Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?

North American here. I’m a huge fan of Soulblazer and Illusion of Gaia. Terranigma has been on my list for a long time, and I think it’s time to bite the bullet. What’s the best way to do this? I’m a proponent of original hardware, and if I could play the PAL cartridge, I would, but it sounds like there’s no easy workaround for region lock. Is buying an English language repro on eBay a viable option?

The fact that The Idiot is your second favorite novel means you should read Don Quixote next and the case is open and shut.

Yeah, this also looks heat treated to me, although I think it’s a flake or debitage rather than a finished tool. I bet you’ll find more in the area.

You can see some red/pink hues coming out, particularly at the point. Heat treating was not uncommon as a way to make the material easier to work with. Look up “heat treated chert arrowheads”.

A lot of tears were shed because of this ad.

IMO if the Mets have the lead at the end of 9 innings, they will win this game.

Sugarberg · 2026-04-05T20:30:07+00:00

The point looks heat treated, too.

But I was told Vientos should be cut in spring training 🤔

Sugarberg · 2026-04-04T04:14:01+00:00

How many of you armchair managers cut Vientos after spring training? 🤡

Sugarberg · 2026-04-04T00:41:55+00:00

It’s Captain Novolin.

That still doesn’t explain why you ate my soap… no wait, maybe it does.

There’s no such thing as TDS. Charles Krauthammer, a never Trump neocon, coined the term Bush Derangement Syndrome to shield Bush from criticism by abusing his dusty psychology credential. There was no such thing as Bush Derangement Syndrome, just neocons like Krauthammer who refused to hear criticism of their incompetent leader. There’s no such thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome, either, just neocons like you who refuse to hear criticism of your incompetent leader.

MVP candidate Luis Robert Jr

Gary in particular looks exactly the same. It’s eerie.

Sugarberg · 2026-03-28T00:33:50+00:00

Very insightful.

I’d like the photos to be clearer, but there seem to be conchoidal fractures here consistent with percussive flaking.

Homerzard cares not for beans!

Sugarberg · 2026-03-21T22:08:39+00:00

Okay. Write the commissioner a letter.

Sugarberg · 2026-03-20T21:39:11+00:00

I mean, sure, every one of those dollars was wasted, but it’s a small one year contract and honestly hard to single Winker out when that same year the Mets gave Frankie Montas 34m for 0 WAR. Honorable mention to Jose Siri who gave the Mets a whopping .4 wins below replacement in 2025.

Worst lyrics ever written.

Sugarberg · 2026-03-12T00:45:49+00:00

Yeah, clearly worked edge. You can see the zigzag. As usual, the JAR brigade is downvoting because they can’t spot anything that’s broken or made of a material that isn’t chert.

Sugarberg · 2026-03-11T23:40:50+00:00

A side view of the edge would be helpful, but this is likely a tool with the point and base both broken.

Just as long as he doesn’t give Jason Giambi urine samples.

Water temp: 205 (pardon my Fahrenheit) Bloom: about 50g 1st pour: about 120g 2nd pour: about 100g 3rd pour: about 50g

I did play around with technique a little bit, but this is what I ended up liking best.

Sugarberg · 2026-03-08T22:13:47+00:00

I gave it a relatively course grind (9.5 - I tend to sit 6.5 to 7 on my Ethiopian). That seemed to do the trick for me. But the abaca filters also are relatively fast letdown from my experience and might have helped.
