It's a trick. He has one life left. Mario only dies permanently after he dies at x0.

Playing through Baldur's Gate 3 now, and I see what they did. It's sex up front. Within the first couple of hours you're boinking your interest. It's not until act III - potentially dozens of hours later - when you get to the actual romance part of the relationship. It's an interesting take. At least with the couple of romance plots I've seen.

Ahh, I went on a rant about this, and someone already did it for me much more concisely.

It was pretty bad. He missed a lot of school. I think he ended up repeating grade six. I never saw him much after that, but I did hear that he got married to another person I went to school with eventually, so presumably his life wasn't ruined or anything.

I've been a hobbyist musician for the past twenty-something years. I got up the courage to release everything on Distrokid a couple years back. I've gotten 11 million listens! Which gets me about $40, but who gives a shit? People actually listen to my music. And not just the poppier stuff, some of my more popular tracks are the outre noise experiments. I thought I didn't care about that until it happened.

This could make for some hilarious, alternate history satire or something. I could totally see Key and Peele heading a group of racially diverse nazis ironically preaching racial purity and attempting to take over the world.

Do critical critics exist anymore? I feel like I haven't seen a good pan in ages. Maybe when Cats came out, but everyone dog piled that one.

Then there's Dark Souls 2 where very early in the game there's a coffin that gives you the option to enter. Do so, and you come out the opposite sex you were when you went in.

He was also super into bullfighting. i.e. torturing animals to death for kicks. Aside from his artistic contributions, he had very few redeeming qualities. I read a biography of him a number of years back, and I mostly remember it being appalling.

Betting houses are offering .5 to 1 odds he wins. Halve your money with one smart bet!

I love how Bing Image Creator made me sign in before it told me that it couldn't do it because it's too busy. Fucking Internet.

I eventually got it, and it's pretty cool, but I have no idea how to upload images here. At least it says my image is too big even compressed into a 57kb jpeg.

Being young.
