I lost out on subsidized housing because of Hotmail, but even to this day I still regularly get obvious spam.

Hotmail was great 20+ years ago. Now, it's junk and I only send junk its way.


They wiped my original account clean, no ifs no buts. Just gone. Years of conversation with Friend and Family. No considerations.

Same. My very first email with them was deleted, because I was using it via POP3 instead of logging into the site. I should probably just self-host an email for junk, then I can remove the very last Microsoft thing in my life.

Good to know.

I use Chrome at work and Firefox at home, and I still bookmark on both. It never occurred to me to not.

There are aptitude tests for those two traits: Analytical Reasoning and Ideaphoria at Johnson O'Connor. You, like me, probably will score high on both.

That looks cool! Id be interested in taking a test but I'm less interested in paying $1k for it :)

FWIW, it's about a 6-7 hour series of tests. Worth it, imo, but yeah, it's pricey.

Some people are far too eager to build the Torment Nexus.

Next time, try a walkthrough from GameFAQs. Printed that bad boy out at school and played into the wee hours when I was a teen. Still my absolute favorite RPG, but I needed all to get all the secrets, all the birthday items, all the unique characters that only existed in so-and-so town after the campaign ended, etc. To this day, all I'd want in a modern RPG is something like Ogre Battle 64, and instead all I get is the SNES/PS1 version (my current copy is the latter, since the SNES yielded me a very nice aftermarket price about a decade ago), which is great, but definitely rougher in comparison.

Nothing since has come close.


My dude, you are in luck. Check out Unicorn Overlord!

It is absolutely a love letter to March of the Black Queen and Ogre Battle 64. As usual for their games, Vanillaware's art is outstanding.


Thanks for this. Had never heard of it. Unfortunately, no PC port :(

But yeah, OB64 sits stop a pedestal in its own gallery for me.


It's so frustrating that Unicorn Overlord doesn't have a PC port. Unfortunately, the devs seem to be anti-PC, despite lots of calls for it, from both fans and the publisher.

I felt like I was speaking to a wall for years. Glad I'm not alone in my views of OB64!

Same as the other poster, I can't play it, as I have no Playstation newer than a PS2. Maybe one day it'll get ported or someone else will create something for the PC.

Now there is some nostalgia.

I'd take 1000 GameFAQs .txt only pages over whatever slop Fandom wikis push. Goddamn videos on every page, etc.


Sometimes you gotta be the one to start the group.

French does this too: "mon" is masculine, "ma" is feminine, "ami" is masculine (so "mon ami" is correct), "amie" is feminine, but you have to say "mon amie". Some things contract (like "n'est", "c'est", "l'homme"), but not "ma."

Latin, does this. It's a bit of an unidiomatic construction, but roughly translated into Latin, you get:

> Ioannes Davido occurrit. Hunc occurrere illi placet.

Here it's clear that hunc refers to Davidus, since that's the closer name in the sentence, and illi refers to Ioannes, since that name sits further out.


Should be "wee", and rhymes with B, C, D, G, P, T, V, and (in some dialects) Z.

Trying to sing the alphabet song with a 'wee' is hard. Weeeeeeeee, x, y, and I hate British English for teaching me 'zed'.

Technically, one of the sounds of W is heard at the end of its name, and is seen more clearly in its homophone "yew" (rhymes with ew, shrew, mew, chew, few, Drew, etc.).
