This could probably be used to check for authentic game cartridges. I’m not going to be licking used games to find out if they’re real, though.

I always turned them off, unless I was just going to eat dinner and couldn’t save. The lasers for old systems like the PS2 and Sega Saturn have a longevity, and will wear out over time. I’d rather not speed that up since I plan on keeping them around. I was also scolded for wasting electricity growing up, so that is burned into my habits as well.

I would play this with my roommate in college co-op to the point where we tried to unlock every upgrade and unit and such. We would try to make the game last by going hard defense against the AI opponent until we could get nukes. It was old and outdated at that point in 2010, and I find it wild seeing that there’s a new update for it now of all times.

Not really a recipe, but this is what I’d usually do:

I’ll just hard-boil a bunch at once and keep them in the fridge. They should keep for a while after that as long as they’re refrigerated. I’ll add one or two to every lunch, which is usually some sort of ramen or noodles, so it goes well and adds protein.

No, I’m just chiming in.

They will pay prisoners pennies an hour for hard labor, which offsets their “rent.” Those that don’t work not only get punished in prison for disobedience but get riddled with debt afterward.

$12 for a 15 minute phone call, more if it’s considered long distance.

I saw everyone flipping out over the pointless microtransactions in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Why am I not seeing the same level of hate for this, or more? This means that the content is already complete and in the game, yet simply made inaccessible by way of timed release and possibly paywall.

Lower level raids still drop lower tier candies. Mid game grind shouldn’t be too bad when doing the overworld auto-battles, I don’t remember what those are called.

I’ve done enpugh raids in SV that I can 1 to 100 any pokemon on an instant thanks to all the exp candies I have. High level raids drop them a lot, and some events can get you up to 999 Large candies.
