you know, there are a surprising number of things that are just normal British things that we thought were just things JK Rowling made up for the wizarding world

The grocery store had these really good dark chocolate mint truffles on clearance and...... I _may_ have purchased an irresponsible amount of chocolate

we will probably give some of them to coworkers and stuff so it's not like we're going to just eat an absurd amount of chocolate but still.

runner: "if everything goes wrong, this run could be 38, 39 minutes"

video title: "[...] in 44:15"

(it's Irish, an the correct pronunciation is something closer to "cleave sollush")

Watching the Aria of Sorrow run and the commentator keeps pronouncing "claiomh solais" as "claim so-lays" and augh

@Draekos could I ask what VC is in the context of your last few posts?

why did atari's early consoles get numbers in increments of 2600 anyway? the 2600 was followed by the 5200 and the 7800, which are just 2600*2 and 2600*3

If you think about it, spoons are basically MP.

this game continues to be weird: after replaying an earlier part of the game to get secrets I couldn't get the first time through, I randomly got teleported to a completely different map, with no fanfare at all, nowhere near the map's normal entry points, stuck inside a tree with no visuals at all until I entered first-person mode

it wasn't like, as I exited the other area either, it was a good fifteen or thirty seconds afterward

well I found the character: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/831341/ (the one in front)

I know there were other pictures but I can't find them

every now and then I remember this one character someone had who was a gargoyle enby with lots of multi-stuff and >.>

they were hot >.>

what kind of game design is this where no one can figure out how to complete 12% of the game

read in a game walkthrough:

"You'll probably finish the game with 88%. This is normal. No one has
figured out how to get the other 12%."

People talk about games as art pretty often, and I've realized there are at least two types of that--I'm sure there are more, but there are at least:

Games as visual art, such as Ōkami or Breath of the Wild
Games as literary art, such as Suikoden 2 or Final Fantasy X

Possibly also a third type, of games where the artistry is in how smooth and natural the gameplay feels (Super Mario Odyssey may be a good recent example of this)
