You guys are talking about actual officially existing games and not, like, "Super Mario 16 (actually Joe & Mac reskin)" or "Adventure Island II but with Mario"?

Most of the good games I've got to experience were either direct bootleg copies or 999-in-1 comp cartridges where they somehow managed cram in up to about half a dozen games AND add a boot menu to mix and match some parameters.

Either that or a game about pirates, which, as it turns out, was financed by pirating games from abroad, so... Yarr? 🏴‍☠️

slightly more serious less flippant version of my post from yesterday: whether you ar doing so from a point of pro- or anti- nintendo or video games it is so silly to talk about whether 'video games are more expensive now' 'video games have always been this expensive' when what you're talking about is exclusively big-money titles that you're buying on release day at full price. that's not "video games". that's "video games made for current-gen hardware by activision/nintendo/EA/etc". its like saying "Movies nowadays all have Iron Man in them"

many of the best video games of all time are made by one weird trans girl and available for free Free on itch.io. many more are made by two autistic finnish guys and available on steam for like $10. the "video gamse used to be even more expensive adjusting for inflation" thing is only true about usamerican kids who were playing the new nintendos at the time, to me as a kid "video games" were like ~$8 from a guy with a cd burner or when i was slightly older like $20 for three from the second-hand ps2 games bin. like get some fuckin perspective on the medium god damn

The powers, being hinted at by my name, don't seem to be heroic, but rather befitting those of a supervillain or an anti-hero.

How does one go about pinpointing that one man whose name no one remembers or doesn't even know in the first place?

Or, better yet, they're blending in so perfectly due to their masterful mediocrity, as to not cause anyone to question that that one Joe Schmoe before them even belongs at where they're at - they seem like a piece of backdrop, a part of the routine - so they can easily slip through cracks so tiny that atoms barely fit.

Imagine being that and not trying to pull off that one Toshiba wages heist.

Pros of having a house made out of doors:

+ Excellent ventilation - just open this door and that door and now the air flow is more than double of what any windows could give!

+ Multiple entry points - if you've lost your primary (door's) set of keys, you can open your secondary door with another set!

Cons of having a house made out of doors:

- Multiple entry points - any door can be attacked and picked. Bonus points if they all can be opened with one master key.

- Less structurally sound - less interlaced material = weaker structure. Also leads to "Hope you didn't open this load-bearing door :)" kind of situations.

It's 1am and I'm buying 120m of wood on the internet because I needed a door so I'd say adulthood is going alright

Not Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Cock and Ball Torture but a secret third CBT

"Every magic is Death Magic if you're reckless enough about it!" - some sadistic healer (probably)

(But seriously, imagine healing somebody to death)

Death magic is so stupid, you’ve got all these wizards chucking green energy blasts and think that sounds rad, but then you pop the hood on what the energy does and it just makes you dead. “Ooh look at my death ball, when it hits you it kills you!” Bitch so does a fireball but i’ll give you three guesses which is better for heating up rations or keeping me warm at night. Zero utility, unbelievable.

I love nonfiction that I simply cannot relate to at all. "it's easy to get addicted to buying fast fashion! I used to spend thousands of dollars on it a year!" okay. you're a space alien.

If you replace the metallic shaft with some length of chain, you can sacrifice some degree of spell power and control (Wild Magic aspect) for an "Aura of Fear (Active)" spell (also adds small chance of "Entangled" and "Ignore Shield" status effects)

A magic staff that only has two spells:

instantly transfigure any living creature into the corpse of said creature (may not work on creatures larger than the caster)

summon brain damage

....but.... why?

the emotion i just experienced is kind of indescribable

Well, as someone with a degree in what is essentially applied fluid mechanics, you should have known that by trying to constrict the flow, you only increase the pressure behind it and thus, the speed of its particles, right?

I made the Calvin and Hobbes hot chocolate.

Spoiler alert, because the marshmallows are lighter they just column out the top of the mug. I had to wait for all of them to melt to be able to drink it

as someone who has a degree in what is essentially applied fluid mechanics I should've known better. but for a moment the childish wonder just overtook me
