If this is legitimate, it's the best evidence I've seen ever. The video footage looks legit, some of the photos could be non-legit. If the airport really did divert a bunch of flights at the same time and there were numerous eyewitnesses, then this should be easy enough to confirm. The youtube...

Those tweets are kind of idiotic (yeah both of them). Mike whatever's tweet is idiotic because they have barely even started selling tickets yet and the guy apparently has clairvoyance to know it'll sell 40k, a FAR CRY from this other thing that happened in a different industry! TK tweet is...

The FMVs in FF4 3D are really impressive, especially on the HD-ish phone version (can't imagine they were this nice on the DS, but maybe). I'm also doing them in order which, as of FF5, feels like I boxed myself in a bit cause I kinda need a break. I did FF3 and 4 at the same time, now I'm...

IIRC in the video he actually talks about that. Specifically the possibility that some of the "Mars rover video" was actually filmed on a desolate island that NASA uses for training missions. He compares and contrasts and it's...uncanny.

Blood Sword absolutely obliterates the final boss of FF2. Not just that, but also the other four endgame area bosses. Astaroth is practically an uberboss so that helps. I always find him to be a stronger opponent than the Emperor himself. Said bosses also have the HP absorb component to their...

The frozen lake battle was the best thing in the entire Twilight movie series IMO. Was it stupid to series fans? Yeah, but I was watching it as a fan of like, Buffy and True Blood, who wanted to see some vampire wars and I got that. It turning out to have been a daydream or whatever was the part...

I'd love to find a way to reliably emulate all of the Armored Core games. The PS1 trilogy are probably doable, but even that's iffy because you really need to carry saves over from one to the next to have a chance in 2 and 3. Everything after that is PS2 and 3 which suck to emulate. And those...

I love me some Ana de Armas. Her, Johansson, and Daddario are pretty much alone on what I consider "goddess tier" actresses visually. Though Daddario has been brought down quite a bit by being in so many goofy romantic comedies.

Yeah it's really annoying how that's become a trend, drawing out stories over two movies. Harry Potter did it successfully so everyone else wanted to do it. Mockingjay didn't need it, Hobbit sure as hell didn't need it (could have easily been two movies). IW/Endgame was at least justified...

I'll say this though, it's pretty cool that this PR remaster has gotten people into the old FFs again. A few people I know are playing them for the first time in ages right now and talking shop with me. Even seeing a resurgence of people interested in FF3 3D and FF4 3D, or the PSP one with After...

The impression I get is that Skyrim's main advantage was the graphical enhancements and atmosphere, but Morrowind was the superior game. With all of the mods it has, Morrowind at this point probably looks just about as good as Skyrim does. So is it safe to say that in 2023 Morrowind is the...

Yeh. Back in January/February we had the biggest foreign policy scandal in over a decade (Nordstream), the Epstein flight log names were outed, Twitter was exposed as being completely corrupt and underwritten by US government and intel agencies, and the largest chemical disaster in US history...

There are so many versions of FF4 at this point that you can't take any information from the internet as gospel unless it specifies which version it pertains to. Each of these has a variety of differences at this point in mechanics, spell effectiveness, stat effectiveness, drop rates, and even...

FF4 is full of little tricks like that, which make the game pretty fast/easy when you know them. Depending on the version (since there are so many versions of FF4 now), Wall/Reflect can also wear off before Bahamut uses Meganuke. If you start the fight by putting Wall on everyone, it'll poof by...

Right. Race doesn't matter much in biological attractiveness, and if it did the world wouldn't be full of mixed race people going back hundreds of years. For a long time peoples were generally racially homogenous, but it wasn't because of antipathy towards other races, it was because of lack of...

@Seananigans Have you platinumed all of the first four PRs now? Pretty sure you've at least beaten them. What's other people's progression status on FFs beaten and/or platinumed (if Playstation) so far?

In the middle of watching this. Great concept, but kind of devolves into full-on slapstick "people on drugs would enjoy this" type humor before long. Also getting major "people who wrote this think they're smarter than they actually are" vibes. Lots of Marvel-style whiplash between sappy and...

FF4 3D has got potential for sure. I like that it has New Game Plus and pushes the game to new levels for people who want to get the most out of it. It'd probably kick the ass of the average person who just wanted to revisit FF4 and hadn't played it since the SNES version in the 90's though...

They have to be done in instances, no OW kills for some reason. So no mercs. Might be able to do the 40 and 50 cheevos with a few boxed characters and high-level logistical support (if it lets you) but I dunno if I'd bother.

