I feel a lot like how I did after FF7 Remake. Kind of blown away by the overall presentation, but also kind of angry at it, probably directly attributable to the last act of the game in both cases.

Does a full cancer regimen include a colonoscopy? Should I get a colonoscopy at 40? Never had one before, don't want one. I basically feel sick all the time now and I have no clue why. Sinuses don't work right and I've got a bunch of "cysts" in them. Getting a CT scan on that in a couple...

I just turned 40 a couple months ago and I still haven't been able to wrap my head around it. I was 30 a minute ago, WTF.

Not doing this any time soon, but does anyone know offhand if you have to "do everything" twice to get the platinum or can you just "do everything" in NG+? Jirard the Completionist did everything twice but I have a feeling that isn't necessary. Anything that does need to be done in NG?

Dynasty Warriors 9 is so bad. Only "Warriors" or Musuo game that I didn't enjoy at all. Gave up on it fairly quick. They took the simplest formula for success over all those games and found a way to totally fuck it up in the last one. Not surprised we haven't seen a 10 yet.

Sounds like they have a lot of room for DLCs.

Finished the game late last night. Great ending. The main campaign went on about ten hours too long though. Last "dungeon" was just drawn-out fight after drawn-out fight. Someday maybe I'll do a 100% run for this, not now though. Got mixed feelings overall. They did a really good job with this...

You're saying the belt is too far from Jupiter to be torn apart by it? So it could have indeed been shattered by something else? That's super interesting. The atmosphere is also very thick so it's possible any meteorites burn up entirely on entry. Any Venusian life would be floating around in...

93%, 42hrs The last big fight was pretty exhausting, looking forward to being done. I guess spoiler warning, game has been out for almost a month but yeah: Main story really did end a while ago. Not sure if they're trying to do a White Walkers type thing here but I found the game MUCH more...

Would these troll guards be good plat farming for a level 50 shaman? Better than HGs?

Just saw an ingame mention of "Leviathan the Lost". Wonder why he's lost? Did they just run out of dev time or was there a conscious decision to leave out the second-mightiest Eidolon? Think we'll fight Leviathan in a DLC? Hell, think we'll get a DLC?

I'm kind of Castlevania-deficient and haven't heard SOTN yet, but I'm supposed to play it for Halloween with a friend so I'll hear it then. Super Castlevania IV probably should have beaten Super Metroid for the 10 spot. I did completely forget something else: DOOM. Would be #6 on the list if...

Agreed pretty much. There are some great "villain outta nowhere"s out there and I also like the mechanic when it's done well. Did some more this evening. Loooooot of wandering around lategame. This game feels very up and down on excitement level with long lulls between the spikes.

So rather than being a planet that shattered, you're suggesting that Jupiter's gravity prevented it from forming correctly? An interesting idea. Ceres is about one quarter the size of our moon, which is why I suggest it might have been the planetary core for something larger. I think it's...

It isn't just The Guardian, pretty much the entire American mainstream media has "rallied against" it in the form of basically lockstep negative articles about it. This video has a ton of clippings of headlines doing exactly that. You've even got some footage of "Mike Rothschild" (whoever...

I got past the big 75% part. Gonna make a bid to finish the game over the next couple of evenings. Seems like the game kinda blew its wad, not sure what's left for the last 25%.

Is repeating the same line over and over some kind of a thing now? Do you clap your hands between each line?

After a giant play session, I have arrived. This game not having a day/night cycle like most modern games is actually a really good thing, it allows them to change the time based on the narrative. Like this night raid. And even things like the weather can be what the devs want for a specific...

Yeah I assumed it was probably Bakhmut if it wasn't Titan. Dumb question: Edit: Nevermind, I was confusing Dion with Barnabas' henchman. The next scene settled it. In other news, just defeated Titan: This absolute photo finish (with about one HP left) would have meant a bit more if not...

Well, about to go see it myself.

It's my belief that the dinosaurs were indeed killed by asteroids and that there's a good chance this is linked to the (now-gone) 5th planet in the solar system. When the 5th planet blew up, it no doubt scattered asteroids in all directions before the gravitational alignment settled them down...

