One thing that has to be kept in mind regarding FFXIV is that it’s fairly easy and convenient to swap outfit appearances on your gear.

...or just that the first Uncharted games took inspiration from the earlier Tomb Raider games, and then the Tomb Raider relaunch took inspiration from earlier Uncharted games?

Porque no dos?

Snoop, adorned in a blue outfit that only he could pull off—no, seriously; do not go online looking for that outfit thinking you’re about to stroll through any Inglewood’s streets with it on; you better know what you’re doing—

They were handcuffed by heavily armed people who probably did not do so gently.

Totally believe it. I don’t think this conclusion is going to be as simple as “the good guys roll in, kill all the baddies, blow up the cow, all is right in the world”. There could well be something more complicated going on with the Butterflies, a motive for their actions that makes this whole mess more complicated.

...and Ubisoft is now working to lap Activision-Blizzard and Electronic Arts in the “Worst Gaming Company” competition.

Firstly: Good to know! But they’re still acting as a distribution platform for the NFT games that are there. And those games are confident enough that they’re welcome there to advertise themselves using an NFT tag.

You could argue of course that it’s very easy for itch.io to say this, since the site is about publishing small indie games and would have almost zero business to lose by taking this stance.

Or you can, you know, write the Jedi well?

Tell me you’ve never been on a corporate slack channel without telling me you’ve never been on a corporate slack channel...

...it’s a large portion of people’s lives, and they’re around the same people all day long. Sometimes, people are going to relax and chat more casually.

It’s funny as well that we should get one of the episode’s many new and returning cameos from Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), who spends most of her screen time warning against the dangers of attachment. For all of the Jedi philosophizing the show indulges in, none of that seems to exist beyond textural window…

I strongly suggest trying out Hard Mode, honestly. Being locked to any letters that you’ve already hit really forces you out of a lot of honestly bad strategies where you spend more time trying to eliminate letters than find solutions. Also, its just nice to mix things up a bit, I always use the same opening word…
