You do seem to be simplifying what a game is, though. Boiling it down to what is “intended”. If easy difficulty was created and put into the game by the developer, is it not intended?

Ah so speedrunning and challenges, which are arguably harder, is fine? Speedrunning and exploiting glitches A-OK? But easy mode because I’m 44 and don’t react like I did at 19, that’s ruining the experience? Doesn’t make sense.

It came out in 1992, at the end of the NES lifecycle. The SNES was already out and many people were only interested in games on that platform. This is why end of life games like Little Samson did not sell as well as they should have, and consequently, only had one small production run. That, in turn, is why these games are among the most expensive and sought after by collectors. There are just way less of them out there! I would love to have a Little Samson cartridge, but I don’t have $3000 to spend on a Nintendo game lol

Breaking Bad + Better Call Saul

Drinks/imbibes beyond group vibes.

Man, I have a couple friends that have this exact problem and it’s tiresome…

Suit yourself, more soft and fluffy for the rest of us.

I just like my hair short and not in my face. :(

Gotta chime in with the bacon cheddar potato wedges and chili cheese curly fries at Jack in the Box. Jack in general has become shit tier now.

Also, McDonalds used to have a super excellent breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, peppers, everything. Back when breakfast all day was a thing.

Thus pisses me off. The big fandoms and influencers could move. But all the people are on X. The users couldove, but all the fandoms and influencers are on X. It’s a fucking loop where no one wants to make the first move

Does “his own vomit” count? I found him behind a table munching and crunching on something. Turns out he had thrown up there at some point, it went unnoticed, dried, and he was eating little dried bits of chewed up “party mix” snacks.

Really, this seems efficient. Recycling.

Like qwop.

But qweruiop.

Sony tried this with ModNation Racers. It bombed.

Nothing I said was advice.

I do not use in ear headphones. I believe you underestimate my oiliness.

I work in a call center where I wear headphones for 8 hours. I also game online and wear headphones at home for an hour or two each day. I am a very oily person. My ears DO NOT self-clean, as you say, given my situation. I use a peroxide ear drop every few weeks to cut down the buildup nowadays, then flush with an ear syringe. You can’t make generalizations. People should get to know their bodies and stay healthy. If I do not do these things I just described, by the way, I start to lose hearing after a few months.

I honestly appreciated some of the tongue in cheek self awareness of the 4th movie, but it was overall just another long series of action sequences. The first movie was a movie with mystery and a story to it beyond contrived excuses to use bullet time. The sequels are very low on substance. Not a big fan.

Better ear cleaning tools exist. They are little plastic scoops. I used to use a bent paperclip. Basically anything you can put into the ear canal and then pull/scoop/scrape earwax out is far better than a qtip, which only compacts wax into clumps. The one good use case for the qtip is drying. They can absorb water well inside the ear canal and belly button. I personally use them on my navel after showering since I have an “innie”

The Matrix sequels. All of them.

I bought FFXVI on launch day and decided to go the story difficulty. Best decision ever, and such an interesting way to do it. You basically get these special rings that make aspects of the game easier, like dodging and attack timing. You can always unequip them if you want to try the game with harder mechanics. The rings also take accessory slots, which you only have 3 of, so you have have to consider things like “Do I want this agility boost? Or my time-stop dodges?” Interesting to trade out game nerfs for stats or other effects.

But yeah. Story modes are great. I played Horizon on easy. Had a blast and didn’t get frustrated.

Does Alt+F4 not work well enough?
