Dreamcast ads got real weird. I vividly remember this one ad for Seaman: It showed a pair of feet and a fish tail sticking out from under a blanket. The accompanying text was "I will not mate outside my own species " repeated several times.
The aviation nerd in me wants everyone to know that's actually a picture of a completely different plane. I'm pretty sure that's a Douglas C-47 Skytrain.
I’m 6-7. I’m at my grandparents house. He’s got one of those old-timey Pong consoles that you plug into the TV; it had like 5-6 different ‘sport’ modes (Tennis, Squash etc etc), but ultimately it was still a few pixels moving up and down or maybe left and right....
The first game I can remember playing was Desert Demolition: Starring Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote on Sega Genesis. I don't really remember the gameplay well. I still have the game (with the box and manual), but it's stored away somewhere (probably a bin in my closet).
I used to play PSO V2 regularly until my game broke, and while considering returning to the game I am considering downgrading to V1 to save money and because it’s more common on eBay than the upgraded version I still have....
You can't edit the post on someone else's blog, but you can when reblogging it to your own. This means that anyone who rebloggs the post from you, someone who reblogged from them, or anyone else down the chain will retain your edits. It was really popular to do this to John Green.
It just stops. The story I heard about why was because the author was afraid of dying and leaving it unfinished, so he just stopped and effectively left it unfinished.
The game that stands out to me is Fallout 4. The new dialogue system only hinted at what the protagonist was going to say with vague choices like “sarcastic” and that led me to reload saves frequently to either check out other options or because the protagonist came off as way too intense an railroaded me down a conversation...
It's so easy to setup and you get so much out of it. I personally recommend Project+. It adds new characters, costumes, stages, music, Melee-like gameplay and more.
Animals are great! They’re adorable, they’re fun, they’re cuddly, and they just bring a lot of positives to our lives. But sometimes, they can do things that drive us absolutely nuts....
My late grandmother's Bichon/Maltese mix would scream at you while you were eating until you either finished or gave her something. My grandmother insisted that she never fed the dog from the table, despite the fact that she gave the dog her leftovers almost every meal.

Adding some recommendations of my own (all games are otome, intended for a female audience, unless otherwise stated):
Code: Realize and its fandisks (also available on Vita and PS4)
Hakuoki (Switch version coming soon, already available on multiple other systems)
Collar x Malice (the main game is also on Vita, but the fandisk is only in English on Switch)
Steam Prison (also on PC)
Nightshade
Fate/ stay night Remastered (not otome, coming soon, literally announced today as it's the game's 20th anniversary)
Tsukihime Remake (releases in English this Summer, not otome)
Additionally I'll leave Amnesia: Memories as a title I do not recommend at all. The only route I kind of liked was Shin's. As for Toma's route, the less said, the better.
Okay let me start with two heavy hitters right from the get go and don’t forget these are only personal oppinions and I absolute understand if you like those games. Good for you!...
Almost anything first person. It makes me incredibly nauseous, which is really unfortunate because there are some really neat games that use the mechanic. I recently sold my copy of Echo Night since I couldn't play for more than around ten minutes at a time. I also couldn't complete the tutorial in Half-Life because it made me so nauseous that I had to spend almost the entire day in bed. Weirdly I'm perfectly fine with Metroid Prime.
The filter list you provided hasn't been updated in two years. I checked out the forks and this one is more recent (it has around twenty more entries).
In 1990 British Airways 5390 suffered an explosive decompression when a cockpit window blew out due to improper maintenance. The force of the decompression partially pulled the captain out the window pinning him to the fuselage while his feet were caught on the control column. Thanks to the efforts of the first officer and flight attendants the plane was able to land safely around twenty minutes later. There were no fatalities.
Ape Escape is an important franchise for PlayStation. It was Sony’s first big hit that they owned 100% of. It was one of Japan Studio’s first games. It served as one of PlayStation’s mascots for over a decade. And there were great games in this series.
I'm still salty about not getting an English release of Million Monkeys. On another note, Ape Escape Move was such a missed opportunity. Ape Escape's gameplay was just asking for (preferably optional) motion controls, but instead they made a rail shooter.
It's almost always better to not buy a cheap sex toy. There's no regulation of the industry and many materials in cheaper toys are just straight up dangerous. Here's an article (it's NSFW, there are pictures) that goes over what materials are and aren't safe.

I honestly think this is actually logically consistent with an anti-abortion position.
His issue is that IVF creates multiple embryos, but not all of them are implanted. Instead the extras are either frozen or destroyed and following anti-abortion logic, that would be incarceration or murder respectively.
Just for the record, I don't agree with the guy. I'm just in awe of this tiny sliver of logical consistency from a Republican. It's like seeing a rare animal years after it was considered extinct.
I tried the demo for the fourth one and just didn't really like or get it. A couple years later Atlus announced Persona Q (which has mostly the same gameplay as Etrian Odyssey) so, I decided to give the demo another try and it just clicked this time. I have no idea why I didn't like it the first time around.
All you have to do is download the APK from the F-Droid website and enable installing from third-party/unknown sources in the Settings app (some versions of Android ask automatically when you try to open the APK). I also recommend disabling unknown sources for your browser once you're done as a security measure.
