Yes, that’s what I’m referring to.

Game Genie, the only way I was able to beat Link. That freaking road to the last castle, brutal.

Yeah. I mean, norovirus doesn’t actually require medical treatment, so a person with that is not going to get timely attention at the ER.

Why don’t you hold your breath and find out?

I currently tip 85%, but I’m concerned it may not be enough.

Right?? Bizarre to me that anyone would think these are real questions.

Yeah. Even the first movie used parsecs a measure of time rather than distance, yet the nitpickers somehow find a way to live with that/pretend it wasn’t a mistake.

I do that too, when sufficiently pissed. And it’s very satisfying.

I hadn’t even realized his absence from the show was permanent—I assumed he was off filming a movie or something.

Honestly, the first time it really hit me as being a shameless attempt at exploitation was at the end of season seven, when they brought out the childhood pictures of the contestants and asked what they’d tell their younger selves, which seemed entirely geared to get Pearl to talk about possible abuse.

Yep. I fucking hated RotJ when it came out (still dislike it), but I didn’t spend the next year whining about it to my friends and sending George Lucas hate mail saying he had ruined my childhood. And I was actually a child at the time.

She lost her planet pretty early in the film, so she was the princess of exactly nothing after that.
