Metroid Retrospective: Super Metroid

And Super Metroid complete. For the 50th time in my life (I haven't kept track but I wouldn't be surprised).

Completion time: 2:05 (I could have done sub-2hr but I went to some of my favorite unnecessary rooms just for fun and took an extra minute to "save the animals")

Item rate: 55%

Super Metroid is a phenomenon. Released in March, 30 years ago, it remains enjoyable, approachable, fresh, and relevant to this day, an accomplishment that few other games can match, and extremely few action/adventure games.

Also, few games do atmosphere this well. Even coming recently from games with far more complex graphics, like Zero Mission and Fusion, there is something wonderfully somatic about the sprites used in Super Metroid. Sprites might not be super detailed, but they feel "weighty" and enjoyable to look at, the same way old cartoons (in the style of Cuphead, for instance) are just fun to look at. Super Metroid's art is simple but perfect. Every single bit of every single graphical block or sprite is absolutely necessary to illustrate what it is and give the feel of it, and no bit is wasted. It's like it has found the purest essence of sci-fi, action, and horror. The same praise extends to its soundtrack. And honestly, even to its story, which is distilled down to the most critical parts and which still leaves me emotional after 50 times viewing the ending. The whole thing is timeless.

Beyond this, the lasting nature of the game comes down to the move-sets given to Samus and the willingness of the developers to let players use these move sets to sequence break -- to break the order of play that the developers intended by reaching items, locations, and bosses early. I'm not a master sequence breaker, but as an example I managed to reach Kraid without the High Jump and to collect the Wave Beam and Power Bombs early, which saved me about thirty minutes of playtime.

Because of this openness, Super Metroid becomes like a huge playground. If you are new to it, then it leads you on an exceptionally atmospheric journey, with scripted moments and sprite animations that still are impressive and well paced in 2024. For these players, they may never even discover half the moves you can do, like Shinesparking and Turbo Bombing, because they aren't needed to beat the game.

But if you are experienced and know how to use these tricks, then the game becomes something else entirely, a series of reflex challenges to see how much you can "break" the game using these techniques. It's like a game that made glitching part of its mission (because the game doesn't actually glitch out when you sequence break).

I think that many open world games which claim to give the players choices actually don't; they give the illusion of choice but compensate by making those choices unimportant or very brief in their effects on the game world. Super Metroid, though it doesn't let you change anything in the story, actually does give you choices that matter and a world that is open world not by default but becomes more so the better at the game you get.

I only have one complaint about the game and that is that having to hold down a button to run is painful. Switching weapons is a little clunky, too, but doesn't ultimately disrupt my gameplay. However, I have no idea how I ever played this as a kid without realizing how awkward it is to have to constantly hold a run button.

There. I found something legit to complain about. One complaint against a game that forever changed the genre and has been the foundation for hundreds of later games.

World record speed run for Super Metroid currently stands at about 45 minutes, by the way. And people are still discovering new ways to beat it.

1) Super Metroid

2) Fusion

3) Zero Mission

4) Metroid 1

Hi ! Just saw your tags in the women in horror movies post, would you mind, when you have time, giving me your recommendation in horror movies ? It's a genre i'm learning to appreciate and i'll be curious to know what your favorite are ! Hope you're having a good day !

Oh nooooooo, you’ve activated one of my trap cards.

So the fun thing about horror is that it’s truly a diverse genre with many different places to start. I hardly feel qualified to make a rec list, because I feel like there’s still so much I haven’t seen??? So the below is by no means comprehensive, but hopefully it helps get you started! Also please feel free to talk to me about horror anytime, haha, I would love to know what you think if you get around to watching any of these.

The Classics: -The Blair Witch Project. The inception of found footage horror. -Halloween. The first slasher I ever watched. John Carpenter made this on a shoestring budget and the behind-the-scenes story is so fun. Plus, Jamie Lee Curtis’s breakout role. -Candyman (1992). Tony Todd is so sexy in this, but also it’s a great horror story about the power of myth, and an exploration of racial dynamics in Chicago. -Poltergeist. Has its issues but ultimately a very fun movie about a family working together to try and rescue their daughter from evil spirits. There’s a very famous scene with a clown doll. You’ll know it when you see it.

