But no, I don’t think that was intentionally designed into the game. They had a unique ‘savegame’ format that didn’t use battery save.
Instead, they used a 48 character table, where each character could be any of 32 different possible characters, where the player was expected to write all this down and re-enter it back in on reload.
But it was checked with some checsum characters at the end(s), making it rather difficult to make a full hack savegame.
Strangely enough though, their own chesksum algorithm 3P5 repeated as such exactly 8 times manages to unlock all 4 characters, max them out, and even defeat the checksum field without even having to bother with it.
So when you next take the SNES LOTR journey, take the power of 3P5 with you…
Old craftsman or new? Because if new you might not be Craftsman very long. Old craftsman tools will outlive us all and if you can find them at a garage sale, buy em.
For what i use them for my craftsman electric cordless set does the job. Thats what I want in a tool. They have done the job for 5 years now no problems.
I don’t understand the Jenny hate. Did they expect her to stay with Forrest and wait for him at home just baking pies and listening to the radio while he went off to war, sailed his shrimp boat, toured as a ping pong champion, and then just fucked off to go running for two years?
Gump and Jenny were both rolling stones. She wanted to be free, and fly far far away from the home where she was abused. She wanted her own adventures. Gump was her best friend, but she didn’t have the capacity for the relationship he wanted.
Also she was clearly suffering from really bad ptsd from their childhood and not coping well. Her whole life was basically her version of the years of running until she had a kid
I understand people not looking at Jenny critically enough. She was abused and damaged in at least one way and obviously didn’t act rationally as a result.
As for Forrest, all he wanted was her. Yes, he would have still gone off to war like most young men at the time, but he would have taken her with him on the shrimp boat. Or abandoned that plan, if she asked. He probably wouldn’t have devoted as much time practicing ping pong and he definitely wouldn’t have been so disillusioned with the world to go running for 2 years straight.
For better or worse, Forrest focused on his pursuits and achievements, because Jenny never really accepted or chose him when she had the chance.
What’s irrational? She chose to go live an independent life. She might not have made the best choices, but just because Forrest was in love with her doesn’t mean it would have been rational to stay with him. They were best friends as kids because he was devoted to her, and she had nobody in her life she could trust.
Maybe a part of her felt like she would be taking adavantage of Forrest?
Maybe ahe felt like she didn’t deserve his devotion?
Maybe she was scared to love someone and get hurt? Or watch him abandon his dreams to support her? Or watch him grow up and change?
Whatever the reason, it was her choice. A lot of the criticism feels like incels mad that she made a choice at all. She doesn’t owe Forrest her love. He’s not entitiled to her presence just because he’s a good guy.
Jenny was molested as a child by her dad, and though she loved forrest, when she slept with him, she felt like she molested him because of his condition. This caused her to run away and fall back into self loathing and drugs, thinking she just became her own father. She loved Forrest more than anything, that’s why she stayed away, because she was a ticking time bomb and didn’t want to hurt him. When she found out she was dying she accepted her love for Forrest and realized he was the only good person in her life, and the only one she trusted to raise their son
Thank you, that clears it up. I saw the movie several times as a kid, and haven’t watched it in a long time. I never made the connection as to why she left the next morning.
You show me an identical situation where the gender roles are flipped, and I’ll have an opinion on it.
For the record, I think Jenny was extremely gross for what she did (I’m uniquely qualified to comment on this) but the entire point of the story is that it’s nuanced and complex. And far more nuanced and complex than "every time someone says a girl is a sympathetic character, I have to change the entire discussion to but men!"
Not sure why you were downvoted, but this is always how I saw it. Jenny wasn’t the terrible person she’s so often been made out to be, she was deeply broken and dealing with massive trauma, of course she’s going to act irrationally.
She’s an amazing character with so much depth that most people just reduce to ‘that selfish bitch’. It irks me.
It irks me too. The scene where she’s contemplating killing herself while freebird plays isn’t subtle at all about her state of mind and where her life has got her. Yet some people seem incapable of actually understanding that Jenny isn’t hateful to Forrest and is a flawed human being.
It comes from a feeling of ownership, where she isn’t considered past gender norms. As society has become less attached to antiquated ideas and more cognizant of trauma, the oversimplification of Jenny’s character has died down. It’s really a pretty neat societal study.
I swear they keep this character in their back pocket when no actual women have done anything to womanhate about lately. I guess Christmas has been quiet for them.
Forrest Gump is one of the many stories that could use two viewpoints from both the guy and the girl like they did in 500 Days of Summer or The Affair. It’s much easier to sympathize with someone when you get to see the story the way they experience it.
The joke is the same as in the picture. As in: since I’m having so much trouble opening this bag I will never get to my car because I’ll be stuck here trying to open this bag. Hope that helps!
The produce bag rolls at most stores around me are compostable now. They are also breathable and will keep the produce fresh longer when left in the bag.
The “waste” is negligible; doing some napkin math, a 20 minute car ride accounts for 300 times higher carbon footprint than a plastic produce bag (can elaborate if you want). A reused mesh bag is going to be less hygienic and less convenient, and factoring in the higher footprint of production and distribution (produce bags come in packs of thousands) you would need to get a lot of reuse out of it to even be worth it. Considering impact of disposal, as long as you live somewhere that has sane waste disposal and doesn’t empty their trash into the ocean it’s not going to be significant either.
People need to get some perspective on plastic waste. I’ve seen no end of complaints about how my 3d printing hobby is responsible for climate change… In my country, we produce >200 kg of plastic per capita. My 1kg spool of vegetable-derived plastic is not to blame for passing 3°.
I think it’s just since it is a visible thing, and because alternatives are products you can buy and be seen using, it becomes a prime target for scolding and virtue signalling.
It’s like complaining about a phone charger being left in the socket when the windows are open with the AC on.
Those produce bags weigh like 1/4 of a gram. Those produce reusable bags weigh like 30 grams. Most people lose or break, or toss the reusable produce bags before using them 120 times. It’s feel good bullshit for high consuming Whole Foods shoppers. And it’s a distraction.
To be clear, I’m all for reusable grocery bags, and generally against single use items. But the produce bags are so thin and light, they’re probably the least problematic.
