Whatever happened to pizza pretzels?

Sobeys/Safeway used to have them, and then I could only find them at gas stations... but I haven't seen them in years; they were sooo tasty

Are there any mobs/enemies/etc that are tanks/walls, but have high speed?

The defensive archetype is typically big beefy hard rock/metal defensive bulwarks with no speed.

So, certainly there's gotta be a rare exception with a high-speed wall/tank, right? Perhaps they sacrifice even more attack or have a critical weakness to get that speed... and they use that speed for buffs/debuffs/or team cover type abilities (although in games like pokemon such defensive abilities usually have a priority flag so speed doesn't matter in the first place)

...

I'll give an obvious non-example, the Metal Slime. The Metal Slime is a defensive lord thanks to its high speed, but it's hardly a tank.

Is there an investment adjacent thingy one could buy that doesn't immediately count as an asset?

Here's the summary; I'm on Alberta handicapped allowance and I have a relatively (for people on AISH) large savings account getting close to $60k

However, if my total assets were are over $100k I don't think I get AISH benefits anymore, maybe, I'm not fully versed.

I'm a frugal ascetic person so it's relatively easy for me to save money and I am super grateful for AISH as it lets me exist, like, at all... so I don't want to potentially face an existential threat because I DON'T waste money... yaknow?

Like, what if I was at $99k in savings and I spent my entire AISH cheque on booze to give away to strangers just so my account doesn't go over, that's incredibly irresponsible.

So; I'm looking for something I could invest in or buy that I don't have to declare as an asset just by holding it... selling it, sure, naturally, I'm not trying to fraud anyone here I just don't know what I'm expected to do when I get to the asset cap other than, like I jokingly said, throw irresponsible money around just to stay under the limit.

Alternatively someone could assuage my fears that there is no actual asset cap and I can live as I am just fine.

What's going on in this song? (Healer by Ghost of Maine)

Link: https://youtu.be/jZdv4Uj_u1Q

Starting at about 0:48 through to about 0:56~0:58... there's something magic that happens in the middle

What other songs do that?

I'm having trouble finding a 32 bit Windows installation of Java

I need it to get Puzzle Pirates to work in Windows XP compatibility mode

Things I tried: I went to the Java page and checked legacy versions, but could only find x64 installers. I also googled what the latest 32bit installation is and the dumb googleAI said it's SE 24, but I didn't see a non x64 installation for that version either.

Alternate solutions: A way to force a specific javaw (in this case, Puzzle Pirates) into Windows XP compatibility mode... not sure why it isn't there to begin with, it only goes back to Windows Vista ever since updated to SE 26

Alternative Alternate solution: Figure out why it's crashing in the first place cuz IDK. Their Java version is 25.0.1.0 if applicable

Help me find a piece of background art (Temple of the Art most likely)

I'm testing a hypothesis; in the Temple of the Art there is a background graphic of 3 masters holding orbs, and another background graphic of a broken master

I hypothesize there is a 5th statue... and I wanna find it; or if it's already been found, screencap for analysis.

No reason topic about Super Black Onyx

What even is this game?

It's a first person party based dungeon crawler and... that's all I know. I had it as a kid, only recently discovered it was never released here and retrospectively realize I had a bootleg multicart.

You can get various weapons and armour to dress up your dudes, but I never really figured out what's what. I had no idea what the goal was, what the equipment did (in a more statistically precise meaning) or how combat worked (aside from floating gavel = damage)

...and I hated it

It's not on my worst games on the NES list, but it is probably the worst game on the list that can be gatekeepingly referred to as a 'real game'

...

Now, I know full well I could watch a walkthrough or a speedrun or read a gamefaq on it... but I just wanted to see what other people thought about this weird-ass game

What's the rarest item in a video game?

I'm mostly referring to item drops in games with RPG mechanics.

Based on unmodded/uncheated gameplay of course.

Things I'm NOT counting tho are stuff like perfect rolls; for example if a Diablo style game had an item with 12 modifiers on it and each modifier had a 1 in a million chance to be the right one and and a 1 in a million chance to be at max value... that is certainly absurdly rare, but it's not what I'm talking about.

Things I am talking about are stuff like the Sealed J-Sword from Phantasy Star Online which not only has a low drop chance, it's from a very uncommon enemy and you have to meet special conditions to even be allowed to see it (Be a Skyly ID, if you know)

I'm also excluding stuff that is developer or event driven, such as certain wholly unique event items or moderator/GM exclusives that were gifted and such... it has to be something that one of y'alls could go and go legitimately farm right now (assuming the game is still playable)

Quicky mechanic idea: Yaknow how lots of zelda-style adventure games have hint blocks?

There's the gossip stones in Zelda 64 for example.

Well, in a game where you can push/pull/lift said objects it's usually to push a button or just for fun like throwing them in the ocean.

Here's the idea, since it's not something I ever seen before; What if you pushed/dropped/whatever one onto a save point/HP restore point or other similar landmark to get additional hints? It's the kind of mechanic that could be kept very secret until you notice it's possible and then suddenly you have to backtrack to find out doing so is a puzzle in and of itself; since why would you think to move a hint stone somewhere after you've already talked to it?

Yet Another Glyphosate Topic~! Cancer yay/nay

So, does Roundup cause cancer or not?

I've seen studies for both sides; In a weird comedy my personal conclusion seems to be that glyphosate does not cause cancer, but Roundup still does somehow... that's the only thing that fits my tiny pool of facts.

...

So, I'm looking for a pool of experts... you guys!

It doesn't help my personal case either that the last study I dove in on wasn't even about glyphosate it was about the BT in BT Cotton :/

Doom 64: Do rockets do more/less/same damage in Doom 64 than regular?

I know the core weapon stats are the same, however the hitboxes of enemies in Doom 64 are slightly larger; which means a collision will result in the rocket being slightly farther away... maybe?
