I’m quite fond of communism, personally.

  • Have you played any of the DLCs? The Prompto one gives you lore that really should’ve been in the main game and the Ignis one gives you an alternate ending that’s really touching. And the Gladi one gives you a topless outfit (very important).

    Also the final dungeon is the most absurd thing I’ve ever played, I can’t believe I’ve never heard anyone mention it! If you don’t know what Pitioss is, you gotta discover it for yourself. It’s absolutely ridiculous, an utterly deranged choice in a game already full of them. 15/10, wouldn’t change a thing


  • Yeah this game is full of strange choices - I played it blind so I didn’t know the point of no return was halfway through. I have gamer brain so I completed every available sidequest ASAP and by the time I was done, I was 50 levels above what’s recommended for the last few chapters. But apparently that’s how the game is meant to be played??? I literally forgot what the main plot was because of how much time I spent away from it. Vyv, Dave, and Sania each have more presence than the villains. And you have more chemistry with the beach resort chef than your wife hahaha

    I still adore the game though! As far as I’m concerned, the political stuff is just pretense for the road trip and the devs should’ve spent even less time on it.


  • Intel is building a $20 billion facility in Arizona with financial support from the US government. NBC News reported workers are on the construction site for “two 60-hour weeks followed by a 50-hour week for months at a time in the hot Arizona weather with no paid vacation time.”

    Many of these workers are coming from out of state and leaving their friends and families behind to live in temporary housing or hotels for months or years at a time. Josh Vitale, a superintendent for Hoffman Construction, the general contractor overseeing the construction of the Intel computer chip factory, told NBC News, “There’s a lot that goes into how stressful it is, not just physically, but mentally and psychologically … we have to realize that we are legitimately wringing the life out of people.”

    They’re making workers leave their lives behind for months at a time to toil in the desert and live in sardine cans. With no vacation. Yeah it’s real surprising that suicide is on the rise and no young people are joining the industry.


  • Recently finished Final Fantasy 15 and I have to hold back tears whenever I think about the ending. It’s been a while since a game impacted me emotionally and I’m devastated. The last chapter was like a knife in my heart followed by another followed by another.

    There’s still a ton of quests and postgame stuff left but to do them, you need to time travel back in the story and adventuring with your group just isn’t the same anymore after you know what’s waiting for them )':
