Quote from: Lorenz Friedkin-Annen on Yesterday at 06:29:13 PMAlso, I'm just curious, but did you have an original copy?

I did. I was a kid when I played it, but I played it on the original system. We rented it from a store called Blockbuster. This was a store that rented video game cartridges and things called VHS tapes.

I know what blockbuster is
I also know what VHS tapes are.
Just because I am not in your generation doesn't mean I am illiterate when it comes to older technology...

When I was in Alaska we lived just up the road from one of the world's last two Blockbusters. Its closing was a big deal in 2018. Now the only one in existence is in Bend, Oregon apparently.

Lol, I know. I was just being silly. I think probably anyone who knows about Earthbound is familiar with a lot of other millennial stuff!

I was really big into Undertale, and found out that the creator was heavily influenced by Earthbound so I checked it out, and I don't regret doing so!

Quote from: Sir Ian Plätschisch on Yesterday at 06:05:14 PMAs is my custom when I complain about your preoccupation with BHAID, I have made a donation, this time to the Anglican Relief and Development Fund for flooding relief in Nepal.

As someone once told me...you're a good egg. Please complain more if it means donating to good causes, Ian. Thank you for your donation to the Anglican Relief and Development Fund.

The BHAID is usually allotted government funding to make donations as well. I view that activity as the government leading by example which increases the willingness and therefore likelihood of general Talossan giving. Considering the obvious need I don't think that is a bad thing.

It is also notable that Talossa is likely one of the few micronations in the world to do this kind of thing. I am as a Talossa proud of that fact, of my part in helping it come to be, and for the good example this is for other micronations.

Serious question, what exactly do you imagine the BHAID can accomplish other than just prodding people to donate their own private funds? Not that that's bad (depending on where it's going), but you seem to have a more grandiose idea of it.

As is my custom when I complain about your preoccupation with BHAID, I have made a donation, this time to the Anglican Relief and Development Fund for flooding relief in Nepal.

I LOVE the soundtrack of Earthbound. I haven't ever heard any other music like it, which is sad...

That's such a good game, not least because of how it exists as a kindly-meant Japanese parody of America at the time.  I remember playing it for hours -- a long time ago!  How did you hear about it?
