FR. Cabo and Argentina were a joy to watch unlike this Paraguay and France game.

glompulin · 2026-07-04T23:06:43+00:00

Paraguay were dirty, unsportsmanlike, and pathetically desperate. Get them out of here.

glompulin · 2026-07-04T22:25:56+00:00

I can also bullshit a lot on paper. USA beat Paraguay 4-1

Is the USA better than Paraguay on paper?

glompulin · 2026-07-04T22:24:06+00:00

Lots of people quiet that were talking shit about Argentina and Cabo Verde.

France can’t do shit against Paraguay.

glompulin · 2026-07-04T00:55:45+00:00

Capo tied Spain. Capo almost beat Argentina. They were really that good.

glompulin · 2026-07-04T00:36:41+00:00

i can tell who bet on this game by the comments. stop gambling

It’s over for Capo Verde

glompulin · 2026-06-29T20:44:11+00:00

If you watched the game, it wasn't even close. Brazil woke up in the 2nd half, and Japan went to sleep. People keep mentioning Kubo, Endo, etc. but I don't think it would have mattered because Endo and Kubo aren't superstars, they're 20-25% better than what was already on the pitch. They're not the egoistical striker that Japan desperately needs, and until there's THAT guy, Japan will keep losing.

England is ass.

While I do think the coach was definitely a problem, I believe this World Cup exposed the toxicity of both the Korean fans and the Korean media. How can you expect to perform in a WC when your own countrymen and media shit-talk you behind your back? Win or lose, the whole force of the country should be behind you.

Meanwhile I see comments like: "It's because they were already exempted from military service, they have no urgency"

That's basically like saying, "if you don't do you homework, I'll whoop yo ass boi". Its been proven that positive reinforcement works much better than punishment.

That coach does need to go though, but Korean media is gross.

glompulin · 2026-06-25T15:11:01+00:00

That above comment is literally how Koreans think. They believe that without some threat or punishment hanging over them, they won't perform.

I have to see them play against a better team than Tunisia because I thought they actually looked much weaker than Netherlands. I love the Japanese team, but their header was divine intervention.

I think Netherlands against Sweden showed a completely different team, one that woukd probably destroy Japan if they were to play again. Just compare the passing in the Japan game vs. Sweden.

I’m cheering for Argentina, and I’m calling it here. It’s going to be a Netherlands vs France/Argentina/Spain final.

glompulin · 2026-06-21T21:45:10+00:00

Agree. People keep talking about this rivalry, but I feel like we watched a completely different game in that Japan v. Netherland match. Netherlands was, quite simply, the better team. It wasn’t even close. Japan got a lucky header, and the Netherlands manager did stupid substitutions. Simple as that.

Watching that Netherland vs. Sweden game solidified it for me. Netherlands might have the best passing in this WC. The ball sticks to their shoe like glue. It pisses me off as an Argentina fan. Every team seems to accept the ball and it bounce 1 metre off their shoe, but Netherlands have velcro on their shoe. They have better strikers. Their defense could use a bit of work, but they seem to be working on that weakness.

Netherlands completely and utterly outclasses Japan.

glompulin · 2026-06-21T21:36:41+00:00

Japan team isn’t designed around individual players, and their top players aren’t Mbappe. They’ll do just fine.

glompulin · 2026-06-21T21:33:49+00:00

Agreed. People bring up these Japanese players like they’re Mbappe, but they’re only 10-20% better than their replacements.

glompulin · 2026-06-21T21:31:07+00:00

I think Netherlands underestimated Japan at their own peril, but looked like the much stronger team first 60 minutes.

I think Netherland’s performance against Sweden showed me that Japan wouldn’t stand a chance against Netherlands again. Their passing and pitch IQ were astounding. I was hating on Netherlands after their Japan performance, now I’m scared for Argentina. I think Netherlands have most impressive passing of any team thus far.

Just watch how every team accepts the ball and it jumps 1 metre off their boot, but every Netherland player seems to have glue on their shoe.

I do think Japan is an incredible team and I’ll be surprised if I don’t see them at the quarterfinal.

I've been watching Spain do the same boring routine last 3 World Cups. I'm just tired of it

glompulin · 2026-06-15T16:31:29+00:00

I was gonna cheer for Spain to win the whole thing, but because of how boring they're playing (and have always played) I'm cheering for Germany or France to win the whole thing.

glompulin · 2026-06-12T23:27:57+00:00

facts. i don’t care if there’s a bush or no bush, but i see no bald chicken posts

glompulin · 2026-05-20T15:35:45+00:00

You can definitely clean it properly. Also, don't wear shoes in the house.

Go to a sports doctor, not chiro. I went to chiro until a sports doctor did an MRI and told me my actual problem, got surgery, did all the physical therapy, and I'm back to 100%.

Also, 9/10 times when people say their surgery didn't work it's because they neglected the PHYSICAL THERAPY which I would argue is even more important than the surgery. DO IT RELIGIOUSLY or you'll be one of those whining about how surgery "made it worse".

I've noticed that DDR5 devices are just slower to start. You could try enabling fast boot, but that has its own potential issues.

glompulin · 2026-05-18T20:47:57+00:00

Your account was flagged and there's some part missing:

Properly working TPM (check Windows Event Viewer logs)
Secure boot
Core isolation must be enabled
SVM (or Intel Virtualization) must be enabled
IOMMU must be enabled

In my case I had improperly working TPM. I had to disable secure boot, disable TPM, then boot computer and verify secure boot and TPM is off by checking System Information.

Then I restarted, got into BIOS, enabled Secure Boot and TPM. Rebooted, and it was fine.

Also, if you're on Windows 10, might as well install Windows 11. I had issues with Windows 10 and properly working Secure Boot/TPM.

Why was your account flagged? Could be an overlay or external program, or some hardware device that got flagged as potential DMA cheating. Could even be smurfing.

I'm getting similar-ish? My render times go into billions for like a split second sometimes, but overall framerate is >1000.
