i get why they put the games they did on the zelda game & watch* but it would have been nice to have the oracle games on there. those are the best handheld ones hands down

*why: alttp would have needed more buttons, oracle of ages and seasons would have required licensing from capcom, minish cap would have required more buttons and licensing from capcom, and any other game would have needed far more processing power

The wild Ambaron woman from yesterday, now with a little more detail. Unlike most Ambaron, she leaves her claws sharp and untrimmed; this and her wild mane of hair are sure signs that she doesn't really care about social norms. It works for her, though. Also, expressions are fun to draw on her; I think I've got a good design here.
I don't know her name yet. I'm not sure she trusts me enough to say. But we'll find out in time.

violence mention, in a movie 

what movie was it that had some antagonist character pull out a sword and do all kinds of technical sword dancing to try to intimidate the protagonist, and then the protagonist just pulls out a gun and shoots the guy? was that a monty python movie? or maybe indiana jones?

randomly remembered that for some reason

that's enough stackexchange for one day

someone is getting very upset at us for pointing out that their statement that everything is either a conductor or an insulator glosses over a lot of nuance and really ought to have some kind of qualifier like "to a first approximation"

just getting frustrated and it's not helping our mental state

why does microsoft have some weird setup where each console is backwards compatible, but only with *some* of the previous system's library?

like that has to be an artificial restriction right??
