fun fact: the word "prosthetic" comes from the greek word πρόσθεση (prosthesi[1]), meaning addition

fun fact: the auto- prefix (e.g. automobile, autodefenestration, etc.), means "self" in English. But in Greek (at least, Modern Greek), "αυτό" just means "it" (3rd person neuter singular pronoun) and is pronounced "afto"

fun fact: "diaeresis" (those two dots on ä ë ï ö ü (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GERMAN'S UMLAUT. VERY DIFFERENT THINGS), example: naïve) comes from the Greek word διαίρεση (dieresi[1][2]), meaning "division"

fun fact: there is a word in Spanish for "pulling an all-nighter", "trasnochar". It comes from "trans" (happy pride month), meaning "across", and "noche", meaning "night". Because you're staying awake across the entire night

fun fac-

No one asked, but here's a mod that lets you do flips (does not come with cosmetic changes as seen in the gif, just somersaulting capability)

took me longer to make the video than it did to make the mod download is in the desc of the video

Modding is really fun

i keep hearing people talk about shadow being at aldi's so uh

shadow 05 endings but he goes to aldi's

rouge gives shadow a shopping list.

pure-dark dark: he blows up every grocery store except aldi's

pure-dark hero: he becomes the COO of aldi's (second in command to the CEO)

semi-dark dark: he becomes a cashier at aldi's

semi-dark hero: shadow basically says "fuck the shopping list, i buy what what i want. I and only I know what is best."

neutral dark: he buys stuff at aldi's, then kills eggman

neutral hero: he buys stuff at aldi's, then kills eggman, but omega tagged along

semi-hero dark: too many distractions caused him to lose his shopping list, so he doesn't know what to buy. he stays in aldi's for the rest of his life trying to remember what he needed to get.

semi-hero hero: too many distractions caused him to lose his shopping list, so he doesn't know what to buy. he leaves aldi's empty-handed in shame.

pure-hero dark: he beats up sonic in the parking lot

pure-hero hero: after buying what he needed to, he vows to topple the CEO of capitalism

final: he beats up the CEO of Aldi's, i guess

almost dead:

no more gods, no more graves, are you friend or fiend?

no more life, no more death, somewhere in Aldi's.

no more gods, no more graves, are you friend or fiend?

no more life, no more death, somewhere in Aldi's!

well we're almost dead, almost dead

almost dead to the world!

almost dead, almost dead

almost dead to the world

Target can't save us, Walmart's a joke, no place left to go

what you see, you cannot believe, but with the price you'll know!

well we're almost dead, almost dead

almost dead to the world!

almost dead, almost dead

almost dead to the world!

[repeat chorus 2× im not writing that]

well we're almost dead!

waking up:

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

cart sounds, a distant roll behind you

as you try to clear your head.

you start to look and answers find you

your inner purpose lies ahead.

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

one step to calm the storm inside you

unlock the trolley with your coin.

not another list, no more confusion.

no more buying tenderloins.

it seems it's just out of reach

the ones who come first always get their way

but i think they should know

i'm coming for their cart!

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

I've turned everything upside down.

Never Turn Back:

it's been a long rough road and im finally here

move an inch forward, feels like a year

everything i feel seems so unreal

is it true? is it true?

i move one aisle left and two aisles right

got some weight in my cart, certainly ain't light

up, down, all around, dont know quite what to do

to get through

but im on my way (on my way, on my way, on my way)

here i am (here i am)

made it to the end of the queue

never had a chance while im around

no! no! no, no, no, no!

and now ill never come back (ill never come back)

ill never go that way

no matter where life tries to send me

i turn the other way!

now and then, my head starts to spin

but they ran out of aspirin! (no! no!)

from this moment on, i am moving on

and ill never come back again!

i guess im doing alright and im on my way

facing every moment day by day

take a chance, slip on by, got no time to answer why

head straight, i head straight.

and what will i become if i dont come back?

give myself a reason for this and that

i can learn, no u-turn, got to stay right here

where im at, where im at!

but im on my way (on my way, on my way, on my way)

here i am (here i am)

made it to the end of the queue

never had a chance while im around

no! no! (no, no, no, no)

and now ill never come back (ill never come back)

ill never go that way

no matter where life tries to send me

i turn the other way!

now and then, my head starts to spin

but they ran out of aspirin! (no! no!)

from this moment on, i am moving on

and ill never come back, no!

ill, ill, ill never come back!

oh babygirl will you be the red/blue to my rescue team

The music instrument samples used by Koji Kondo when he composed the Super Mario World soundtrack were all taken from commercially available sources, and simply reduced in quality to be playable on a SNES.

After many years of searching, video game music enthusiasts were able to track down all original samples in their source quality, allowing the tracks to be restored to the form they could have had if the SNES were able to use high-quality samples. In this post, the restored version of the Castle/Fortress music can be heard.
