I recently mastered Scooby Doo: Night of a 100 Frights for the Nintendo GameCube as part of a Collectathon event on RetroAchevements and… kinda liked it. Somehow a metroivania platformer with zany hijinx moves and dogshit physics.

But then again, it’s intentionally bad sometimes to match the old cartoons Hanna Barbera style. It has a laugh track for crying out loud!

Actually most of these games in the event have some redeeming factors (I even liked Mort the Chicken)… except Mr. Beans Wacky World. That game is actually awful.

Oh no. That’s on my playlist but the psx version. (It’s for an RA event). I hope I enjoy it…

I wonder if you can get it to auto run if you stick it on a USB and let someone find it…

To this day I’ve still failed to talk my stepdad out of buying Madden games… even when they no longer work on Windows 10 (and of course Linux) so he’s having to upgrade… Sigh.

I mean, until their internal ram failed and you needed to do a full RPG in one sitting, but I guess that’s true of board games losing pieces or breaking.

It might be in reference to Mirai Sentai Timeranger, but the costume doesn’t seem right and the katakana is just Mirai Good, so… idk.

Useful list for those who do use Arch; I’ve only got like two things from AUR and neither is on that list (although I kinda recognize a couple with slightly different names, like what, knock off plugins for official stuff?)

Honestly, the BBQ is probably quite good, but it’s wasted on a cardboard cutout for sure.

I’ve had a 40 year old body for like, 25 years. I’m not 40 yet.

Farm rupees? I swear I couldn’t get rid of rupees fast enough, the RA achievements for the Wii version of the game required every chest opened and that version wouldn’t let you open a chest if you had too many rupees. Donating it all was top priority; I didn’t even do bug turn ins until way later.

I used to use ASCII art to mark sections in my statistical syntax. It’s not much but it made me happy when I got to show that to my advisor in grad school.

Err… my LGs screen saver is random paintings, which is either an LG thing or a WebOS thing. You don’t even pick the paintings.

I’m a bit more concerned it’s on the floor directly but that’s just because I’ve got toddlers and that’s always my first instinct now. That TV is in danger!

Maybe not my biggest pro, but I was able to customize my UI way more than I ever could on Windows. I made an FFIX theme for my wife and I might make an Earthbound theme for myself whenever I get around to figuring out how to make a customized window style.

Is the phone integration a iPhone thing? My KDE Connect app lets me text and share files pretty easily, plus a few other nifty features, but I use Android.

If it’s a lane closure, yes, you zipper merge at the end-- imo, because you need visual confirmation of what’s happening but also because it’s predictable and usually both lanes are already matching speeds and zipper merging ahead of you. There’s no need to complicate things with an early swap. Granted, I rarely see a lane closure warning more than 100 meters, if at all… in my tiny car, the best indicator that we’re merging is sudden lane changes of everyone in front of me.

Where I draw the line is when there’s an exit only lane on a freeway and people are zooming along and suddenly want in. Did they jump into that lane just to get ahead? Or are they a helpless victim of circumstance from the latest onramp and unable to merge until now? I let them in, but I’m usually bitter about it.

It’s rare, but I think they’re referring to when it’s open enough and running at optimal speeds. It happened the other day on a side street during an off hour, the free lane couldn’t cut to the front without going like 70mph in a 40mph zone.

Of course a muscle car did just that, but still.

What about kicking the tires? They’re forgetting to kick the tires!

Even more obscure, since it never got shipped to NA, but a South American friend suggested it to me saying it has Shadow of the Colossus vibes. Which is good, haha.

Now do it with a fried chicken bun!

I like that your daily games lately have been (very random) nostalgia, haha. That said, I say this as I boot up yet another underrated Wii game nobody heard of but is weirdly good (Arc Rise Fantasia).

Spread the retro joy!
