“never meant to be this long”?
I spent about countless hours in the original FF, doing all kinds of quests, grinding to lvl 99 before the final confrontation, trying to get every Materia possible, golden Chocobo breeding... the list was endless.
How can a remake be “too long”?
I mean - it is FF7, most people who buy…

He’s a children's entertainer, and frankly he's no Xuxa. 

Probably. The owners of Walmart care more about one rich douchebag’s feelings than they care about all of their workers put together.

You know how when you were a kid, there was that one popular thing that at least half the school was into, despite the fact that it sucked?

If you can’t read between the lines of this story about a shitty celebrity coming into an unethically low-paying job and complaining about the location’s low sales numbers on his trash merch, then I’d argue that you’re more likely the person who’s never done retail work. That wouldn’t be fun for anyone but the largest…

I may be a tad old at this point, but I flipped on his channel surfing through my Roku Live list, watched for about 20 seconds, then immediately went to something else. What the fuck is this knob’s appeal? 

Every single person he annoyed had something better to do than help him make more money.  Fuck this guy.

We really need to bring back the shop contest.

The problem with gacha games isn’t that they cost money. I’m glad to pay money for a good game.

I hope Nintendo does something to limit botting. Maybe a sign up for people who have had an online account for a while. I managed to walk into an Amazon Book Store and buy a Switch off the shelf day one (I’m sure because so few people thought of that as a possibility, I only knew about it because I saw it mentioned in…

Subway doesn’t seem to understand their customers.

Meat should only be fluffed on a porn shoot, not at the worst sandwich store. 

That “fluffy meat” comment, ooof that just sounds so bad to me. 

People can think he’s a douchebag all they want. Hell, I think he’s a bit of a tool. Doesn’t change that there’s a thousand people who couldn’t afford cataract surgery who were able to get it, and a shitton of villages in Africa that now have easy access to clean water who didn’t before, and a host of other shit. On a…

A buddy of mine who is both a console and PC gamer told me recently that he’s stopped bothering with PC gaming because his job is looking at a computer screen all day and he doesn’t like the feeling of his leisure time being that close to his labor time. That’s obviously hugely anecdotal and I don’t at all consider it…

I think one thing that does not get enough attention with this shift is the effect on the secondary market. In addition to being a valuable system for keeping playable games in circulation, I’ve seen how it enables whole populations of lower-income individuals to enjoy gaming. Buy a game this week, play it, sell it…

As a PC gamer I adapted to this over a decade ago.  It was clear when this generation of consoles had a disk free version that this was the way it was going to go.  That being said,  Microsoft has really done a good job keeping as much playable as possible with new hardware.  There are purchases I made in the 360 era…

It’s wild that so many old games only exist and are playable now thanks to people uploading them to the net and building emulators/tools to keep them alive. 

Pirates are doing *MOST* of the heavy lifting when it comes to game preservation. See also: movies and music

Yeah, as soon as I saw that I unsubbed from the Ubisoft + that I JUST signed up for. I used it to finish Valhala and start Mirage and PoP. Such a shame too, as I’ve been defending them pretty hard lately.
