All of the faith that he had had had had no effect on the outcome of his life.

Yeah. Reacting? Not a problem! Waiting to react? Ohshitohshitohshit!

I dunno. I grew up on He-Man, Transformers and G.I. Joe, and I think I turned out OK. I suppose I also grew up on Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and The Neverending Story, which may have been just as formative in my nerdiness and are leagues ahead of those first three in terms of quality.

I thought Rogue One wasn’t bad. It was pretty cool knowing the entire time exactly what it was leading up to and seeing how they got there. It was a smart choice to focus on characters we previously knew nothing about and not get bogged down in trying to appeal to nostalgia. Especially considering the whole premise really is hinged on nostalgia for the first film.

I love the combat! There’s nothing more satisfying than learning an enemy’s moves perfectly and then getting that juicy 20% experience boost for whacking them without taking a hit. The balance is a bit off sometimes, but when it’s on, it’s amazing. I finished a long, difficult fight last night with my last character being the only one standing. It was such a cool moment.

Enemies with huge, super-slow wind ups to their attacks can take a hike, though. If I can accidentally parry four-five times in the time it takes you to wind up your attack, just maybe my character should be preemptively counter attacking, y’know.

I have pretty low standards. I enjoy a good schlockfest. That said, the new Star Wars movies were awful. Genuinely awful. I watched the first two out of some sort of misguided loyalty to the franchise and hated almost every minute of both. Rey is possibly the blandest frontwomen in any movie, ever. She does nothing to earn her Jedi powers, and even less with them. Kylo Ren is a whiny baby with daddy issues. The first sequel tries so hard to be A New Hope, but just has none of the charisma or charm. It’s sad.

I did like Luke’s last stand, but there was so much else wrong with that movie, it was like putting fresh whipped cream on a cake made of shit. It’s been years now, and I’ve barely considered watching the third at all. I don’t think I have heard someone say a single good thing about it.

I thought I saw in very recent patch notes that there was a community-made version of SM2?

Zelda 1 seems an odd omission from the supported games. I wonder if some games are harder to implement than others or something.

“개새끼” (pronounced gay sek ee) literally translates to “dog baby”. “Son of a bitch” in Korean. It’s honestly the only example I can think of in Korean. I guess you also hear “돼지” (pronounced dway ji) meaning “pig” for fat people. Pretty bog standard around here I guess.

We spent some time in Italy in the summer about fifteen years ago, and you genuinely had to be careful which cities you visited at which times because entire cities would go on vacation at the same time. We went to Bologna at the wrong time apparently because almost everything was closed except for a few things around the train station. While it was kind of nice having the place to ourselves and wandering the parks, it also sucked to have to eat convenience store food. Coming from a place where almost everything is open year round, 24 hours a day, it was wild.

Windows is so full of stupid little shit that should have been fixed years - if not decades - ago. Sleep mode broken, folder customize options don’t apply to subfolders despite offering that choice, the OP. Sigh.
