Honestly, finding the Mushroom Kingdom warp in the Luncheon Kingdom made me all the more excited to finish the game and find how you get there. It drove me to go out of my way to collect more moons to see how they added that area into the game.

You meet a Geomancer in the Astrologian story, I know that for certain. I don’t believe you meet one in the Scholar story.

Remember - its the first part of a three part Raid series. Ultima will almost certainly be involved in the final part.

It happens with the FFXIV community as well. Any time there’s a change or patch, the community starts screaming about what they AREN’T doing or how they’re not doing it right. And a ton of armchair devs come out of the woodwork to explain “how easy” it would be to do this or that or add this asset or rework that job…

I don’t mind style evolving as the art form evolves but man I am 9000% over the whole “Moe” anime style. I really want animators to move away from it. I really loved the styles from the 80s and 00s. I liked the 90s style as well, but that was more the era where I watched them most anime so its the one that I had the…

Also, all the chicken from KFC is pressure fried - meaning that it shouldn’t ever come out undercooked. Chick-fil-A incorporates the same technology as well. You likely did get food poisoning from something else. If it *was* from KFC, it wasn’t from their chicken being undercooked. Those pressure fryers lock down once…

Like, I don’t understand what happened to the people who designed the NES Edition of the Game Boy Advance.

Yeah I mean...god forbid LGBT folks attempt to celebrate who they are in the face of people constantly telling them they’re broken, sick, or wrong. Unless you live it, you can’t know it. It will always just be an “annoyance” to you - but man, positivity is something the LGBT community needs - suicide rates amongst…

Shockingly, there are children that happen to identify as any number of things on the LGBTQ spectrum and them possibly seeing people on the Splatoon community celebrating those identities? I dunno, it might make them not hate themselves for being different. I know it certainly would have been really nice to see when I…

Final Fantasy VII’s Japanese boxart is also minimalism perfection:

The wireless/Bluetooth versions of the keyboard are compatible with Mac. The wired versions are not.

Yup, I just looked them up and that seemed to be the going rate. Meanwhile I picked up the wooden Shogi tiles and the cheapest Shogi board Nintendo sells on Amazon and got both for about $50 total.

The Club Nintendo ones (which were limited) are available on eBay for like $25 with free shipping. The Nintendo Store ones shown in this article can be obtained from Amazon for about $20 and minimal shipping costs.

I feel horrible for the backers, of course, but on top of that?

Sadly, vinyl is objectively better than CD. CD audio is compressed - vinyl audio is not. Vinyls will always 100% of the time sound better than digital or CD sound.

Mary is more fleshed out in both Robert and Damien’s routes. She’s very angry at you in Joseph’s route, but her reasoning for her behavior is very much explained by Joseph’s route.

Except the creators of the game are not the Game Grumps themselves. They are Vernon Shaw and Leighton Gray (the latter of whom identifies as a queer woman.) Yes, they work for the GameGrumps, but they did this on their own as a side project. GameGrumps assisted in some of the voice acting and publishing the title, but…

Being trans isn’t a mental illness dude. Let’s not go there.

It /sort of/ has FFXI’s battle interface - but not most modern MMOs. Regardless, it’s still an Active Time style battle system.

Honestly, the things the fanbase hated about it are things they said they loved about Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story, which is the most ironic bit of all.
