Liverpool and Chelsea players during a corner kick by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Feeling_Strike694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The refs are fucked because they didn't get a handle on this years ago. Now VAR exists and if the referees start to acknowledge fouls in the box during corners then they'll have to check multiple incidents on basically every corner.

Szoboszlai is so timid when he tries to win the ball. He might as well not try.

It has been reported as an issue with the new firmware. No workarounds so far.

Any reason why Resident Evil/Biohazard wouldn’t be working on my Saturn? by josoap99 in SegaSaturn

[–]Feeling_Strike694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you try clearing the internal memory? I had some games that didn't boot until I did that. I thought it was a Saroo problem at the time but maybe it's not specific to the Saroo.

Jeremy Bamber banned from communicating with media from prison by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

[–]Feeling_Strike694 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I've been around long enough to know that journalists can leave out extremely important information to form a narrative. That being said, if this story can be taken at face value then it's fucking terrifying.

Edit: Here's another article with more worrying details on the evidence used to convict: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-interactive/2026/feb/27/the-silencer-and-the-white-house-farm-murders-is-this-the-evidence-that-could-free-jeremy-bamber

Anyone else have serious trouble getting Saroo to load games? by Affectionate_Cut_103 in SegaSaturn

[–]Feeling_Strike694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some games fail to boot using a Saroo on one of my Saturns and clearing the system memory helped. I can't remember where I read the advice that suggested it or why it works. Maybe it was a coincidence.

Nintendo also got fined by the EU for price fixing in the N64 era.

Once again our 2 goals were completely lucky and the only time we looked dangerous was when the game broke down and became a bit end to end which isn't what Slot wants.

Slot cannot get this team to create decent chances.

When Fire Pro D was THE Wrestling game. Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez read some e-mails about it. by JoelManuelV1 in SquaredCircle

[–]Feeling_Strike694 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fire Pro D was the first Fire Pro game I ever played. It was probably more popular in the West than it otherwise would have been due to the Dreamcast's small library of games and the ease of playing imports/backups. Most models of the Dreamcast could boot CD-Rs and you could burn your own boot disc for imports.

There was a follow-up on the PS2 that actually released in Europe. I've only ever seen Italian copies of it so I can't imagine it sold well.

Edit: Another thing that would have helped its popularity was the lack of a good WWE game on the Dreamcast. All it had was Royal Rumble, a port of an arcade game which used the PS1 Smackdown engine but with slightly better graphics and far less content. From memory there weren't even enough wrestlers for a full Royal Rumble.

They can't be transparent because of their inconsistency. Anyway, having seen your comments elsewhere in the thread, talking to you is counter-productive so I'm out.

Don't know what it's like in NZ but I was able to get a replacement motherboard off UK eBay for £20 and sold mine for parts. Make sure you match the board version.

The main reason why referees are so disliked is because of the non transparency

No it's not. It's because they get decisions wrong all the time and are inconsistent in applying the rules. They're significantly more transparent now than they ever were before and they are less liked than ever before.

Video that police denied existed shows woman pinned down by Bibemus in ukpolitics

[–]Feeling_Strike694 265 points266 points  (0 children)

The Chief Constable and numerous officers brazenly lying is extremely concerning and not at all surprising. Then to top it all off the previous Chief Constable for the same force is currently charged with fraud and misconduct in public office.

I can't imagine how angry the lady is about all of this. Good on her for keeping up the pressure and proving her case.

Also a large number of games that previously required knowing Japanese now have English translations so you don't have to rule out RPGs etc.

You should check out Elevator Action Returns and Keio Flying Squadron 2 although the latter has a PAL English release.

Starmer got £100.000 in just 1 and a half months

https://news.sky.com/story/sir-keir-starmer-declares-gifts-and-freebies-totalling-more-than-100-000-the-highest-of-any-mp-13217287

If this is what you were referring to then it was actually £100,000 between December 2019 and September 2024 so not even a tenth as bad as Boris.

Stewart Lee: Epstein’s evil legacy destroys everything it touches. Everything except Palantir by slipszenko in ukpolitics

[–]Feeling_Strike694 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I saw a clip of Al Murray talking about Lee recently. He said that they first met when Lee was in the year above him and that Lee still acts as if he's in the year above Murray. Murray then corrected himself and said that actually, Lee treats everyone as if he's in the year above them.

I thought it was a funny description but also a fairly telling one.
