The real answer is Tomb Raider III, which came out on November 20th, 1998, seven months before Ape Escape and two years before Alien Resurrection. There it is right in the manual: RIGHT STICK - Look

Please point to the white, middle class culture in the images You have been misled about what an actual, scientific, standardized IQ test in modern times actually looks like. You are parroting old observations about old biases that aren’t relevant to modern science and haven’t been for some time

Yeah, sure, Best Buy, those controllers for three completely different, incompatible platforms are totally “similar.” Whatever you say

The Skytree in general is also just delightful. There’s a nice, cute, easily overlooked aquarium there. When we went in June, we saw the penguins being fed and they were full of mischief. Also got a gachapon stamper I use all the time (it has jellyfish on it)

It’s hard to find the actual, original source on this one. In memory of Tim Curry, this is my favorite post about him

“The reason Michael Caine and Tim Curry are so good in their respective Muppet movies is that Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors, while Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow Muppet.”

Our next MG actually comes out in a few months, as does an MGSD. MG is rare now, but far from dead. It’s just that they’re all bangers now, so they take longer to make and we get fewer of them

We’ve never met in person, but we have both stood in the same place and looked at the same mecha in the same way and felt many of the same things about it. I think that’s pretty cool The world is unfathomably huge, and yet…

I accidentally un-transformed multiple parts multiple times, but eventually I got it to stand on its own. I think we’ve crossed the “too much stuff” line, but there are three pages left (and then decals). SO glad I have an action base for this one 😅 RG Unicorn Perfectibility #gunpla #ガンプラ #plamo
