Eh, I don’t mind an elaborate and fanciful backstory. If nothing else, poking around at old DOS files strummed some weird nostalgia strings. But the more you examine, the less it holds up to scrutiny.

Two reviews on 9/15/2016 on the site you linked. A forum post here dated 9/17/2016: https://www.classicdosgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1623

I beat this, pre-internet, at no later than age 10. There’s a lot to be said for tenacity. The last dungeon nearly made me go insane, but it got done (and many a WERE BAT died while grinding the meseta and XP to get it done).

This is it, folks. As someone who has generally moved from “yayy animu” to “there are like six good anime and everything else is just tits/plot” over the last 20 or so years, we now are opening the weird door to our shameful shrine for the world to see. I say this as someone who owns one of those out of print,…

“Transmission” is just about peak JD for me — “We would have a fine time living in the night / Left to blind destruction / Waiting for our sight”...

Every so often I fire up the ol’ WoW sub to see what all the fuss is about.

I guess that means you had WC I (3 disks) plus Secret Missions 1 and 2 (1 disk each) and WC II (7 disks)? I have fond memories of having to futz endlessly to get the second game to run on the ol’ 286 — it technically was below spec so it ran painfully slow, but after beating WC I there was no choice but to keep…

This is the only correct take.

Sadly, there are no Roy Rogers left in Delaware. Come to Frederick, MD instead and enjoy your selection of any of our six locations. It’s the perk of being the home of the corporate headquarters.

As someone who travels from the mid-Atlantic to upper New England on the semi-regular for leisure, my family has sussed out the “best” route through the greater NY metropolitan area over the years in the interest of avoiding traffic: NJ Turnpike -> Garden State Pkwy -> 287 -> Hutchinson River Pkwy (turns into Merritt)…

Last year I bought a 960 GB Sandisk Ultra II SSD for ~$120 on Amazon (before taxes). I’m having a hard time adjusting to how much SSD prices have increased since then.

It would have been faster, hopefully more accurate, and less reprehensible to just come out and say it: “Hail Zorp.”

Flash back to 2012: my first car, a car gifted to me by my father, is starting to heroically die. I had put up with minor inconveniences (such as wipers turning on randomly, back door locks not working, etc) because it was a free car and I was mostly broke, working a low-paying job with a 50+ mile commute each way,…

This appears to be a lightly redesigned version of the Anker RoboVac 10, which I own. If that is the case, then it can definitely move over thresholds. However, it will occasionally have problems if it’s coming from a funny angle, and it also sometimes has problems moving from the hardwood floor onto the thick area…

This brought me the tiniest shred of joy in an otherwise joyless, nihilistic existence in the self-annihilating shitstorm that is the present.

I’m all for this, but why stop with Melania’s papers? Show me Cheetolini’s original long-form birth certificate. His father’s parents and his mother were foreign nationals.

The Gang Beats Boggs. #46? That’s top 10 material. Drunk Charlie gets subtitles: “I got all numbers,” “Give me the hotdog, baby,” etc; Drunk Dee talks to the ghost of Boss Hogg and takes a nap on the luggage carousel; Drunk Frank channels his inner Mantis Toboggan and poisons the youth; Dennis misses his mark and…

Roosh V reading Marcus Aurelius reminds me of Kevin Kline reading Nietzsche in A Fish Called Wanda, which is hilarious:

I don’t have much love left, but what I do have is all earmarked for the various groups being figuratively and literally attacked by the nouveau-fasciste. Trump and his cadre of swampfolk can fuck right off — if I ever see any of my mouth-breathing redneck townsfolk bullying someone for committing the capital offense…

My metric is simple — do I feel like a pervert for watching it? Then I turn it off. This is why I haven’t watched any new anime in about a decade.
