I think it’s kinda funny how Misty and Brock are so important in a lot people’s minds (and the US version definitely played that up in commercials and merchandise and, uh... pop albums inspired by the cartoon) but realistically they probably weren’t in the series all that long.

Man, I’ve spent so much time feeling out Lego figures over the years. Sometimes I even keep the series sheet/checklist/photo thingy in my wallet so I can look at it while feeling around. My son is still young enough that he’s actually impressed with this shit, so that fuels me when my hands get sore.

I don’t have kids and this is the first time I’ve heard about this “scam”. But, I don’t see how it’s any different then say, Pokemon cards back in the day, where you don’t know what you’re getting until you open it and you keep buying more to collect them all.

Jesus Christ, what year is it to people in Kansas?

This is one if the best games to read about with no practical knowledge of. I literally don’t know how a rap game worked before microphones, and why button mapping mattered, or what the hell the chicken level is... Basically all my knowledge on this game is the name and that it has a rapping dog, which made your whole…

I really like your list, but

Yeah... I cancelled my EGM subscription after I broke a Wavebird goin for Sonic and Tails in Melee. Good times.

One of the reasons I’m glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's is things like this. Sure, this pursuit—and others like it (I cannot give an accurate count of the hours I spent trying to bring back General Leo)—were ultimately nothing but wild goose chases, but damn, was it fun.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m absolutely grateful…

The younger siblings of the world are pressing X to pay respects

I showed up to the [private school] PTA meeting in a tee shirt that said “Driver picks the music, passenger shuts their cake hole”. You could see one of my tattoos (it’s of the Millennium Falcon). All the other mom’s had on pant suits or dresses. The thing is, they were setting up for the Halloween carnival, lots…

My parents are church people, dad’s a deacon. They would yell at me if I ever judged anyone for not wanting to go to church and or told them they were harming their children by being atheists. To them and me our motto is “We worship God, if you’d like to know more just ask us. If not no biggie.”

The events, oh lord. When my son was tiny, I was invited to a crafts play group. Yay! What time? 10:30 Tuesdays. Oh. I work. You....What now? I might as well have said I was only interested in crafts made from human remains.

Ugh, those fucking pyramid schemes make me wanna punch someone in the throat. If I have to hear one more thing about essential oils I’m gonna lose my shit.

Sadly, Nintendo has already issued the child a Cease and Desist

I actually love the shrines. I think they are a clever solution to the problem of a puzzle game like Zelda moving into modern gaming. Quite a few have been inventive and fun, without needing to be crammed into a single temple that you need to beat in one play session.

What if they just rename it “Royale with Cheese”?
