Same here, except without the "almost". And the "as a child," I guess…

Phew! I saw the previews for this show, thought it looked ludicrously terrible, then read some reviews on this here site that said it was actually very good, and now I'm hearing it's actually bad. Now I don't have to watch it! What a ride.

Have you played the game all the way through? I ask because many of the boss fights are among the most creative and memorable of all platformers.

This summer I unpacked my SNES and some other old systems since my kids are now old enough not to destroy them. So my wife and I have been playing Tetris Attack for hours, every night, since July or so. I dream about Tetris Attack every night. It is destroying my life and I love it!

I'm so glad society has become "exponentially more tolerant of heterosexuality." Whew!

Yeah. I've played enough RPGs to know that sometimes a village has to be razed to show the player that the bad guys are really bad. But when it's done right it makes you feel like people really lived there and something was really lost. Like, say, Doma or Maranda in FF6. In Banner Saga it felt so frequent, at least in…

I couldn't finish Amnesia. After my first try I went back and played the Penumbra games to kind of work my way up to it. Still couldn't finish it. So yeah, I can't wait to play this!

Sounds likely. I'll think about it again tonight when I'm super drunk!

I love the Replacements and have listened to them forever. But I've never understood why 'Mats is short for "Replacements."

Yesss. And the final boss fight is one of the best ever.

Me neither!

These are all good answers. Especially the unlimited 1-ups in SMB: I remember when my (then-godlike to me) older cousin showed me this trick a few decades ago. And I still have never been able to do it myself!

Misread "Adams, Scott" as "Adam Scott" for a second there…

Am I the only one who has zero interest in watching celebrities lip-sync?

Hey, says here it comes with a free month of Reddit Gold!

"I have yet to meet an adult who has even a modicum of real emotional responsibility." …maybe your emotional-responsibility-ometer is off?

"Rape culture" is a useful term and concept because it draws attention to the ways people passively participate in creating a culture where rape is trivialized, women devalued, victims disbelieved, etc.

Wow! I got MRA Bingo!
