I had one where I dreamed I was in my bedroom, and there was some bright shiny...thing?...on my floor. Like a glowing dot, too bright to make out any details. So I went over and picked it up; it was maybe the size of a marble. I could start to see through the light and make out a few details, but kept putting it closer and closer to my face to try and get a better view. Soon, it was clear that it was my bedroom, and when I had the thing almost right at my eyeballs, I realized my eyes were open and I was awake.

So I guess I was slowly opening my eyes, but dreaming "around" the tunnel vision? Super strange experience.

Having never owned a Ferrari, if I were to buy one, I'd think that letting fucking everyone know it's a Ferrari is an essential part of the experience. The (Ferrari-supplied) performance specs look fine, but at that price, it had better be turning heads from miles away, not just the occupants.

"Testing your faith" sounds like tricking people into not believing. Which is exactly what they accuse their devil of doing. This god sounds like kind of an asshole.

Active Time Battle (ATB) was under patent until 2010.

Games are just software, and software patents are definitely (and unfortunately) a thing.

Guess I'll have to limit myself to the 10,000 other games to play on PC, then.

I'm pretty sure she likes me already. Enough to stick around for the last 25+ years, anyway.

I once worked for a CFO who used the word "phenomenal" so much that a drinking game around that word would be classified as a mass casualty event.
