In this way, FFVII is like life. A tight-knit group of friends whose bonds were forged in a shared struggle.

I quit even the weekly Xur pickups.

Exactly. If it was a customer facing role, I could see there being more of an argument there. But this was pure wrenching.

People in this thread are musing about, “taking fandom into the bedroom”.  In this comment thread itself! “it feels like you are sleeping with a 12 year old girl”.

Looking at the designs, and the fact that the brand name is “Pokemon GIRLS”, I am not sure the target market is adult women. Young adult, perhaps.

Something I’ve observed that is a huge mistake in politics, but which is a good move in business:

“As an aside, I could easily see an older Chun-li turning out like Michelle Yeoh’s character from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.” 

Real life fishing is its own horror.

Better idea: Take your expired passport and put the novelty stamps *in that*.

I understand that the load times are annoying.

What is interesting is nobody seems to be jazzed up by “What might have been”.
