This sounds like my experience. I bought a PS5 for FFXVI thinking FF had grown up. The only word I can use to describe this game is “homework.” It felt like I was doing homework the whole time. Boring, repetitive, bloated, and coasting on the FF name. I wanted FFXVI to bring those feelings I had back in my youth. It only reminded me of homework. I finished the game and have wrote off FF since.

As you point out the story was stupid despite a cool world and what seemed like interesting and deep backstory. I liked Clive, Jill, and Cid, but the others characters where one-dimensional. Some of the NPCs were more likable.

Whole heartedly agree with you that gaming journalists have zero integrity. I am all for people liking and enjoying different games/genere/etc. but a 9/10 means almost perfect. This game is far from that.

I know I am late to the party here but the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy just didn’t work for me. I played the first game and suddenly my guard was up. Some of the combat is cool, and of course the graphics are better. But every story change from the original was worse, all of the new characters were boring and clearly shoe horned in, and the general game seemed to lack direction despite having solid rails to coast on.

Still, I finished Remake and bought Rebirth and just couldn’t. In the first town all the flaws of the remake trilogy were on display. Uninstalled, sold the game, and have zero plans to buy Revolutions (is that the last one?)

I do not see SE capturing the spirit of FF again, which is such a loss.

So why am I in Japan experiencing a slightly cooler summer (so far, yes I realize there is plenty of time to get fucked)?

Progress be progress. We’ll get there folks.

I’ll check it out!

I think it found its audience after some time but when it was released many around me treated it as adult power rangers and thought it was corney. It’s not that they are/were wrong it’s just that those things didn’t make it a bad movie in my opinion. It’s probably more liked than I remember, but very few join my annual viewing party. 😆 Yeah PR2 I’m not a fan.

From my first viewing in the theatre in 2013 in Singapore until this very second I really like the first Pacific Rim. It could have been really really bad but in the end it’s a movie with heart and you root for the characters. The CG is exceptional and the Robots and Monsters move extraordinarily well!

Wtf is a harambe?

豹:いただきます。

I lol’Ed and snorted. Thanks!

Was this game any good? Ghost of Tsushima seemed to remain in the zeitgeist for a year or so after release (my impression anyway). I can’t remember anything about this game after it came out.

I am curious, do you know why they can’t kill it? The only reason I can think of is that “new” reddit requires access or something?

I think this map is a little dishonest and should be titled “What Offers Citzenship From Birth - Land or Blood?” I live in a country where I can absolutely naturalize after 5 years. I was not born here and my parents are not from here. This is true of many countries if you make the effort to get a work visa and show you want to be part of their society/culture.

I really agree with your comment. It is a relationship and that relationship has been tipped in favor of one side that has taken things to extreme and fails society.

You mention making the doers part-owners. I’ve always found buying broad based index funds that buy the entire stock market the easiest way to do that.

I wish we required (yes I know how people feel about that word) everybody to invest 10% of their paycheck into something like that. If we had started this 40 years ago the workers would all be owners and benefit from the raising stock market.

You’d also have to teach people to buy and hold for their career (the long-term) but some would still sell for dumb reasons like a new iPhone or PS5.

So yeah…

This also worked for me for the longest time. I recently stopped using Reddit (as we all should) but if you gotta use it at least use old.reddit.com/r/subredditname

Good. Cancel your streaming services. All of them. Just pirate shit.

This is exactly what I thought when I read this. That funny little commercial they made back then isn’t so funny now.

I love the SMB games and always will, but I first movie was so… “whelming” is the only word I can think of. I made the mistake of telling a friend a few months ago we will watch this one together. I hope he forgot I said that. I don’t want to watch it anymore.
