Yes, but I had rented it at Blockbuster and so I didn’t get anywhere close to beating it! But I remember liking it so I was going to try it after I beat the second game

That sounds like the very first game, which was more like a raising digimon game. You had to like run your digimon on a treadmill or something to get its stats up. I was actually going to potentially play that one next!

Unciv is a Civ 5 remake with simplified graphics. Its a lot of fun but the AI is brutal.

I downloaded an emulator and have been playing Digimon World 2. It’s a game I used to play as a wee lad and never even came close to beating.

Now it’s like the end credits of Step Brothers. I’m here to kick its ass on the playground.

One example comes to mind where I almost did.

I used to drive an older Pontiac. It wasn’t the fanciest car, so it wasn’t the most performant.

One day, I was leaving a restaurant with a girl I was dating, and had to merge into traffic up a hill. I knew the car would need all the power it could get to do the merge safely, so I turned off the air-conditioning. Confused, the girl asked why I did that. I explained that air conditioning affects the performance of the car. She disagreed. She was raised a bit privileged and had only ever driven nice cars, so never noticed the performance hit of having the A/C on.

We bickered back and forth for a minute or two before I said “okay look I’ll show you” and reached to turn off the A/C. Before I could, however, she hit me with “you know, you don’t always have to be right”. I didn’t end up getting to prove it to her.

In her defense, I can be very stubborn when its something I am confident I’m correct in, and we actually argued a lot about stuff. Another example of an argument we had was over the fact that prairie dogs can carry the plague. She didn’t believe me and I remember we had to look up the answer. And that was on our second date.

I think about that line she hit me with a lot. But I also realize that in a lot of our “arguments” I was still having fun. To me, there’s a playful aspect to a good argument. As long as nobody is yelling or getting feelings hurt, it’s a fun way to pass the time. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize she wasn’t having fun like I was.

I think you’d have better luck with the “corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures” one instead

That gen 1 of Pokemon didn’t have compound types (i.e. Pokemon with two types). In reality they did
