But not every language has the double meanings of right and left.

Probably a typo of “said maybe”

“Blaster Master?” takes long drag on cigarette “I haven’t heard that name game in years.”

Man, I remember playing the OG on NES. Didn’t know they remade it… And made it all anime lookin’? Neat. If you’ll excuse me, I must go and tidy my crypt now.

I recently picked up the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. For all the Metroidvanias I’ve played as an adult, I never really got too into them as a kid. Gotta make up for that at some point, lol. Symphony of the Night isn’t on there, but I don’t want to start mid storyline (I’m kidding). My biggest fear is playing Castlevania will just make me more impatient for the next season of Castlevania Nocturne.

Sweet, thanks! I loved the heck outta Blasphemous and the Ori games. I’d love to see another game in the Ori universe, it’s so pretty. Some of the others have been on my wish list for a bit. Might be time to crack one open.

Another not bad series is Guacamelee. I haven’t played the second one yet, but I really enjoyed the humor and gameplay of the first.

Looks neat! I’m terrified of the ocean though, lol.

Ah, got me there. Thanks for the info!

My main point, that moon rise and set don’t bookend nighttime, still stands. I was just arguing with the wrong deets. 1:34 am and 5:20 pm are not the start and end of the night. I’ll edit my post to better reflect reality in a bit.

Human Cannonball

Hear me out: Many circus performers are multi disciplined, or put on an incredible display of training and talent. The last big top I went to had a knife throwing couple who also did a fantastic roller skating routine, a few very talented clowns/jugglers, and a bike troupe in a ball of death. Just to name a few. These people have devoted days or years of their lives to their craft. Do you know how hard it is to ride a bicycle across a tight rope with someone on your shoulders?

The Human Cannonball? He got launched out of the cannon and did one flip before getting caught by the net. That’s all he did that night, yet he came out and bowed with the rest of the performers like he was an equal contributor.

We had some winners in my city a few years ago.

Here’s my favorite quote from that article:

“The money is in the car,” Comrie insists. “Who’s the spender? Does a bicyclist go and buy sporting goods, or furniture, or clothing? Or are they just out for a ride?”

Does this guy think cyclists are sitting naked in empty apartments wishing they had clothes and furniture? Luckily he did not win the election.

Yeah, that’s my thinking too. English, and language in general, is very fluid. Different regions will have different colloquialisms, and even different dialects of the same language. So long as we all understand what is meant does it really matter all that much how it was said?
