Grok has said disparaging things about Elon Musk so I’m assuming it’s going to be disappeared to El Salvador soon.

- Comment on Chrono Trigger Is Timeless 3 weeks ago:
Played it again for like the 10th time on like the 5th system I have it on it and it absolutely holds up. This time around it was the OG SNES on a Steam Deck. The original cartridge, box, instructions and everything are in a box in the basement, but that cartridge has been across the country and back with me every since I bought it through a mail order company that had its ads in EGM.
Chrono Trigger is damn near perfect. The closest I’ve gotten to reliving that game in my adult life is Sea of Stars, which I also highly recommend as it is very clearly inspired by CT.

Back in the 90s we had a convenience store down the street that had a multi-game arcade machine with four games in it, and they’d swap out the games periodically for other games and whatnot. Klax was in there for quite a while so I have some fond memories of that game. “KLAX WAVE” is burned into my brain forever.

Nah it’s probably legit. Trump is famous for eating like trash. His usual order is reported to be two Big Macs and a Filet-o-fish, but I only see one Big Mac on his tray so maybe he’s on a diet.

I’d like a counter of how many people have quit after not knowing where to go when you had to kneel in that one specific place for that specific amount of time to have a tornado come and take you whatever place it was.

There’s also the classic “no three positive integers a, b, and c to satisfy a**n + b**n = c**n for values of n greater than 2“ trick but my proof is to large to fit in this comment.
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 5 months ago:
If all of the digits summed recursively reduce to a 9, then the number is divisible by 9 and also by 3.
If the difference between the sums of alternating sets digits in a number is divisible by 11, then the number itself is divisible by 11.
That’s all I can remember, but yay for math right?

- Comment on Vinegar 6 months ago:
Yeah, basically. You get the same flavour but in a powdered form. Imagine opening a bag of chips and getting a soggy mess of liquid vinegar. It would be chaos. Its probably cheaper too, but I don’t know shit about chip manufacturing.
- Comment on Vinegar 6 months ago:
Unfortunately most chip companies don’t actually use salt and vinegar directly, they use sodium diacetate and sodium acetate which when combined produce the salt and vinegar flavouring we know.
