Knowing how it’s pronounced is important in general discussion as “X” will sound like completely different things depending on the property and meaning.

On an alternate timeline, Bawls won the energy drink wars. Bush was defeated in a landslide. 9/11 was thwarted by one guarana-infused bostonite. Musk is still bald. Chinese and American leaders toast the "The Century Of Mutual Prosperity" with a chilled Bawls. It is also called the "Bawls Peace".

financial advice in a weird time:

-- develop a plan
-- find friends who support you
-- preferably 10 of them
-- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand
-- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos
-- get your wife back
-- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw

simple

New Hampshire's about to be the only place in the US to experience a tourism boom this year

Personasama @persona.bsky.social · Apr 3

Whoa, huge news for video game preservationists, diehard Namco fans, and people who live in New Hampshire!! www.reddit.com/r/cade/comme...

Reddit thread with text that reads:

I'm Happy to Report that after ~10 years of sitting broken, the Super Deluxe Galaxian3 Theater Arcade Machine in the USA has been repaired and returned to working order! It's back in service.

Hello All,

I'm absolutely delighted to report that after roughly 10 years of sitting broken and unused, the Super Deluxe Galaxian3 Theater 6 player Arcade Machine has been repaired and returned to service.

The location of the machine is at Fun world arcade in Nashua, New Hampshire.

I've been told by several arcade visitors in the area that the machine is miraculously running again.

Proof: https://imgur.com/a/v6Oje5h

For those who don't know, there is only one Galaxian3 machines left in the entire United States of America (Not counting any machines sitting in private collections and storage). Only maybe 2 or 3 left in the whole world.

I don't know what kind of temporary fix or repair was done to get this ancient goliath of a machine running again. But if you want the chance to play an EXTREMELY Rare arcade machine, then visit Fun World at Nashua NH while you can! .

I've been told by some arcade fans in the area that the machine has been running the past few days, but has broken down a few time and fixed back to running order a few times this week. So who knows how long the repair job will hold together?

Play it while you can!

This is actually a massive update that I think you guys should highlight more. It effectively incorporates the director's cut mod into the game. Maybe you guys should shout out the dev that made that mod (I'm pretty sure they're an actual developer at remedy.)
