Alas, they never seem to want to release the Famicom version on Virtual Console. Though I do plan on tackling the 2nd Quest, which I definitely HAVEN'T beaten before (though ironically I found the 2nd Quest cheat code when I was a kid and didn't even know the main character was Link, not Zelda).
Haha, beat the original "Legend of Zelda" for the first time since, like, college! After all the this time, the original in the NES gold cartridge remains one of the hardest games in the series.
He's very much a "peace is achieved with an iron fist" kind of guy.
It's funny how I have the trailer to "Oliver & Company" permanently burned into my brain from when I was a kid, but I never actually saw the movie until I was an adult.
It's so far removed from "what's good for you" that people literally laugh at the very concept of the government doing anything for anyone. Meanwhile the government bends over backwards for the billionaires and we're told it's for our own good and we'd all die if we tried to change things.
Ho. Ly. SHIT! You absolutely cannot convince me that this was anything but a cover for human trafficking, not with the Epstein-in-Chief at the helm.
Trump is such a goddamn milquetoast he's practically an archetype. I just can't get over the way people try to pretend they don't see it.
I mean there's the obvious fact that he was three sheets to the wind, I mean you don't even need any new information to conclude that the fucker was likely drunk as a skunk on this "rescue mission."
It was basically an issue of miscommunication. Many people assumed these conservatives were simply expressing their fears and concerns over a "new black president." The reality was that they were basically laying out their plan for retribution, though nobody really took that threat as such.
What in the actual FUCK!? I LITERALLY took a "psychology of gender" class in like 2003. People's brains must be leaking out of their ears, I swear. I just... Of all the stupid made-up crap I've heard, this is really up there.
He IS America's health crisis, JFC!
Live your life in such a way that no one ever would ever wonder whether or not your corpse is being propped up "Weekend and Bernie's" style.
I mean, I've always found it funny that historically, the English were so obsessed with the Romans, whereas the Romans seemingly viewed the English as a bunch of backwoods morons.
This is the Kenner Aliens Stinger XT-37, by the way, just realized I posted with ZERO context
Posting this for posterity. The missile launcher had gotten jammed and I was afraid it was broken. Luckily, though my aim is terrible, the launcher itself works fine 😆
me and my inner critic heading off for our day

The Venn diagram is just a circle.
Jasmine Crockett is one Woman I Believe,and I Believe In Her......
I literally don't understand if there's even supposed to be any legitimate justification for his actions beyond, "Break things and let people die." It's not like he's even a good bullshitter, put him on the spot and he start babbling nonsense about "mitochondrial challenges" like he had a stroke.
War for Cybertron: Kingdom Ultra Magnus might have some issues (like his robot hands sticking right out the back of his truck cab), but IMHO still looks super cool, especially with Bumblebee riding along (also a shame that he doesn't have enough space to hold multiple transformers/cars).
Bustin' makes me feel good!
Picture I snapped of this beautiful butterfly!
The Animatrix was awesome! It was like everything I had actually wanted in Matrix sequels, as opposed to what we got.
Whenever I see this photo, I think I’m looking straight at a demon. Talk about cursed images! 👹
Wild that doctors waste a decade on medical school instead of just guessing.
Turns out the secret to endorsing eugenics is to simply not mention the word while you enact pro- eugenics policies. As long as the word itself isn't directly mentioned, apparently you can kill as many people as your heart desires.
The fact that I can't tell whether or not this was done on purpose really carries some chaotic vibes here.
Yeah, I'm totally gonna take health advice from a shambling corpse being piloted by a worm in his brain. This is like the plot of a bad 80s horror movie, I swear!
I mean it makes you wonder how on Earth these people can claim the moral high ground on ANYTHING. Where are these "morals" these people seem to insist we lack? Against abortion but not against mothers dying in labor? Against school shootings but not against guns? That is some bull-SHIT!
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Does anyone deny that he's a Russian asset in good faith? Is there anyone who would defend him who isn't a Russian asset themselves? This BS is as clear as Crystal Pepsi, but it seems that every last person in any position of federal power has let us down and steamrolled the way for this to happen.
Unfortunately, the lesson the Democrats have taken is, "Stop warning people, fascism is a controversial and unpopular topic, let's stick with the price of eggs."
