@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Back when I used messenger with a small crowd, we all had our favorite fonts that we'd use.  One girl used comic sans with alternating colors
Good god, messengers... They were so much fun!!! It was like being in Homestuck, except we didn't know it because that wasn't a thing yet.

Comic sans gets a bad rap. It just wants to be loved.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Does anyone know the name of the font that was used in just about every NES game?

IIRC each developer pretty much made their own, but due to the graphical limitations they look pretty much the same (you try fitting every letter in a 8x8 square).

Several imitations out there on font sites.

In my search for this, I have found the most epic font. Triforce FTW. The dollar sign is a rupee.

Also found this guy, who has what you're after.

I've always been fond of Old English. Some of the letters are so overly complicated that it's hard to tell just what the fuck they are. And that, is awesome.

Thanks for the link, that'll come in handy someday.

Or maybe right now, for DF :P

Verdana or Times New Roman.

Back when people actually used AIM my signature font was blue, bold, comic sans.  I'm sorry.

My personal favorite has always been plain ol' Arial.
