It's disappointing, in a way, that Disney's Hercules has Hades as the villain. I know why they did it; the major modern religions tend to associate the underworld with evil. But still, Hades was probably the most pleasant person out of the Greco-Roman pantheon. Everyone else was a jerk, self-obsessed, or just straight up a serial rapist, but Hades seems like an actually thoughtful and kind person.

What is it about the games Rogue, Doom, and Diablo that got whole genres named after them? Doom-likes later came to be known as FPSs, but still, we never had a "Final Fantasy-like" or "Mario-like" genre. And both of those are unquestionably influential games!

@monorail Giving students a limited number of free late days is such a good idea that I don't know why we haven't seen it before.

@monorail Unless they're also winged, in which case they take 4x damage, right?

@Trinket How cute! You should definitely show this to Felthry.

@esp@sleeping.town Felthry may not have wanted it, but I just started playing the first Kingdom Hearts and I might want that plot summary. Do you have ones for individual games, or just for the full series?

@daylight Advance Wars is like Fire Emblem, isn't it? I do like that style of gameplay. And the cute bats are a bonus.

@chr@cybre.space I'm curious to see what happens with this. Let us know if it gets a response.

@starkatt We had heard of that, but had forgotten.

I think it would be very difficult to fake a millennium of events, though. Especially because it would require a worldwide conspiracy to have happened before there was much worldwide communication.

Humanity has somehow managed to count up to 2019. That doesn't sound too impressive, but have you ever tried to count thousands of things without losing count even once? Try counting the number of grains of rice in your bowl next time you have a rice dish.

re: cursed food 

@monorail Probably not all that much, actually. It certainly doesn't sound like a pleasant experience, but it can't be that bad, can it?

@typhlosion I suppose at this point it's good evening, though!

@typhlosion Oh dear, that was supposed to say good morning. I think our keyboard's d key is dropping inputs lately.

Statistics is hard enough before you get into quantum statistics, and then the concept of indistinguishable particles just throws conventional statistics out the window.
