That's not at all how I read.  Yeah, they probably should have used a colon or em-dash, but people use hyphens in place of dashes all the time, and I don't think it's common for people to list "bundles" with parts subtracted.

It's still incorrect. Plus, if you ever write "A - B + C" (white-space counted), it's weird for "-" to not be a minus sign.  Also, I was joking; I obviously knew what they meant.  But when I first saw it, I immediately thought the "-" was a minus sign (like, on initial glance).

I should mention that if you found this grammatical problem amusing, you will probably love the humor in Undertale.

Maybe that was their point all along!

I tried Undertale because of the good buzz it was getting, but it actively turned me off. I guess I was expecting something kinda relaxing to play when not in the mood for something requiring a lot of focus, so the twitch-based combat really drove me off, especially when combined with the lack of much tutorial. But I've never been a huge fan of JRPGs. (I still enjoy Chrono Trigger whenever I've revisited it, but it notably omits random encounters, which I can't stand.)

It's around a 3rd of the way through the semester and I'm already staying up until 4 am. The struggle is real...

I didn't even need the excuse of school to stay up until 4 AM. Now I can't stay awake past 1 AM anymore. Although getting up at 5 AM may have contributed to that.

Seconded.  We usually went out to eat around 1:30 a.m.  It's nice to have truck stops nearby.

I'm pretty sure Everquest (and some occasional Diablo II) was far more complicit in my staying up until 4AM than schoolwork ever was.

Many of my Google Docs now say "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist." when I try to access them.  They were working fine yesterday.  I am the only one who could have deleted them, and I didn't.  They still show up in My Drive too, but I just can't open them.

I have found some help requests about this exact problem in the Google Docs forums, but they fill me with dread because they all end unresolved.  :(

Edit: looks like it's not just me.  OK then.

pacovf has a neopets account.  It has 999 hours logged.  All his neopets are named "Jessica".  I guess that must be his ex.

Probably. I would be pretty surprised if there was nobody in Toronto for Halloween.

"That's in the 19th percentile. That's really high."

Between this and showing two computer experts stopping a hacker by both pounding on the same keyboard, how is NCIS not ranked as the worst show ever?

Don't you know better than to pick up a duck in a dungeon?

Cool, I didn't know that. Should we add it to the wiki?

If you're thinking about a goddess with an impractical blue ribbon, then yes. But also playing on the Munchkin reference.
