I think Link to the Pastis still my favorite Zelda, probably followed by the original. My former roommate was definitely all about OOT and why I tried to play through it back then

We’re in a prime area to see it. As such, it will be cloudy and moving between rain, sleet, and snow (we’re not sure which yet) at ~17:44 local time when it comes over.

Zelda OOT. The controls, especially when first using the slingshot and such, with the camera just sucked. I never got far with that after I finally tried it in my mid-/late-20s. It’s one of those I found much more enjoyable watching someone else do.

Played Goldeneye for the first time at a barcade in my early 30s and I didn’t really enjoy that much.

As I think about it, anything on N64 and maybe Gamecube that I would try once I had time and money later in life just were not great. I had been playing better PC games, even in the same years, and have zero nostalgia for it which probably doesn’t help.

I thought I was going to get drafted just after 2001-09-11 as a young man in the US and nothing has really felt quite at that level since. I did buy a dosimeter when Ukraine was invaded. I don’t know what the future holds. I’m glad I don’t live near any US military bases nor in the US anymore.

I love the idea, but the billionaires know they’re on a timer with regard to staff loyalty and will actively be monitoring the outside world to get out as quickly as possible. In a completely unrelated matter, I think we might have some good spots for building giant concrete structures to contain future radioactive waste…

When I lived out of my car, peanut butter was my main staple since it would survive well at about any temperature. I survived off that, bread from a bakery outlet, and, when the weather was cool enough, cheese.

Edit: for non-food, grooming/hygiene supplies are generally good.

Yeah, this seems like it could easily go into premature celebration territory.

They both belong in the trash. Actual headphones all the way.

You also have a lot more contact with English speakers and media to consume in it. Japan localizes everything and there are few jobs where being multilingual actually matters (and those are usually specialized roles outside of hospitality). There are a lot of problems with the way Japan does its English education which does factor into it, but people do not see it as useful, don’t want to use it, and almost never use it (very little overseas travel with most going to Hawaii and Guam which have Japanese language support all over the place).

I say this as someone working on his 5th serious language (with a smattering of Spanish, Albanian, and Hebrew I just puttered around with a bit) and strongly believe that teaching kids languages is a good thing for a variety of reasons.

I have zero faith that the national, state, county, and municipality levels could come together to have something that is justified, works, and is properly-implemented. Tax-payers would also not want to foot the bill for what many would consider useless. Not that many people in the US have passports, either, and a lot that do travel to Canada where English is widely spoken, the UK, etc.

In my generation, yes. I doubt that’s changed in the last 5 10 15 really? 20 ohno 25 30ish years.

Edit: Rural Ohio for the first part of my schooling, but not really different from what I could tell in the big city when I moved for my final year.

At least in my time, people going the “college prep” route generally were expected to take two years of a language in highschool. I moved for my final year to a bigger city and more affluent area and they had French, Spanish, Latin, German, and Japanese, though at least some of those were being phased out the next year (I think Japanese may have been phased out the year I moved there, but I had already had 3 years of French and was more focused on music classes as I thought I wanted to be a music teacher).

We didn’t have any foreign language classes until highschool. We had one month in 5th grade (~11 years old) where we went over some French, Spanish, and German like once a week. By the time I got to highschool, the only options were Spanish and French and I was only able to get into French due to the way they sorted people. That was fine for me, though, since I went to Canada basically every year. These were not, however, required. Some tracks would have things like Ag Sciences and more vocational classes instead. I graduated in the late '90s.

Japan tries to teach everyone English and it does not work well. Most people don’t want to learn it and the way they teach it is also to a test not to communication. I have no faith that the same wouldn’t happen in the US.

Spring into early summer and autumn. In the summer, I may open them early on, but it’s best not to let the crazy humidity in.

I have a handful and none of them really good. My parents divorced when I was 4 so they’re at the latest from them and some definitely younger.

Mbin but all and active (I rarely filter to just subscribed and I stead just block communities I don’t care for)

Full name with maiden name and a note that it’s my wife (in case I’m hit by a bus or something).

I’m not sure I know what you’re asking. Many people use established engines and many of those engines are still under active development to add features, tune performance, etc. Some people also choose to write their own, either for learning/fun or for more specific usecases.

Jellyfish tastes OK. It’s more a texture than a flavor. I have no idea which species I’ve been served. Why, yes, I do live in eastern Asia where something trying to be inedible to humans is taken as a personal affront.

I’m somewhat glad my news diet never told me he went maga as I haven’t heard of him in ages. In other news, given his hometown, upbringing, and -er- success(?) I am not at all surprised
