This story is just a reminder that it’s best to think of this as Putin’s war, not Russia’s war. Because there are a lot of Russians (particularly the young) who don’t share Putin’s worldview.

Well with that attitude I’m just going to buy that game now even though I have a giant backlog because reviews are solid and I like me some RPG, jokes on you nice developer

The first part of the tweet (“innalillahi wa innailaihi rajiun”) is straight from the Quran and translates into: “We belong to God and to God we shall return”. I’ve always found this somehow peaceful. May he rest in peace.

I am capable of being mad about more than one thing at a time. Being upset at one thing doesn’t mean I’m okay with others, or that they are less/more important. We’re allowed to be annoyed and talk about the “trivial” things that go on in our lives.

I feel like this particular line is important to address: the game’s title screen upon completion is of the building that housed the Fireflies Abby contacted over the radio. In the foreground is Abby and Lev’s skiff, beached on the shore.

“The game merely shows me that trans men exist, a fact I already knew.”

Accessibility issues aside (not everyone can get their hands on a particular game, worse if it’s exclusive to a console), games would be a great learning tool for many different subjects. There are A LOT of profound gaming experiences out there, and there are a lot of subjects that could be easier to talk about once…

Kazushige Nojima is the scenario writer here and one of the script writers as well. You might know him from one of his other works where he was scenario designer and writer: Final Fantasy VII.

You might also know Tetsuya Nomura from another work he was a writer(and character designer) on called Final Fantasy VII.

You…

They made a terrible mistake and made promises they couldn’t keep, but it appears they’ve delivered on almost every single line item and then some. Yes, it took 2+ years of free updates, but this is a shining example of making it right.
