Pretty sure they're just incredibly sharp. The Japanese like to sharpen things.

I've got it up and running in Yuzu with prod.keys 18.0. At least I watched the opening cinematic. Not that interested in playing. Just seeing if it was true.

I moved to a smaller city in South Korea in 2004 to teach English. A short while after I got there, I met a couple who were from a small town down the road from the small town I grew up in in Eastern Canada. Apparently we even went to the same small university (3000 students total) together and I somehow managed to never see them there.

Nope. And I remember a time when there weren't any ads. Or images for that matter. And I had to run software in DOS. Things are definitely both better and worse, now.

I drove my daughter to ballet class for the glory of the empire!

Haha! I worked for a contract cleaning crew for some time. Turnover was very high since the hours and wages sucked. The only people who hung around long enough to become managers were eminently unfit to be managers. Seems like managers are destined to suck for a large number of reasons.

In? In the Gravitron I rode, it was just sleds on the slightly-slanted walls that went up when it got up enough speed. There wasn't really anywhere to fall into. I mean yeah, he could easily break an arm or something, but nothing that would splatter him.

I bounced off Crosscode hard. Which sucks because I wanted to love it. The pacing and difficulty were all over the place. And making the puzzle dungeons a race between you and other characters just made me hate them. I want to stop and think! After dying to a particularly nasty boss I was trying to beat as fast as possible so I could maybe eke out a win in the dungeon, I ended up cranking the difficulty all the way down, and was the last out of the dungeon anyway. I put the game down and haven't looked back. That was about 25 hours in, and nothing of consequence had occurred with the plot by then, anyway. I might go back sometime and see if it gets better, but it left me pretty sour.

I love the entire 16 bit era, and JRPGs, and action RPGs, and Crono Trigger, and difficult games, but Crosscode just took all those elements and somehow made them unpalatable to me.

They're not quite as terrible as their reputation. Yeah, they've definitely got some of the worst episodes of Trek ever, but there are good ones in there, too.

I'm re-watching DS9 for the third time or something, but I've never seen anything released after Voyager except for the Abrams movie travesties. Am I still a Trekkie?

I ordered a "boutique", made-in-Canada guitar pedal off a website here in Korea. I'd ordered a few things from the same place before without issue. This time, the guy jerked me around for two years with all kinds of promises. I called the cops when he stopped communicating and the website disappeared. The police found him, and I got an apology over the phone, and that was it. It hardly seemed worth taking him to small claims court over $300. I ordered it from somewhere else and it showed up in a week.

On the flip side, when a particularly stubborn one finally goes away, it's such a huge relief. It's pure joy to just not be in pain.
