It’s demeaning to an entire population. Pretty much the definition of a slur.

Censor a swear word but leave in the slur? Feels like right-wing humor.

I’ll have to try that sometime.

I’ll guess Metal Gear Solid but there are plenty of other bangers in the PS1 library.

That one was a delightful surprise. I enjoyed it thoroughly because I’ve always liked digital pinball as well.

I’ll admit that 100%ing (or rather “100%”ing it - iykyk) it can get pretty tiresome, but I actually found that the backtracking wasn’t too bad because the castle map was so good. For some reason I was able to remember a lot of routes in it, but I couldn’t find my way through the later games for the life of me without checking the map screen every five seconds.

There really isn’t a remaster, just ports. There’s very little to improve.
I think there may have been some voice re-recordings here or there, but otherwise most versions are pretty much the same. I think the Xbox 360 Live Arcade version is missing some unimportant FMVs and some other minor details, it’s still completely decent.
It was a secret unlockable in the PSP game Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles with an added character and other stuff, but then you have to deal with the PSP emulation or whatever.
I’d suggest either emulating the original or getting it as a PSOne Classic on PlayStation Store unless some other route is more convenient.

Absolutely yes. It’s timelessly good. I played a bunch of the post-SotN Castlevanias on GBA and such and even with the more advanced systems and everything, none of them hit the same. It’s insane how well they nailed it on their first go.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The game so good it created the term “Metroidvania” even though the formula was basically “Metroid”.

You must be about a million years old because that’s how long this picture’s been on the internet.
I don’t mind a nostalgic meme but this whole “caption it like I did it” thing is just annoying.
- Comment on TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear! 2 weeks ago:
Hear hear. The Game Gear was basically a portable Sega Master System only better. Can you imagine Nintendo putting out a whole-ass portable NES? They didn’t have the balls.
To this day, one of my favorite gifts I ever received, way back in Christmas of checks notes 360 B.C.

This is why I don’t watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The writing is brilliant, hilarious satire that I think America is far too stupid not to take as an instruction manual.

They run a lab. They should know better.

I take it as shorthand for “without known harmful chemicals, probably, also, we think you’re an idiot”.
- Comment on Scientists Growing Colour Without Chemicals 3 weeks ago:
I knew someone who ate a chemical once and they died so it must be true.
- Comment on Scientists Growing Colour Without Chemicals 3 weeks ago:
I hate the “chemicals bad” nonsense. It’s ignorant fearmongering. Meanwhile I eat chemicals for breakfast.

- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 2 months ago:
The color is a trade-off. It looks more or less like newsprint: a little faded, but still capable of some lively imagery. It also means that black and white pages aren’t as high-contrast. The “white” parts (that are really never fully white on any e-paper display) are a little less white, meaning it’s not as sharp and you’re more likely to need to turn on the backlight or to turn it up a couple percent.
I’m not too bothered by the trade-offs, and I like it when I can see things in color. It lasts ages even with the backlight on low, so that’s not a major problem. It also includes pen support and USB-C, so all in all I’m perfectly happy with it.

This one is my second but the first one is still working fine many years later. I just wanted color.
