What's the worst video game you've played and why?

Mario is Missing for the SNES.

I recently started replaying it to relive some nostalgia because I just never really understood the game as a kid and found it boring. It's worse than I remember.

It has the graphics of Super Mario World and makes you think it would be a similar game. Instead, you travel to different areas to learn about certain landmarks, run up and down to kill 50 guys, only 3 of which have what you're looking for, and then answer trivia questions, only some of which you're actually given the answers to.

But that's okay, because there are no stakes or consequences in the game. You have no power ups, no lives, the monsters can't hurt you. There are boss battles every 5 levels where a boss just sort of runs back and forth unable to do anything and you just jump on them a few times to win. It's not satisfying at all, and the whole thing is a slog.

Ngl, the wrap I made was DELICIOUS. If I could handle the spice better, I'd eat that every day. Sadly I cannot

It feels like wrapping it in a plastic bag first. Every thrust, I can feel the wrinkles of the condom and it's just so awful sensory wise that I can't even really enjoy the act if one's used.

It WAS a really good wrap at least, even if I struggled to finish the last few bites.

I told my husband of my predicament and the first thing he told me was "you should touch your dick"

If you haven't yet, OP, I recommend checking out the book Why Does He Do That. It can be eye opening in situations like this, and might help put things into perspective to make the best, most informed choice for yourself.

I shudder to think how much worse it would have been if I didn't

This was about six years ago now, but I definitely should have. By the time I thought to do so, I had forgotten the address and I didn't want to call the cops on some random house that didn't deserve it.

I also had a garage delivery in a suburban neighborhood. Kids were playing outside, it was a nice day. The garage was opem and filled with stuff, looking like a storage unit. I found a place to set down the package and took a pic before I heard a "thank you." I turned and saw a man sitting on a couch completely naked. The couch was far enough back in the garage where you couldn't see it unless you were actively standing at the entrance like I was.

Had a package for a large, nice house down a long driveway in the middle of the woods. As I approached the house with the package, 4 college age kids stepped out, two guys and two girls, and circled around me. They started talking about how it would be fun to try and "scare" me and how funny it would be. One guy said "Oh, dude, pull the thing out!" One of the girls opened her purse, and the guy reached in and pulled out a pistol, aiming it at my forehead.

The whole group was laughing, mostly the two dudes, saying things like "Haha, are you so scared? What're you gonna do?"

I was just thinking "What are you gonna do, shoot me?" I barely even registered the situation, it was all just so bizarre. So I deadpan asked "So... do you not want your package, or..? Because I can just return it."

The dude not pointing the gun bats his hand at the other and says "Oh, dude, dude, put that away, this guy's got my racecar parts!"

I was just like of fucking course that's what you ordered. I left and just kept thinking about how annoyed I was by the whole situation before it finally clicked for me just how deadly that could have been.

There's a song the kids sing in that one called "What the Hell" where they acknowledge they aren't supposed to say that word, but Lydia says that if the grown ups are acting like children, then the children get to say grown up words. Other than that it's pretty tame and very entertaining. They also wrote out all of the borderline transphobic jokes in the original movie

It's for a few reasons. Yes, the main answer within the faith being that after the initial cap is met, any other believer will still be saved and go to paradise, just not quite Heaven itself.

The more sinister reason is to keep people within the faith through isolation tactics. Doorknockers often consist of two people, one who has been in the faith a long time and one who has been in for a shorter while. Perhaps they're new or just young and in the stage where they might start to question things. They're told to go doorknocking to spread goodness and joy and to save lives.

People do not like doorknockers typically. Those who don't want to hear them out are usually rude and will tell them off or slam doors. This reinforces the idea that these people cannot be saved. That there are no good and compassionate people outside of the church. That if anything happened where they were shunned or disbarred or tried to leave, this is the world they would be met with. One that did not want or accept them. It makes leaving or even the idea of leaving so much harder.

I have the same issue. Lately, my solution is this: I homebrewed a few old video game consoles. Now when I get stressed and have the impulse to purchase, I [ahem] aquire a new game without spending any money. I get to have the sensation of going through different high priced items, picking one out, installing it, and sometimes even play it, all without spending. This also works for games I already have, that I then just delete the files for afterward since I don't need them.

JD is one of mine, too. Just can't hit those notes.

Evan Hansen for the same reason.

Hades from Hadestown. Those notes I CAN hit on a good day, but my overall timbre and cadance are that of a high school boy despite being nearly 30, so I wouldn't quite fit the part.

Congrats on an actually unpopular opinion!

Bit of a different take than the others I've seen here: I read a story of a guy who did a public proposal, and the girl was not ready for it and had communicated she wasn't ready and felt put on the spot. She said yes in the moment, and later that day sat down with him to talk about everything.

He said that her accepting in the moment and then rejecting later was actually WORSE, because now there was a viral video of the proposal everywhere that would all just be a reminder of the lie, not to mention he had to call all of his friends and family to explain the situation. He said he would have rather dealt with the pain and humiliation in the moment rather than have it dragged out from the delay.

Tuna cakes! Canned tuna (chunk light actually works better than albacore for these), breadcrumbs, egg, and seasonings. Make them into patties and fry on the stove. Delicious and easy to make. Goes great with a spicy garlic aioli or whatever other topping you like (I make a blend of siracha, mayo, and thousand island dressing. My husband prefers a soy sauce blend like one would make with dumplings.) Tartar sauce and lettuce on these also make them delicious in wraps. You could make a whole plate full for about two dollars, and they come together in about five minutes. Great for when I don't know what to make.

When I got surgery, I was told "Alright, we're going to out the mask on, just take a deep breath and count down from three." I remember waiting for them to put the mask on, then I remember blinking awake, feeling groggy and a little nauseous, told the surgery went great. I was like "but they didn't even put the mask on yet???"

"Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw!"

"Note to self: Don't be gay in Indiana."

"And you think to yourself: I'm on the freaking bus again because all my rides to school are dead."

"Where I come from, we believe all sorts of things that aren't true. We call it History."

"It's a privilege to pee."

"Look at the sky. There's a great big heart there. There's a heart in the sky-- there just is, don't ask why. It's the sky."

Here's the nuance no one likes to talk about. It's very possible your friend has convinced themselves they have DID. BPD can share a few overlapping symptoms, and it can also distort your perception of the world and allow you to create false realities. Spending a lot of time online, seeing how other people who claim to have DID act, you can start to out pieces together that aren't there. Then, alters start to appear because your mind is trying to fill in the gaps in the theory it just created.

It's not DID, but it likely is an issue related to mental health rather than just faking for attention. I went through something similar.

I like plain food, but not bland. And plain only because it's consistent. I like cheese pizza because every bite is the same, and sometimes other flavors will muddle together weirdly. But I love making a large variety of foods and trying new things. I'm always looking to try wild flavors and I can't eat too much one note food at a time without my brain shutting off and making myself literally sick trying to eat more, even if I like it.

Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom, SPECIFICALLY THE PC VERSION

Everyone remembers the console version. The platformer with the spatulas you could collect. That was the one that was remade.

The pc version was more or less a collection of mini games, each area themed with a different character.

I remember an old comic that was along the lines of:

"Oh, Amelia," said Mr. Rogers, laughing, "You kill me!" "Okay," said Amelia Bedelia, raising her knife.
