Also open endings are (usually) much better for fanfiction. It's a good(?) thing! Fires imaginations, gets writing organs oozing wonderfully. All sorts of benefits. And associated detriments, but net positive, etc., etc.

Plus, yeah, there's something somewhat delightfully spiteful about, just. Not giving the fans closure. At least when it's not done specifically to hook for a sequel.

Heeheehee, ah, the local officials and their job-specific training.

I still remember the illiterate city council member. One of the folks able to override mayoral authority if enough of them vote the right way. Couldn't read, ha ha! One character among many.

... but yeah. If you've got anyone who's actually inside the local governmental system enough to know some of the dirt? It's... definitely one of those, "How the hell hasn't this country collapsed yet?" kind of things. Least for smaller areas. Presumably larger ones are "Same bullshit, bigger pile", ha.

And hey. Place I was in almost did go bankrupt a few times. To say nothing of some of the blatant (and I mean deflecting-federal-investigation blatant) corruption.

Good times. By which I mean there's a sizable portion of the town and its population I wouldn't particular mind if went up in literal flames.

Why are you taking a class about basic office software? Excel is not exactly complicated unless you're doing serious maths with it.

Most likely? Because it's a prerequisite for later classes, and there exists no way to test out of it.

Also. Just. Also. You'd be surprised. I've seen it take over a week to (begin to) get absolute/mixed cell references. Just, like. As a start. And not, y'know. Imbeciles. Working folks, decently experienced, fairly competent and intelligent. But looking at excel makes their brains basically ooze out their ears.

Stuff bloody well needs a test to circumvent for prereqs, though. If you can manage bloody microsoft certification or whatever, you're probably capable of handling whatever later classes need the skillset.

E: Also, it's not "teaching" office software. It's specifically teaching microsoft office products. Think on it for, like, two seconds. And you'll have one of the other major answers.

Aye, aye. Second one was better in... pretty much all ways, really. But I'm fairly sure th'first one had puzzles and combat, too. What it didn't have was pokemon, which is why that's what I use to keep the two separate in my head

Not like I can use characters mumblemumble. Also doesn't help with the later Lufia(s?), since the only one I can remember (the GBA thing) also had the pokemon going on.

Well. Guess y'could also think of Fortress of Doom as "The One Without Dekar", too...

I was expecting a constant backjumpslide (whatever that move is called that you seen in a lot of castlevania tas). That was much quieter a movement.

Just called backdash, usually. You might appreciate the dawn of sorrow ones, too, if quieter is preferred.

... for a short period, GO wished he were [sic] a lesbian. That's all there really is to it.

Gamz seems a little more agitated than normal, maybe?

... lemon?

Oh. Wait. Lemon10. Right.

... carry on.
