I still don’t understand where Pac Land fits in relative to Pac Mania, and wish Namco would clarify things.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, these abbreviations didn’t even exist, much less any debate about how to pronounce them.

Same problem. The current tally is around 60. My wishlist has 20 or 30 more, and I basically just check it for sales on a weekly basis.

Can you write a program that will pull the stick out of your ass?

That’s the whole point of retirement accounts being tax-advantaged.
