He told me that during their match against England, Argentina made a lot of fouls that the referee conveniently ignored while giving England a hard time. And that it turns out the ref was a friend of Lionel Messi, who Messi said was their lucky ref.

That was already debunked. The referee, Ismail Elfath, is not a friend of Messi, though X and instagram fans speculation linked them due to a prior statistical record.
Online discussion dubbed him a "lucky charm" because Lionel Messi’s club side, Inter Miami, won the previous matches Elfath officiated, and Elfath served as the fourth official for the 2022 World Cup final but there is no evidence of a personal friendship or bias.

General Gaming Discussion / Re: Retro-Bit Licensed SEGA Gamepads

Hm, I guess so.

But still, not only is Retro-Bit's Sega Collab controllers are official licensed controllers by Sega, but it's thanks to Retro-Bit that Sega's fans are able to have iconic Sega controllers for PC gaming. Sega should at least give Retro-Bit more attention over it. Such as:

• Current Sega games that recognise and support PlaySega or Retro-Bit controllers. The very least ones styled after classic gameplay, or Sonic Rumble Party.
• Sega Shop actually selling their controllers (As well as the Sega Genesis Mini sold separately). While Retro-Bit has plenty or retailers and online shops, you'd think the Sega Shop be one of their primary market for Sega Collab controllers.

Thanks to Retro-Bit that Sega's fans are able to have iconic Sega controllers? But it's not only Retro-Bit that makes them.
There were Hyperkin, Retroflag, Gully Kid, MadCatz, and best of all in my opinion ... 8BitDo with their M30 controller series.
And also cheaper shipping price to my country.

I've taken a break from the game. Not really as fun when:* No one else is as aggressive as you, thus I end up winning more often than I think I should.* Don't really have friends to play it with.

Yeah,this is a kind of game where it's more fun to play with friends.

I see, so it's actually been around for a long while. And plays more like a Fantasy Football game.

So... why did Sega retire the Virtua Striker series? Not like football ever fallen out of interest. Especially during FIFA.

Just like Virtua Fighter, Virtua Striker franchise was built specifically for arcades (running on hardware like Model 2, Model 3, and NAOMI) rather than standard home console development.
That's why it was abandoned when arcade games started to decline. They make more money in arcade version, a lot compared to console versions.
For console games, now it's hard to make a football game to compete with EA because of exclusive their licensing deals, massive budgets, and brand power. EA has too much power in that area.

But it's also the other way around in football management game.
Football Manager franchise has decades of database advantage since Sports Interactive has spent over 30 years refining a vast network of real-life scouts globally, a scale no new entrant can easily replicate.
Their database remains unmatched and unchallenged in the industry.

He would mostly choose Tails. How many times have Shadow round-house kicked him in the head?

He just hates him because he's smarter than him.

That's why I had a charger!

Only rich kid have charger here back then.

They did. The BBC holds specific statutory powers to collect and enforce the television licence fee, but it does not have general police or state authority. So while BBC have enforcement officers to prosecute those who watch live TV illegally in UK, they are not police officers, so you may deny them entry to your home.

As for using the internet to watch whatever shows on YouTube, that's fine. And watching TV shows on "Free movie and TV" sites such as 7Reels or SeeFlix, those sites are legal grey-areas, especially given they're not "live" television.

I guess Youtube with its live streaming news channel really changes how television media worked. I watch them there now since unlike in television, they almost had no running ads there.

Will it though? I noticed every few years, there is some sort of new major international scare. Foot and Mouth Disease, Bird Flu, Millennium Bug, Mayan Apocalypse, COVID 19, the kind of crisis that make people question if things will ever be the same again. And once the worse of it happens... things just go back to normal.

Whose to say the AI Bubble isn't just more fearmongering?

Things always go back to normal because humankind (or at least some of them ... who controls the world) learned to adapt (or take advantage of it).
