Damn that whips ass.

Fuck it, I'm burning down the rain forest and using AI to decipher the OP. Absolutely — let’s slow down and unpack what the original author was trying to express. Their writing was a bit tangled, but the meaning is actually pretty clear once you break it apart. Here’s a clean interpretation of what they were saying: What the original author meant 1. They’ve been watching old monster movies for story research. They’re working on a story idea, so they’re revisiting classic Universal monster films. 2. They like the 1931 Dracula. They specifically enjoy the Bela Lugosi version and seem to respect it as a classic. 3. They respect the Universal Frankenstein, but… They acknowledge that the movie version is very different from Mary Shelley’s original creature. They point out that: The literary creature is intelligent He reads the Bible, Paradise Lost, and philosophy He’s much more articulate and thoughtful than the movie version So they’re aware of the contrast between the “monster movie” version and the “well‑read, philosophical” book version. 4. They also respect Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But here they shift into something more personal. They say: They have anger issues They believe that in the story, Dr. Jekyll is the mask Hyde is the true self This is their interpretation of the character — that Hyde isn’t a separate being but the real personality underneath Jekyll’s polite exterior. 5. The overall theme They’re comparing different classic monsters and reflecting on how: The movie versions simplify things The literary versions are deeper And in the case of Jekyll/Hyde, they personally relate to the idea of a hidden, more volatile self In one sentence They’re saying: “I’m researching old monster movies for a story. I like the 1931 Dracula, I respect the Universal Frankenstein even though the book version is much smarter, and I relate to Jekyll/Hyde because I think Jekyll is just a mask hiding the real self, Hyde.” ...that's a lotta analysis. Sorry environment.

I'm in the market for a emulation-based handheld, that's under $100. Y'all have any suggestions? This is my most likely purchase at the moment, but I'm still researching. https://mangmi.com/products/mangmi-air-x?variant=51817216409967

I could see that. The industry does have a problem* that people are playing fewer games for a longer amount of time. *it's a problem for shareholders (and arguably the industry at large), not necessarily gamers

I'm playing through the pixel remaster version of this, I'm at the magnetic cave, so I'm not too far off from a Rydia reunion.

I don't mean large as in playtime or size. Nah, file size. This shit is crazy! Most modern AAA games coming in well over 100 GB. I recently bought a 4TB HDD and I thought I'd be set. Then I realized...that's only like 40 games. That's stupid! Can they not be optimized a little? I know HD/4K textures take up a lotta space, but is there no way to crush this down?

Got the pixel remasters of FF4 and 6, so that brings them to, uh...I'll just write these out. FF4: SNES, PS1, GBA, DS, PSP, Steam FF6: SNES, PS1, GBA, Steam Do I have to keep buying new versions of these two games? Yes.

We're getting a Shake Shack down the road for my workplace, it's not great news for my wardrobe. I may be moving up to 32" waist. Is...is that femboy?

OK, so here's a top 103 list of games. This is mostly a personal list versus me more objectively listing, like, THE BEST. The games are broken down by the system I first played them on. No particular order. Mega Man 2 Super Mario Brothers 3 Zelda 2 Dragon Warrior 4 Kirby's Adventure Wizards and Warriors 3 Final Fantasy 4 Final Fantasy 6 Chrono Trigger Super Mario World A Link to the Past Super Metroid Street Fighter 2 Earthbound Super Mario RPG Super Mario Kart Actraiser EVO Illusion of Gaia Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals Super Mario 64 Mario Kart 64 F Zero X WCW vs NWO Revenge NFL Blitz 2000 Pokémon Puzzle League Animal Crossing Resident Evil 4 Wind Waker New Super Mario Brothers Wii New Super Mario Brothers U Super Mario 3D World Breath of the Wild Mario Maker Tetris Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins Warioware: Mega Microgame$ Metroid Fusion Metroid Zero Mission Nine Hours, Nine People, Nine Doors Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Animal Crossing: New Leaf Link Between Worlds Chrono Cross Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 Metal Gear Solid Street Fighter Alpha 3 Silent Hill Tekken 3 Final Fantasy 7 Final Fantasy Tactics Devil May Cry Metal Gear Solid 3 Kingdom Hearts Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Capcom vs SNK 2 Katamari Damacy Odin Sphere Final Fantasy 10 Final Fantasy 12 Dark Souls Destiny Marvel's Spider-Man Red Dead Redemption 2 Death Stranding Bloodbourne Dark Souls 3 Assassin's Creed Oddysey Persona 4 Golden Halo Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Street Fighter 4 Halo 3 Halo Reach Dragon Age: Origins Mass Effect Mass Effect 2 Mass Effect 3 Geometry Wars 2: Retro Evolved Fallout 3 Portal Portal 2 Oblivion Super Hexagon X-Com Diablo 2 Diablo 3 Hearthstone StarCraft Civilization 3 Civilization 4 Civilization 5 Sleeping Dogs Dead Cells Rogue Legacy Rogue Legacy 2 Enter the Gungeon Fallout: New Vegas Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

Well anyway Shake Shack is yummy.

JUST BECAUSE IT MIGHT SNOW ONE DAY, DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BUY ALL THE FUCKING MILK!!! I JUST WANTED SOME DAMN MILK, NOT BECAUSE OF SNOW, BUT BECAUSE I LIKE CARTOON-ASS CEREAL. Y'ALL WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN!? IT MIGHT NOT EVEN SNOW. FUCK! This and the damn covid toilet paper, I can't understand it.

Falcons are keeping Ulbrich, very happy about that.

I'm so sorry @tsar4 y'all were really good and had a great season.
