The general discussions between Indie Devs right now is how much each of us pine for the return call from Nintendo saying we can put our game on their platform. Wii U game dev and we’re still waiting in line. XD

My relatively small city had no Fireside Gatherings so I created one myself. The application was accepted within a few hours and the meet-up is this Friday. As long as I get 3+ people attending, additional gatherings after that qualify as a Tavern. Not that hard.

I’d have to travel at least an hour to reach one of these events.

KOTAKU: loot boxes are bad because they are exploitive cash grabs.

That’s what happens with all male celebrities

Same thing happened to me with the 2016 model of OLED (bought it black Friday, dropped in price like $500 in January), but I bought it with a Chase card and they have price protection. Just had to take a screenshot of the better price and they sent me a check for the difference. But even if you can’t get that money…

There’s this certain toxic Hyper-Consumer attitude that permeates gaming. This self-aggrandizing view peddled by “consumer advocate” YouTubers convincing people who identify themselves as capital ‘C’ Consumers that they and their opinions are the most important things on the planet by virture of spending money. Their…

“We think of it as a similar principle to collectible card games: Sometimes you’ll open a pack and get a brand new holographic card you’ve had your eye on for a while. But other times you’ll end up with a pack of cards you already have.”

I will have to get one of these at some point, but I have the regular 4k lg tv already.

I paid $1800 for a very realistic big tittied fuck doll. I’m happy.

My mother, bless her heart, made the mistake of buying me a strategy guide with FF8 because GameDicks convinced her to. I didn’t consult it at first, because I got through 7 my damn self(word of mouth, magazines). But even teen me knew they were bullshit. SO the last time I cracked it’s cover I realized I had missed…

I was actually annoyed when they revealed the premise of the game and then reread the title and realized that it actually is based in some kind of logic.

If it can make you feel better, authorial intent doesn’t matter. In this case, as you said, FF8's story is far worse if Ultimecia is not Rinoa. My personal take on the theory is that there are actually two timelines: one in which Squall survived the time compression and we get the happy ending that is the game’s…

Yeah, it just makes so much sense for me too.

Fantastic piece of evidence is that Ultimecia’s Summon is Griever, made after Squalls’ necklace. That to me was always telling that Rinoa was Ultimecia. She made her summon after the pendant of her lover.

It would make so much sense for Rinoa to be Ultimecia!

Actually I hate both the Squall’s dead and Future-Rinoa is Ultimecia theories because they take away from all the clever groundwork that’s in the game. They’re theories that run counter-intuitive to the themes and story being told, and were theories born out of people not really caring about the story or really…

Would you rather it get REALLY NSFW?

My reaction

The new reboot has softened Scrooge even more. There are jokes in the original show’s first episode that make it nearly impossible for a modern audience to like him—one of first bits of dialogue is about how the poor don’t deserve anything.
