Oh, you asked for what games, not why. Oops

I think Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country, and the SNES Final Fantasies. Specially 6 would fit the bill

Old video game consoles had dedicated sound chips with a range of tones, sounds, and total notes they could play. They simply didn’t have the memory to store music on the cartridge so they would store instructions for the sound chip instead which took far less space. As a result you can learn to recognize the sounds of various machines. From my brief search it appears GB and GBC used functionally the same chip

Jury nullification isn’t a “rule” that exists but is more the biproduct of a system. If your system of law has normal people judge you, they can’t be punished for their decision, and you can’t be tried multiple times for the same crime, then jury nullification exists. The jury simply chooses to ignore directions, makes the decision they think is best, and the court must uphold it

Counterpoint: a lot of people on ski slopes make enough money to legitimately not even concern themselves with prices

I’ve previously had a caffeine addiction and didn’t particularly enjoy it. So I make it a point to not have it daily. I’d say I usually have 1 small caffeinated soda with alcohol per week and a regular 8.4 oz Red Bull at some point during the week. So probably in total a little under 200 mg per week

The nice thing is that since I don’t consume much caffeine if I do want a kick I can have 120 mg and really feel it, but that’s usually reserved for particularly long days or days where my sleep gets messed up

Why would you care about a lesser species’ opinion? Why would you hold them to a lower standard than you hold yourself?

The Yautja have no concept of “loved ones”. It is specifically brought up that Dek’s older brother is a failure because he is protecting his weaker brother instead of culling him for the strength of the clan. You’re using human emotional logic to justify your opinions instead of following Predator logic. The vast majority of Yautja would be champing at the bit to fight to prove they can beat the warlord. I still contend these humans have been given an incredible honor in Yautja society

No honor? The Yatuja believe that the only honor that matters is in your hunting prowess, literally every Yatuja has never lost a fight because they always fight to the death. They absolutely think it’s an honor to be brought to Yautja Prime to fight against their leader, which is why they do that instead of just killing the people who beat a Predator. That’s a huge sign of respect from them

My first thought is mom gets diagnosed with terminal cancer causing dad to panic and leave her. Now you’ve got a dying mom whom you don’t want to abandon on top of everything else

You can’t really monkey paw someone that doesn’t want to live

You can absolutely make things “more interesting” for a suicidal person that makes life worse AND convinces them to not kill themselves

Right, but storage and memory are clearly the bottlenecks on this computer and we’re pointing out how Apple is alleviating those bottlenecks

That’s a monkey paw wish if I’ve ever heard one

Additionally Apple has a bunch of cloud storage deals. I think most people store all of their photos and videos in iCloud which for most people is the majority of their storage space. I bet this is right in the sweet spot for usability, which doesn’t surprise me given Apple’s laptop history

Since you’re here I’ll assume you’re a nerd and suggest getting into Magic:the Gathering. You can learn to play on Arena for free and then buy a pre-made commander deck. At that point you can go to local game stores and ask when they have open play nights. The nice thing about magic is that the games take a long time to play so there’re a lot of opportunities to socialize with the people you play with and people nearby. Similarly if you can find an active Killer Queen cabinet around you those people are always desperate for players and it’s super fun

If you’re less of a nerd dance classes are more active and likewise force you to be in an intimate space with someone which will usually force you to socialize. You seem opposed to bars but karaoke crowds tend to be the same week after week, and you have to wait your turn, so it’s another socialization venue

When Trump got elected I joked about America spawning an anti-pope and how it’d been a good 500 years since our last one. After the pope became an American suddenly my joke felt less funny. Evangelicals claiming a “woke pope” and declaring an “American Pope” seems entirely plausible to me now

Neon White. I got it free recently on PS Plus and just fired it up to see what it was like. I ended up getting all the A ranks on every level and got all of the hidden items. The soundtrack also slaps

Overall I anticipate it being a net negative. Mergers like this result in fewer jobs, lower quality products and less competition

I mean… I led with that. I don’t like the merger, but I like it more than Netflix acquiring them. There are takes beyond black and white

I have mixed thoughts. Overall I anticipate it being a net negative. Mergers like this result in fewer jobs, lower quality products and less competition. However I love movies (check my profile if you want proof) and specifically I love going to the movie theater. Paramount has continued supporting movie theaters which is more than you can say about Netflix and Sarandos. Likewise Zaslav was just making anti-consuner decisions left and right. I can count on more than one hand the amount of times I’ve called that man a piece of shit. Not to mention Netflix’s slavish attachment to “the algorithm” just churns out a lot of slop

So while the merger is bad it’s probably the better of the two options and anything that reduces David Zaslav’s power is a net positive in my book, even if he makes a small country’s worth of money doing it

Yeah, a particularly juicy orange would probably over fill that
