B: He said, either on NG or in the comments on the Kickstarter I forget which, that he's tuning the cart grip to be slightly more grippy than the original ZIF but nowhere near the aftermarket death grip. And I don't think the angle was anything severe enough to really make it easier to grip vs parallel... you still have the thumb grip to work with (some variation of it on any type of NES cart, I have at least 1 of each variant style, excluding Action 52 but including Impossible Mission II, both of which are individually unique cart styles)
C: All you crazy people telling others not to get toploaders. Just leaves more for me!
D: I tried boiling for the first time on my best friend's girlfriend's old toaster that she gave to me when she moved out of state. No luck, even with a clipped security pin