You know, if we just checked these people's search histories, we could arrest them all for being pedos and prevent them from pushing this "child marriage" filth.
I just don't understand why anyone allows this man to speak in public. It should literally be a crime to spread harmful health misinformation. Like, maybe I'm being controversial here, but I want this fucker to serve jail time for what he's doing to America.
I'm practically expecting that one day a reporter is going to ask him, "Sir, what actions are you taking to stop violent crime?" And he's gonna respond by shooting the reporter and saying, "Does anyone else have any stupid questions?"
AI slop is trying to convince you the past is a place of grace and virtue ... and that's a lie! Now public! Like and sub and share and all those good things!
Y'ALL I HAVE A NEW NAME FOR HIM - DER FURZER, "THE FARTER!"
I mean I definitely get it, I think we all want there to be a totally peaceful and nonviolent way forward, and that would be super awesome and is a good thing to work toward, it's just... You know, at the end of the day, at a certain point, nonviolence can become an untenable solution.
He's the kind of guy you imagine has a potential built-in defense system, such as excreting an oily substance all over his body and slipping out of his clothing. Ain't nobody wanna be grabbing that.
Oh, yinks! I mean, YIKES! WTF!?
Fucking DEMOCRATS acted all shocked and outraged like she'd gone too far when she brought up Project 2025! "Oh no no no, you can't accuse your political opponents of this, it's cheap sensationalism designed to distract you from their REAL agenda!" Fucking idiots! Or traitors, not sure which.
Feels like the whole effing world is set up to protect these goddamn pedophiles. I've really lost faith that anyone in Washington DOESN'T have skeletons in their closet, the way they've bent over backwards to defend a child rapist, to the point of questioning whether it's even immoral at all!
"I was all for deportation until they busted my lawn guys and I realized I'd have to buy a mower."
I just... It breaks my brain that people can create an entire ideology centered around kiddie-diddling, and it further breaks my brain that such ideologies get considered as being mainstream enough to be worthy of debate, as opposed to being a reason to check these creeps' online activities.
Aged like a carton of milk left behind a radiator.
He's a pedophile and a rapist. Just... He's a pedophile rapist! I don't flipping get it! We have a government run by a pedophile rapist, and it's just... Nobody is taking any action against the pedophile rapist! You literally couldn't INVENT a more evil person! But yet... It's like no one cares.
Jesus.... I mean I've never heard of the dude, so I had no idea beyond the fact that his vibe seemed so off, but clearly the vibe tracks.
I remember a psychology professor once saying that the easiest way to test if someone is a narcissist is to simply ask, "Are you a narcissist?" because narcissists are so self-obsessed that they don't see narcissism as a negative trait and therefore tend not to lie about it.
Aye... Um... Okay... So, um, when a person invents words like that, it kinda, sorta, maybe makes me start to wonder if this man is, um, having inappropriate thoughts about this teenager. REALLY has an uncomfortable vibe to it.
I mean yeah, it absolutely tracks with what we know... He couldn't get in with the American mob, and this was Russia's in with Trump - "You don't need them, come join our mob instead!" Though it's still pretty damn funny to hear it out loud.
Man, growing up is realizing that people who report alien encounters always describe the aliens as telepathic, not because telepathy is cool, but because that way you NEVER have to say what the alien's voice sounded like.
The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is planning to use the US military to invade US cities that vote Democratic because, in addition to raping children, two things that animate him most are rectifying narcissistic injury and hating Black people. Call your reps 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump
Our country is being held hostage because it turns out the government is full of pedos, AND NOBODY WITH ANY AUTHORITY WILL TREAT THEM LIKE THE PEDOS THEY ARE! This is pure insanity! How the f*** hasn't this created more outrage!
Feel like the biggest problem is that the whole affair is treated as, "He's misguided but trying to address a real issue," as opposed to, "He's creating cover for genocide."
I can respect someone who tries to fight and fails. I cannot respect anyone who's too chickenshit to even TRY to fight. This is so deeply shameful, especially given the stakes.
Literally, I could personally organize a speech with more than eight guests, and I'm just a Strong Badiophage.
