@Anti-Matter looks good!

@WoomyNNYes I really enjoyed it. The very first day or 2 starts a bit dull just cause you only get a very little bit to start with. But it gradually builds up as more and more opens up to you.

I never had an NES or a SNES. So I have a question. How is it pronounced? I’ve always pronounced each letter individually like “n-e-s” but Alex Olney says it as one word, “nes”. Have I been pronouncing it wrong my whole life?

We just said 'Nintendo' up until the GameCube.

Well, since the letters do stand for something, you're pronouncing it 'correctly', @BabyYoshi12 .... But I think most probably say it as a word, due to being easier & it's not like that's incorrect, either

@BabyYoshi12
I usually say NESS for Nintendo Entertainment System.
SNESS for SNES.
But i said Nintendo Sixty Four for N64.

When we were young we just called them "Nintendo" & "Super Nintendo" respectively, but if I had to pronounce them as an acronym it's always been spelled out "N E S" & "S N E S"

It wasn't until I really started following gaming stuff online that I heard them pronounced "Ness" & Sness" (the latter sounds particularly weird, IMO). Maybe it's a US vs UK thing, as I'm from the former, and usually hear the alternate pronunciation from Brits.

I somehow went from never ever seeing a shiny Magikarp in any Pokemon game, to catching 14 today in Pokemon Go.

That's a lot even for Community Day standards. I wonder if they made it even more common than usual?

@Eel Not-finding-shiny-pokemon makes baby jésus llorar That's pretty crazy, by the way, haha.
(llorar=cry in spanish, for anyone that doesn't know spanish)

@BabyYoshi12 We always pronounced them NEZ and SNEZ when I was a kid. In hindsight N-E-S and S-N-E-S makes more sense but I still think of them as the NEZ and SNEZ.

well...

@BabyYoshi12 I usually say NESS or SNESS. But sometimes I say N-E-S, Super-N-E-S, or S-N-E-S.

you know you pronounce sega genesis?
supreme brilliance.

@BabyYoshi12 I've always said "N-E-S" and "S-N-E-S" myself. Didn't know some people say "Ness" and "Sness" until later on when I heard someone on YouTube call the NES "Ness."

@KarateLuigi
Hi. ☺
I didn't see you very long time since December 2019.
Will you come back again ?

@Heavyarms55
Looks like a Tempe AZ restaurant has superman ice cream. 🤪 Pardon my enthusiasm for it. I totally stumbled upon this article. (anyone else reading, it's a regional ice cream flavor in Michigan. 3 flavors: vanilla, blue moon, black cherry. Colors are super man colors red, blue, yellow.)

@WoomyNNYes Ah... the return of the dreaded "Untitled" picture placeholder...
Pro tip: always take into account that even though you yourself can see the picture just fine, the image uploader might not always play nice with either a web site's protocol/HTML script or with viewers in other regions...

Which, by the way, is also why I always use PostImage, because so far, I've found that it's truly the only site that isn't affected by regions and/or web site protocols. And I've tried quite a few, I might add.

Anyway, here's a picture of the ice cream you mentioned, so people can at least see what you're talking about:

And apparently, Superman ice cream is popular in a lot of places, although they don't all stick to the same flavor recipe:

Both seem highly toxic to me, though. Far too artificially colored and/or flavored. I like my ice cream to be fresh, with non-lethal ingredients...

Certainly looks a bit too colourful to be purely natural but I'd try it to see what it tasted like .... Especially in the current hot weather!

Reminds me of the "Rainbow" flavor. That's usually a mix of super sweet and sour fruity flavors. So it's certainly not for everyone.

Tbh it's probably not any more or less toxic than your regular brand-name ice cream.
