    I read that the specs of the NES and Game Boy are comparable. If that's the case, would it have been possible to port Link's Awakening on NES? What about Pokemon? I know there's likely a good reason there can't be; I just don't know what it is.

    I never once threw a fit about its graphical style before it came out, then smugly watched as all the rage suddenly vanished when it did come out and get rave reviews.

    The leitmotifs in Link's Awakening are among the series's best. The first BGM before finding the sword, the overworld theme, the exceptionally wistful Ballad of the Wind Fish itself. And of these, only the second seems to get any esteem after the fact in the form of a Super Smash Bros. remix.

    I'm not so sure. There's clean-shaven people out there who fit this description.

    Try getting into Dogecoin or something similar. It has all the benefits and drawbacks of literally every other cryptocurrency out there, except the arrogance is replaced with fangless meme fountains.

    Is there a clinical umbrella term for those people that also includes fedora-wearers who are also subscribers of a certain mindset about how to attract women through manipulative language?

    Pac-Man 2 was weird because it brought to question whether Pac-Man was actually an adult, despite being married with a child.

    I might have. It's too cold to sleep in without a heater, at least.

    The point is that it's really cold and it didn't bother us like it usually does.

    Some people are understandably upset over the lack of online play in this game, but I'm not too hung up over it. I played this game with my brother and sister in my 20 degree C room and for over an hour we kept shouting at each other trying desperately to look like a cohesive unit to observers who weren't there.
