Maybe you should let people respond and not make assumptions yeah?

sometimes assumptions are fair; that was one of those times

Got 30/36, but mostly because it was multiple choice.  It's so much easier to see what they're going for as a test when they give you options

that's true, especially when they give you three options that are obviously wrong

looks like i'm not autistic after all

pfft we all know the debates don't actually mean anything beyond the spectacle

you think so?

i personally found myself quite swayed by trump's rhetoric this time around, and i think he's managed to secure my vote

Unfortunately, this seems to be a recurring strategy for Nintendo as of late, and it's really pissing me off.

Recently, to celebrate Mario's 35th anniversary, Nintendo dropped Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection of three remastered 3D Mario games (64, Sunshine, and Galaxy) as well as Super Mario Bros. 35, a free-to-play (as long as you're subscribed to NSO) version of the original Super Mario Bros. that's been retooled into a competitive multiplayer battle royale, similar to Tetris 99, where 35 concurrent players try to outlast each other in the classic game. However, due to this apparent new marketing strategy that Nintendo has begun to employ for any sort of rerelease of their retro back catalogue, these games will only be available until the end of March next year.

In other words, you have until April 2021 to purchase 3D All-Stars for your personal collection until you won't find it in stores anymore. As for Mario 35, because this game is exclusively digital, the game will simply poof out of existence, so that nobody will get to play it anymore. This is fucking AIDS for obvious reasons, and the trend does seem to be continuing for this Fire Emblem localization, coming out on December 4.

To be positive for a sec, the fact that they're localizing this game at all is pretty damn cool for a retro gamer such as myself, and for someone who's never really cared about the Mother series, you could actually say that this game is like my Mother 3. It's that exciting for me, because I've been waiting SO LONG to play the original Fire Emblem game in a language that I can understand. I just kind of hate knowing that I'll inevitably be forced to challenge my own principles with this one, because my inevitable purchase of this localization will inevitably feed into this new anti-consumer practice that Nintendo has adopted for their retro games. Kinda makes me sick, and sours what is otherwise fairly exciting news for Fire Emblem fans and fans of old-ass games alike.

Still teaching, but I‘m hoping to at least be doing a few physics classes considering that’s what my certification is in. I love teaching ninth grade science, but I want to do more advanced material a lot of the time.

My school has offered astronomy classes as electives before, but COVID kind of strangulated the range of things we can teach. But I think I’ll be able to put that together in the next few years.

You're a teacher?
How old are you

he's younger than me, so if he's more than a tutor or some shit, that's kind of shocking

it wouldn't actually be the first time he's exaggerated his accomplishments

He is thick, boy. Damn, he is kind of thick, though. What the fuck?

fixed your grammar for you, you're welcome

What measures are we looking at this time around?

MI's only got two, both of which are easy and boring:

Prop 1: This measure would establish the Michigan natural resources trust fund and would change the ways in which revenue in the state's park-related funds can be spent, including allowing for spending on: (A) capital improvements at Michigan state parks; (B) operations and maintenance at Michigan state parks; (C) acquisition of land or rights in land for Michigan state parks. [yes]

Prop 2: The ballot measure would add language to the Michigan State Constitution that requires a search warrant to access electronic data or electronic communications. The ballot measure would also state that electronic data and electronic communications are secure from unreasonable searches and seizures. [yes]

meanwhile, states like MA are getting to vote on cool stuff like IRV and shit. no fair

I've always found these tests kind of silly

regardless, it's activity—do you feel like they missed the mark on your results?

wasnt totally sure on some of the questions, since how I think I am and how others see I am are different

Also I think one way but usually end up doing the opposite

Yeah, that was something people have found weird about me, how I think one way that's drastically different than how I act in person. I find the serotonin thin weird, too, because it's not like I'm good at planning things, I just dwell on the future a lot and all the different ways things can play out, which leads to a lot of indecision up until the last minute, which drives my nuts

That's the problem with these sorts of tests, a lot of times the answers don't really mean much because it varies depending on how you interpret it.

You clearly know that there is something wrong with the test if it says that Verb is kind and empathetic

well, i'm extremely kind to those who i think deserve it, and to be honest, "empathetic" is one of those words that i think perfectly describes me—i've just been known to weaponize it

if i've ever chosen to say something hurtful to somebody, it's not because i don't realize how hurtful it is—it's because i know precisely how hurtful it is; a sociopath/someone without empathy wouldn't be cognizant of that

the two words used to justify each section are obviously broad generalizations anyway—my low dopamine rating has more to do with the fact that nothing in life really makes me happy these days, more than it means that i'm uncreative

you can say the test is silly, but based on what i know about all of you guys, i wouldn't say anyone's results have been totally inaccurate so far—my results in particular sort of corroborate my feelings of being "agendered" or w/e (not that i would ever use such a label to describe myself, but still)

suddenly glad i've never learned hardly anything about history, if this is how i would've sounded

i don't like putting a deadline to these things

there are only a few things i want to accomplish in life, and if they don't happen within the next five years, that's okay

Dad came through on those N64 games, so I can cross one of these off now:



- Castlevania (fucking finally)
- Mortal Kombat Trilogy
- Tetrisphere
- Rat Attack!

as well as an Advanced D&D game for NES called Pool of Radiance, which i believe is the first one out of four

Mortal Kombat Trilogy is also cool, because it's among the first eight games released in the first year of the system's life in the US. These games include Mario 64, Pilotwings 64, Wave Race 64, Killer Instinct Gold, Cruis'n USA, and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. I have all of these games except for one now: Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, which should be easy enough to find. Overall, this brings my total to 56% of the library.

so what the hell is SMT4: Apocalypse in relation to SMT4, anyway
