While England showed spurts of quality during EURO... I think Spain was more consistently good. They deserved the win.
Hoping Colombia pulls off the upset in COPA tonight.
Whoa! TFC's first Manningless game is a win! *gasp!*
Bdot was away having a meeting of the coven. So, I had double dog duty. It was busy. If Edith wasn't in her kennel then it was constantly up and down and inside and outside. It was crazy hot out too. So I didn't get a lot done.
Not surprisingly, social media has become really ugly about the Tr*mp assassination attempt...
I was pretty excited about the Steam Summer Sale. I googled, and youtubed and reviewed steam lists for hours to find a few games to buy. All three were deeply discounted. ARMAIII, it rated really well and had both single and multiplayer gameplay. Assassin's Creed Valhalla, also reviewed well and I'm enjoyed the AC series. Styx - Master of Shadows, was really cheap and it sounded good. Assassin's Creed Valhalla loaded got to the menu screen and died when gameplay was initiating. Over and over. [REFUNDED] ARMAIII was a frustrating control nightmare. I would assign a key, it wouldn't do anything. It was WAYYYY more complicated than it needed to be. It was a good looking game but unplayable due to poor UI. [REFUNDED] And Styx was just dull and not what I was hoping for... [REFUNDED] Yup. ๐

Wow, it sounds like the COPA final was a mess. Delayed because hordes of fans showed up without tickets (game start delayed 82m!!) and just kept trying to force their way in? UGH. Argentina won. Ho-hum.
Yikes... now seeing photos of the carnage causes by 'so-called fans' of Colombia and Argentina... (people were trying to get in via air vents!) It looks like these thugs do millions in damage to the facilities hosting the game. This is what is coming to Canada for the World Cup. I sure hope organizers have taken notice so these 'fans' don't destroy our local stadiums. Such disrespect and selfishness. *Cough* This is what happens when passion turns into idiocy. CONMEBOL. ๐ What makes this worse is the violence in the early games still didn't prepare them to take security more seriously for the FINAL.

Apparently there is an International Ball Hockey tournament and Canada ๐จ๐ฆ won this year. HUH! The final game vs. Czechia ๐จ๐ฟ found its way in my YouTube feed.
WTF Nord? It just randomly connected me to Japan. You are connected to Japan #624 (jp624.nordvpn.com)! It's never done that. Odd.
A few passing this week:
R.I.P. Shannen Doherty, 90210 and Charmed star. Fsck cancer.
R.I.P. Richard Simmons, fitness guru.
R.I.P. Dr. Ruth, sex expert and media superstar. She was on locally on Q107. Sunday Night Sex Show with Sue... Big deal in pre-Internet days.
