@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...
@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.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
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.
@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.
@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.

@Eel A game music tournament thread? Well, not really my thing, to be honest, but thanks for the suggestion anyway. I can definitely think of a couple of other people in here who would like to join, though. Or maybe just one...
@TheJGG Oh, no offense, but you don't have to tell me "how the ball rolls" for that matter. Football is my #1 sport besides martial arts, so I'm a staunch follower of both the national competition and international games, and not just EC's and WC's...
As for the WAY too easily granted penalty: in the future, I would vote for in-game penalties having to adhere to the EXACT same rules as after-game penalties: you get one shot, so if you miss, that's that. No rebounds, no second chances. Kane himself even admitted that it most definitely wasn't one of the best penalties he ever made.
And as mentioned to bimmy, I get the whole history thing and the perhaps greater importance of it for Britain as opposed to other countries, but my main thing (and what I expect) is fair play, REAL matches, FULL effort and entertainment value, and after the 1/8 finals, matches got progressively worse and worse, until we got to the "stale-matey" matches of the semi-final, with excruciatingly bad football, and only decisions by penalty or next to last minute decisions. Or "handed on a silver platter" ones, as was the case with the Brits.
I have family in Denmark as well, so part of my heart weeps, especially after what happened to Denmark in the first match, and how wonderfully they came back in the subsequent matches, which showed their viking strength and resolve. Sentiments aside, if we're only looking at what teams actually and truly deserved this, then the final match should have been between Spain and Denmark.
And Denmark's goal vs England was a deserved one as well, and a thing of pure beauty...
@SM3DASislit It makes sense, the two biggest gaming series of the 90's in one game is still a cool perk, even if it's just a series of Olympic games.
Definitely, I still remember getting at least one round in for the beta they had. I understood people were mad about the game servers crashing, but that is one of the reasons why testing is needed I feel. Come release day, the game had no problems with servers (at least with me), if servers didn't have a stress test, the launch could have been really bad. It's important to remember betas aren't for sampling the game like a demo, but to make sure things work properly before launch.
My friend just got a Switch, and I got him into Ninjala too. Basically told him, join the Ninjala club we have gum. XD Last night even had a three player private battle between me and my friends.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@WoomyNNYes I get issues too, the videos don’t even play. Just a black screen for a thumbnail. Happens on my iPhone and on my Vivaldi web browser on PC. Sometimes, videos work. Most of the time, black screen. Not sure why!
