Today is Father's Day over here, but one of his coworkers tested positive for COVID and a couple others had flu-like symptoms. He's fine... so far. So yeah, plans have been moved to next Sunday... if things hold up. Aw man... Zoinks. Hopefully he'll be OK for then... --- We celebrated Father's Day yesterday, 'cause my parents are headed to Vancouver for a funeral today and tomorrow. I guess it works out, though, since it's really rainy out today, while yesterday was a bluebird day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rubenio Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I cannot be a true Spaniard until I beat Maldita Castilla. It has been years coming. I've owned this game for 8 years. You know Ghost n' Goblins, the classic poster boy of shitty, unfair NES difficulty? This is a tribute to that - by which I mean, it's that but better and Spanish. Very Spanish. I haven't played it that often. I only had a little over 10 hours registered before I started playing a couple days ago. It's the kind of game I remember randomly every couple of years, give a few tries, then lose interest because I suck too hard. With TF2's bot situation currently being, that I've seen, at its worst ever (gee it's almost like organizing a worldwide campaign to feed the troll was never going to accomplish anything but make it a very giddy troll), I've turned to this patriotic game to fill the days until the summer Steam sale. I've only ever gotten the worst possible ending. In order to get the true ending, you must find five tears hidden throughout the levels, then beat the true final boss without using more than 3 continues. I made it past the false final boss without losing a single continue. This is the further I've ever gotten. I was hopeful, for just a moment. I lost about 15 lives against the penultimate boss and just like that, gone was the chance to get the true ending. Welp. Guess I'll ask Mom about that French nationality. This game is too difficult, don't play it. 1 hour ago, BrightBow said: Supposedly there is a Father's Day going on somewhere. Ayyy, I have this one saved still!

How terrible is that!? Now everyone has generic music...! The bluegrass theme for the Italian Waluigi makes me very happy for some reason. 4 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Hah! Oh, that's a good one! Imagine thinking the problem with the soulless cash grab is that it isn't soulless enough! I'd like to imagine the Japanese are better than that, and simply disliked the game because it's... y'know, a soulless cash grab. Not an uncommon thought process among higher-ups trying to market to children. Always going for the cutesy family friendly vibe . The sad thing is that it works, and they know that it works, which is why they push so hard for it. 3 hours ago, Shrimpolaris said: I'm probably gonna play Majora's Mask with it 3 hours ago, Shrimpolaris said: Normalize women proposing first.

Didn't know he was a Fire Emblem Fates protagonist. Fact about the banjo is that it was originally a West African instrument and it was brought over to America through the slave trade, since then it gained huge popularity in the 1910s as the guitar of it's time, though an unfortunate rise as it went alongside with the odd fetishization of black culture by white Americans at that time who would do tours across Europe wearing black face. It was in the 1930s during the Great Depression that banjos got lost in public eye as banjos became far too expensive and most people opted for the much cheaper guitar, which is one of the reasons why the guitar is still so popular to this day. That's my history lesson for the day. 17 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: I mean, there's a reason they've been systematically butchering every Mario spin-off series.

Acacia Sgt Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Forget only being in other countries. The 13th Amendment still declares slavery legal for prisoners. Slavery is still legal in the US... and let's not get into starting how it's abused with their penal system.
