I know this is a cliche, but if you're ever having trouble believing in yourself then trust in this tiny octopus that believes in you. Also me. I belive in you. You got this.

Here's my 100% certain line up. Saber swings between Void, Takeru, and Beni-Enma. Lancer will probably be 5*Liz, but not sure if 4*Liz or Ryouma should hold until then. Berserker is leaning Sen no Rikyu, but waiting to see how I vibe w/ Louhi before locking in. 2nd Extra too debated to list.

Yeah, early Mokuba was such a different beast than what he became after the series went through the full card game pivot.

I expect that they all assume they'll be able to just replace human staff with robots.

I think it's less common nowadays, but it's a bit of a stylistic sterotype.

If her cockatrice looks similar to this, then I assume it's slices of the snake body.

Funny you mention Samus and Falco...

Normally, black and white paints can only be obtained randomly while having a Pokémon create other paint colors. I have heard you unlock unlimited stock for black paint in the PC shop if you raise Masara Town (the free-play area) to level 10, but that might just be a rumor.

Oh it's been like that for a LONG time now. This image is from a reddit post dated 10 years ago, and I swear I recall people talking about this same issue circa 2008. I think it boils down to the US school system, where 70% is technically passing but still socially treated as failure.

Apparently Tom was the cousin of Alex's mom, making Patricia a Second Cousin to Alex. Technically far enough apart to be generally legal, but still close enough to make a lot of people squeamish even before getting into any other concerns regarding them essentially being adopted siblings.

Barring something wierd with his evolutions, I feel compelled to pick him and name him Missile.

I've got a copy of Rogue Squadron if you still need one (also Megaman 64, which isn't on your list but is the only other N64 game I have not already in your collection). I no longer have a working console, so there's really not much use me holding onto them.

Settings -> Notifications There are a bunch of options for adjusting what interactions trigger a notification and what kind of notification you get.

This version of Babes in Toyland.

Looks good on my end.

Microsoft actually switched to Aptos being the default font a couple years ago (though a lot of documents will still use Calbiri due to having been reworked from an older document as a template instead of being recreated from scratch).

I may be thinking of this sword from TMS#FE (the Noble Rapier, if the FE wiki is accurate).

No but you see, technically Mt. Silver is on the Johto side of the border (the red dot on the right edge).

It's real, as is the next page where she calls out "Oregon Slash!!" while swinging a sword whose blade is literally just the text "OREGON".

Don't know how to isolate but I found this here: fightersgeneration.com/characters/f...

Tinkaton and Mawile currently tie for my #1. The fact that one is Fairy/Steel and the other is Steel/Fairy is a fun coincidence.

Supposedly it's supposed to be a reference to old tokusatsu where starfish aliens would be played by humans in costumes (leaning into how anime Staryu/mie make Ultraman-esque sounds), but like, the aliens in the image I've seen shared around clearly look significantly better than Mega Starmie does.

They let's us ride on Gankoomon's biceps, but won't let us be carried by the beautiful girls? Cowards!

KOS-MOS from Xenosaga (preferably either of the below designs from XS1 and XS3 respectively).

While not technically bald, I did find this painting of a very fat Bacchus (aka Roman Dionysus) that was painted ~1637. Can't say if it originated the idea, but it was probably at least a step in the idea spreading.
