I had this literal experience. I won the school spelling bee and came home to a brand new NES wrapped like a Christmas present. Even had the Zapper and Power Pad.

I once did because in FF6 for some reason I couldn't figure out how to get to the imperial castle in Vector for the banquet after the espers attacked the city. I thought I was doing something wrong because it seemed strange that I was supposed to go to a dinner party at the castle while the entire city was on fire but somehow the castle immediately behind it was perfectly fine. turns out you just needed to walk up the steps at the back end of the city.

this may blow your mind but the cave hobos in the world of ruin talking about the "frightful dragon" weren't talking about the actual dragons that were all over the place in the 2nd half but the brachiosaurus in that random patch of woods towards the north continent. apparently frightful dragon is the jap translation of dinosaur and they wouldn't hire even a single non-esl person to check the verbiage. probably bc they were still pissed about Hiroshima.

AI Overview

Yes, "frightful dragon" is an accurate literal translation of the Japanese word for dinosaur.

Japanese Term: Dinosaur is written as 恐竜 (kyōryū).

Literal Meaning: It is a compound word:

恐 (kyō): Means "fearful," "scary," or "terrible".

竜 (ryū): Means "dragon".

Context: While it literally translates to "fearful dragon" or "frightful dragon," it is the standard word for dinosaur in modern Japanese.

Origin: The term was coined in 1895 as a translation of the Greek-based "dinosaur" (terrible lizard), using the "dragon" character instead of "lizard" (which is typically tokage or 蜥蜴).

+2

Note: This literal translation was famously misunderstood by a translator in the video game Final Fantasy VI, where the word for dinosaur was mistakenly translated literally as "frightful dragon" instead of simply "dinosaur".

I had a neighbor across the street who also subscribed to Nintendo power and he’d always get his magazine 3-5 days before me. It really drove me nuts.

Turns out he was lying and just fucking with me because he hated me.

Strangely my older sister seemed to like me because she would always defend me publicly if someone tried to bully me when we were young, would always tell me which of her friends had a crush on me when we got older, etc. but also loved making fun of me all the time in private, which somehow makes perfect sense because it helped to keep me honest in many ways (Im gay, for instance)