Yeah I'll start over and do this later. I guess I'll need to follow an augment guide to make sure I don't miss anything crucial because I didn't talk to the right stripper townsperson in a pond somewhere. All the augment guides seem to be for the DS version rather than the other versions...

I could get a second Dualcast on NG++ in theory. Missing one on NG just means NG will be harder than it needs to be cause I can't drop any double Meteos. F this version of FF4, seriously, lot of "what were they thinking". Good ideas, poor execution. Guess I'll start over, that was 4-5 hours...

Found a good grind: Paladin Cecil by himself on Mt Ordeals. Get Paladin gear from Mysidia, equip Counter augment, turn up battle speed, reap levels since he'll just counter everything to pieces. This should also make most of the later characters jump forward to near Cecil's level (except Edge...

Sounds like poison damage to the party is nerfed in the PR.

Nah phone is good for me. Is it subpar? Yeah, but I'll get through it a lot sooner. On PC it competes against everything else I have on home console and probably gets dumped after a bit because it's such a patience-taxing game. FF5 started, did the first hour and a half. In the earlier ones I...

With "hard mode" instances factored in... 16x Korafax and 16x Tower per week! I like Muramites and those zones more than probably anybody else here and I wouldn't touch that raid schedule with someone else's dick.

I feel like poison (the status effect) was never good in FF4. Bio is very good in FF3 (as a damage spell due to its general neutrality) but it kinda got nerfed for 4, and the actual poison status effect seems to barely work. First time I remember poison actually doing any appreciable damage...

FF4 done, 15 hours. Getting level 99 in this is very quick compared to FF3. Also five Adamant Armors which wasn't bad either given buyable Sirens and the better drop rate calculations: Took about 50 Sirens to get the first four tails, then around 40 to get the last one which was a bit...

Any opinions on Omaha Steaks? I did two or three orders from them over the last couple of years. Full orders, the $200 ones where you get enough stuff to fill half a freezer (more if you leave things in their boxes). I found their steaks to be really good, particularly the filet mignon and the...

That's super messed-up. No wonder people don't like Bethesda. And to think I used to defend them just 'cause I like some of their games. Which reminds me, I need to play Morrowind one of these years. Got it for XBox in like 2006 in a bargain bin, never got going with it because of the obscene...

Lawl, ain't nobody on that server as it is hardcore enough to do any of this stuff. It'd take an AoS vs OGC type "go for the throat" battle with the same kind of people to make that kind of effort. Oakwynd will have a hot launch from people trying it and within a week it'll be a substandard...

This'll be good. Pretty sure Future President Snow's diverse girlfriend is going to get killed, cause he's gotta turn evil somehow. So the movie will have something for everyone.

If we did get a Dredd 2, who should play Judge Death? And what about Judge Rico? WE JUST GONNA SKIP JUDGE RICO?

All the stuff I watched the last couple weeks. Edit: Lowered a few of these ratings because I was way too generous the other day. The Killing Joke - This was basically two episodes of Batman: The Animated Series put together, or at least that's how it felt. The first half was "Batgirl The...

So this is a villain origin story about the younger version of President Donald Sutherland? Could be interesting, I guess. Villain origin stories can be good. That "diversity casting" chick people are moaning about is hot. I can't even tell what ethnicity she is, could be from a bunch of...

Do it. Each one will be faster. 8 different classes for variety, or just Mage/Monk on loop to get it done faster? All the bonuses poofing when a new expansion comes out is so dumb and renders the whole thing pointless outside of a personal challenge like this.

I've beaten FF3 on the NES multiple times at middling levels, I know the terror of it. The fact that the boss just spams it is pretty obnoxious. And woe to people who are coming off of clearing the whole dungeon(s) with autosave. The "final dungeon" is basically four dungeons in a row, but you...

Man, finally done with FF3. Got the platinum at about 17 hours. Rest was maxing out levels, which even cranked up to x4 exp took way too long. Not sure why high levels in FF3 take so much longer than the others. No one even got 9999 HP! I kinda regret bothering to do the level-maxing but at...

Fromsoft is really good at promising nothing and wildly overdelivering.

Yeah those 3 groups are the worthwhile ones on TLP. I also like people from all 3

Yeah I looked stuff up for sure. Once I spent a couple hours trying to find a second Rope I was pretty much doneski. It isn't 1997 anymore when I can spend weeks / dozens of hours on a single retro game. In other news, got some new ones: These two (and the two Fallouts) would be perfect for...
