Overall I enjoyed it, but I’d say it’s probably a mid-tier FF if you we are taking them all as a whole. So, to me, it’s a solid RPG and a solid game, but it doesn’t redefine anything, necessarily.

But I definitely enjoyed it.

I had seen some complaints that you “only get one sword! It’s dumb!” And I don’t know where that came from: you craft lots of swords. Maybe they are upset you only use a sword as your primary melee weapon? To which I might point out Cloud, Squall, Tidus, Lightning, most FF protagonists in games without job systems. It’s a sword plus magic like most FF games.

Maybe the complaint is that you don’t get to use other characters since they mostly just do their own thing. OK, sure. But also, that’s the game. If they’d have just lifted the FF7 combat people would bitch about that, too. It’s like a no-win situation.

All these dudes look like JD Vance in different stages of his life.

I’m glad nearly every word in this image is highlighted so I’d know what to read.

(I’m just joshin’)

If you expect this guy with donkey brains to explain anything about crypto I have a cat and dog value meal to sell you.

“Business”

I know I have definitely been waiting for the inevitable video from someone there that disproves anything the cops said.

And I kinda hate having that feeling, to be honest. We shouldn’t feel that way.

But as we’ve seen time and again, cops’ word often can’t be taken as proof without some video to back it up.

Yeah other than this weird thing where the quest made landing the ship weird, I have had anything totally break the game — though it did crash on me once. But the autosave got me maybe ten seconds before that so I loaded right back where I was.

Mostly I’ve just seen little graphical bugs. Like when you fly off world and the “loading clouds” show up. Sometimes there will be a flash of a big, black chunk of the screen that shows up for a split second. Stuff like that.

I wouldn’t mind if Kay got her own little series out this. She’s cool, and Nix is cool. I like them both.

I’m right in the middle of this game currently, and I do fully see some of the jank that shows up in this game. And it does have some issues (I couldn’t land my ship on the starting planet until I finished a specific quest, but the game doesn’t tell you this).

However, I’m finding the game pretty fun overall and kinda hope they iterate on this scoundrel idea and make sequel. I’m having fun sneaking in and looting all these places.

“Undecided voters” has felt like “ashamed to be Republican” voters to me for a long time.

Hell yeah, banger month. I wanted to play The Plucky Squire, and now it’s right there to play. Just have to get through all these other games first.

Technology sure is great, isn’t it?

It also is nice for that random night where you have a physical DVD to watch.

My friends wanted to do a Saw movie marathon, and one of them had all the discs. The PS5 was the only device I had that could play them.

I’ve used the disc drive exactly twice for games in the last four years, but I’m happy it was there.

The second time, in fact, was just this last week because I was able to get Star Wars: Outlaws on disc for half off (some weird QVC deal a couple weeks ago).

Right? The neckiest of beards have crawled out of the shadows.

Ya’ think?

Sure, bud.

Life is too short to pretend to hate Taylor Swift.

“Wannabe musician” - that’s a laugh.

This woman sings, dances, plays guitar and piano at her concerts for, like, three hours straight for sold out crowds all over the world where you have to get into a lottery to even buy tickets, but sure, she’s not a musician. Give me a break.

The reason why her endorsement makes news is because she has 200M followers on social media, so whether you like it or not if she takes a stance one way or the other there will be people who listen.

This thing is expensive, and I probably won’t get one.

But the Panasonic 3DO cost $700 in 90s money and that thing sucked ass, so this price isn’t something we’ve never seen before.

Sony does need to read the room, though. It’s a bit of a bad look.

$700 is too much money. Especially if you already have a PS5.

Honestly, if this means that the “quality” modes run at 60fps+ (and 4K but we’ll see) then I may be on board.

The 40fps middle ground right now isn’t that bad, but I’d rather it be better.

We’ll see.
