  How do you like the toppings on your pizza?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are modern Final Fantasy games bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  FF games are like pizza. They’re all a round, baked dish, but you can have them so many ways and everyone will have their opinions. For example

  • I thought 10 was linear and boring and only played it once
  • I really liked 10-2 and the entire dress sphere concept as well as being open to go where you wanted.
  • I absolutely loved 12, as it had amazing lore and call backs to literally every other FF game in the series. A lot of people hated on the battle system but the magic of the strategy was figuring out the best gambit combinations
  • 13 had a beautiful story and graphics, but was way too linear and then suddenly opened up in the end game. Would have made a better movie or visual novel
  • 15 was one I thought I wasn’t going to like (an FF with cell phones?!) but oddly they pulled it off well and it wasn’t too bad. The villain was frankly one of the best in any FF series. Voice acting was top notch and the DLC really fleshed it out (you could argue it should have been part of the core)
  • Playing 16 right now, and hopes it was Square returning to its roots, but frankly…… it’s not an FF. The pacing is all over the place, and they randomly throw in an FF theme or name in a way like it’s saying “see! We’re a final fantasy game!” This is the first game that I really thought they lost their way on

  I haven’t played 11 and 14 but I figured that’s my $0.02 when everyone has their own favorite toppings.

  Knew a guy who had the license plate ‘NULL’ and he was telling me how he never got a toll bill or red light ticket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good ending⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then writer probably only wanted to do it for a little bit longer. So given a finite end in the real world it’s nice to have some closure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good ending⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not? Do you not want them together? Do you want the constant pussyfooting around the romance? And I guess most of all, what does it matter?

  Dry? Between the lettuce, tomato and spread it’s probably just right. What are you looking for? Something most and sloppy between two buns?

  Yeah it’s like when they say “Jesus take the wheel”, do people think a person who lived 2000 years ago knows how to drive?

  Apple should put a big notification next to Advanced Protection that says “sorry, we can’t offer this in the UK because they want things to be less secure for you. Please talk to your MP about this”

  How much is Pi-hole worth it assuming I’m using UBO and also have most non-ad based streaming services?

  I’m thinking phones and less often used devices?

  What about it? A lot of high rises, especially in NYC have windows like that in the bathroom. When you live in a super dense city you just accept that you’re gonna see things and people are gonna see you.

  I wonder if this is why their store has been offline for over a month. Had an order cancelled, after sitting for 3 weeks. Got a voucher for 50% off “when the store open”. Still waiting…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even better the picture is of the automatic flushing part of the toilet and most likely this was placed in the restroom based on the silver background. So now people will think it has a camera rather than just a distance sensor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Gen Iseksai Title⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town” does that well because it plays on the stupidly overpowered, doesn’t know what’s normal trope without the MC being reincarnated.

  Yup. Estimates are this will cost households another $828… that comes out to $108 billion per year that all goes directly to the US government. And now that Musk controls the treasury, who know where it will go.

  You can get lower models for much cheaper. In fact they now have some in the $5 range. They’re just giving people more choices.
