How is the game becoming f2p equivalent to it being taken away from you?
Oh, it's not. The game being removed from my library is equivalent to it being taken away from me.

I had no idea, lmao. Do you mean Somari? That's all I can find when searching for it, seems like these days someone has hacked the original Somari rom into a pretty solid recreation of Sonic The Hedgehog. But the original is, by all accounts, extremely bootleg.
Thats actually pretty cool, not gonna lie. Having an earlier introduction to bootleg gaming and rom hacks might have pushed my life path in a very different direction.
Second that. They don't call 'em Nintendo Hard for nothing.
Hell, I've been playing Super Ghouls N' Ghosts for damn near 25 years now off and on, and I still can't beat that mfer without save states. And that's a whole gaming generation ahead of this one, where the console actually supported saves, and games didn't really have to be as hard anymore to make back their money.
Early Kirby games in general seemed pretty easy coming off the Super Mario Bros games. I had Kirby's Dreamland on the Gameboy and I remember thinking about how Kirby could just inflate and float over half the enemies in the first half of the game. It got a little more technical later on but I don't think I ever really struggled to beat the game, even when very young.
In fact, growing up on the hard knocks of SMB led to some spirited conversations with my friends about Sonic the Hedgehog, as well. In Sonic as long as you have a single ring in your pocket you're immortal, and if you get hit just pick the ring back up. In Mario, if you get hit, you just fuckin' die. Maybe with one extra chance if you had a mushroom, but you don't get that second chance back until you find a new one. Now as an adult I realize the design spaces of the two games were different - Mario was actually intended to be a reasonably difficult platformer, where Sonic was arguably less about the precision platforming and more about just having fun going fast as fuck, boi. But as a kid you better believe I took every available opportunity to call Sonic fans casuals. It made me lots of friends, as you may imagine.
I got banned from there for posting a verbatim Trump tweet with no words of my own included. Never seen a bigger group of melting snowflakes in my life than the "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd.
Well that's just the thing though. People (allegedly) used to do loads of magic, now they dont. Makes sense the spells and rituals would be in the language of the time.
Also lots of the books and grimoires we still have access to are in Latin or translated from Latin. So there's a connection there too.
Perhaps. I am American, after all, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. But I view pretzels the same way I view tortilla chips - a bad chip can ruin a pairing, but a good chip will serve as a vehicle for salsa and otherwise stay out of the way of the experience. Pretzels are the same with their salt to me. The bread part, so long as it is prepared properly, is mostly structural. I'm here to eat the rocks.
The pretzel itself is unimportant so long as it can serve as a vehicle for big rocks of salt.

At the rate we're going we'll be lucky if we aren't all dead in 250 years, let alone 250 million.
