This could have been interesting if they didn’t dump the three douchest dudes from a Circle K into it. Plus, from the “memory” angle they’re going for I’d put my money on this being more Dissidia nonsense where they won’t even remember that they are just 3 dudes who spend too much time at the gym, thus completely…

It was pretty cool back in the day. My mom and I played through it and had a blast. It’s not a masterpiece today, but there’s a reason it spawned the franchise. The lore and world were way, WAY above par for a Nintendo game.

Type O was pretty awful tbh, so I wouldn't give Tabata that much credit. 

When that big article came out about the development of FFVII, it dawned on me that Square’s early success was 100% Sakaguchi. Dude knew how to organize a team, keep it more or less on schedule, and ship a game. The fact that he was mostly AWOL for FFVIII because he was working on setting up his movie studio finally…

Let's not forget Rydia, who somehow crosses literal lakes of fire to show up and save the entire party from being murdered by Golbez.

You know, I can’t help but wonder if someone at Square didn’t hit the whopper button and “break” this thing after the... fairly universal panning that trailer recieved, especially coming off the damage caused by the Balan Wonderworld demo.

My innate woman senses are ringing alarm bells about that MC. He DEFINITELY beats his wife and drives a giant pickup.

I was FULLY expecting Garland to just start laughing at them and tell them to get the fuck out of his throne room when they were like “WE’RE THE WARRIORS OF LIGHT!”

My best friend and I went in 2004 (she’d spent a year as an exchange student previously) and she refused to take me to Akihabara because it was super skeevy and “full of dirty old men and porn shops". 

I remember when I learned about one of my home state Florida's massacres: Rosewood. I was seventeen and happened to catch a story about it on the local news. My "Florida History" course I was forced to take in 8th grade skipped right over it, of course. 

These shitheads remind me of the dude in my hometown who owned the only comic book store in town. He was an overcharging asshole who used to BRAG that he was the one buying ALL THE CARDS up from the big box stores in our county. Fucker would open the packs and then sell the cards separately at a ridiculous mark up. He…

My boxed Earthbound has like quinttupled in value (bought it for 175$ in 2010, now it goes for 1k+). It sucks, because the hobby’s just gotten so damned expensive and I know the barrier to entry is way WAY higher than it used to be. We’ve basically stopped collecting at this point because of the crazy inflation, and…

I treat the game like a model town (which is what the game is really geared towards) and even I’ve lost interest. It’s just a chore at this point, and I HATE the 5 item per day catalog limit. It makes big projects a massive pain. I also hate crafting for the aforementioned (and baffling?!) inability to use your house…

They’re also asking for too much. I’ve been out of work for a year and I can’t tell you how many jobs I’ve seen posted for 35k that want a specific degree + like 5 years of specific experience + knowledge of specific software. I actually had a phone interview that ended with the lady telling me that I’d be the perfect…

I never understand that thinking. I had a boss call me a bad person who only cared about money because I was departing for a higher paying job. I was like, dude, I can’t live off of 12$ an hour.

Central Valley, definitely. I saw more Trump shit up there than I did when I went home to Central Florida. Thankfully, they’re a tiny minority compared to the LA and Bay areas.

The recall is such massive bullshit.

Seriously, I had a bone marrow transplant when I was six and had to wear a mask, gloves, and gown whenevwr I left the house FOR A YEAR. In the Florida heat. Did I complain? NNNNOPE! I was just happy to be out of the hospital!

Seriously, it takes FIVE SECONDS to get a temperature check. 

Seriously!! From the FIRST WORD Chauvin was screaming at Floyd like they’d just finished a fucking car chase. My husband and I were shaking. The tone in his voice--he didn't talk to Floyd like a human.
