Books with talking animals are better than books where the animal does at the end.

Star Wars Episode I Mega-Duals (1999-2000): A promotional item for "The Phantom Menace", these extra large fruit snacks consisted of two-side, "galactic berry" pieces with an image of a hero from the film in blue on one side, and a villain in red on the other

I do kinda love that about the series though. It's the best fantasy racism simulator.

I also just helped two dudes get married. I'm not sure if that's a thing that the Unity release did but I'll happily presume this 1996 pillar of procedural generation really just gave no fucks about who can marry who.

I think every time I play Daggerfall I play as an Argonian (as I do in just about every ES game) so I have no idea if I'm just getting the peak Fantasy Racism Simulator experience or if I could pick something else and have people say "Even if I knew I wouldn't tell a fukkin Breton!"

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

Two announcers, Jason Garrett and Dan Hicks, stand in front of a sign that reads "Big Turd" thanks to how they are blocking it

Character Sheet from start of the game. No I'm not cheesing it, even though I probably should.

Using a beefy computer for its true intended purpose.

Daggerfall on a screen that is probably far too big for it.

I had this game as a kid! It was pretty fun for a game licensed off a sitcom.

So I got a package of these nicotine-less pouches for free (they were unclaimed at the post office my FIL works at).

It's bad to say but... I kinda dig them. I'd get more.
