- Comment on How can you make sure that my post that you are reading now is real and that you are not currently dreaming? 1 week ago:
Years ago I looked into lucid dreaming and found that those communities have catalogged several actions that can act as “reality checks”.
Generally in a dream, some things pretty consistently don’t work right. Time/watches, mirrors, light switches. Check one of those and see if anything looks weird. If it makes no sense, probable that you’re dreaming.
Try to remember the sequence of events that led to what you’re doing now. In a dream, there wasn’t anything before.
Or my personal favorite, plug your nose and then try to breathe through it. In a dream it will work.
There’s quite a range of other methods out there too.

Shining Force
It started out really slow, but now I’m mid-late game. I’ve got a band of characters I like and I’m on the cusp of promoting most of them.
It’s older and less refined than other games I’ve played in the genre (ie, Fire Emblems), but it’s been a good time.
