Why do games end with time still on the clock?

I have only been watching NFL for 5 weeks (Hi from Melbourne) and I have seen multiple games where there's like three seconds left and the game is decided on the final play, but I have also seen games where there's 20 - 40 seconds left and the players shake each other's hands and walk off the field.

Can someone explain that to me? It's so weird as in every other sport that I have ever seen (except Cricket) the game keeps going until time runs out, and sometimes even beyond (like the Cardinals-Giants game where the Giants got the interception with 1 second to go, then ran it all the way down the field to score a TD even though there was no time left on the clock.

What team do you all support, and why?

Hey everyone!

I am a new NFL convert after watching the Rams v 49ers game, and I am curious about how everyone here started following the sport and what drew them to the team that they follow?

The controls - why no gyro?

This is my first Starfox game, and I am loving it, but just think it would be much more enjoyable if it had more control options.

Gyro, specifically, would make this game phenomenal. Having the ability to manoeuvre the Arwing up and down, left and right etc by moving the controller would be incredible.

It feels like just an obvious thing to have included it's just weird how it's been overlooked.

I have had my Switch 2 since October and this is my first First-Party Switch 2 game!

I've never played a Starfox game before and am so excited to start!

A pest on my young Banksia?

Good morning!

There are some black spots / bugs / eggs on my young banksia, and they also appear to be on the wooden barrel as well.

Any suggestions as to how to combat them would be greatly appreciated!

Starfox multiplayer - what do you think?

I am really looking forward to playing the multiplayer modes on the new Starfox game, but I don't really know what to expect from it.

Firstly, Nintendo must have clearly put a lot of time into developing this multiplayer element, because that game chat camera work is next level.

Secondly, anyone who's played Starfox 64 knows it's a short game. So maybe they are going all in on this multiplayer mode to make up for the main campaign being so short... It kinda makes me think of Splatoon where the story mode is great but short, and most people just focus on the multiplayer mode.

The only thing that worries me about the multiplayer mode is that if they have put a lot of time and effort into it, and really want it to be a success, that kind of implies that the next Starfox game (assuming that they're making one and that it also will have multiplayer) won't be coming out for a year or two.
