@SteveBHolt If Google Scholar goes to the Google Graveyard someday, cis academics will be inconvenienced for like a month until they learn about Internet Archive Scholar, and trans academics will have an unprecedented improvement in their career prospects.

The first 50-cent-per-play game! A woman who is also some fish! A multiball that @FlannelKat says I really need to experience! Gottlieb tries to say more words! The first flipperless game I've looked at since 1947??