Women and horror: -The Perfection. Queer and deeply messy. An exploration of how art can still be used as a system for abuse. Tw: implied sexual assault, self-harm. -Ginger Snaps. Explores the struggles of two teenage sisters via werewolf metaphor. Love this one. -The Witch. Ominous and atmospheric. The horrors of being a girl raised in a religious fundamentalist family. -Jennifer’s Body. A cult classic that’s been validated/revisited in more recent years. Also queer and messy. Transplants the dynamics of teenage girl best friends into a horror movie setting. -The Babadook. Queer internet icon, but also an exploration of mental illness and the horrors of motherhood/the fear of being a bad mom. -The Descent. Do not watch this if you’re claustrophobic. A group of women go cave diving and discover creatures lurking beneath the earth. I think of certain shots/scenes from this movie often. -Black Christmas (1974). A sorority house is stalked by an unknown killer over the holiday season. Probably the one slasher that still scares the hell out of me, mainly because of how it chooses to depict its killer. Also more political than you’d think, featuring an abortion subplot in the 70s no less. -Us. Lupita Nyong'o should have won an Oscar for this one. -Hereditary. Ari Aster has his flaws as a filmmaker (who doesn’t) but this movie is like……really good. Toni Collette knocks it out of the park. Tw for GRAPHIC depiction of child death and suicide. Movies that personally scared the hell out of me: -Oculus. The fun thing about horror as a genre is that everyone has specific tropes that personally freak them the hell out. This movie dug its nails into one of mine and would not let go. -Parasite. People will probably argue that this is not a horror movie so much as a “thriller” but this movie felt like a borderline panic attack and filled me with despair, and if that ain’t horror, I don’t know what is. Sci-fish horror: -Nope. I really think this might be Jordan Peele’s best movie. Two fantastic lead actors, and dense with ideas, worth watching more than once. -Alien + Aliens. Sigourney Weaver should be enough of a selling point. The first two movies are famous, and they fully live up to the hype.

Personal faves: -Trick ‘r Treat. I watch this every October. A ton of fun. -The Lost Boys. 80s vampire camp, and kinda gay tbh. -Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula. This film is darkly, gorgeously sumptuous. Just a spectacle of practical effects and costuming, and I highly recommend checking out the behind-the-scenes features. -The Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter. Lambs being my problematic fave for years. Manhunter is the best adaptation of Red Dragon hands down (no disrespect to NBC’s Hannibal.) -Rear Window. Because while Psycho is good, it’s also a problematic fave. Plus Rear Window was the first Alfred Hitchcock movie I ever saw, and it holds a special place in my heart for that alone. -The Invitation. The most uncomfortable dinner party in a film I’ve ever sat through. A slow burn for sure, with a terrifyingly good payoff. A movie about grief, unreliable narrators and primarily, the horror of no longer knowing people as well as you thought you did. Tw for suicide/self-harm. -Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. I adore the first few seasons of the Tales from the Crypt TV series, but you don’t need to watch any of the show in order to enjoy this standalone movie. It’s silly. It’s gross. Billy Zane is having the time of his life as the villain, plus Jeryline is one my fave final girls in horror. -Hellraiser (1987). I adore Clive Barker as a writer (if you like to read horror too, please, PLEASE check him out) and I love that he got to direct his own feature film. This movie is gross, horny as hell, and unlike anything you’ve seen before. Misc recs: -Jacob’s Ladder. Surreal, nightmarish and tragic. Hard to talk about this one without giving too much away. Would recommend going in blind and letting it unfold. -Possession. This movie is Nuts. Even harder to talk about this one. Isabelle Adjani especially carries this film with her performance. -Barbarian. Probably my favorite new horror movie I watched last year. An examination of rape culture that didn’t feel exploitative (rare in horror.) Also some of the most bizarre plot twists I’ve seen. Go in blind. -American Psycho. Still my favorite role of Christian Bale’s to date. Funny: -Tremors. Horror is a fantastic space for practical effects, and it’s really, really hard not to love all the work that went into operating the giant worm puppets. Also hard not to love the queer platonic partnership between Kevin Bacon and Earl Bassett’s main characters. -What We Do in the Shadows. Also rec’ing the TV show, but the original film still holds up and is funny as shit. Animation: -Perfect Blue. Satoshi Kon is one my favorite creators of all time, and this was the first feature film he made. Tw for an implied/simulated rape scene. -Paranoia Agent. Not a movie but an 11 episode anime series, also from Satoshi Kon. A mixing of genres, but tied together with a horror-themed premise and tone. I fucking love this show.

