I'm replaying Megaman Zero at the moment. How teenage me completed that fucking game, I have no idea.
Confession time: while I did beat Castlevania, I have
never beaten a single Rockman/Mega Man game. I feel like maybe I could beat #2 or #3 for NES, but I never am patient enough for the wily castles and you don't get any more password checkpoints after the robot masters so I just end up turning the console off.

Also, maybe I am starting to like Biden a bit. All the lefties that voted for him are now crying about him. Delicious ironic tears. I was correct, they would cry if Drumpf won and eventually would cry about Biden.
I knew I'd cry about either of them the moment Biden entered the primaries.
It was pretty obvious to me from the beginning that he'd be nominated, just because of the party establishment being what it is as much as anything, and it was equally obvious to me that he represented a fundamentally compromised status quo.
Choosing Harris did nothing to alleviate my concerns.
Sanders may never have been a real option (not within the confines of the democratic party, anyway), but I will continue to mutter "I told you so" and somewhat more ironically "thanks, Obama" quietly whenever people complain about what we ended up getting.

Also didn't call women 'birthing persons', which the democrats are all saying which sounds more Handmaid's tale than anything the Republicans have said so far.
While I agree that the term is kind of ridiculously overly-PC and awkward, let me refer you to Todd Akin in 2012, when asked about allowing abortions for raped women:
QUOTE
If it's legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.
Again, though, "birthing persons" is a really cringey term when you can just say "biological females" and most trans people wouldn't get upset abut it.
Most trans people I've talked to seem comfortable with it as long as it is specified under the "biological" context because it's functionally an efficient way to make a distinction without actively excluding, say, trans men or non-binary people with functioning wombs/ovaries.
And when I say "most," I mean with a sample size of maybe twenty, if including online conversations, and three in-person. I frequent a couple places with a strangely high concentration of trans people online because I tend also to find funny memes there.
