Someone thought it was a Good Idea to put me (7th? overall at the time) in an EarthBound Pajama% race against then world record holder UltimoIce. I spent the time between the announcement and race day playing nothing but EarthBound in a training regime worthy of a Rocky-style montage. I’m practicing stairs glitch on…

I was looking forward to this section hoping you’d cover the conversation between Dyne and Barret, specifically the lines about their hands being too dirty/unclean/whatever to “carry Marlene.” It’s a symbolism-heavy section so I always wondered how it was worded in Japanese.

Does it just a long time for the game’s pathing to wiggle you out, or are you up there permanently without a scroll or death warp?

For a Ravenloft campaign, I ended up playing a Half-Ogre, Halfling-trained Cleric of the Goddess of Athena. There’s actually a good backstory behind this strange combination of features, but that’s a wall of text not everyone would want to read.
