You can actually beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‽ I thought it was kinda like Tetris or something, where it just goes on until you die (again and again) or the game crashes /s

I was always proud of my kid-self for almost defeating The Lion King on Sega. I was like two levels away, but always got stuck at the end of a lava-cavern level. Rocks would fall from the top and slowly murder you while you tried to find the exit in a room full of lava geysers.

Turns out, a slab of rock would eventually fall onto one of the geysers, and you were supposed to stand on it and get rocketed out of the level. I thought it would rocket you into the ceiling of the cave and kill you (I mean, it's a logical thought)... so I never tried.

I played it as an adult and I know I would've crushed those last levels as a kid. Trying to kill Scar would've been another issue (you have to throw him off the cliff) because I would've just kept trying to claw him to death... but I think I would've eventually done it, at least accidentally

So yeah, the exit to that lava level still pisses me off lol. Lions can't pass through solid matter to exit a cave, for fuck's sake!

I can do it, but only with my left ankle! It's almost like I'm sliding the tendon across the bone? making a really loud "popping" sound, over and over. I've been able to do it for as long as I can remember and it's never hurt. Never met anyone else who could do it!

Don't you gotta buy Switch accessories too? Like kinda the same things, if you need them... a dock, extra controllers, memory card, etc? But the deck, you can use existing controllers (from other consoles, or a mouse and keyboard you might have lying around) and buy a 3rd party dock that works just as well.

I have a switch and I loved it for some games, but now that I have a steamdeck, it's the most I've played games in years. Comparing accessories is moot imo, and can be cheaper on a deck... and the deck is just way more versatile overall. The Switch's benefit is proprietary Nintendo games and that doesn't tip the scales enough for me to buy a 2nd gen version. I'll choose the versatility of the deck any day, it got me playing more games again

Didn't 2020 pop off with one of the worst Australian bushfires still ongoing, and then one of the worst wildfires in California/Oregon began? And then, you know... that little pandemic thing? How's the bird-flu thing been so far this year? Just wondering

I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune

Thank you for that, it made my morning brighter

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

Same here! I was already prone to saying "Morning!" anytime, as is... but after working nights for years, it has become permanent. I stopped trying to figure out what time of day it is when greeting people, so it's always morning lol

But I rarely say, "Have a good morning". It's normally just "Have a good day"

A lot of hospitals have them too

I like 'Reddthat'; it's smaller size makes it feel cozy and responsive to their community. I have accounts on multiple instances, but reddthat is what I'm using 95% of the time

Which vaccine company? If you don't mind me asking