Now that's a good map. I think Antarctica might be grossly under-sized though. Everything else actually looks accurate. Stark difference between Greenland here and Greenland on the widely-used world map, innit? Russia and North America look like an FF title screen Amano drawing. Two Eikons...

FF9 had some memorable locations. I liked Ipsen's Castle. Memoria wasn't bad as a final dungeon, it was intended to basically be an homage to Final Fantasy 1. I also perma-associate FFIX's soundtrack with Velious in EQ since I played them more or less side-by-side. This track in particular...

That massive Australia / New Zealand, lol The most commonly-used world map rustles me because it has the northern hemisphere as twice as large as the southern, and vastly over-represents the size of things like Greenland and Sweden. Northern Canada and Russia are also massively outsized. So...

Similar feelings here. Lots of lulls in an otherwise good story. Took me a while to realize that the Eikon specials are all on separate cooldowns. So I thought my Ifrit specials locked out Ramuh specials, etc, and basically just stayed in Ifrit stance all the time except to switch to Garuda for...

Whoaaaaa duuuude Got a second Malenia sword and also just realized you can buy all her equipment. Playable Malenia

Fuck Lebron James and fuck this graffiti PS5.

I get the same feeling. I'm at 57% and 20 hours now. Got some real time to play this weekend so I'm going to try to make some significant progress in one sitting finally. Chapter I'm on is "Fire and Ice". Volcano area looks unbelievable on an LG OLED. I feel like a lot of the mid-game areas...

This map doesn't make any sense. It isn't the "antarctica is a ring" UN map that flat earthers go by, it's a totally different thing. It kinda looks like there are two Africas. That or they've got the Lost Continent of Mu on there for some reason. WTF?

We grew up hoping to see Star Trek and space travel in our lifetimes. Instead we'll get Skynet. Fuck.

If you use one of the gold "summon me" items, it lays a summon sign right where you are (good if you want to do a specific area, or help a specific person). The other summon item sends a summon sign to a nearby summoning pool (those stone things I think I might have missed a lot of). When you do...

Had a couple of better summoning experiences last night. Threw the game on while I was doing other stuff, threw out the bait, and let it sit there. Had a few good boss fights where the person I was helping played somewhat efficiently, didn't waste a bunch of everyone's time, and had good fights...

A lot of this stuff sounds reasonably accurate and if it's a LARP it's incredibly well thought-out. A few things caught my attention: 17. Instead of waste, they secrete ammonia-like gas. This lines up with the Brazil alien where people kept finding it hiding around town and they all reported...

Why do I keep seeing Blink 182 mentioned everywhere nowadays? Feels like I missed some huge meme. Also this video was great. Reminded me of Bill and Ted. Also learned a new word, "croosh"

Oh yeah, Typhon is the guy I know as Chupon, forgot about that. So... the boss I most recently fought in FF16... was Chupon? My God. Didn't look much like Chupon, didn't sneeze either. Chupon was one of FF6's big mysteries. Who was he? WHAT was he? I mean look at him, he's an orange blob. I...

2000's goodness depends a lot on how much someone likes RPGs. Cause 2000 was a HUGE year for those: -Baldur's Gate 2 -Icewind Dale -Chrono Cross -Final Fantasy IX -Suikoden 2 -Legend of Dragoon -Wild Arms 2 -Vagrant Story -Grandia Likely forgetting a few as well.

I still to this day don't know the lyrics to "You could be mine". End credits music from T2. Heard it as a kid, had no idea what they were saying, intentionally never fixed that because kid me made his own version of it. "You could be my-eyennnn, but you're way, out of pie-ie! When your lips...

Just did the Typhon fight yesterday and I liked the music, felt like it sort of fit as a "battle in an otherworldly void" type of theme. The part where Ifrit fights Typhon, I mean. Don't remember the music before that. I don't know WTF Typhon was supposed to be (missed something I guess) but...
