I played VIII and IX years ago on roommates’ consoles. IX I really remember loving the story and characters, but I didn’t remember the combat at all. I don’t remember much about VIII, but I know I played the hell out of Blitzball.

Thanks. Yeah, I really wanted to like it.
I remember feeling underwhelmed by it as a kid when it first came out, but I never got a PlayStation. For the time, the art style and graphics were really cool, but the menus and combat system really felt like a step down for me, especially considering how awesome VI was.

Yes, it’s a relief that the war is ending, but do not construe this as some fairy-tale ending.

I’m an ex-smoker, but I’m able to have a couple every month or two without going back full blown. One thing I have noticed is how smoking spikes your heart rate. I can look at my Fitbit data and see exactly where I smoked.
I’d heard about weight gain from quitting, which I have experienced, but I always thought it was attributed to increased appetite and not linked to cardiac activity. The stress on your heart is not just cumulative, it is acutely affective every time you light up.

Sorry, I thought this was possible, but I actually think that’s wrong. I checked in Jerboa and Voyager, and don’t see it in either.
Maybe if you’re logged into your instance via browser? It’s entirely possible I dreamed that up, or I just assumed it because you can on Reddit.
You certainly can follow accounts, and you should. Underutilized little feature.

Dude. People are playing solo D&D with goddamn AI.
Fucking depressed the hell out of my night, so I had to scream it into some void.
Unfortunately, they want you to be young and full of promise. The greatest sacrifices are honored most. Fucking mental cases, if you asked me.

There’s a huge difference between a mistake and being criminally negligent. Clearly our opinions differ in this, and I find yours ghoulish.

Cars have always been fucking death machines since their adoption, killing pedestrians at especially high rates. Since their introduction, this has always pissed people off with any real common sense.
We give up our streets entirely to them, put up with infrastructure increasingly hostile towards foot and cycle travel, scarcely enforce traffic laws, and treat driving like it’s a constitutional right.
We are long overdue for reworking our approach to transportation. Instead we’re stuck with incompetent lawmakers who are corrupted by industry bribes, and propped up by dipshits like you with your heads jammed up your asses.
Who said this movie is bad? That’s the hill on which there is dying.
It’s so well regarded, I kinda feel like I’m missing something. I remember bring really excited about it when it came out, since I had played all the FF releases in the US up to that point. However, I had gotten a computer so I could play Diablo, so my parents would not shell out for a PlayStation.
I ended up playing it some at a friend’s house, but right away I was not impressed. I’ve always guessed that its success was linked to the success of the PlayStation, and I think it introduced a lot of people to FF. Hell, if I didn’t have the amazing games from NES and SNES to compare it to, I probably would have been a fan.
