It's called empty threat.

So, in other words, a no-assed threat?

As for vacations, I'm going to San Francisco next month

And of course there is level 3 of Zelda 1...

The NES Game Atlas actually elaborates on the symbol, which is called "manji" in Japanese and means good fortune in Buddhism.

I guess the symbol's image wasn't tarnished by a total fuckbag in Japan like it was in Europe and the Americas.

For when you get a job as a stripper? Maybe she's suggesting something

57 and rainy. Comfortable for me, but some old lady on the buss was all "You NEED a jacket!". I'm like, you're not my mother, I'm attuned to much colder temps than the average person. I actually think 72 and sunny is too hot.

Granted: you get the Love Canal in Niagara Falls NY.

I wish people would stop treating me like a baby.

Daft Punk!

That does look pretty cool. Kind of like Lego sets.

For me, the rankings are posted at 3 PM. Not late enough to feel like the end of the day.

My last vacation was to Canada in 2011.

My parents, on the other hand, will take 3-4 vacations a year, usually to Europe and such.

I can't imagine someone saying "hashtag" while saying an IRC's name. I say "pound sign slash number sign Kafuka" for #kafuka.

---

Nowadays I don't pronounce the # in channel names, but years ago I would say "number acmlm" or "number purezc" or whatever.

I had dreamed to play a ROM named "Sonic 1 (Beta)", only to get a certain hack by the name of "Sonic 1 WTF Lame" with added musical ear rape.
What's "worse" is that I could potentially recreate this outside the dream (bar the music).

---

I also had a dream about a ROM hack...this one was a Mario hack. It was nominally an SMB1 hack but it had elements from other Mario games. And I kept dying because I couldn't find enough 1-UPs.

<Schezo[Laptop]> somebody should create a thread containing Seattle

OK, here's your thread containing Seattle.

Talk about Seattle here, I guess.

Why does Ninji run a bot on his computer for reporting the mentioning of the word "Seattle"?

---

In another, non-Acmlmosphere channel, there was a user named "Yuri" or "Nacht" who lived in Seattle and would mention it obsessively. So the owner of that channel set up a bot to count the number of times "Seattle" was mentioned. Then at some point Ninji took a copy of it to #kafuka for a reason that was lost to the mists of time.

The original bot actually no longer operates, as Yuri/Nacht was banned from the place...

At some point they raised the ground level of Seattle. Can't remember if it was to avoid floods/tides or they just had a lot of dirt around. But anyway, they raised part of downtown by one floor, but the streets and buildings were done out of sync, so for a while you had to climb up ladders at every intersection to reach the street and back down to reach the sidewalk and businesses. I am not making this up.

There's a tour available that lets you explore part of the original level. Mostly abandoned now of course.

Well, Seattle is rather weird

On irc it's #kafuka "Kafuka Channel/Kafuka Channel" or just "Kafuka". There are &channels as well.

---

&channels? Never heard of those... What's the difference between & and # then, and why doesn't anyone seem to ever use &?

Agreed. Special events need to be, well, special.

Not like at I1 where it seems half the board pretended to switch gender about 6 times a year. It got tiring, always the same thing every time.

I prefer SNES9x, which doesn't try to swallow the mouse pointer.

I'm usually on IRC or something when I'm playing games in the emulator, and I want to be able to switch tasks easily. It's the same reason I never play games fullscreen if there's an option.

I did like the other special events though. Like the Star Wars name changes when the movies came out, and the holiday stuff.
