Infamous 1 and 2. Still, blowing spittle into a $50 controller is a novelty I'm not interested in.

Ah, I didn’t know any of that. Didn’t know a host country had that much say over the governing body of FIFA, least of all the execution of the World Cup. My apologies from America; I’d say we’ll do better next time, but given we’re at the center of World War III, “next time” might be a...

Got my first PS5 Platinum trophy in Astro's Playroom. That makes, let me see, (carry the 1... divide by pi... account for the Earth's rotation and wind shear....) THREE Platinum trophies I've amassed since 2009. Please, please, hold your applause; I am not just a humble gamer of exceedingly rare...

I don't understand how you feel that's uniquely American, though. You mentioned baseball; they've actually taken measures (like a pitch clock) to speed the game up so it's not so traditionally sluggish. Sports nowadays are fluid, and a lot of them are trying different things to improve the flow...

Ok, that's good to hear. The blowing into the controller is a bit too "innovation for innovation's sake" for me. Feels like Sony is about two generations away from Mr. Garrison's IT Bike.

Is this really a production choice driven by American design? That's a genuine question; how has it been different historically? How/why have those who run the game been influenced by America? I plan on watching a match or two, so I'm curious what the differences would be less American influence.

Even if that sentiment were the case, it'd be exacerbated by the fact the current president is a complete and utterly infantile, senile, megalomaniacal narcissist whose judgement is questionable on the best of days, and absolutely bat-shit crazy the other 363 days of the year. How is it the...

Because the use case for this report is literally so basic, the ability afforded by an XLOOKUP isn't required and would probably add an unnecessary layer of complexity. In our session tomorrow, I’m going to drive, at least to start, and try to introduce him to how much harder he’s been making...

I won't be so pretentious as to say I've any particular interest in the WC, but one thing I DO like about it here in America this year is watching so many people, if even only for a month, actually celebrating other countries and welcoming them into their cities. Like this video, a black police...

So I found all of the puzzle pieces and artifacts in Astro's Playroom, and I think I'm familiar enough with the PS5 controller to branch into something more grownup. It's a nice little game, though. I have no nostalgia for PlayStation seeing as I only ever owned/played on the PS3, but I imagine...

I'd like to see both: country unrepresented AND they never play at home, but that's leaning into a level of pettiness that begins punishing the athletes, and they're not to blame for any of this country's geopolitical nonsense. Besides, Trump would probably just throw a billion dollars at his...

I honestly think it'd be fair if the US wasn't allowed to be represented in the World Cup, just like Russian and Belarusian athletes aren't allowed to represent their countries in the Olympics because of the behavior of their political leaders. Let the US athletes play, but under a generic...

In my opinion, most Americans likely don't really care about the World Cup; it's more about the rarity, the pageantry, it being THE event every 4 years, and the opportunity to be a part of a literal global celebration. The World Cup is a massive party with some of the world's biggest...

I'm cross training a co-worker on a report I generate. It's very tedious work, and I asked him about his proficiency in MS Excel, and he assured me he was "highly" proficient. Well, our 1/2 hour training session turned into an hour and a half because apparently to him "proficient" means "I've...

Not sure which version is the "first" version of the song, but from the comments on the second one listed: First "You" : Beginning of a relationship 2nd " You" : The end of a relationship, looking back ,reminiscing... I agree. I was sent this song (1st version) by an ex-girlfriend a long time...
