“Fetus papyraceous occurs in 1 out of 12,000 pregnancies and 1 out of 200 twin pregnancies.”
Instead of absorption, it could have been papyrification, but apparently that leaves a kind of unmistakable trace for a doctor, which you mentioned so I assume was involved during birth. If pregnancy was non-standard in more ways then just finding out late, maybe those remains were so small that they were harder to notice?
I couldn’t find a written record of a similar situation where a second twin that was seen at 7 months and just vanished afterward, so this could be a unique mix of circumstances. That also makes it statistically a lot more likely that somewhere along the lines, information was missing, or got garbled in chaos, or was misheard, not unlikely during extreme situations like birth. I’m not even thinking about bad intentions, just all the places where one human error could be the missing puzzle piece.
Can you think of any extra information regarding your time during pregnancy and your birth you are willing to share?
It sucks that you couldn’t live with your twin, although I can imagine you have made you peace with it since. Having siblings can be a lot of fun, I know I love it :)

How would it know? Did it just look at the amount of robot fuel it used in a week and then compare?

We have a national videogame museum nearby that works with time slots, you pick an amount of time you want to be there or just get the all day pass, and inside all machines are on free play.

But how does that diminish the irony? The story is still ironic as a whole, even though he achieved his goals.

- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 2 months ago:
Eh, yeah, only 14%? 2025 is just one year, and there are so many good choices already. Decades of masterpieces often on sale for 5,- vs 1 year of games yet to prove themselves. Last year was about 15%, 2023 9% and 2022 about 17%, going on the previous replays. so i guess in that context you could say ‘only’ 14%.

I think if you add some twix bars in the mix you have good chances that it wont get worse because of it. Only logical choice is to go the twix route.

Damn all the negative bullshit is a real shame. I shared the info about this ROM hack with extra veracity in my circles in response to that, and now 3 new people who love being represented by those cool flags are happily trying it out. I’ll try myself later in the week, it looks really cool. Thanks for sharing it here.

I loved it on the Wii with attached nun-chuck, having my arms both facing out feels more comfortable then in, when witting with a controller. Now you’ll have a full set of inputs to go with it, very cool!

The first time I held a deck I was kind of amazed at how comfortable it is to hold. Bricks shouldn’t be that comfy to hold, but, it is. The ergonomics are spot on. Gotta handle the Steam Controller V2 myself before any verdict, but I have high hopes.
