There's an infographic showing only about 5% of a US football match is actually playing the game.

I properly appreciated golf on TV after I actually tried to play a bit myself. Once I had a proper appreciation of the skill gap it became much more impressive to me.

if you have a nintendo switch you can get golfinite for like $2.50 on sale right now which is a decent little timewaster golf game.

I've pumped at least a dozen hours into it while stoned.

tv golf is basically like tv cricket. interesting enough to watch, boring enough to have a good kip to. my main beef with televised golf is the pgas hardon for links courses. Give me a fuckin bush course with kangaroo hazards like at kooralbyn. I think if a golf course is going to be in florida there should be at least one alligator that lives on each par 5.

tbh this sounds better but I already blew the money on mario golf and its pretty sick, you can play it in normal console mode or dumbass wii sports mode and both are pretty sick. My only real criteria for a golf game is I want the environment to make some noise,

Speaking of Switch and golf, Golf Story is great, a tribute to old school Mario Golf by an Australian developer. It's also got a sequel Sports Story, though I haven't played that yet.

Mario golf online with a few mates is a good way to turn a hungover Sunday into a drinking at 11am Sunday. Or it was til one of the mates sold his switch.

Seconded. I finished it recently and was genuinely sad it was over. Unfortunately I've heard that the sequel is not so good and the devs have more or less dropped support and gone quiet.

My company just announced a roll out of a new email signature recently (which has since taken place), but they didn't even test it against dark mode.

So the email I got where they signed off with it, I couldn't read poo poo in the section where it says their name and role and business links lol

It's good for 2.50 I wouldn't pay the full $15 or whatever.



Downloaded the Mario golf game. Not sure how I feel about the race mode (speed golf). It's fun, but I have a fundamental dislike of being on a timer during games, especially golf games.


I'm also 99% certain that this is the first Mario game I've owned which feels kinda weird.

I looked at golf story and decided to skip, but given the recommendations here I'm rethinking it.

big this ^

any sport of any kind as long as there are lots of camera angles and the commentary isnt too jarring/no one has an annoying voice. If some pals are around I'll watch competitive paint drying

current affairs, light-hearted game shows and cooking programs, on the other hand, will vanish me from the lounge room like a catastrophic decompression event

I've applied the same logic to YouTube videos (good presentation, easy voice, no bullshit editing) since all the popular talking heads on YouTube tend to cover similar topics you can just find the one that hits that sweet spot.

Watching golf - Boring
Playing golf (in a video game) - Great, you get to do the interesting skill stuff all the time
Playing golf (in real life) - Good, depending where it's a nice walk for a few hours.

South Australia has a bucket load of public courses too.

Breetai posted:

The above poo poo is why the only spectator sport I have ever been able to stand has been roller derby, because it's a tight two half-hour halves per bout, completely non-stop action, and if you even think about looking away from the action on the track you're going to miss things like a jammer flying 2 m horizontally at waist height onto concrete, bouncing once and then getting straight up again, or one of the blockers grabbing another blocker on their team by the back of her shirt and using her like a battering ram on the opposing jammer.
Derby is great.

It's 'only' 12 (extreme). That's stay indoors rating for everywhere else in the world but beach weather for Australia because we love skin cancer so much.

But yeah, I could feel myself just burning going outside. Chuck in the humidity from the building storm and its just rancid out there.
