And so the World Cup final will be between two teams who couldn’t beat Cape Verde in 90 minutes.

[Jordan Patu @Jordan_Patu]

Cabo Verde holding the eventual finalists to a stalemate and going life and death with 1 half of the other semi final is an achievement that gets better by the day.

Pra frança se equiparar ao Brasil, vocês teriam que ganhar no mínimo mais três copas do mundo. Já pro Brasil se equiparar a frança, a gente teria que invadir e massacrar no mínimo 20 países do continente africano

realmente, não somos iguais

remember when not only you would get a disc but you’d also get a case with meaningful cover art along with a manual that taught you how to play (and often included fun additional lore tidbits) and hell sometimes they’d even throw in a poster for free just for fun

And THAT ladies and gentleman is why PHYSICAL MEDIA IS IMPORTANT. Cause you may never know when the things you love will be taken off streaming one day.

Class dismissed.

[Trevor Noah @Trevornoah]

I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.

Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.

We are officially in World Cup month. Please leave your xG charts, pressing percentages, and defensive metrics in the club season. International tournament football is strictly decided by pure vibes, individual brilliance, tactical survival, and a random goalkeeper turning into prime Lev Yashin for two weeks. Enjoy the entertainment and put the spreadsheets away.

[Kachii @badasskachii]

Every World Cup has that one completely random striker who turns into prime Ronaldo Nazário for exactly two weeks, has a great tournament, signs a £60M contract with a top club, and then disappears from football forever.
I wonder who it's going to be this month

[Tommy Stella @tommy_stella]

I know we all treat him like a creative god on here because he made the cool space franchise, but it is genuinely so cool and inspiring that in his retirement he made a museum love letter to storytelling. Like thank you, George. That's genuinely so important right now.

Happy 10 years to the greatest video game score of all time, even listening to it now it takes me back years...

Genuinely did not expect a cape to add that much aura to Link

[Meech @MediumSizeMeech]

The concept of teenagers, who are also mutants, who just happen to be ninjas, while ALSO being turtles is not something the 2020s could ever come up with. That’s a big 80s cocaine brain idea

I totally dominated you at the museum dude. Pondered every piece for a couple seconds longer. Scratched my chin with more curiosity.

Children being exposed to disturbing movies they are entirely too young for and have no business watching is an important rite of passage, a time-honored tradition

Andy Weir announced a new novel with "no details yet"

Brother we already know: regular guy gets stuck somewhere impossible, MacGyvers his way out with real science, makes us laugh while we ugly cry, and we all finish it at 3am on a Tuesday.

Take my money.