I don’t know if they’re available internationally as a streaming service, so it might depend on what country you’re in? But if you’re looking to get into more horror, I would def recommend checking out Shudder. They’re strictly horror-focused, with a wide variety of film and TV, plus they’re only 5 dollars a month!

I would also suggest checking out a great book called, “It Came From The Closet”, a collection of essays on horror movies from queer and trans writers.

Happy viewing!!! Genuinely hope you enjoy and can't wait to hear what you think!

[abstractlesbian]

hi noah would u like to do the 5 songs/10 followers music ask game!!!

Yes please I need a break from my finals thank you 🙏🏻

Been listening to this one constantly since with came out 2 weeks ago , been really fun listening to/singing

"If you think I'm stupid now, you should see me when I'm high

And I'm smarter than I look, I'm the dumbest girl alive"

While working thru my last few weeks of college

Recently realized I've just been listening to Francis Cabrel albums from the 70s thru 2004 my whole life and I should probably check if he's still alive (he is) and if he's made any music since then (he has) and if it's good (it is!!) . Really nostalgic artist for me and this song in particular is called songs for Jacques, which was my paternal grandpa's name and this album came out the same month and year he died so it's been comforting to listen to

I don't have a story for this one, showed up in my Spotify discover weekly at the start of the semester and I've been listening to it all winter

Been visiting my parents a lot this past month which means I'm hearing my dad's new album constantly. Still really proud of the cover art I made 🥰 and I love this one! my sister and I are trying to encourage my dad to use horns in his music more and I'm going to try to slowly trick him into making ska music

Speaking of ska, my fiancée has slowly been turning me into a ska fan and I can't stop listening to Kill Lincoln. couldn't pick between these two songs

Bonus:

The trombone player from We Are The Union posts fun ska covers on their YouTube

Ok I have to get back to my medical/science research final so instead of sending an ask to 10 ppl I'm going to tag some

@sapphoid @tinymush @beetlemage @pokemondubstep @officecyborg @cannabiscomrade @librarycards @celestial-uran @glowythings & anyone else who wants to do this

[squarebracket-trickster]

Omg you are describing me too!!!

I actually did not realize I was hypermobile until I was in my teens. As a kid I had a theory that my knees were a little weird because the other kids' legs did not look like *that* when they were standing, but maybe they were all just bending their knees slightly and I missed the memo?

And every kid can w-sit and sit in lotus position and touch their heels to their belly-button, right?

Besides, I couldn't even touch my hands to the floor. How could I possibly be hypermobile? I was like the least flexible child I knew! I had friends that could do the splits!

One time another girl in my grade 6 class back-bent her elbows as a party trick and I was like, "haha cool trick! wish I could do that!"

I only started to realize something might be amiss when I was in my teens. One time after martial arts a few of us students were talking about a wrist lock we do during warm up. One of the senior students was demonstrating it and I realized her fingers did not bend back more than 90 degrees so I asked her why she was clenching her fingers and if we were supposed to do that. And she looked at me like ????? Then we all started comparing how far back our fingers could bend and that is when I discovered I was not normal.

Only after that did I realize I could, in fact, back-bend my elbows and I should probably stop doing that when I do push ups...

When I was 15 I had a naturopath tell me "you have a unusually long history of weird, unexplained health issues including fatigue, GI issues, terrible circulation, and random joint complaints... maybe you should google this thing called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and see if any of the types seem like you."

So I googled them, went through the symptoms of each of the 13 types, and went "holy shit! this all sounds so serious! none of this is me! ...well, maybe type-III could be me? but like, only if you apply the diagnostic criteria really, really loosely." So I told my naturopath I was fairly certain I did not have EDS and it never came up again.

Until I was in my twenties and my chronic fatigue got so bad I was like, "okay, think. are there any other weird things about my body that might be symptoms of something?" I revisited the EDS-III (now hEDS) criteria, decided it still wasn't me, but I did stumble onto some stuff about BHS/JHS/HSD and I was like "oh... oh. This is me."

So I went to my doctor, sat down in his office, twisted in my seat and cracked my back in 13 places at once, then went, "I think I have either Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder".

And he, without missing a beat, went, "sounds like it."

And then I feel down the rabbit hole of researching my condition and well, suddenly, soooo many weird things from my childhood started to make sense. I'm still discovering new things all the time about my HSD. Apparently it's not normal for your joints to pinch and grind together when you unscrew a jar lid??? And apparently that one vein that's always been visible beneath my eye is an indication of the thin, translucent skin that sometimes shows up in hEDS (I don't have it nearly severe enough to be worried about vEDS though THANK GOD). Also, apparently I do, in fact, have heel papules. I genuinely did not think I did (answered no when my doctor and I reviewed the hEDS criteria together...) until a recent imposter syndrome-induced hyperfixation on the hEDS criteria had me actually google what they looked like and how to make them show up.

fun times...

