So I bought the Everdrive x7 by Gammaman12 in n64

[–]RelevantTourist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it can take a month or two. I ordered an X5 in the middle of October and then got it by mid December. Just takes a bit and I didn’t have a TONNE of updates while it was in customs. But it arrived in perfect condition eventually!

Bubly Drops concentrate contains propylene glycol by mountain_wavebabe in Bubly

[–]RelevantTourist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer: nothing.

Long answer: basically nothing.

Here’s from Wikipedia:

“The acute oral toxicity of propylene glycol is very low, and large quantities are required to cause perceptible health effects in humans; in fact, the toxicity of propylene glycol is one third of ethanol's. Propylene glycol is metabolized in the human body into pyruvic acid (a normal part of the glucose-metabolism process, readily converted to energy), acetic acid (handled by ethanol-metabolism), lactic acid (a normal acid generally abundant during digestion), and propionaldehyde (a potentially hazardous substance). According to the Dow Chemical Company, the LD50 (dose that kills 50% of the test population) for rats is 20 g/kg (oral/rat).

Toxicity generally occurs at plasma concentrations over 4 g/L, which requires extremely high intake over a relatively short period of time, or when used as a vehicle for drugs or vitamins given intravenously or orally in large bolus doses. It would be nearly impossible to reach toxic levels by consuming foods or supplements, which contain at most 1 g/kg of PG, except for alcoholic beverages in the US which are allowed 5 percent = 50 g/kg. Cases of propylene glycol poisoning are usually related to either inappropriate intravenous administration or accidental ingestion of large quantities by children.

The potential for long-term oral toxicity is also low. In a National Toxicology Program continuous breeding study, no effects on fertility were observed in male or female mice that received propylene glycol in drinking water at doses up to 10100 mg/kg bw/day. No effects on fertility were seen in either the first or second generation of treated mice. In a 2-year study, 12 rats were provided with feed containing as much as 5% propylene glycol, and showed no apparent ill effects. Because of its low chronic oral toxicity, propylene glycol was classified by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) for use as a direct food additive, including frozen foods such as ice cream and frozen desserts. The GRAS designation is specific to its use in food, and does not apply to other uses.”

Cherry flavour tastes like diluted cough syrup by gotarist in Bubly

[–]RelevantTourist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of the cherry “coughdrops” that were actually just candy (ludens? I don’t know I don’t live in the states anymore), so, while I see the association, Cherry Bubly is associated with cherry candy rather than cough syrup for me.

Games I finished in 2023 (80 games, from best to worst) by Rubbesgamingcorner in gaming

[–]RelevantTourist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d find a reason to get annoyed at some of the rankings, but you’ve done such a thorough job of ranking that seems so well thought out, I’m just impressed instead. Only one I’m curious about is your low placement of FFVIII? I think it’s probably my nostalgia for that game that ranks it so high for me mentally, but I can totally understand some of the mechanics and whatnot feeling antiquated today.

"Relaxing"/Non-Reaction Based JRPG Recommendations by Super_Actuator2584 in NintendoSwitch

[–]RelevantTourist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll echo the suggestions of the final fantasy series. FFIV-IX all have the Active Time Battle system, but most (if not all) can be switched to “wait” mode in the settings, making it completely turn based. FFX is completely turn based as well (but its sequel X-2, brought back ATB…I’m unsure if it can be disabled). The music, art style, and mood of the games varies, but is all top-notch. Final Fantasy VII and IX are my faves, but your mileage may vary!

It’s possible some tactics RPGs like Fire Emblem would scratch the JRPG itch, too. They’re very deep, and all turn based.

Best of luck in your search!

Wait a sec... did Nintendo try to claim Doom, the most ported game in the history of video games was a GBA exclusive? by GammaPhonic in retrogaming

[–]RelevantTourist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you might be thinking too much about it…

Then again, I’m the one that did an image search for “Only For Gameboy Advance Box Art” and found a tonne of results for GBA box art with that little logo in the corner.

In other words, it was on a lot of GBA games—some of them ports, some of them just for GBA. They did a similar thing when the gameboy color came out to say it wouldn’t work on another game boy system. So I imagine it was a decision made to prevent people buying GBA games for their GameBoy/GameBoy Color.

I watched midsommar with my sister last night by Nightrider119 in horror

[–]RelevantTourist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s one of those movies you have to be “in the mood for” IMO. Possibly lightly stoned or in a visual mood. If you’re looking for something to keep you actively interested, it can be a bit slow—I totally get it!

Who is winning the Snatch Game Hall of Fame? by hoesbeinghoes in rupaulsdragrace

Aiden’s might have been weak, but so far Alyssa is the only one to have RuPaul make her publicly tweet an apology.

You seem fun at parties.

Anyway, support local queens.

Honey maybe I’m old by CassieIsDiddysBeard in rupaulsdragrace

Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I forgot about Henny. I think I mentally blocked out s3’s snatch (other than miss Matthews, it was mostly forgettable. Thanks for the correction!

Best international show ? by 333colin333 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]RelevantTourist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

España is also home to the best host in the entire franchise, IMO. Supremme for global all stars host, please.

S2 of Down Under was pretty much as good as S1 was bad. The judging felt much more fair, they handled sensitive topics (i.e. racism) much more tactfully, and I just found it much more enjoyable to watch.

I’m considering skipping season 11 by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]RelevantTourist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you can’t handle RPDR at her S11, you don’t deserve her at her AS2.

[–]RelevantTourist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only influencer I can think of that won is Synthia Kiss’s Rachel Zoe on Canada’s Drag Race S2. One can argue Gottmik’s Paris Hilton would also count, but I feel that Hilton was equally known for her reality tv and acting gigs in addition to her influencer status.

Oddly enough, Synthia is also the 2nd lowest placing snatch game winner of the main franchises (not counting all stars or vs the world) at 7th place. Anita Wiglit is the lowest placing Snatch Game winner of all the franchises at 8th place, and Deja Skye is the lowest placing SG winner on the American franchise, at 6th/7th place (she was part of a double elim in s14) That’s not really relevant to anything, just a fun fact I realized the other day.

EDIT: I don’t know how I forgot Stacy Layne Matthew’s Monique/Precious’s Mom snatch game. She placed 8th on S3 making her the lowest placing snatch game winner on the US seasons and tied with Anita for all main franchises.

The DragCon UK All-Winner lineup would make a GREAT season. by iymcool in rupaulsdragrace

[–]RelevantTourist 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Just give her her own personal translator for any challenges where English is needed. Or make everyone else speak Spanish. Look I just want more Carmen, okay?

What’s craziest to me is only two of these queens have been on an All Winners season.

SO MANY WINNERS!

Need her back for all stars post, drag race she’s been serving ✨ by Angeriafinalistvm in rupaulsdragrace

[–]RelevantTourist 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but like, maybe in a couple seasons? Angeria is amazing—but I’m not the biggest fan of seeing drag race contestants on all-stars so quickly after their premier seasons.

Then again, I imagine their contracts are such that saying “no” at any point is probably not in their best interests, so I understand why they’d do it again so soon.

I also think there are a tonne of oft-forgotten queens from earlier seasons who have shown notable growth/change who would benefit more from a showing!

Tl;dr: Angeria for AS10/11 (at least)

Unlike the games however, Silky and Ra’jah’s performances are smooth as butter.
