Mario for the SNES. First game I played that I owned, Pokémon Yellow or Super Mario 64

Don’t worry everyone. Blue is exactly the same as green, but colored differently. As someone in the blue, friends with green.

A 17 year old and an 18 year old are only a year apart in maturity. It’s essentially comparable to a 17 and 16 year old. 2 years apart starts to get gray as far as morality goes. I’m against 16 and 19, but i can imagine extremely remote cases where it might be acceptable, but that is stretching my objective capabilities. 16 and 20 is too far. As you get closer to 25 and the brain is fully developed, the margins get wider.

For instance, 18 and 22? That goes back to stretching it. 19 and 23? Back to morally Grey. 20 and 24? Fine.

Ephebophelia definitions are meant to cast a wide net to protect as many people as possible. Just get over it for societies greater good.

Confirmed good boy.

Dope af stuff Felix and Mickey, Noir Buddy Cop stuff? Excited.

New fears? New to him? Not New to anyone paying attention.

If it was one kid? I’d have doubts. Once it passed into double digits? Nope.

I once took an acquaintance’s, that I no longer have any contact with, math final in college. She had been out of school for 6 weeks taking care of sick relatives, but she was late on submitting paperwork for an incomplete.

My payment? A 3 Musketeers. Worth it.

I wish I could be surprised. Both him and his successor were a little too happy dropping bombs on Muslims for me to be actually surprised.

Yeah… heavy sarcasm I’m loving the two terrorist groups slugging at each other right now. So good.

Nah, I find being a humanitarian feels better and offers to help more people than conservatism.

You right, thiugh.

Well, I’ve had to remove multiple people that used to just be right leaning for outright fascist statements and ideas in the last few months as they’ve deteriorated into hate speech and ethnic cleansing…so while I grew up conservative…yeah, I can’t support that shit.

Democrats are a mild improvement at best but at least they aren’t constantly being approved of by the KKK and being touted by mass shooters.

I’d like a proper left-leaning candidate, but with America’s history. They’ll end up assassinated.

Average peasant has 4 hp. Max average strike of a dagger does 4 damage. Even if it doesn’t strike a vital area, if you get a full, solid, clean hit with that blade, they dead.

If you crit, i.e. hit a vital spot. They definitely dead and the 8inch blade might even take out a tougher boy.

Damage is supposed to imply how effective the strike is on a hit. A 1 is a decent slice or puncture. Possible stitches, not guaranteed. 2 damage? That’s a good shank. Stitches recommended, gonna need some medical attention, picture getting stabbed in the hand or getting a slice across the arm or leg. 3 damage? That person is WOUNDED they won’t keep fighting if it isn’t life or death picture a meaty stab to the bicep or shoulder or side, nowhere critical, but you know you can’t take another hit. And 4 is death.

Throat, chunk of their face, wrist/forearm, thighs, belly, etc.

Don’t underestimate shock and bloodless. That’s just your average joe.The strongest recorded bite could crush through your arm. A barbarian can bite through a peasants arm. Rule of cool.

I could see this as being fake, but I believe it is equally likely to be real. 11th hour, slightly buzzed or worse, character is hanging by a thread and you want to stretch every rule to infinity and beyond? I have seen some ahem interesting…examples to “validate” a rules “extension”. Chainmail belts, blowdarts, contained arson, to name the standouts. Just biting someone hard enough to need stitches? Easily possible.

Late Stage Capitalism: Poverty is worse than anytime after slavery, wealthy people have never been wealthier, police brutality is at the highest since slavery, workers rights are trending back towards the second Industrial Revolution, politics recognizes corporations as people (thus robbing those who cannot compete with billions upon billions of dollars), civil rights are receding, basic necessities are becoming scarce, the environment itself is being poisoned for profit, etc.

He did literally have a team of lawyers and fellow Republicans trying to help with the lazy coup, but he still could have put in a lot more effort.

/sarcasm/Good news, in 2024 it looks like he’ll get another chance!/sarcasm/

Yes, those ceasefires! The ones that let non-combatants escape, aid to reach the dead and dying, humanitarian efforts to make headway even if only for a short time.

Undertale: You’ve progressed through most of the game. You didn’t strike out at the monsters. You’ve done everything you could to avoid hurting those around you and yet strive for escape. Over and over You’ve been put up against a wall with your enemies striving to end you. You could fight back, you could react to this world of monsters and become like them, a monster.

But you didn’t. You stand before a mirror in a house very similar to the one you were in at the start of the game. Looking into the mirror, you are affirmed.

“Despite everything. It’s still you.”

Despite everything I’ve gone through. Despite the hunger and gnawing to give in. To respond to the hatred and harm that has been inflicted on me with fury and bloodlust equal to the twisted delight others have taken in my suffering. I didn’t give in. I didn’t lose my joy in making others smile. I didn’t give up my interests and the rare and disparate moments of joy.

Despite everything. It’s still me. I’m still here. I’m not a monster.
