FFIX just went live on Game Pass for both Xbox and PC if you’ve got access to that. Great game!  Not my favorite, but I recently really enjoyed going back through it.

Nothing says “responsible gun owner” like an asshole wearing an inflatable costume that barely lets him keep his grip on his AR-15.

And it’ll again end in a giant lump of “This game runs slightly better on this platform, but THAT game runs slightly better on the other platform. We needed detailed analysis tools to even see it, so who gives a shit.”

I love the additional insinuation that there’s somehow an objectively correct way to play video games.

I’ve seen this come up a few times, but it never bothered me once. I also didn’t do a hard playthrough so maybe I just didn’t dip into those menus too often? It didn’t seem to be more than a second each time I got into a weapon, and certainly not long enough to offend me.

It was certainly real time, and I guess someone was controlling the character, but does that make it gameplay if it doesn’t include the myriad systems that also affect performance, not to mention developer resources?

Tomb Raider already has a bunch of magic in it?

Leave. This place is not salvageable.

The reason they had to go 88 MPH in Back to the Future is because that’s literally the things top speed.

5 wins? You must be feeling particularly generous.

drew the conclusion that a Crisis Core remaster might not happen because of Remake, because of how Remake might change the story and therefore, it would affect Zack’s story as well.

Those are deaths, the guidelines call for fourteen days of declining cases, which no state has met:

The point of flattening the curve isn’t to get to the peak and then reopen, it’s to get to the peak, control the spread, get steadily declining numbers and then work to re-open. My state of Texas is starting to open some businesses today and yesterday was the third highest number of confirmed cases in Texas, and this…

Man, there’s so much to unpack here and I’m going to do my best to not be super snarky about it. Honestly.

Look man, there’s two outcomes here: We reopen, kill a bunch of people and continue to tank the economy, or we keep taking measures and tank the economy. There is no outcome from this pandemic in which the economy is not tanked.

But that’s not as convincing an argument as his straw man, and he’s got BOATLOADS of money, so he’s right!  God damn communist!

I reeeeally don’t think that’s going to be an issue here. I don’t know that it’ll be good, but there’s two things:

I get that as a fan of the original, but you can’t end a huge 40 hour RPG on... the end of a highway and just walking out of the city. There had to be some kind of big bad, and it makes sense that they have to establish Sephiroth as the true villain after Shinra goes down.

I didn’t level it up either in my playthrough either, I think it’s just because its requirements are so much higher than everything else. I can’t find the pure numbers, but I know arise takes 5000AP to level, but level 3 of an elemental is only 900.  

I do not have that reaction to Tonberries, it is always, “Aw fuck I’m gonna get rocked here.”
