• Guest, can you feel the love in the air? Valentine's Week at The Bell Tree has begun with a new mini-event featuring four activities to enjoy -- new and returning collectibles are up for grabs! Dive in to the love here.

Place your random thoughts.

I have a question. This issue may not have been debated in politics (since it’s a specific issue about video games than a general issue), but would these make me more left-winged or right-winged:
  • “I believe that Nintendo and Sony should make their retro games more available to consumers.”
  • “Piracy is justified for the sole purpose of making content available.”
  • “If a copyright holder refuses to make content available after it goes out of print, it should enter the public domain as soon as possible.”
i’d say left-leaning? but also, i think your earlier post calling luigi a “terrorist” for being a vigilante, without attributing a similar label to health care companies themselves, leans a bit centrist.

not necessarily expressing my exact opinion or attacking or anything, that’s just my observation from what i’ve seen shared online

That makes sense. Since the right-wing is for the markets over the people, anything favoring the consumer over the supply-side would come off as left-winged. And that includes forcing availability of older games. I’ve been waiting for years for Nintendo to add DK64 to NSO, but they also made Super Mario 3D All Stars limited edition (which is an anti-consumer decision).
 
So I took a small peak at the event thread that you can submit sweets too... And somehow I was reminded of these cookies my mom bought once that were surprisingly really good. They came in a box and they were a shortbread cookie that was heart shaped. It had light pink icing with white icing drizzled across it and red sugar sprinkles on top. Idk what they were called or what brand they were. I wonder if they still exist or died out.
 
In one episode of Impractical Jokers, they were pranking people at Raising Cane’s. One couple said they were from Germany and the guy said “We’re in America for the first time, and she really wanted to visit a Raising Cane’s.” I didn’t know it was that popular lol.
 
I remember taking French class in middle school, and I remember using Duolingo for French (all the students were using Duolingo for French). The funny thing about this is that I ended up passing French despite barely understanding the language. 😅
 
Never again will I go to the market during the Superbowl.
It's more fun working in it!

In all seriousness... I'm just glad it's over. Eagles are freaking winning though

Edit: Actually idk who I want to lose. Wanted the Chiefs to lose at first but dealing with annoying eagles fans all week made me shift. It's funny seeing the Chiefs fall apart tho ngl

Damn it, why couldn't it just be the Lions beating the Chiefs? :[

How bad was it?
I went to a market that’s usually less frequented during the holidays because a Walmart and Costco are nearby. I’ve never seen the parking lot that packed before. Other than that, it was just stop and go at the aisles.

It wasn’t too bad per se, just really busy.

That reminds me why stopped going to the local Winco on Sundays. A lot of weird looking people, one had a fedora.
