Forsythe: It looks like a panel from the German comic Nicht Lustig.
Lazuli: Many eminent historians have written that the last true holdout of the Roman Empire was the "Greek" Byzantine Empire of Constantinople, which fell to the turks in the 1400's.
Also, Lazuli, I never use search engines to look up information; and I never use Wikipedia.
so my internet connection cut out while transferring all those files over. As a result it only got to the "E"s of a library consisting of folders of every letter, including a sub folder which is essentially a library unto itself in the "N"s.
Disappointing.
Also I need to figure out how to do custom icons on Windows 7, cuz I think you can, I just forget how.

That is a common answer, but I'm looking for the more obscure of the two. Please try again.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
dude why the fuck would anyone spend that much money on that
See Frosty's post above
Nintendo and Tengen had a huge legal battle over this game. If this was the actual proto Tengen sent to Nintendo before all that shit happened, then yeah, this is a piece of vidya game history.
Speaking of video games (these of a non-historically important variety) I need to like, make one of those what I got/what I expected macros for Copy Kitty.
I was expecting an easier Mega Man clone starring a catgirl.
I got Fucking Lasers Everywhere, Man: The Game and it is awesome.
Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (27 June 1850 – 26 September 1904), known also by the Japanese name Koizumi Yakumo (小泉 八雲?), was an international writer, known best for his books about Japan, especially his collections of Japanese legends and ghost stories, such as Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things. In the United States, Hearn is also known for his writings about the city of New Orleans based on his 10-year stay in that city.

And thus was the cricket chirp heard round the world.
In other news, I am thinking that maybe there is simply too much weapon variety in Copy Kitty. I've come across at least 30 combinations of the main pickups already, and I can't keep track of them all.

For Halloween I should make myself a Deco headband with the Pac-man and ghost.

I have a better one, because it's a trick question.
What nation was considered the last holdout of the Roman Empire?
Googling and Wikipedia-ing are cheating.

I have failed.
Good-Bye.
Well, actually the answer I was looking for was "The Empire of Trebizond".
Pretty much anyone else would've taken Byzantium, though.
But I'm not as smart as you or Deathpigeon or Forsythe.
I should have known that. I should have known that!!

This is apparently the bare minimum of things required to make a sustainable fortress in Dwarf Fortress.
I'm all for complexity, but....really?
what happened to "jump on the goomba"
Combinatorial count in Copy Kitty is now up to 57.
This game is insane.
