Why the heck are they called Keese?

QOTD: What video game shows a food icon or item so delectable that you want to eat it although you’ve never wanted that irl?

The Japanese onomatopoeia for a bat's squeak is キー (kii). Not sure exactly why they chose to add ス (su) to the end specifically, but the English localization of the original Zelda 1 manual is how we ended up with Keese. EDIT: Actually out of curiosity I was looking at the original Japanese Famicom manual for Zelda and they printed KEESE right below キース along with all the other enemies. I'm guessing they were thinking of the names in English because they were using a traditional fantasy setting? Here's the manual, check out page 17 of the pdf and the name of Darknut: https://legendsoflocalization.com/media/the-legend-of-zelda/manuals/ZeldaFDSManual.pdf

QOTD: not much since I'm an insanely picky eater but maybe the magic beans in LOZ

Just watched The Founder because of this episode. That was a great movie. Really makes me want an In & Out burger.

QotD: the butterscotch cinnamon pie from Undertale. I'm not usually a huge butterscotch fan but that sounds so good.

QOTD: Literally any Vanillaware food. It's the ultimate in video game food art. I especially love how in Muramasa there's extra emphasis put into *eating* the food as you see it in different stages of being eaten. AH SOOO GOOD! (Btw, I also love Alex's pick of the Star Bits. I know they're based on a real candy called Konpeito, but the Star Bits strangely look way more appetising. lol)

I just looked it up, because I was curious; Catwoman first appeared in 1940, whereas Black Cat wasn't introduced until 1979. Black Cat has existed since I've been alive and reading comics, so it's amazing to think about these classic characters being almost 40 years apart.

Brett having a crush on Barbara Gordon is soooo real. That's me with like half of the women in DC (especially Helena Bertinelli and Kendra Saunders).
