I’m so nostalgic for it. I played it over and over on the SNES Mario All Stars cartridge.

If you run for office on that platform, you have my vote.

Maybe I click-baited you!

But in all seriousness, I go back and forth with putting anything in the body that I want people to read. I think it’s a separate click in some apps, because frequently people go straight to the comments and will ask about something that the body text answers.

Good luck!

Haha, sorry - I just assumed everyone had heard of this wonderful nightmare! Like the other commenter said, it’s called “Getting Over It”. It has cool narration as you’re playing - you’ll fall down and then get a talk about overcoming failure.

I don’t know if it was the same people, but it definitely felt like a spiritual successor!

They’re going to tell me to google something. I can feel it.

It’s ok, we’re two steps past them now. I think we’re safe.

Picard opened with the Amar: Krazy Kat variation and the dog couldn’t help himself.

(I had no idea this opening existed. I just googled, assuming there had to be one with “cat” in the name)

Funny story time:

I had someone cheat against me the other day (without me realizing it, because I don’t have the game sense to tell), then offer a draw in a clearly winning position. I guess they were trying to avoid detection, but I decided that I didn’t want their handout, declined the draw offer, and resigned.

The system immediately flagged them as cheating and refunded my elo, so I guess all’s well that ends well.

It’s the rating system for competitive gaming that was originally developed for chess, but has since been applied to all sorts of gaming, sports, etc. sometimes you might even hear people refer to a game’s matchmaking rating as “elo”, even it’s not called that.

Also, fun fact: it’s not an acronym, it’s a guy’s name:

Oh no, it’s completely free to play. What I meant was that when a game is over, the winning player gains rating points and the losing player loses rating points, proportional to the rating difference between them.

Since I had lost that game, I lost rating (elo) points. But, since the system recognized that it was against a cheater, which isn’t fair, it gave me the points back when they banned him so that my rating would be unaffected.

I hate that. I have to look up my password every single time.

The_Picard_Maneuver, 6 miesięcy temu

Really? It takes ages to open for me.

Weird, steam is so much faster for me. And I don’t do anything strange, just log in and use it, but almost every single time it asks for my password. I wonder if there’s a timer - like, if you don’t log in for a week, you have to give your credentials again?

Lol, I wasn’t fully awake when I read this, and it took me a second. Well done.

Damn, that’s a once in a lifetime memory right there.

Hundreds?! Like those old tiger electronics handhelds?

Wow, when they were practically giving those away, I figured they were washing their hands of it. It’s amazing that it’s still being supported.
