they re-released their older movies. Now that Disney+ has been available for a while now, it seems like the “Vault” is starting to come to an end.

@Sunsy
Yeah, I tend to enjoy sports games that have more than one sport to them, like Mario & Sonic. I didn’t realize you liked Mario & Sonic so much. I also like Mario & Sonic a lot as well. As odd as it may sound, Mario & Sonic is actually a “dream franchise” of mine, if that makes sense.

I’m glad that you’re still enjoying Ninjala a year later. We seem to be the early adaptors of Ninjala here on Nintendo Life, but there seems to be more people slowly getting into Ninjala on here. I’m probably going to get the Ninjala Pass Mini as well, but we’ll see.

@SM3DASislit Yeah, phone/touch screen typing...
I know all about that, so don't get me started on that. Got kind of a love/hate relationship with that myself.

As for not wanting to "summon" @Eel: He usually hangs around here anyways, so I don't think that it would be too much of a hassle at all, and besides: he's a pretty relaxed person, so he probably isn't going to bite your head off if you want to ask him a simple question...

If I think the questions get annoying, I'll absolutely say so. Don't worry.

(What was the question?)

@Eel A question about site rules. I'll have to tag @SM3DAislit to help me remember which rule it actually concerned again.

@Eel Never mind, I already found it in his profile page:

Speaking of rules and whatnot, do you know if we're allowed to say that we made a thread on [insert topic here]. I don't believe it's against the site rules, but I just wanted to double-check. 🤔

And:

I actually was just thinking of saying that I made a topic on [insert topic here] but a link works even better though. That's why I wanted to ask, as I know that it might be considered advertising or begging, so that's why I wanted to check. Thanks for trying to answer my question, I really appreciate it.

Okay, I'll see what he has to say about it. I just figured I would you since you seem to be more knowledgeable with the rules, since you've been on here for a while.

If, for context, you want to read the entire comments/posts, it's #8 and #14 on this page, and specifically the parts directed at me.

Huh, didn’t we talk about that one already?

Anybody else have trouble watching game trailer videos on nintendo's website? There's heavy artifacting, or a mess of a picture. Using: firefox, PC. It isn't a new issue.

Here's a screenshot of video playing.

@Eel Possibly, I don't know. As you might guess from the second quote, I already advised him to ask you, and seeing as it is quite a while back already, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell.

But as you can also see, he mentioned it again to me, in his comment #53,664, so beats me...

@ThanosReXXX Didn't look at it that way to be honest. The penalty for Denmark was dubious at best, but they made it count in the end and football isn't entirely about skill, but taking opportunities as they come. The way they put the ball in after it got deflected was quite nice. But on the other hand Denmark scored an outrageous goal so it's more or less even... if that own goal didn't happen.

Whether they performed well or not so far consistently throughout (and believe me, Ukraine was probably all you could ask for as an England fan) they've made it to the finals for the first time in half a century. You weren't alive when that last happened, and for that matter neither was I. Regardless of how it turns out this is gonna be a historic day.

Of course... I hope England win.

Well I remember saying that it was ok to share links to other threads every now and then, as long as it doesn’t become the only thing they do here.

For example: why don’t you guys check out the current video game music tournament? It could use some extra sets of voting ears.

@TheJGG You're not the only one. 🤞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@WoomyNNYes Well, that's... odd, to say the least. Can you put up the actual link to that video? I'll have a look-see if you do. I use Firefox as well, so should yield similar results, normally speaking, unless it's a "what version of Windows do you have?" kinda thing...

All kidding aside, could also be a combination of things, like used add-ons, version of Firefox (I'm using the ESR version, for example, v78.11.0) and so on, but let's start with sharing the link first, and then we'll go from there.