Just imagining a bunch of cave-business-executives, after the discovery of fire, being like, "We need to use fire for EVERYTHING! What about using fire to cut your hair? Or as a security fence? What CAN'T fire do? We're gonna put this fire in every hut in the village!" *cut to village burning down*
It wasn't masking they had a problem with - it was doing something to save lives that really fucking bothered them. I'm dead serious. The whole "war on masking" was really a reaction to their secret hopes that the virus would wipe out vulnerable populations for them.
Trump's greatest contribution has been to the delusion that all you need to do to win an argument is to be the loudest person in the room.
It's kinda like, if a single cell in your body tried to tell you that it needed something, would you even be aware that single cell exists? It's not that you don't care about that cell, but it's one of trillions.
My sister got me this pretty cool looking puzzle box for my birthday! No idea if I'll ever be about to solve it, but if Hellraiser is anything to go by, that's probably for the best 😆
Dang it, I'm not a very hoopy frood, totally forgot.
I just feel like we need to remember that while we may find the idea of jailing people who disagree with us abhorrent, that's something Trump voters actually support. So it's very hard to get those people to see the danger of their own position.
Oh we are well past the "But it could happen to me," stage, nothing but zealots and people too chickenshit to stand for anything at this point.
Right Winger Vision
Imagine? Has this dude been in a coma for the past 20 years?
Now that's what you call greasy money!
Republicans are like anime characters who have to loudly declare every attack. "I cast 'STOP THE STEAL!' All your votes are now mine!"
Stephen Miller hates the world because the world hates Stephen Miller. He has no friends. To borrow a phrase from "Wayne's World," if Stephen Miller were an ice cream flavor, he'd be prailines and dick.
I mean, the "sea of cars with one driver" didn't just happen, to be fair. The auto industry lobbied to gut public transportation and plow through entire (often minority) neighborhoods to build freeways and encourage people to buy more cars.
Woohoo, I'm 42 today, which as fans of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" are aware, is the answer to life, the universe, and everything! Unfortunately, I'm no closer to understanding life, the universe, or anything, really.
Hoo boy, there's "Travel faster than the speed of light" impossible, there's "Catch that fart and paint it green" impossible, and then there's "Donald Trump going to heaven" impossible - just completely confounding at every possible angle.
Believing Republicans wouldn't be back on their bullshit borders on mental illness. There's no justifiable rationale for anyone to have believed such nonsense.
Wasn't Khan, it was the Sherlock Holmes character, Moriarty, who had accidentally been given sentience by Data. They tricked him with a holodeck recreation of the Enterprise, letting him believe it was the real thing. Sorry, I'm a big Star Trek nerd and just had to point that out.
That's what I've been saying, at the rate things are going, at a certain point they'll just start saying that pedophilia itself isn't even wrong.
Hakuna matata... What a wonderful phrase.
It says something about our current times that Ms. Rachel, of all people, is being called evil for wanting to help starving children, of all things. Absolutely, utterly wild, meanwhile on the Epstein front (you know, the guy who actually devoted his life to hurting children), crickets.
Transformers time, this time it's my favorite cassette bot, Rumble, riding on the Junkion Crashbar, with guns blazing.
Or as Gowron refers to them, "pieces of glory."
It's almost like they think literally causing people to die makes him personally responsible for their deaths! It's insane!
They're paid good money to be purposely obtuse.
DO NOT COMPLY: Be the sand in the gears of authoritarianism noncompliant.fun
It should've been obvious since Bush Jr.'s "truthiness" that lying is, itself, the primary "value" that the Republican party upholds.
That's literally the most Milquetoast reason to not buckle up I've ever heard in my life.
Fascist as all fuck.
Do you think that somewhere out there, a plumber is currently going insane because at every job he takes, no matter how big or small, somebody at some point says, "Come quick, there's a leek in the sink!" and it turns out to be a vegetable-based pun EVERY SINGLE TIME?
I kinda get the feeling that "confirming the status quo is fixed and unchangeable" is kind of the underlying goal here.
I'm just saying, there were enough evil things in the world already BEFORE somebody had the bright idea of combining Nazis with pedophiles.
Why the FUCK would ANYONE call it Leningrad?
