The ultimate validation.
I still think of this sample regularly!

Wouldn’t be a prime game without it!

Öoo looks fun! I haven’t seen that before. Also gotta give Pipistrello a chance. It looks better each time I look at screenshots! I always mix it up with Penny’s Big Breakaway.

Having save states is a huge plus, i’d almost recommend playing roms over carts now!
Having legit hardware on a CRT is rad for a couple hours, then you just want to save your game and come back later, but can’t!

My choice to have a kid came more from financial/job stability and space in the apartment. Finding a stable partner is important too, but that without the others just means a happy marriage without kids.

I just can’t get on board with the graphics of ix. Anything remotely chibi is a no for me! Same with ffiv remake, i can only play the og.

I love when actually really good artists have to try and draw poorly for the story.

It’s almost like they trusted actors and writers to do their jobs!

I wonder who did this style of fps dungeon first? Ultima?
Btw, have you played UFO50? There’s a game called Valbrace that’s a lot like this and it’s awesome!

It comes from our parents, friends, or educators. It gets internalized and the critic puts so much pressure on us to be perfect that if we make a mistake we feel shame in the pit of our stomach. It’s correlated with self-esteem and self-efficacy. Someone confident, like you, can embrace mistakes. <3

Well, at least we know he wont live much longer on a diet like that.

Sorry, this looks a lot like it was AI gnerated. Where did you find the photo? Juno has been taking pictures of Jupiter since 2016, and I can’t find this in it’s archives. Thanks.
Here’s a legit photo of Jupiter for ref:

Omg, this was one of the PC games I remember the most, but almost everyone forgets! There were so many interesting mechanics to it that were never used again. Like limited troops for your whole campaign is a really clever idea! And giving them all names makes you more attached!

Oh you’re the Laura from Eggplant! Awesome.

I’m so scared of the day. I find myself near tears when I think about it!

Aww, lil guys wants some play time!

Hmm, I see, the furthest observable galaxy is 13.5, but the estimate of the scale due to expansion is 46bil LY!

But isn’t the reason we can only see 13.5 billion light years away because the Universe is 13.8 billion years old?Well, i guess if distant galaxies are far enough away the redshift is so shifted the light basically stands still. Maybe it’s not expanding, and dark matter just decelerating the light?

Hell yeah, i had Ultima Exodus on NES, and didn’t play Dragon Quest till much later. That and Final Fantasy were all very similarly a fantasticly imaginative and frustratingly difficult experience for kids in the 80’s!