But, I agree, bendy bodies are great for sports. Other students at my dojo like practicing with me because it forces them to work on their technique. You need to get the angles for locks and pins just right if you want any kind of control over my arms. Luckily I have never been injured due to my hypermobility in 11 years of Aikido but I have started practicing with compression braces on my wrists (and thumbs), ankles, and elbows, just to be safe.

Writeblr Re-Intro

Yo! I'm V Saintsin. Or V or Vin or Saintsin or whatever you want to call me that sounds right on your tongue. I'm a self-proclaimed Social Media fumbler who got a late start to the party and has never quite figured it out. I hate how hipster and edgy it sounds to say "I'm bad at social media" but like I used to work with some people who actually managed the social media accounts for the business we worked for and there were rules and whatnot and damn, I think online media is just not my medium. That being said, here I am! Hah

I'm an author and general mess who's hoping to be the miracle man (somebody who makes a living writing silly little stories). I do use a pseudonym but please hear me out when I say I didn't realize how edgy it sounds, it just has some sentimental value to my personal life. I'm so sorry that I sound like I'm in my emo phase HAHA

About me -

He/Him Transguy from the American Midwest (arguably the south, depending on who you talk to, but the older people still say "Sodi-pop" and "ope").

I'm dysautonomic, bendy, permanently sleepy, and a survivor of Crappy Doctors Who Suck At Doctoring.

I like DnD, Pathfinder, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk, Dragon Age, and other things in that vein.

I do make art of my stories and characters (Tablet is currently not working so I'm in a dry spell).

My writing background is predominantly ancient, dusty RPs from as far back as the foopets days and fanfic writing on Quizilla - I am an old and wizened elder of the net.

My formal education was music performance and behavioral neuroscience, I don't really know how I got where I am.

This is not my first rodeo with tumblr but it is the first time I have anything to SAY instead of just lurking.

In the event of malfunction, you can put me outside for 5 minutes and I'll probably factory reset.

My existence as I know it hinges on a massive number of sticky notes plastered throughout my room.

What I'm lookin' for -

Idk, whatever? I'm down for most things. Did you write it? Cool, let me see. I'm not too bent on genre or anything, just fascinated by the art of storytelling.

A bit tentative with fanfiction but that's just because if it's not a fandom I'm familiar with I am rather clueless about what the hell is going on and if it's a fandom I am familiar with I HUNT DOWN THE DEEP LORE.

I like art a whole lot, including fanart. Also art advice, love seeing things from different perspectives and learning something new.

Mutuals, really, for any reason. Building better connections on here, getting to know people. I am hideously bad at this but I try.

What I write -

Science Fiction with heavy subjects that matter to me - trigger warnings on a story-by-story basis.

High Fantasy (eventually books I think?) characters and their backgrounds for DnD and Pathfinder - I have been tempted to share these to help people get ideas or just for free use?

Things that I delete because I have crippling imposter syndrome and publishing makes me nauseous (doin' it tho).

Stories that I hope will make people feel less alone or that people could relate to, stories that I wish I had when life was worse and I was reaching out for anything I could find to keep me afloat, stories that try to be critical of things that SUCK in a way that's any helpful.

Lots of curse words and cussing (that's just how people talk 'round here), dubious science, things that I hope might make you cry but in a good way though.

Character-Driven stories that revolve more around the development of the person and less around the plot itself if that makes sense.

I've put blurb things below for my primary project/series which features a grumpy, queer, 37-year old chain smoking Frenchman and his misadventures with life and love and unbridled rage. If any of that sounds cool stick around and hang out? (This part is a plug bc I did a thing and I'm proud of it) And if my books sounds interesting the first one is 99 cents on Kindle and you just need a phone and a free app to read it!

