@Ossoi I am well aware of the idea behind the extra time, but as far as I can remember, the norm was like around 3 minutes and it took very special circumstances, like injuries or technical difficulties to see it balloon to 5 or 6 minutes. 8 minutes for a half like we saw in the Germany vs Japan...

It's been a while since I watched some good old fashioned association football. Checking some highlights of that Saudi Arabia win and today watching the Germany vs Japan match... I have a question. What's up with the ungodly amount of additional time ? It was like 12 minutes in Argentina vs...

My understanding was that you cannot toggle it off, but you can have them wait longer before talking, but again, my source is the most dubious one : Twitch chat :eek:

It can actually be adjusted. Not exactly sure how as I don't own the game, but the issue came up in a stream I saw.

I am continuing my deep dive in all the anime feature films I missed in the last decade (or more) and would like to point out 3 very good ones that I did not even know existed : The Empire of Corpses, Harmony and Genocidal Organ. These three films (two from 2015 and one from 2017) are...

I am just using a program called LiveSplit. You can edit the layout, set hotkeys, it also archives the best time for all the segments, the number of attempts, the best time overall and the split times for your best attempt. It also connects to speedrun.com so if you run a game and category that...

Not quite there yet, but getting there! I think I only had one costly death on the stage 3 boss on Loop 2 and got stuck 15 min at the end because if you don't kill the two demon kings with the special weapon on your first try you're in a world of hurt :D

I think the TMNT stuff is only hard for children. I played this somewhat recently (like a couple years ago) and the bomb defusing sequence at the dam is really not that hard once you figure out what path to take and juggle between characters to manage health. The ending of the game on the other...

It's a german film so them speaking english would have been surprising ! :D

I found this bland. Just a few punctual ideas here and there woke me up. By the same Russo brothers and in the same vein, I much preferred Extraction which is already not that great !

Oh ? So you are saying the author of that autopsy report testified in court that the action of the police was the cause of the death. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure we had our facts straight :emoji_thumbsup:

Didn't the author of that autopsy report testified in court that the action of the police was the cause of the death ? Facts are great for sure, but being able to understand them is also important.

Wait wait wait I though the greatest lie ever sold was the Moon landing? Or was it JFK's assassination? Biden's election? The holocaust? Obama's birth certificate? It's getting confusing :lumie:

Sorta dabbling in some Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts speedrunning. The idea for now is to beat it once a day and do some save state practice and see if I can get it to something like sub 50 min. Sub 40 is serious business and top times around sub 33 require a level of skill, practice and dedication I...

I don't know the fine details of US divorce law, but I would be surprised if the abusive husband of a bread earning millionaire gets a substantial alimony, if any at all. Also, such husband might get sued for the abuse on top of being kicked out of the marriage with zilch. In the particular...

A weird one: I saw The Timekeepers of Eternity. I guess it's technically an animated film as it's the two part TV movie The Langoliers with each image printed in black and white on paper and then re-edited down to one hour from the original three with a number of thorn or crumpled paper...

Macaw streams are always great to discover obscure games, but I must say he enjoys a little too much games that are awful.

No chinese living in and/or having family in China who has any kind of fame is in the business of voicing even a hint of a dissenting opinion when it comes to politics. If you do, you "magically" disappear for months. Non chinese journalists asking chinese artists political questions either...

My GOTY for whatever year it came out. PS: Finished Brain Lord and boy oh boy did they cram all the annoying ideas they could think of in the last quarter of the game. Without save states I probably would have stopped playing. Not really a difficulty thing resulting in possible deaths, just...

Brain Lord, for no particular reason. Actually I was testing a new SNES emulator (as I only had a very old one installed) and that's the first game that I picked in my list of, well, everything (it starts with B you see). Weird game. Not great, not terrible.

If you look at it from the other way around, currently you can direct donate (through a third party) and that nets you exactly nothing more than whatever alert the streamer has set up. Something, even temporary, is more than nothing. Not sure why Twitch would incentivize this type of donation...

The youTube conundrum is that it's ok if you are popular and move there with a deal, but it's not great to start there, because there is no real ecosystem and no tool to have such ecosystems appear.

Talking about lamentable level of ignorance : more than a third of EU countries have limited forms of jus soli.

Don't be shy, go for all three Civil War Amendments ! :rolleyes:

I am not sure the US is in the business of deporting american citizen.

You could try donating some of it to the Prevent Cancer foundation or to Doctors Without Borders and see how it feels. I hear some nerds are running a charity event for those in the near future.

Don't say things like this, you will make jayrebb sad.

Always funny to have the people of the MMORPG board call other people nerds.

I am pretty sure you have it completely backward along with a copious amount of tin foil on top your head. What is most likely happening is that the bean counters ask for market data and see gigantic gaping holes in the demographics. This is without a doubt a correct assessment of the situation...

Do you mean she has clips featuring you buried in the pile of 700 and she does not want to sort through them, or does she have 700 clips featuring you and you do not want to find the "OnlyFan worthy" ones ? If it's the latter, it sounds you want to get paid without doing the work!

I did not mean to imply that he picked the single existing image of a four legged dragon, just that he picked this one to assert some sort of canonical truth in their representation that simply does not exist. Four legged just came to be one of the two major ways dragons are represented in...

Xi Jinping is not enjoying this !

He also cherry picked the one that backed his claim, avoiding older european representations of dragons, like the wingless nordic ones, the snake-like greek ones or the two legs and two wings italian ones... I too can go check the wikipedia article for Dragon.

The name that was floated around at some point was Adrian Lester (star of the pretty cool BBC Show Hustle a few years back). The guy is a very accomplished actor (winning several awards for his work in films and on stage) and also a black belt in Taekwondo ! The problem is that he is older than...

@Chukzombi Hideaway it was ! Thanks for your help !

That sounds like a good guess. Looking at Koontz filmography, it seems it fits very well with Hideaway.

Maybe one for @Chukzombi . We are looking for a movie that a friend of mine saw. It did not ring a bell and my Google-Fu was found lacking. What we have to work with : - Probably a '90s film (or at the very least, probably seen in the mid '90s). - The plot is based on two people having some...

Saw Tigers Are Not Afraid in 2018 in a Film Festival. A strange film ... children trying to survive in a not so distant future when gangs are the only form of society left. Bleak setting, but with some oniric elements inserted.

There certainly is more horror, sci-fi and strange shit in Nope while what Maverick has going for it is nostalgia and planes. If you don't care about planes, there is not much of a movie left.

Jaws, if the main protagonists wanted to take a picture of it to get an award from National Geographic.... The fact it's impossible to empathize with the main characters really hurt the movie for me. It's also a bit slow and repetitive, which does not help. There are a lot of original visual...
