They did have blue labels though.

Every Zima I’ve seen was clear.

I don’t give a shit if you’re from Long Island, the far tip end of Maine or Danville Virginia, I catch you bitching out a retail worker about how things are done “up north” you’re what we in the South call A Fucking Asshole Who Needs To Go Home.

North Carolinian here: The asshats from New England especially New York who move down here to escape their native climate and/or manmade hellscape and then scream at retail cashiers for not saying thank you are yankees.

We don’t care how you do things up north. If you liked how things are done up north, go up north.

It would unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman!

At text sizes I’m comfortable with, emoji almost always render too small. It’s easy for me to tell :) from :( but 🙂 and 🙁 are yellow circles. To tell them apart I have to lean forward.

Or you get into the noun ones that aren’t facial expressions, people use wrong. There’s an entire group of pictograms but they’re added redundantly to words. So you don’t get “I stuck a 🌵 up my 🍆” you get “I stuck a cactus 🌵 up my dick 🍆” for no reason I can think of.

Combine that with the fact that…I nearly never open the emoji drawer and find an expression that conveys the actual expression I want, and yeah emoji were a mistake.

Ocarina of Time actually has a rich combat move set. You can horizontal slash, vertical slash, thrust, jump slash, spin slash, jump to the side and backflip. Essentially none of that is ever called for.

Very minor enemies are always vulnerable and you can hurt them however whenever. Some moderate enemies are only weak to certain other weapons. Major enemies, to a fault, are completely damage proof until they make an opening by attacking, and then you can damage them however. Wait for the Wolfos, Lizalfos, Dinalfos, Stalfos, Iron Knuckle, at least a couple others, to attack, they’ll have some cooldown animation during which you can attack them. Bosses, from Ghoma to Ganon, require fending off their attacks, stunning with a special weapon, and then slashing with the sword.

In the words of Egoraptor, “There’s so much. Goddamn waiting. In Ocarina.”

They had ideas they couldn’t realize for another decade and a half in 1998. They only realized an actual organic combat system in Breath of the Wild.

Zelda II, the problem with Adventure of Link is it’s unfair. They place enemies in such a way that you’ll go to make a jump, you’ll get hit by an enemy you couldn’t see, and fall down a death pit while stun-locked. You don’t really beat it by getting good at it, you beat it by memorizing all the bullshit.

Recognize my authoritah!

That’s CAPTAIN dry ass to you.

Yeah who is out shopping for sweatpants, takes a pair off the rack and says “fuck yea my ass gonna say Juicy”?

I went to ERAU Daytona, which had basically every kind of living arrangement you can think of except the traditional “bedrooms around a hallway around a communal bathroom” deal you described. Note: I have seen dorms exactly like that, but ERAU didn’t have them.

The closest you’d get was Doolittle hall, which has clusters of four rooms that share one bathroom, several to a hallway. McKay hall looks for all the world like an old motel, the room doors open to the outside world, each room has two beds, two desks and a bathroom in the back. The Student Village had a couple halls where a pair of rooms had a kind of antechamber for closet space with a bathroom in between, Adam and Wood halls. It also had O’Connor hall, where I lived, which featured 4 bedroom, 2 bath apartments with living rooms/kitchenettes, housing 8 men total. Just off of that was Stimpson Hall, where upperclassmen still living on campus lived. Imagine a conjoined studio apartment, is the best way I can describe this; two men lived in two bedrooms sharing a small common area and kitchen. Apollo Hall had just been built and they were filling it up, I never saw the interior of that building.

Weird fact: Unknown Worlds Entertainment licensed the Cyclops name for the submarine in Subnautica from OceanGate.

Yes, as a matter of fact.

I’m aware of some large ships that do that, using either a sterling engine or maybe even a steam engine to put waste engine heat to use.

I have heard of a 6-stroke engine. The idea is, intake compression power exhaust steam exhaust. The four strokes of the Otto or Diesel cycle happen, and then hot high pressure water is injected directly into the cylinder which flashes to steam and expands, pushing the piston, and then another exhaust stroke lets it out. This puts much of the waste heat out through the crankshaft rather than wasting it via radiator. It’s not without its problems though.

The drawing shapes on his chest part. I’ve had a wide variety of women do that. Do billions of women independently invent that or is it taught somewhere?

It’s been entirely too long since there’s been a tarring and feathering in these parts.

Why do they all do that? It has to be a learned behavior, surely? Do they teach it to each other?

The 1903 Flyer was such a shitty airplane that it needed negative density altitude to fly. They flew at Kill Devil Hills, inches above sea level, on a cold December day. They tried to replicate the flight in 2003 on the 100th anniversary, it was warmer, and the plane failed to fly.

I get offers for my S10. I reply “What would you offer the Lone Ranger to buy Silver?”

I still have my 2003 S10. I got one of the last few thousand extended cab S10s made. I haven’t ever driven a Colorado, but…I don’t think there’s a pickup that will do the job of an S10 better than my truck, they’ve all mutated into 6 ton penis enhancement sedans wearing ceremonial miniature cargo boxes.
