I remember when I first heard about Oculus on I think kickstarter.. I thought it was cool.

Then I heard Facebook was buying it and I just wrote it off and knew I'd never have interest in it again. Bought by the wrong type of company

Lot of final fantasy characters I like but an underrated one I always liked was Kuja from FFIX

Knew he was predestined to die and still chose to fight against his creators to defeat them.

Isn't Maine not all of nothing for electoral college votes? So while minor if trump did run he would lose some amount?

I loved a lot of ps1 era rpgs

One that always stuck with me was Legend of Legaia

Never met anyone who played it and the sequel on ps2 was terrible.

Some unique things I never saw in a turn based rpg again:

1. Armor you could buy and equip per slot and you were able to mix and match.. This meant you could look really stupid when farming money for different sets but it was exciting to get a new item and equip it and see

2. This was a turn based rpg but had some inspiration from arcade fighter games of the time.. You would enter your attacks like up down left right x y z and then say ready and your character would do a combo.. You could randomly enter combos and learn new specials and finishes etc.. Also a lot of ways to learn them through exploration and such

Not unique the game has a ton of fun side quests, games and secrets as well..

I loved the series

Some of the short stories are hit or miss but they are short and worth reading either way and only short

I agree with most the points others in this thread make about the economy having gotten worse such that it discourages more kids.. I have a decent job and if I had a second child I think I would never have a chance at retirement.

I am also curious about rising infertility.... My wife and I had go through ivf to even have one child.. This after 7 years of trying..

Several of our peers and friends have struggled with this as well.. It could just be a coincidence but we only know around 20 other couples outside of work and at least 6 of them have not been able to produce children naturally.

The only non fromsoft soulslike game I have ever gotten excited at the mention for was the The Last Ronin one in the TMNT universe some publisher supposedly is making.

An adult setting tmnt with souls like bosses and the option to make your own builds based on the various weapons of the different turtles just sounds amazing.. Esp the big mutnant monster options etc etc

The Bartimeaus trilogy was really good

FF12 had some bullshit chest near the beginning of the game.. If you opened it you lost the ability to 100% the game and get the Zodiac spear ( reportedly some ability to get one in a very tedious grunts fashion but it's been ages)

Basically the straw that broke the camel's back for me with ff.. The games story and combat was already a let down after they dropped the turn based combat like all of them ff1-ff10

But yeah generally I dislike many soft lock mechanics or illogical things that punish you for just playing the game.. Oftentimes these were put in games just to sell strategy guides.

Patton was a poet

I'll chime in that a degree in accounting or finance can get you far.. Most here will mention engineering/medical/programming. They also will likely bemoan the finance and accounting folks they work with as useless.

I'll agree that due to many burrecratic choices c-suite leadership make there are a ton of inefficiencies but there is always a ton of work to be done and the skills can transfer to quite a bit of companies.. Even very large corporations just end up having horribly inefficient processes and constant churn in leadership switches it up a lot.. So if your someone who knows accounting and finance well and can think learn to bridge the never ending gap in tools and people requesting data you can do well.

This was back when everything square made was gold

Then right around square became square enix and finished ffx it all just went downhill
