I played a LttP seed tonight where:
0) I dove into a Pendant PoD to get Bombos and Golden Sword
1) I went into Turtle Rock without the Ice Rod (Bombos was the medallion for this)
2) I died seven times on the laser bridge because I had no magic to use the cape to skip lasers, no mirror shield to block them, and no armor to mitigate damage (They do 4 hearts + 1 for falling if I do, I spawned with seven)
3) I got both the Flippers (The last item I needed to clear the game) and the last small key on the laser bridge
4) I defeated Trinexx without taking a hit (I could not have done this without the Golden Sword)
Bonus) I didn't take a small key with me when I went upstairs in Ganon's Tower, leading to me having to redo the entire thing
Bonus 2) I did not get the Pegasus Boots

And I was only two minutes slower than yesterday's run

It still feels like he got railroaded though.

110%, which is another reason he 'shouldn't' have bothered appealing. He was never going to win regardless of the facts, because the NFL wanted to make an example of him

But he's got his pride, and if he didn't actually do it he's totally justified in a hopeless appeal

speaking of rankings I'm not going to put them together but I think UQ Holder is the weakest show I'm watching this season (Fate/Apo carryover aside), and it's pretty damn good. And I haven't dropped anything, on top of that.

I'm only watching like five shows, but I think that it's more than I just did a good job of avoiding the crap

"Swamp Palace - Map Chest": "Bow", (This got me into Palace of Darkness so that I could get the Hookshot so I could get the Hammer so I could get further into Swamp Palace to get the below)
"Swamp Palace - West Chest": "Bombos", (This got me into Misery Mire)
"Swamp Palace - Compass Chest": "Fire Rod", (This got me to the back side of Skull Woods)
"Swamp Palace - Flooded Room - Right": "Pegasus Boots", (This let me go REALLY FAST)

Hmmmm....what to watch next. Spice & Wolf? Seems I'll get screwed over if I actuallly get into it, though. GaRei Zero seemed intriguing, but i think that's supposed to have some baggage? Maybe I'll finally watch Hourou Musuko.

Please don't watch Hourou Musuko.

Read it instead.

I watched the first season of Madoka YuGiOh and enjoyed it a good bit. That OP was fucking excellent.

There's a second season that's also highly entertaining. There's also a third but Okada wasn't involved with it as far as I know

And yes, the OP is amazing. As is the S2 OP. And the theme song for the recap movie. And the soundtrack

Fantastic series

Continuing where I left off

1) Misery Mire is cancer
2) Fucking Fire Rod in Ice Palace and I went out of my way to avoid it because it was a pendant, even going so far as to check (pendant) Turtle Rock's one available chest first

Beat my best time by about 25m though (2:07:22) so

These stories have been popping up for a while now, probably true. Don't give any apps etc, access to your microphone. Don't know if that would even solve the problem, but I've personally not encountered it. Best shot short of ditching your phone.

Real best countermeasure is to root/jailbreak (if your phone is one of the bad ones that doesn't allow you to remove the app) and then just remove the app entirely. I don't trust the stock permissions models after stuff like https://gizmodo.com/researchers-uber-s-ios-app-had-secret-permissions-that-1819177235 (If you don't like the source, google the story)

Yes, Facebook does this (They do it through the microphones on your cell phones)

I played a link to the past randomizer today. It was my first time playing lttp in a decade aside from a short emulator test I did a couple nights ago

Beat it in 2:31:18, could've done it several minutes faster at a bare minimum just off two particular hilariously bad choices (I tried to do Eastern Palace without a lamp and couldn't work the second dark room but Armos had the Power Gloves, and I went into Misery Mire without any safety potions/faeries, died to the boss, and decided to put it off. Both of those cost me many minutes each). Also my general routing through Misery Mire, Skull Woods and Palace of Darkness suuuuuuuuuuuuuucked for as many times as I've watched players run them on streams

You're almost certainly right (I'm not the most educated on the issue of scientology, of course), but my opinion here is that a somewhat smaller impact on a vast number of people outweighs a large impact on a very tiny number of people, especially when that impact finds its way into the US Government like it has.

I wasn't exactly prepared to lay out an argument for why "If you have more money, it means that God considers you a better person, and also you should give us lots and lots of money" is batshit stupid. I might do it later once I've pulled legitimate sources on things if I feel like it

But it would basically boil down to me liking that even less than the utter nonsense scientology offers. I do consider both to be A Very Bad Thing though

Isnt that EXACTLY what Scientology does too though?

The big difference is prevalence. Scientology is a tiny minority of religions (About 40k estimated followers, according to Wikipedia). Its impact on the world as a whole is thousands of times smaller, even if the impact on a single person is similar/the same.

Roy Moore was a total scumbag sleaze before the Pedophilia Charges come out. So it's not surprising to see people defending him. As long as he's got the Magic R next to his name.

Principles? Conservatives don't have them.

Correct. Even before this story came out, Moore wasn't qualified for City Council, let alone US Senate

Owari beated

that was an acceptable way to handle the triangle

IIRC this isn't the end of the story, I think second season takes place after this right? Araragi was in college during Monogaratari S2. Still hoping he ends up with the correct girl one day.

You've got the timeline a bit off.

Hanamonogatari (Kanbaru's story) takes place after Owari, with Araragi in college. Parts of Second Season take place during Owari IIRC, though none of it should be after, and Araragi is still in high school throughout
