I hate MBA-speak and it makes job hunting really difficult because I have to read shit like "We're looking for someone that can enthusiastically engineer professional synergy while they assertively incept parallel process improvements".

Listen, if other folks are like my D&D groups, it’ll take us weeks to get out of a 60 square meter setting, so that should be fine.

To be fair, it’s been 7 years at this point since the last mainline FF entry.

Squeenix game titles feel like they were created in a Wu Tang Clan name generator. I just tried it out a moment ago, and I came up with “Optical Rascal”. which could honestly fit as a Squeenix RPG name.

I thought it was obvious, but I forgot about Poe’s law. I wasn’t saying it was a “reasonable opinion,” just that a lot of gamers probably thought so.

Ya gotta mark your comment as sarcasm my guy. It flew over so many heads.

Tons of white gamers in wealthy countries who have never known any serious hardship beyond a delayed release date just mentally checked a box that says, “I guess I won’t express that perfectly reasonable opinion in public from now on.”
