Dreamt I came across a Muppets D&D boxed set. It had a smiling Kermit on the front, like a cereal box character, dressed in fantasy cosplay. There was a realistic illustration of a white snowy fortress in the distance.

No, I don't have any answers for you.

Good advice, take heed!
I think nintendo got too scared when "some people didn't like the backtracking in prime 1 & 2" and ended up cutting out like the entire defining aspect of the series in future installments. fundamentally misunderstanding why people like these games

When cartoon characters discuss numbers in base ten rather than base eight, it takes me completely out of my suspension of disbelief. Their society would not have developed that way.

Was thinking about whether it's better to spawn loot when an enemy dies or to spawn it when they're born and keep it on their person for you to pickpocket, and also how loot is often various giblets that presumably came off when they asploded, and should you be able to pickpocket the gibs?
