This manual has everything, and by everything I mean Kefroggey, who is everything to me

Manual text with a black and white pixelated toad thing and the following text:

Kefroggey
This huge frog loves choppy waters. It hurls itself at its enemy, using its huge body as an advan-tage. It will capture its prey using its extremely powerful tongue.

Arcus Oddyssey
Sega Genesis
1991

Two black and white screenshots under text that reads

Pyramid Of Bad Attitude Enemies
This pyramid is the symbol of the power of ancient kings, rising high above the ground and running deep under-ground. Any warrior brave enough to enter this place will be attacked by hordes of enemies with bad attitudes.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

The corrupt leader of the terrorist force, Gulfer. A cold-blooded Queen who is trying to utilize polluted materials on Earth for military weapons. Half her body is a robot. She has a habit of laughing hysterically at absolutely nothing. She is also an egomaniac.
