Final bit on that Castlevania clear btw. There's been so many times I've listened to @caneandrinse.com talk about an old game, and it's inspired me to get a good clear on it. The right clear is just around the corner, you've just got to go get it. Great bunch of folks. Always a pleasure.

Watching football that you arent emotionally invested in while also playing video games is a top tier combo. Browns v Steelers while also enjoying Link Between Worlds is peak livin'.
