What grade do you climb? Do you prefer slab or overhang?

I certainly hope someone was fired for that blunder.

The most reasonable explanation is that Charlie looked at the court documents, saw Juarez spelled as Juarez, had no idea that that's how you spell Juarez, and thought their name starts with a J sound.

Yeah Culture drones are on both sides of the line between autonomous person and (potentially, if that’s what kind they are) weapon. Plus I was imagining all of the non-offensive things it could do to be useful when I suggested it.

Hmm, a Culture militarized drone might count as a weapon. If there were one that wanted to be my friend and be helpful to me that would probably be the most generally useful weapon possible.

…that’s his crotch.

This amuses me because they are (well, were; I haven't seen them in concert for 20 years but saw them several times back then) a good live band but 'Gel' was barely even a radio song for them, much less a hit. 'Shine,' 'December,' and 'Heavy' got the most radio play.

I had this very poster up in my room as a kid!

Apparently Marc Alaimo was a bit too much like Gul Dukat and consequently not well loved by the rest of the cast of DS9.

I’ll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.

In ye olden days a wizard could expect to have ~13 HP at level 5, assuming they didn’t also roll terribly for Con. Rejoice that no one gets d4 hit dice anymore!

That’s what those nerds get for disrespecting the water polo jocks.

Thank you so much for the rundown! I recognized the 3630 and the QuadraVerb because I used to have those too, but couldn’t make out anything else. It seems like a great set up; I hope you have a lot of fun with it :)

Cyclops was right

Tell us about that rack set up behind you!

My recollection is that it transports you right outside their gate, which will be locked until you do that quest. So it would work but maybe not achieve the goal you wanted? I think you can also get provisional permission to trade with a single one of their merchants without doing the quest if you ask nicely. Super good game though. Lots of wacky things you can get to work, like that, depending on how lucky you are and how badly you want to break things.

I am one of the bizarre minority that really likes 2 (not more than LttP et al) and I’d say it’s totally worth it. It does suffer from typical NES terrible translation issues leading to a few incredibly obtuse puzzles. It nevertheless just feels like an amazing adventure, which is my favorite Zelda quality. Plus the music is also great in 2.