THE SECRET OF LIFE (Published) - Sci-Fi/Psychological Thriller, Bi M Lead, Lovers to Enemies, AI but the oldschool cool kind not the real world thing that's stealing our future

Carlisle-Trystan Antoinette is a mercenary on a hard road, navigating life and death itself in an infinite cycle started by powers above his understanding. He has one mission - warn The Dianican Space Station of the coming threat and put a stop to a war that would encapsulate the whole of the Sol System before it can ever begin. Unfortunately for Carlisle, reality is a tenuous thing, made up only by our understanding of it. At least, according to his Psychiatrist, who tells him that there is no war, that he was never a mercenary, and that what Carlisle is experiencing is a severe but manageable psychotic break. Stripped of his combat enhancements, his bio monitor, and everything he's every known, Carlisle has a decision to make. Does he give in to the thoughts and memories, so real that he can almost taste them, or does he live a life of comfort and ease, returning to a husband and daughter that he left behind?

TWs: Domestic and War Violence, suicide, rape, medical trauma, grief, drug use

THE SILENCE OF ANGELS (Due July '24, TSoL 2) - Betrayal and Rage, Learning how to love again slow-burn romantic subplot, Learning how to Dad, A general inability for any one thing to just go right

(Quick Rough Blurb that offers no spoilers for TSoL) Making connections isn't easy for somebody who's accustomed to burning bridges. Isolation has always been Carlisle's mantra for surviving his life. Playing a role comes second nature, pretending to be the man that everyone else wants to see in him. When an old friend is murdered Carlisle finds himself as the primary suspect with all evidence pointing to him so clearly that even he calls to question what he is capable of. Unwilling to believe that he could commit such a heinous crime, Carlisle sets off to find the truth of his friend's death - was Carlisle framed or does he truly have the capacity to bring such harm upon those he loves? Old and new bonds will be tested, faith broken, and the future of everyone called into question as lines are drawn and sides are picked.

TWs: Violence, mentions of SA, graphic character death, more grief, more death

I don't know what else to say... Later!

[maryo274]

Deku: Hey! Hey! Guess what. I just studied your quirk and support items and I think I have the perfect Quirk to match your Web-Shooters. This is a new Quirk I recently awakened, it's called Blackwhip. 😊

Peter: Wooooow!! It reminds me of the kind of magic energy a hero called Wanda Maximoff from my universe uses. 😮

Deku: Well, it's actually not magic at all. It's enery I can use to grab things and onto them. Similar to your webs, I can use it to swing from place to place, it's basically like a superpowered grappling hook. I can also use it to catch and restrain my opponents. ☝🏼😉

Peter: AWESOOOOOME!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Deku: I just discovered it recently so I'm still learning what else I can do with Blackwhip. Why don't we go swing around so you can teach me a few tricks? 😄

Peter: That'd be so fun!! Let's go! Let's make it a race! 👊🏼😄

And so these two young heroes kept on learning and growing while swinging forward together.

Here's a sequel to my little MCU X My Hero Academia Crossover fanart. I have noticed how similar Blackwhip is to Peter's webs to some extent. 😊

I know I've been missing for a looooong while now but that's what it means to work on your thesis in your final year of college, luckily I passed the first part and next semester I turn in the complete thesis and it's graduation time! Wish me luck.😄

I'm officially on break right now so expect more art in the coming days. Hope you like it. ✌🏼😉

[shadowkat678]

Yo! Send me asks about my d&d characters. As many questions as you want the more the better.

I'm bored. I promise I'll answer this time we're getting into hyper fixation territory.

My characters so far you can ask about!

1. Jin

This is my swashbuckler changeling who likes to pretend they don't have crippling issues that need therapy. Them (or at least the form that Jin grew up embodying) and their sister, Elza, are also my profile pic! Speaking of, Jin recently got back their sister, who was very dead which Jin had a lot of self blame for, after making a stream of mistakes to get there. Also, their brother hates them. The three are triplets technically but Jin was switched at birth, in more traditional changeling fashion. Feeling So Much™️. Non-binary disaster.

Jin really just wants a break but despite apparently gaining the favor of a luck goddess, who knows when they'll actually get a real break. Because oh look, on top of personal issues, we also gotta deal with cults! Fun! We did get to hijack an airship in the process of rescuing their sister though, so that was fun. Also the Wish spell used to bring her back to life MAY have affected the timeline in very important ways???????? Oops?

Jin may have managed to get my favorite forgotten realms npc as his enemy. Jarlaxle, secret ruler of Luskan and my top favorite pirate drow, is probably going to be after their ass. Yep. It was HIS airship! :D

Feel like karma is getting me back for all the shit I've pulled dming with Jarlaxle against my players. Welp.

