the bus that is supposed to leave every twenty minutes just skipped an entire round of the route so we were sitting in the bus for about half an hour

and right next to us was someone with *extremely* strong perfume

and something's gone wrong with our phone so the music we usually use to calm down kept skipping around, stopping and starting and going back and forth tracks

aaaaaaaaaaaa.

I hate feeling trapped.

yes i did just go through all the things in the currency block of the windows character map

I left out ₠ because I don't know if that was ever actually used

why are most money symbols just Latin script letters with lines through them

$ is S+|, £ is L+—, € is C+=, ¥ is Y+=, ₩ is W+=, ¢ is c+|, ฿ is B+|, ₡ is C+//, ₣ is F+—, ₤ is L+=, ₥ is m+/, ₫ is d+—+_, ₦ is N+=

there only seem to be a few that aren't, ₪ ₨ ₧ ₢

those are even still based on Latin letters except for ₪

*takes a bite out of the concept of gender*

I feel like there should be academic interest in classic video games just like there is in classic literature and classic films

maybe there is! i don't know. but i'd like to see it.

The reason Link got the triforce of courage is because he walks faster backward than forwards. Have you ever tried that? That takes a *lot* of courage.

fun fact I was just reminded of: intel's pentium processor line was named pentium because of a legal ruling that you couldn't trademark a number. It was going to be called the 586, as the successor to the 8086/(80)186/(80)286/(80)386/(80)486 naming scheme they'd used previously.

ocarina of time speedruns are wild

in a three hour run, waking up talon at the 2:20 mark, after already having 100 gold skulltulas and all six medallions

it's kind of interesting how there are words that have meanings outside video games but different meanings in the context of video games

like inventory; you wouldn't seriously talk about "having something in your inventory" outside the context of video games or tabletop games

or boss

or multiple meanings of "level"

consider: lasagna

it's wild to think of how small these games are and how large they would be if made today

Super Mario 64 was on an 8 megabyte cartridge

All of Ocarina of Time? fits in a 32 megabyte cart

Resident Evil 2? less than 64 megabytes

My answer to this, by the way, would be Tenochtitlan, though it's not a current name for a place. Largely for the not-too-interesting reason that I just really like how Nahuatl sounds, it's a very good language
