I think that was only in the arcade version. I don't think it made it to the SNES version.

They actually are in the SNES version.

I checked.

However, as I said, I don't feel like playing up to that point right now on the SNES version to prove it. It's like on level 3 or some shit.

Again, I can't be assed to play the game up to this point right now to take a sharper screenshot (for obvious reasons), so instead I had to briefly watch a Let's Play by an obnoxious meme spouting douchebag to snap a picture. And while the word can go either way since it has 2 definitions, the fact that they gambled someone taking the most more "questionable" meaning is mindboggling, especially when you consider how paranoid they were with censoring religion and anything remotely related to death.

I'm fairly surprised that this hasn't come to anyone's attention AT ALL for the past 2 decades or so that the game has been available (especially starmen.net faggots)... unless people are too intimidated by the people in this particular part of the game to even notice.

You're not seeing my point.

See, that particular part of the game consists of a bunch of people saying what can be considered utter nonsense, since there's no context to establish what the fuck is he talking about. The way he expresses himself is correct and coherent, but otherwise, he's not making any sense.

When I refered to "gambling", I meant that they relied on a word which could have been easily replaced by something else that did not alluded to something that, by Nintendo's standards, would not be questionable.

You are free to believe whatever you want to believe, though. That word has more than one meaning, and it was not I who decided it to be that way. Unfortunately for you, the way that particular piece of text was worded can lead people to believe either way.

"Didactically speaking, seminal evidence seems to explicate the fact that your repudiation of entropy supports my theory of space-time synthesis. Of this, I am irrefutably confident."

So basically, because I hate entropy (which can mean either of these 3 definitions courtesy of Merriam-Webster: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/entropy)), that's enough to support his theory. Very subjective. But what kind of evidence is he talking about anyways?

>>663229

The fact that we're arguing over what meaning that word has in such a vague and confusing context just goes to show oversight on editing and censorship.

>"You're free to believe whatever you want" too, you passive-aggressive twat

I did not mean it in that tone, my short sighted friend. I was merely stating the obvious: that phrase can mean more than one thing. You can believe what I've said so far, or you can believe what you think is correct. Neither of us has a say on who is right or wrong.

It is bullshit. sage(ru) means to push or go down, essentially, and age(ru) is more like lift or raise.

Oh, cool. Now you're relying on slander.

Very well, then. I have already made my points. Take them as you may. If your goal was to "win", I'll throw you a bone and declare you the victor... no matter how meaningless and (personally) disappointing it is. I wanted to have a sensible discussion and reach an agreement, but at this point, it doesn't seem possible. You're still fixated on being right, no matter what.

Look at ancient /b/ images for SAGE.
Took me a while to dig back, but here's an example. It used to be used as "youre shit, have some sage" which is basically a more violent way to downvote someone, which was the initial purpose of the Japs. See: >>663339 for the general translation.
Considering that, we called them "Set a good example" and "A good example" to make sense.
