This is where I'll talk about things that don't have to do with the game itself. Later, that is.

So, I brought this up in a PM chain so I figured I might as well say it here too. I have a dog, 14 years old, that I love very much. And unfortunately, at her last vet check we found out she has cancer. An 'aggressive' kind too; they forecast that she has just a handful of months left. Needless to say, I'm upset and will be devastated when it happens. I haven't lost a pet before, and I've had her half my life... if I'm still in this game when she dies, I should still be able to play but I'll probably be less active for a while. Just a heads up for you specs and goderators out there.

Been watching the Euros and enjoying them, most of the group stage was actually entertaining, even when a weak team played a strong one they didn't just park the bus and try for a 0-0. I feel bad for Wales, because those last couple goals were pretty embarrassing. But at least Denmark won; Eriksen used to play for my club and so him going down with a heart problem is even worse than if it was just any player.
England will lose to Germany, but there's no shame in that; they're considered underperformers but really, they're doing about as well as they should long-term considering their size - Germany has significantly more people than England, and a similar amount of money. England does have good players, but Germany just has better ones.
France have hilarious amounts of talent and are the team I think will win, especially since France!Pogba is 100 times better than United!Pogba. That club sucks the life out of you, I swear. Belgium's midfield is excellent, but Eden Hazard doesn't run at people anymore it seems and their defenders have no pace. Them vs Mbappé would be funny and sad at the same time.
Sad to see the Netherlands out, they're the better team overall but just didn't perform against the Czechs. Schick is having a great tournament, but buying a player because they were great for 5 games is... questionable decision making that happens all the time because football execs are dumb.
Italy is the other team that could win, they not only have individual quality but they play great as a unit. Excellent players everywhere on the pitch, and a striker who a) gets chances made for him a lot and b) converts chances well. France vs Italy semifinal very possible and very exciting!

So much for France winning, 3-1 up with 10 minutes to go and Switzerland makes a crazy comeback. Italy big favorites now! Great games today, both of them. I feel for Mbappé, missing the final penalty, but Sommer is a really good keeper.

Loki and I were talking about Terraria to each other and we decided that after the game is over we should do some multiplayer together. So far it seems Jael might be interested too; and if any of you spectators or mods are interested then feel free to join, the more the merrier! Been many years since I did any multiplayer in that game.

My brother in law just set his back porch on fire while trying to grill some burgers... he didn't bother to clean the damn grill first, nor did he hose down any of the very dry fire hazards nearby. Like WTF man. My sister (his wife) was not amused, and neither were the other 4th of July guests. He literally volunteers as a firefighter, he has to know better than this! Ugh.

In an unrelated incident, my brother-in-law just got two stitches and a damaged tooth; he was at a bus stop at night, and turned his head right into a glass corner of a building - no metal or plastic edges, so nearly invisible. So he comes back to his car with my sister and niece with a ton of blood on him... scary to say the least, but thankfully not as bad as it looked. So now we're not mad at him, we feel bad for him.

Ahh Kronos just brought up flash games and now I'm missing Junkbot again. I loved that game, even if I could never figure out how to beat all the levels as a kid. Last I checked it was just gone; maybe somebody has remade it in HTML5 or something like it now. I might have to go look for it later.

Congrats to the Milwaukee Bucks, first championship for them in 50 years! I'm happy for them, now they don't have to worry about being labeled as underachievers or having a cloud looming over them. On the other hand, spare a thought for the likes of Chris Paul; he finally makes it to the NBA finals at 36 years old, only to fall just barely short. Good chance he won't make it back again at his age, at least not as a starter; at least Devin Booker is only 24 and should have many more chances in his career. Now, if only we could find success in the playoffs instead of just being spectators or first-round speed bumps, I would be very happy.
