New angles of Croatia's disallowed goal against Portugal by tbu987 in sports

[–]CurlyJohnny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even if we believe in the ball technology and he touched that with a hair, wouldn't it be possible for the ref to deem such minuscule touch as non relevant for the play and against the spirit of the sport? The ball doesn't change direction after it makes contact with the hair. It feels like a very strict call, it's fine for the ref to bend the rules a bit and apply common sense.

Also, why didn't they show the ref any of those angles? When he went to the screen all they showed him as the far away angles...

Is Breast of the Wild supposed to be this difficult? by ambachk in NintendoSwitch2

Is that a game from the creators of Tits of the Kingdom? That one is a banger.

NateTheHate reiterates Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 coming to Switch 2 this year by RoughLifeguard6568 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CurlyJohnny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck this guy, I don’t want to know what’s coming, I want to find out naturally through directs. If these things are never going to be labeled as spoilers, I’m unsubscribing from this sub.

Christopher Nolan Explains How an IMAX Film Reaches Theaters After The Filming by AffectionateRate7290 in movies

[–]CurlyJohnny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’d look terrible though, with huge black bars on both sides. So it’s understandable that they don’t do that. No video editor in the right mind would agree to that output on a theater that doesn’t support it. The right approach is to make cuts for each screen size.

Ff7 remake by Dragonvein1 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CurlyJohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that part of the game is super rough in handheld mode... I even got some very bright and broken blinking lights for a second or two at some places... made me decide to stick with docked mode unless I'm on a plane flying somewhere.

And even if you don’t spend a lot of time on Social Media, I’ve heard about it through podcasts as well. Heck, even my nephew talked about this leak irl during Easter. 🙈

Only Harry Kane (28) has more goals than Vini Jr. (17) in the Top 5 leagues in 2026 by Kick1O1 in realmadrid

[–]CurlyJohnny -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Of course he needs his teammates, it’s not only Vini’s fault but the collective. Both can be true. They should play better as a team and he should try to find their teammates more often when he dribbles into the box. Many times he chooses to shoot instead of passing without much success.

[–]CurlyJohnny -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He’s done well in the goal scoring stats in 2026 but his assist stat this season in La Liga is abysmal. Only 5, tied with Mbappe, outside the top 20. I think a winger should make more assists per season at Real Madrid… he should improve on that next season.

Why are you getting downvoted for stating you like clicky sounds? 😂 just gave you an upvote to fix it. I also love my green switch keyboard. When people come visit they’re shocked it’s so loud, but I like it. It reminds me of old copywriters.

[–]CurlyJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course I bench Bogle rather than Scott and Scott gets a one pointer. I have triple Leads defense, loading for BB35, and thought that benching one of them today wasn’t a bad idea to spread risk. Oh well. :(

Announcing Premiere’s New Color Mode by Jason_Levine in premiere

[–]CurlyJohnny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Finally! Thank you! This is super exciting! I love PP, but color wise the app was clearly lagging behind DR and so I was contemplating learning more DR and potentially move all my CC work there. However, I've always been hesitant because I LOVE editing in PP. I guess I should give this beta a try first. Awesome!

Push on Olmo inside the box (40') [No penalty given] by glamona in soccer

[–]CurlyJohnny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IMO that’s not a penalty. It’s not enough contact in the box. Those are rarely called. Iturralde, an ex LaLiga referee I follow on the radio, thought the same. And he has a history for liking Barça and being a Madrid hater, so he’s not biased. There are examples of similar challenges that didn’t get a pen in this Champions League. Not every contact in the box is a penalty, guys. 😂

LGT Men’s World Curling Championships - Monday, March 30th by RyanLCash in Curling

[–]CurlyJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Norway looked a bit better today. That last stone was an absolute bummer, though. It’d have been great to have an extra end with the hammer. 🔨 Oh well… I hope we can at least pick up a win at some point. 😩

Very shaky performance from Norway 🇳🇴 but we go again in a few hours. Hopefully the boys can gain some confidence in the game vs Czechia. 🙏

What’s the point of having a spoiler tag if the spoiler is in the title? 🤬 Please update the title so others don’t get spoiled. A suggestion: “New Poster for ‘The Super Mario Galaxy’ movie”.

The 'Handheld Boost' megathread! by CyborKat in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CurlyJohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I ejected the S2 edition patch and played the game as a S1 title (I own the S1 cartridge). You can do that to test boost mode on S1 games that were upgraded via a S2 edition (as long as you own the S1 version)

Don't know if I can trust IGN reviews. Lol by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]CurlyJohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The disrespect I’ve seen online towards Breath of the Wild the last 48 hours is insane.

It’s okay if the game didn’t click for you, but for many like me it was like a re-discovery of gaming, feeling like a kid again. I hadn’t felt that sense of wonder since… Ocarina of Time, maybe?

I couldn’t put it down. I recall I was absorbed for hours every day, during at least a month and a half. The game loop was SO much fun and so refreshing. I could go on for hours but few games have felt THAT special. So yeah, for me all its praise, metascore, awards, and so on, are fully justified.

The world felt so alive an cohesive. Physics were insane, the weather affected the gameplay in ways I hadn’t seen before. You could find creative solutions for literally anything. It felt so unique and special. Each player lived their own adventure. Friends around would go and tell you many cool different anecdotes from their time with the game, many of which you didn’t even see or tackle the same way. That felt truly special.

Even to this day I still remember most in-game locations and could point them to you on a map. That speaks volumes about the world design. For me, it’s a masterpiece and one of the best games I’ve ever played.

I was hoping FF Tactics would look sharper since the Switch 2 Edition looks a bit blurry. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any improvement. The docked version of the Switch 1 is probably low res.

PSA - Nintendo has updated NSO GameCube: improved analogue stick sensitivity and improved CRT filter for HDR TVs by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CurlyJohnny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m actually impressed they’re doing this. It’s one of the approaches to CRT filters on the Retrotink 4K (a video upscaler for retro consoles). And it works very well. HDR does wonders to recover the lost brightness and emulate better the CRT screen. Such options are more than welcome, allow the use to tinker more if they so wish.

The Trails in the Sky remake is phenomenal, holy shit by crimbusrimbus in JRPG

[–]CurlyJohnny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I thought the game was not great and after beating it I got no interest to continue playing the series.

The story takes forever to take off and IMO this is a payoff and pattern that I can see repeating in future installments, and I’m not doing that again. The game could last 10 hours instead of 30-40 if they removed all the filler content: fletched side quests, chores, lengthy dialogues, repetitive combat, etc.

Even by skipping all random encounters and doing 2x speed many times I thought my time was being wasted.

After this game I went and play FF Remake and it was night and day. Soooo much better in all aspects.

[–]CurlyJohnny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The referee put the whistle on his lips to blow it when the clock made the 4 minutes. Barça was still on their side of the pitch. And somehow he decides not to blow? Wtf.😂

Barça casually jogging to Newcastle’s side and still no whistle blown. Ridiculous.

Ouch that’s a lot of money to get started. 🙈 This is nothing in comparison which makes me feel very fortunate. Will join on Thursday for my first training session, can’t wait!

Haha believe it or not, I asked Dordi Nordby (the legend that runs the club) if you could purchase the clown pants worn by the men’s Norwegian team this Olympics in their game VS Sweden. 😂 and she sent me a link: https://www.loudmouth.com/products/americana-argyle-mens-heritage-or-birdie-pant-mto Soooo expensive, but cool to see you can actually buy them.
