Either way, get some help, see a doctor, ask friends/family someone, please!!!  This is legitimately concerning and I hope you are alright.  You shouldn't have to deal with any of this and should be seeking professional help in some manner.

I beat ghost lion just today. +1 of ?

Ghost Lion Done

Over halfway through ghost lion, probably well over half.  Not sure as i have never beat it!  Probably done tomorrow sometime, ill post the vids for proof.

Starting Ghost Lion, will come back to Little Nemo for my backlog, but if anyone else beats it in the meantime, have at it, i got to the final boss, didn't kill him, nightmare land **shudder**

I've tried it a bit, and yeah, it's tougher than it looks. I got stuck on the second level for about an hour before I called it a night. The animal companions are a cool gameplay mechanism, but their abilities are pretty limited. The game would be easy if they played like Yoshi or the Adventure Island sidekicks.

Ya, I rage quit this morning .  If each animal had a way to "attack" that would be super helpful, and it doesn't help that the game is unforgiving in the fact that it puts you back to the first part.  I am super good at the penguin boss though, but stage 2 is the worst with timing.

Working on Little Nemo, and nightmare land is to uh, say the least a......NIGHTMARE

Willow is Done.  Will update with 2 videos later, had to take a break and eat dinner in between dieing a whole bunch for some stupid mistakes during general kael and watching the madmartigan scene over and over........Such a long scene.......

I've never liked meatloaf. Every time I've had it it was pretty dry. But I've been reading / researching recipes, and I'm going to try to do it better. The other challenge is making it for one person. I'll need to do some division and adapting. 

Hope to give it a shot this weekend. 

Leftovers for days!!!!!!

I've never made one before but I've got a few recipes that look really good.  Just gotta figure out which one to go for...

Might I suggest a bacon wrap?  I heard a good smoked meatloaf that has been wrapped in bacon is delicious.

in a couple weeks I might do willow if it'd still around.  I got a dwr tourney and a bizhawk shuffle planned for this weekend and trying to sub hour space shuttle project, I am at 1:01:40 on that.  

anyway, if willow is available in the next few weeks consider it done shortly after.

Space Shuttle Project done, not sub hour yet, but 4 mins. off that, and working on it, stupid deaths here, so there is plenty of room to improve for a sub 1 hour run!  

Still processing, but it will be processed within the hour for proof.
@spacepup was there to watch it and can verify i beat it

Alright, so the cat's out of the bag and y'all know I'm not an expert on fast food.  I guess I'll live.   But what's the significance of    "The sauce came in a bag "   ???  Don't all fast food joints issue various sauces in little squeeze bags?

@RH That was an Epic History Lesson.  Well done, sir.  I guess I was under the impression that there were still a few actual Hardees lurking around somewhere, but a full on buyout makes more sense..

probably, there was no significance really, sometimes things came in cans lol

Weeeeeell, I got news for both of you to clarify that story.  Yes, Carls Jr. (a West/Mid-West brand) is the same company as Hardee’s out East.  BUT, it is NOT the Hardee’s of +25 years ago.

I remember the transition very well because it was my senior year of college and it was quite abrupt but the original Hardee’s chain was, I think, going bankrupt.  Carl’s Jr. bought the entire chain and basically killed everything about Hardee’s that made it Hardee’s. They temporarily shut down every store, refurbished the restaurants, dropping the Brown Blue and Orange Color scheme, and then re-launched with colors that matched Carl’s Jr. but just kept the old name and source their menu and food from CJs sources and not the original Hardee’s.

They sort of locally marketed it like “big, good chances are coming to Hardee’s” and, to be honest, it was an improvement.  But to make the switch more palatable and not as jarring, I think they kept a few, original Hardee’s menu items for a little while, like The Frisco Burger.

IMHO, original Hardee’s wasn’t as good as McDonalds but was on par with Wendy’s and more preferable than Burger King.  After the rebrand, Hardee’s was better but the prices were higher.  As a guy in college, this was a big deal and paying an extra $1.50-2.00 a meal was a lot. I’d say the upgrade was a wash in changing my opinion but they did have one menu item that kept me going in every time I passed by one half-way between Athens, GA and my college town—Sliders!

For having a premium, FF priced menu, the slider was something like Crystal/White Castle burger but these things had real, teeny meat patties.  Those other mini burger joints gave you scab-like squares of “meat”, but not those Hardee’s sliders! They were full, mini-burgers with a little ketchup and mustard, and I think they were $0.75 each! I’d get three of those and call it a meal and that worked well on a tight budget!

But all that to say, if you’ve not eaten at Hardee’s in +25 years, then though the name exists still, that chain is dead.  Carl’s wiped the character and nature of that restaurant of the face of the planet when they bought it and at this point you probably won’t find more than a small head-nod to the original Hardee’s menu and even if that exists, it’s probably similar but not the same.

I didn't work there till 1999, apparently 1997 was buyout, I was 16, but thought it was only Hardee's, didn't find out till later about cjs

imagine not knowing Carl's Jr. is Hardee's, jk I didn't know at first, but I did work at a Hardee's as a kid @PII

The sauce came in a bag

Working on getting a sub hour space shuttle project for a speedrun.  I will post here when I am done!

Also, @Jeevan you never voted 

...not that it matters because it's too late, I'm not spending 9 hours retooling 190 debate scores.

Dragon Warrior is done, unfortunately not a sub 6  

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2038014502

Climbed up the speedrun.com leaderboard by 5 places as soon as it is verified though.....

I'll be streaming dragon warrior speedrun most likely Friday night so it will be done then.

I'm more than half way done with Dragon Warrior 2, but 1, 3, and 4 are up for grabs.

I'll do the speedrun this weekend then

Is anyone doing dragon warrior?  I plan on doing a speedrun this week to see if i can get sub 6 and would knock it out in the process obviously.

In the right mood, I would probably tear 20 of these bad boys up.

I had the budget for 4 of them last night in my calorie count.  good stuff.  we usually dice the pickles, but I was being lazy, so just layered them on whole.

did you make this?

100% I made it, got all the ingredients from my local ALDI.  Need to figure out the spicy sauce for the next one.

Should have my retrotink back this next week, will work on some of these that I want to play  Stream and record so i can remember everything i need to to write about them.

Big Mac Wraps!

This thread is in desperate need of some Double-Downs. Lol.

I'd be interested in participating but as a meat-only eater, there's not much I can do.  My wife has came up with her own seasoning recipe to make grilled chicken strips that taste a LOT like Chic-fil-a, but without the breading.  I'll see if I can contribute that sad option.

Here ya go!  KFC Double Down.
