That’s the secret John’s keeping...he CAN’T use magic anymore. The song was written for him, so I have to assume that’s the reason his is “permanent” unlike Astra.

You clearly don’t know about how the source code for Super Mario 64 works if you think it doesn’t require the original game. Yes, once built it will run without it, but the code itself requires an original ROM to compile an executable.

Yeah, it does have an exceptionally good record.

I mean, anyone who things NOBODY is gonna die doing ANYTHING in space is naive. People will die just like they’ve already died even with things as “mundane” as getting to the ISS.

That would be the closest thing they could get to a legitimate case, but I think that ROM hacks have gotten by on some technicality for decades and this would fall under it as well.

Nope, I developed two different GUI tools for it last summer to aid in the compilation of it for people who were not comfortable with compiling from command line.

Nah, the PC port's been around almost a year. It's not going anywhere since they don't actually distribute any ACTUAL Nintendo assets.

Yes and no

Also, don't get involved with other couples for anything more than casual FWB. It gets complicated real fast otherwise and ultimately ends up in a really bad place if two people have a falling out while the other dynamics would prefer to have continued.

The idea of getting enemies from entirely other games if they just throw all the games together randomly is actually appealing. SMB and all of a sudden you’ve got Boos and Dry Bones showing up from SMB3 or Chargin’ Chucks from SMW.

I personally think Pac-Man 99 is the best of the retro battle royale games Nintendo’s done this with.

I’m enjoying it. I really enjoyed the story of Persona 5, but I’m not a big fan of turn-based combat though it wasn’t terrible since I could typically steamroll the...in Futaba’s words...“trash mobs”, so it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Yeah, I need to restart with a different class as I’m not enjoying the specific perks of my class (Trickster). It sounded great, but it’s just not how I play a cover shooter, so I need to switch to long/mid-range and give it another go.

Nothing is a sure thing for me this weekend. I’ll probably rotate through one or more of these games throughout the weekend though:

The thought was that by delaying the recast by half a season, it’s a bit less jarring. Also relevant that they’re recasting Kate as a character, but she’s also not the primary lead (well, at least in terms of being Batwoman) anymore.

I’ve heard horror stories from people I’ve worked with that have been in IT or software for decades.

I mean, are we talking spitting on the ground or are these those moments where some asshole is spitting in somebody’s face?

Gotta be turning down all volumes other than voice and then turn that up further if it’s not maxed out by default. Audio mix (in general, not just gaming) is terrible these days and you cannot hear what they’re saying half the time because they’ve got the music so damned loud compared to the dialogue. It’s killing me…

I have only once complained at a fast food restaurant and it was only after they had completely bitched my order three different visits in a row. I didn’t even complain at/to the employee but rather the manager because with three repeat offenses it was clearly an issue at the top rather than individual employees.

My PC delivery got delayed last week, so I’ll be continuing to just push that including playing Fortnite and Minecraft with my son. I’ve got a mini PC coming tomorrow that I intend to set up as a Minecraft server for us and his friends actually, so I’ll probably end up working on setting that up for a while too. If…
