I seriously thought this was a transcript of game designers playtesting their new RPG and still figuring out how it should work. It's wild that this is given as an example of how to play the actual finished product

I didn't really care for most of the weapons at first, but this guide helped me understand how each aspect worked. I also recommend using whichever weapon gets the bonus, at least until you get a feel for your faves.

It's a toss up between either this line, or the Pizza Bagels commercial, popping into my head when meals or time are brought up

Oh my god, I thought it was just me. I don't even know what triggers that line to pop into my head anymore

Doing that dungeon many times while playing LttP Randomizer got me a lot more familiar with the layout. It still sucks, though

To end on a positive note: one of the funniest things my son ever said when he was absolutely furious about going to bed or w/e was "I WILL *DESTROY* TIME!"

Been thinking about that a lot while playing Hades II. Death to Chronos. (4/4)

And why can't there be a version for kids 15+ so I don't have to answer all these questions about how they do at work or if they can drive?

The page design is awful. You have to click the small buttons on the upper left side, then click "next" on the lower right side. No keyboard shortcuts. (3/4)

But they cover kids of all ages and don't auto-answer redundant questions. It will ask "can they read at a 4th grade level" and then later ask "can they read at a 2nd grade level" and then later "can they recognize at least 10 letters" and so on. Yes, you bastard! I said yes to the first one! (2/4)

When I'm watching something with my wife, it has to be in English, because she is never not knitting or crocheting while the TV is on

The 79 is a typo. Check the date on the paper itself.

Tell tech bros it would trigger the libs and they'll make them.

Of course, they won't work.
