@RetroMoviesDB LOZ. MK2 is all fun until Shao Khao starts smoking and stops taking damage. Golden Axe isn't fun against the bosses without magic. Contra is Nintendo Hard.

You only get to play ONE of these retro games for the rest of your life... Choose.

@animathias This Batman is Skeltor colour/color though except Batman has no yellow/gold on him. It’s like Skeletor tried to cosplay as the Dark Knight and actually pulled it off.

Batman for the NES is a full-course meal. The 8-bit graphics are gritty and crisp, while the soundtrack is quite awesome. Beneath it all is the fun yet challenging gameplay. He controls with an understandable rigidity, meaning you need to make every movement count. #RetroGaming

@VideoGameHstry In the mid-90s, most households had CRT TVs in the 19–27 inch range, with a "big" living room set topping out around 32–36 inches (and those were heavy beasts)

@VideoGameHstry It has the best Bomberman game, Saturn Bomberman though you need a decent sized TV for 10 player mode.

Name one good thing about the SEGA Saturn

@brockpierson WWF Warzone is what got me to get a Playstation in 1998. And in between them I got a Sega Dreamcast. Pokemon is what got me to get a N64 in 2001 so I got a No Mercy a year later than its release.

@brockpierson Sega Saturn. And it being 1996 I was playing Guardian Heroes.

What type of person were you?

@MrAxelStone @brockpierson The practice on Virtua Fighter series helped years later when the Mortal Kombat franchise moved into 3D and induced Death Trap Ring Outs. My favorite games were Sonic R, Guardian Heroes, Daytona USA and Saturn Bomberman.

@brockpierson Wrong.

@grok @OVERSEEROMEN @Avyansx A day skip happened when Samoa (and nearby Tokelau) switched timezones in 2011 by moving westward across the International Date Line. They jumped from UTC−11 to UTC+13 to better align with major trading partners like Australia and New Zealand (instead of being closer to the US)

Yes, similar skips happened later as other countries adopted the Gregorian calendar (to correct ongoing Julian drift). Examples: - Britain & colonies in 1752 skipped **11 days** (Sept 2 followed by Sept 14). - Sweden in 1753 skipped 11 days. - Russia in 1918 skipped **13 days**. The exact number varied by when they switched. Before 1582, there were no comparable large-scale skips—the 1582 reform was the first major one to fix centuries of accumulated error.

Hey @grok what happened in October 1582 that made the date jump straight from the 4th to the 15th.?

@DEARGRANNY Naked? The dude is clearly rocking a white singlet + briefs for his walk. If he was naked he be full birthday suit.

Married man naps in my bed then phases through through walls to walk the streets naked #paralives

@sega_city 3. Boogerman did have support for the 6 button controller with the Z button (which was the Y button on the SNES for this game) allowing you to taunt. It was especially fun using the buttons during the ending credits where you could go wild.

Did your Mega Drive / Genesis come with a 3 or 6 button controller?

@MatPatGT could have called it "Game Theory: I Am Stuck In An Arcade Cabinet!" and ask how did Namco steal MatPat's face before Game Theory existed?

@MatPatGT never addressed the arcade game Dead Heat where the default photo is so much like MatPat it is uncanny. The weird thing is Dead Heat launched in arcades in 2010. But you didn't start the Game Theory channel until 2011. youtube.com/watch?v=Vu5yrs…

@PlayStalgiaX Did longer songs (e.g. Through Fire & Flames by Dragonforce) give higher points?

Vib-Ribbon was a 1999 PS1 miracle. The game loaded entirely into the console's RAM, letting you swap the game disc for any music CD you owned. The game analyzed your tracks to procedurally generate levels in real time.

@jdpoc What about a person with nosebleed (would make the mens a crime scene if it is a heavy one) or someone who about to throw up and the wrong toilet room just happens to be the closest so the person isn't paying attention to the door sign because of it? Stall as fast as possible.

If a man enters a female toilet, out of physical urgency (e.g., if the men's toilet is broken), to clean the facilities, to care for a child, or to assist someone in distress, or because he/she identifies as a woman, no crime has been committed.

And no, in the UK, a male has never been prosecuted simply for being present in a female toilet if no other offence took place. The reason for this is fundamental to UK law: there is no criminal offence of using or entering the "wrong" toilet.

Apparently he does coffee now. #bobsyouruncle #pokèmongalar

@onlyabidoang It would look worse if the sex of the tallest and shortest for the two humans in this example were flipped (as in the manga-default pairing of (very tall man + very short woman) and would get heavily roasted.

In Paralives, you can set Parafolks with different heights, with 1.96m (6'4") being the tallest and 1.49m (4'10") being the shortest for adult. Here's what it looks like when the shortest adult kisses with the tallest 🤯

@brockpierson He was exclusive to the Japanese version of Fighting Vipers too.

Can someone explain to me why Pepsi had their own video game? 🤣

@Aitherwyd @Marconi_Punk @creepydotorg The Reimer case became a cautionary tale against overconfident nurture-based interventions. Modern views (with stronger evidence for innate sex differences) reinforce that the original approach was misguided.

@Aitherwyd @Marconi_Punk @creepydotorg By adolescence/adulthood (1970s–80s), emerging microsurgery and later phalloplasty options (e.g., from forearm flaps in later decades) could be considered. Waiting allowed the patient autonomy.

On the left is David Reimer, and on the right is Brenda Reimer. They are the same person. As a child, he was the victim of a botched circumcision, and on the advice of a doctor, his family decided to have him castrated and raised as a girl. For years, doctors presented the case as proof that a child’s gender identity could be shaped by upbringing. But he never felt like a girl. He rejected dresses, hated being treated that way, and struggled deeply with the identity forced on him. At 14, his parents finally told him the truth. A year later, he chose to live as a boy again and took the name David. He later married and became a stepfather, but the trauma followed him for the rest of his life. In 2004, David Reimer died by suicide at 38.
