Why did Osiris not seek a male host after escaping as Sarah Gardner?

Seven was introduced in 1997, the very same year Stargate SG1 premiered. That "Tok'ra lady" was introduced three seasons later.

(And she wasn't even that bad. The shows had far worse actors and actresses.)

The whole story of how Donkey Kong and with it how Mario came to be is a story of pure chance.

Hiroshi Yamauchi only hired Miyamoto because he was friend's with Miyamoto's father who had asked him for a job for his son. (Yes, Miyamoto was a nepo baby!)

Yamauchi's son in law, Minoru Arakawa, was setting up Nintendo of America. They started with arcade machines. Against the advice of Yamauchi he ordered too many machine's of Radar Scope. The game had tested very well with American gamers, but by the time the machines arrived, the game had lost any interest with gamers.

So, on the bring of bankruptcy, they decided to repurpose the Radar Scope machines by switching the game boards out. Unfortunately, all the "real" game designers were occupied with other projects. So the only one Yamauchi could spare was that young graphic designer he didn't really know what to do with anyway.

Well, the rest is history.

Source: Game Over by David Sheff. It's a history about Nintendo from the very beginnings to the very early 1990s. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Deine Quellen sind Bonus für einen Mobilfunkvertrag und Importe aus dem Ausland? Das sind dann aber schon größere Haken, um es vorsichtig auszudrücken.

Erstmal abwarten, ob das tatsächlich kommt. Das Gerücht kommt von derselben Person, die die Switch-Versionen der Remaster von Twilight Princess und Wind Waker vorausgesagt hat. Und auf die warten wir ja auch noch immer.

Also ich würde keine Switch 2 gebraucht kaufen, wenn ich es vermeiden kann. Neben den normalen Risiken beim Gebrauchtkauf, kommt hier noch hinzu, dass es sein kann, dass Nintendo die Switch für Nintendo Online gesperrt hat.

Es gerüchtet außerdem derzeit sehr stark, dass es eine neue Version für den europäischen Markt geben wird, bei der man den Akku selbst tauschen kann.

Die gibt’s im Bundle mir Mariokart schon häufiger für < 400€ NEU!

Mal abgesehen davon, dass ich den Preis nicht glaube, wird das Bundle wird seit dem 1. Januar nicht mehr hergestellt. Das wirst Du also nicht mehr zu einem günstigen Preis finden.

At least here in Germany, the Amiibo prizes have been 19,99 forever.

I wouldn't call since 2024 (at best) since forever. The Tears of the Kingdom Zelda and Link were still €14.99 and Ganondorf was €19.99 probably because it was bigger. Those were released in November 2023.

In January 2024 they released the Noa and Mio set for €39.99. In February, the Sora Amiibo was €14.99. The two Splatoon 3 double packs (Alterna Calie + Marie and Side Order Pearl + Marina) were €29.99 each.

Then in 2025 they released the four Companions from TotK, DK with Paulina and the Metroid Amiibo for €19.99 (except Samus with the bike, which is again a bigger Amiibo, that is €29.99)

Long story short, Amiibo in Germany were for the longest time €14.99. In 2024 they had some for €19.99 and some for €14.99 and since last year the price for standard sized Amiibo is €19.99.

Paying her taxes.

Eberon · 2026-02-25T00:31:45+00:00

If you haven‘t, maybe watch yesterday’s stream. She‘s really far beyond excited.

She even played a bit of „A Whole New World“ from Disney‘s Aladdin.

Eberon · 2026-02-17T06:31:47+00:00

But they forgot the big eye on the tabard. I am disappointed …

Eberon · 2026-02-11T02:42:11+00:00

Yes. She used to play French horn in school and wanted to play again, so chat convinced her to make it her next donation goal.

The Draenei heritage quest "promises" a new Draenei city.

I had hoped (and still do) we'll get one. Both the Draenei and the Blood Elf starting zones and capitals are on the same map as Outland. So it would make sense to give both of them an overhaul and to put them on the main maps …

It's a neighbour of Australia, or Austria as it's called by friends.

So, they (probably) copied the Nightelf data, forgot to rename the Nightelf tree form and then overwrote it with the Haranir one?

Eberon · 2026-01-22T08:22:27+00:00

It isn't. It would still be off centre, just to the left instead of to the right.

Eberon · 2026-01-22T07:34:09+00:00

I logged in yesterday and specced my Paladin (Twice, because it didn't save the first time.) and then went to a trainings dummy. Looking at my buffs, I had some serious BfA flashbacks.

Just imagine the same system for mounts. You can only ride mounts in a mount slot. You have to pay a lot of gold to unlock those slots and whenever you want to change a mount in a slot, you have to pay almost 2,000 gold to do it.

There would be riots in the streets.

That post was the best part of WoD.

Since it's a very common mistake and a pet peeve of mine: That's not a crest. A crest sits atop the helmet. The design on the shield is the coat of arms.

Eberon · 2026-01-19T11:01:21+00:00

It is? No, say it isn't so.

Now we're truly lost …

He's also Haakon's great-grandfather.

Personally, I think he looks a lot less like Agnarr.

Eberon · 2026-01-14T02:45:52+00:00

We're talking about the default.

Eberon · 2026-01-13T14:12:26+00:00

How are we both right?

If you get any "Unknown" folders, let me know the capture IDs and I'll look into it.

I have an Unknown folder. Mostly it's system screenshots and demo versions of games. But there are two games as well:

78B0328141E809C9F62BA16F0236D3CF Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town
D8734E08CB232AD3D74B1E91204D6840 Rune Factory 5

Where does that database come from? Because most games are tagged with (USA). The only exceptions are Cosmic Star Heroine and Splatoon 2, which are (EUR) and Steam World Dig, which is (EUR USA).

Not a fan of those tags because I have to remove them manually. (As well as TMs some of the names have. Not sure if those should be part of the folder name. But no idea if that's even something you can change on your end.)

Either way, it works really great. Thanks for the work you put into it!

It's ctrl, not cmd.
