Great description! Just wanted to pop in here and recommend “Hildebrand, Inspector Extrodinaire!”

The first thing to do is complete The Twinning and Akadaemia Anyder, the two lv80 dungeons - this will unlock Expert Roulette, which is a key part of getting tomestones (the FFXIV endgame token). I would also recommend working through the 4 current Eden fights mentioned in this very article.

It’s all about that glam game, y’all.

I subscribed for a few months a couple years ago and got some okay t-shirts and funko pops, but in general I only liked about a quarter of what I got each month so it seemed wasteful. Used some for presents but after a while, it was just accumulating crap I didn’t want. Also the sizing on the clothing was very…

Titan Normal? Because yeah... the landslides are a rite of passage I’m afraid.

FFVIII was one of my favorites.

The landslides....the landslides...

...

FF8 has always been my favorite and I look forward to replaying it. 

Honestly, Squall’s character growth is the best part of this game (unless you’re more into batshit anime plotlines and twists, then that’s on another level). I really hope that this remaster helps to rehab this game’s image. Yes, it’s a game that’s entire battle system can be twisted and broken on a whim, not…

... whatever.

The vid should have been a cut instead of a slow zoom, I think it would have been a tad funnier

Don’t confuse “kissing his ass” with “working a mark.” The former is what it looks like. The latter is what it is. They’re disrespecting him just as much as they ever did Obama; more, because they’re getting a lot more out of him while they do it. They’re just doing the bare minimum of jingling-the-keys distraction…

Those Asian countries are kissing his ass because they’re working him. China kisses his ass and let’s him build a hotel and then he rolls over for what China really wants: more regional power.

This is my chance to be the person that knows the niche sport and throws stuff out there no one gives a fuck about.

There is no stronger representation to the world about what America is about than this. I’m so confused when the governing body wants to sanction this, the best propaganda we can send out. This reminds people everywhere that they too can live somewhere where they can speak out without fear. This is a shining example…

Fuck Fox News. Fuck Tucker "Bow-Tie Douchebag" Carlson. Hopefully his kids and grandkids will disown his miserable ass when the history books are written and they talk about the propaganda of the time. 

Rich people’s obsession with tax cuts will forever blow my mind. Like, you’re ALREADY a billionaire. Dude’s already old so he’s got no chance at being the richest man ever. So really it’s all about siding with white supremacy to add a couple of numbers to a bottom line. I mean, he’ll never face consequences for…

Whoa, Charlie, my favorite political writer, on Deadspin?  Is this going to become a regular thing like Ratto?  Can we get a Ratto & Pierce podcast going?  I’m excited by the possibilities.
