it has that kind of... mid-20th-century-sci-fi feeling to it

then again, i bet an author like arthur c clarke could have done something fascinating with it

I feel like this has strong potential for a plot to a sci-fi/fantasy thing

the book starts with the realization that astrology works on venus and then goes on to *why* does it work there, using equations worked out by people millennia ago who were definitely on earth at the time... right?

it's not the most fascinating plot out there but it's about on par with some of the cheap paperbacks we've found in the library's used bookshop

What if it turned out that astrology was actually 100% true and predictive but it actually only works if you look at things from the perspective of venus

we should maybe go... actually finish breath of the wild sometime

the game has so much content that actually doing the final boss is kind of... not a thing we want to do yet? but we're *still* avoiding spoilers for the late game and it came out years ago

this "Demo User" person hasn't turned in a *single* assignment for me to grade

Taurs.

chickens?

is it just us or does it bug anyone else that super hydlide isn't a super nintendo game

oh huh, apparently the main reason the game gear was such a battery hog was that it used a ccfl backlight

apparently you can mod a game gear to use an led backlight pretty easily and modded ones have comparable battery life to a game boy (about five times a stock game gear)

It's similarly easy to grade when they don't even try but I don't like that as much because I like people to be actually trying and learning

I like when the students I'm grading get the problems right

that makes it really easy to grade (and also means they're understanding the material, I like when people understand)

when they get it wrong, unless they just don't even try, I have to go back and figure out what exactly they did wrong to figure out partial credit

the PMD remake came out today and we need to get it but money D:

...we also still don't have the link's awakening remake

life tip: if you tell people you'll be back before leaving, you are entirely within your rights to announce your return by saying "Just as it was foretold, I have returned!"

apparently there were a ton of rpgs on the game gear, of all things??

it's amusing to me that shadow the hedgehog 100% speedruns take multiple months to complete
