I don't think any 64 game is going to feel great remastered. Mario was one of the few that felt extremely good from get go. I tried playing Mischief Makers again and was like "what are these controls? What am I doing?".

Don't play the difficulty, not the game.

Finally managed to get 100% done on Megaman Battle Network 1. I HATE those drop rates, and the fact that Zenny actually counts as a drop for it. So you can end up fighting a rare encounter 10 times, get a S rank on it, and only get Zenny...multiple times over. Pure anger.

Hunting Bileguts is annoying. Aside from being stupidly faster than a giant robot frog should be, they also spew poison everywhere, they summon Stingspawn to get in the way, and it's way too easy to rupture their bile sacks, which are the entire reason I'm hunting them in the first place. And then there's the Apex Bileguts, which are the same, but much stronger, packing far more HP, and on fire.

Dear goddess. Please tell me you are joking and there really wasn't such a pop. That has to be the second grossest soft drink I've ever heard about.

Where's the nacho-flavored Dew at?

I couldn't find an article without a paywall (admittedly I didn't look too hard), but I did find Dew-flavored Doritos.



Which is.....honestly probably not quite as terrible, but I still don't think I'd care to try it.

I'm a little behind the times, but I just want to make a note that Flamin' Hot Dew doesn't have anything to do with Cheetos. It's just got a vaguely spicy flavor that seems familiar, but I can't place. 6/10 - not terrible, wouldn't buy again.

I've associated it with the flamin' hot cheetos since I've bought and eaten them before. Were a bit too much for me.

Also that feeling when you realize your A/C died because a snake decided it looked good enough to nest in.

Picked up the Devil May Cry HD set. I forgot how brutal old school games could be, and how little they told you what to do. I didn't even know there was a wall jump until I found it by accident. Great atmosphere though, DMC 1 has a Resident Evil/Hack and Slash vibe going to it.

So a few things happened today where I work.

Earlier I learned that one of the girls that got transferred to another store and was aiming for management had an intimate relationship with my department manager. Her last day was this past Friday, and he left her a love note on the schedule for all to see basically saying she'll be a department manager before she knows it.

What makes this bad is not because of the work-relationship they were having, but she's in her late 20s and he's in his mid-50s. I had not known of their relationship until today when a co-worker was talking about it while he wasn't there, and I was like 'she was doing WHAT?'

The other one was ongoing from yesterday where one of our clerks took an obtuse order (was a 3-tiered cake worth 500 bucks, had no sizes because 'she knows we'll know what size she wants' and quoted her only 70-90 dollars for the whole thing) and I had to call the lady. Long story short the lady bit my head off over the phone, bit my dept. manager's head off over the phone and pissed him off, and ended up talking to our store manager and getting a full-sheet cake for free. Not an hour later after she got her cake she trashed us on our city's twitter page but praised our store manager for 'being a class act'.

Firstly, any cake like that is something we not only require you to give us at least two weeks notice, but we require it to be paid in advance in full. She placed the order the day prior. She also requested a design that we needed a picture for, so we wouldn't have been able to do it either way.

Now we have a new rule because of said clerk's stupidity that only I or one other decorator may take cake orders of that size. If that lady recognizes this story and ever reads this, I hope you step in dog sh*t for your terrible entitled attitude.

Was Danger Noodle OK or just resting?
