Ah, typo sorry, I was thinking nes when I wrote that, but my fingers must have had their own idea.

I didn’t even realise this was released for the snes! Fond memories of it on the spectrum. Might need to crank up the old emulator when I get the time.
I’ve always had mountain bikes. Most recently got a 29er. I don’t ride much these days, but feel like a road bike might get me out more.
I only have the one pair of darn tough socks, but they’re fantastic, might ask for more from santa this year.
After seeing your comment I went and checked when I got my Logitech X-540 set, not quite as long, 14 years, but also still going strong. Probably far from ideal for an audiophile, but they’ve been fantastic for my needs and can still blast out great sound when they need to. Been hooked up to whatever media centre setup is on my TV since I got them, in fact they’ve been the only consistently connected piece of tech in that system in 14 years. Literally everything else has changed multiple times.
I hadn’t used FB for quite some time, when I finally tried to log in again, they wanted me to confirm who I was first with real ID.
Not to make a new account, just to access my existing account, of which I know the password, security answers, and could confirm ownership via my registered email account.
And that was the final nail in the coffin.
Fuck. No.
He’s a greedy little shit who’d rather run the entire platform into the ground for a buck than do anything useful with his life.
He could’ve done great things. He could’ve gone down in history shoulder to shoulder with some of the big guys, instead, he’s been a snivelling backstabbing little fungus from day 1.

There’s some countries that accept it as payment fairly widely, and a couple that have even properly adopted it iirc.
In general though, no, but it’s certainly usable globally and would get around OP’s problem if the recipient accepts it. And if OP can be bothered with the hassle of learning about it.
There’s also cryptocurrency. Not as invisible as many would have you believe, especially when KYC checks are involved, but there are definitely ways to stay hidden with it, by choosing certain exchanges, transfer methods, and currencies.
Not as straightforward of an answer as OP is probably hoping for though, and it also depends heavily on the recipient of the money.
You don’t always have control of calibration settings when you’re on someone else’s monitor, but at lest black always looks black and is still readable without selecting text to change it.
Also, as I said, not everyone uses the same shade of gray when building a web page/style/theme. In fact, far from it. Black however, is always black, one shade, 000000.
Agreed, night mode ftw. Isn’t supported everywhere but it’s great when it is!
The problem with that is that not all displays show the same colours and contrasts, so what looks like one shade on monitor A can look totally different on monitor B. Combine that with the massive number of sites that just have any old gray, as opposed to a specifically recognised dark gray, and you frequently end up with text appearing is light or mid gray.
When this happens, (which you notice a lot on certain monitors) the eye strain is faaaaar worse than a nice thin black text. I find myself pressing CTRL-A at times to highlight everything on the page for a little more contrast, because the standard text is so unreadable.
At the moment, yep, completely agree.
In the future, maybe not so much. Think cloud gaming. Think VR. Think 4k per eye atm, scaled up as tech improvements scale up to much higher resolutions than we currently have. Maybe multiple people streaming VR games at the same time in the same household.
Now put all of that together.
Bandwidth isn’t an issue right now, but this could potentially be a pretty sweet improvement as we move forward.
Video conferencing however… Not sure how that would benefit from this.
… And you end up accidently clicking a button that was previously above, and landing on a page you didn’t even want to see!
White background & gray text.
When did we shift away from black text?
There’s less contrast with gray, and on a lot of displays it’s more difficult to read, and more straining on the eyes.
It sounds like you’re coming at science from a religious or philosophical standing, and blurring the lines.
Science can explain and account for everything in life, whether you understand it or not.
There are plenty of things that we as humans do not yet understand, but it’s all still science.
The question of ‘why did this have to happen to me/them’ is completely null and void; it’s a question stemming from a belief system, not a scientific system.
Person X got cancer because they were genetically predisposed to it, or they encountered a environmental occurance that caused it. Person Y had a heart attack at 50 and died because they had a preexisting heart condition, or they were unhealthy, or an environmental incident occurred that initied it.
The philosophy of it is not scientific, it’s philosophical and has no valid place in a scientific explanation.
Discussing philosophy can be thought provoking, entertaining, enraging, and enlightening all at the same time, but it’s totally different to discussing science.
As for coping strategies, accepting that some things are simply out of your control is a good place to start. Easier said than done at times, I know. We as humans gravitate towards belief, we’ve likely evolved to do that. But again, that’s science. Know your limits, understand that you won’t always have control, and accept things that are beyond your reach. Life won’t always be fun, but you’re the only person in charge of your own thoughts and feelings. Use that to your advantage whenever you can.
Prime gaslighting opportunity right there
The Water Temple was a nightmare of a level. Easily the hardest point in the game. If you stick with it, the everything that comes after it seems relatively straightforward!
That being said, having finished the game multiple times many years ago, I played through Breath of the Wild then went back to Ocarina of Time, and it felt very dated. Lots of nostalgia, but the control system is that of a very primitive game by today’s standard for open worlds.
As for your question though, The Lost Levels in the Super Mario Allstars game. I’ve never gone back to it after all these years, might be worth trying again now with fresh eyes :)
Wish that was my worst case scenario