2. Sabel

My drow primordial warlock. Her home was overtaken by an evil lich hellbent on ruling the Underdark. Her dad disappeared a few years before and possibly is involved in a resistance movement? She was also tricked into giving up information critical in said conquest by her uncle, so she ran off into the Underdark, almost died, and was saved by her patron who she still has no clue what their deal is. Now also part of resistance and is roaming the surface looking for allies and experiencing extreme culture shock every ten minutes or so. Also very gay but currently still too preoccupied with PTSD and the lich taking over her home for relationships.

Anxious. About everything. All the time. Her familiar Mojo doubles as a therapy animal who rides on her shoulder as a fire salamander. She has gone into hyperventilation twice so far so I mean not doing as bad as she could be. Number might get higher. Considering those times involved seeing a friend die and the city the party had been sheltering getting OVERRUN BY DEMONS...I mean, hyperventilating is a fair reaction to that I think.

She is also the group mom friend and is the only character I've ever played who's actually trustful of authority, and as someone who absolutely not, the trouble she gets into due to this trait and being a naive neutral good goody two shoes is MADDENING.

3. Dalora

A Dhampire monk with a dip in rogue for cunning action. She was dealing in some shady side gigs while apprenticed to her guild. This ended in a not so fun neck biting encounter that she's still surprised to have woken up from, abit with...a significantly lower heart rate and no longer needing to breathe.

She's now taken up mercenary work, along with modeling on the side for her girlfriend Melody, a tiefling bard who is tired of Dolora racing in with blood all over her shirts. Think Josephine from Dragon Age Inquisition and you have Melody's entire aesthetic.

She wants to move past her early life choices, but the bastard who bit her MAY have found out she lived and MAY not be happy about it. Not currently playing her, but I really, really, really want to if nothing else than for the antics with her girlfriend, who of course gives Dolora all her clothing. I need art and a full romcom for these two CN lesbian disasters stat.

4. Lorana

Next, the tiefling old ones warlock who is discovering why her dad was so deadset on her staying home and safe. AKA, the world be shitty sometimes, especially when you're in a minority group people often don't always like. Sadly, her dad has disappeared, and she's stuck working everything out with just her, the party, and an annoying Sprite named Callum who won't stop being sarcastically critical about anything and everything.

She got her powers when she found a Magician terrot card baring her likeness, and now EVERYTHING is WEIRD. Also no matter how often she throws the card away, it keeps showing up back in her bag. She also has super unsettling dreams sometimes.

This was my first serious character and sadly the games I put her in all ended super soon so I never got very far with her. I still love her concept and want to use her again one day, but at this point I'm worried she's just cursed.

5. Riana, prefers to be called Rini.

Last but not least, my punk rock aasimar trickster cleric. Her mom and uncle kept fighting over custody to use her aasimar rep for their own ends, so she scammed them both and ran off. Sadly, both are very influential people, and are not happy with getting tricked by a rebellious teenager. It's cool though because she found some friends that are letting her hang with them low key, and occasionally they go get in bar brawls, which are great bonding experiences. She just got her first piercing and her spiritual weapon is a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat.

I also haven't played her yet but when I do it'll probably be on the cusp of her mom finding where she's been and she needs to GTFO pronto. Very bubbly and enthusiastic, but also no I'm not telling you about my background so stop asking and let's just wreck something. Also she has a guardian angel that's only minimally going along with the antics but also does agree with getting out of the toxic environment. He's just not sure if he approves too much more of her new activities. She thinks he needs to get the stick out his ass.

Very split on the topic of being religious, despite being a cleric, and kinda just wants to have a good time and not go back to being used in her family.

.

.

.

And those are my current five d&d characters, sadly only two in current use. Though I think about all of them constantly.

WHY I'M SMARTER THAN APPLE

Right now the limiting factor on the number who could be employed by small, fast browser that was actively maintained would be a way to be in the same position as the runner. Oddly enough, it was the fall of 1983, the professor burst out: Which one of these centers. They also generally provide a better education. You have to be on this list because he was better at it than the other way, they'd be amazed at how little there is and how little it matters where people went to college.1 That's the lower bound there for practical reasons. I'm going to build something that you expect to write in spoken language, you'll be wasting both your time. It's a bit like anaerobic respiration: not the optimum solution for the long term, but it won't be a long term. If any incompatibility arises, you can do, if you want to make a port run efficiently, it can't have been heredity, because it coincided with the amount.

Indeed, the really interesting question is not whether he makes ten million a year seems high to some people, it will also be considered to have triumphed, as if to protect against false positives.
