  • Final Fantasy IX. Just... everything to do with Vivi and Quina. Those to characters cemented IX as my favorite in the series after initially writing it off as inferior to VII and VIII. While those games have some great narratives, Vivi and Quina both do such a great job of exploring what it is to be human, in their own beautiful and heart rending ways.

    The entire experience of Outer Wilds.

    So many parts of Persona 3, 4, and 5, but especially 4.

    Here's a weird one: Starflight on Genesis. Not so much because of the story or content, but because I played this game so much with a friend of mine in middle school, and had all but forgotten about it. I was playing through some old Genesis games a month or so ago, and started this game up. As soon as the title screen came up, a flood of memories washed over me and took me right back to 1992. Bawled like a kid for about ten minutes as I realized I had an awesome friend that I had basically completely forgotten about.

  • There is no legal or philosophical right to a modern firearm in the Constitution, either. The founders couldn't have predicted the ease with which a single individual could commit mass murder just 50 years later when the firearms of their time took half a minute to reload. One person alone can kill as many people in a minute with a single semi-auto rifle and sufficient ammo as over a dozen militiamen of the day. To suggest the founders intended to include modern weapons is a stretch well beyond the breaking point of reason or logic.

  • How common was this? That was precisely how I discovered porn. Found a Hustler magazine on a trail I used as a shortcut between housing developments on my paper route when I was 11. Then found a whole stash of them in another part of the woods near a tree fort I built with some friends.

  • Dosbox works just fine on Android. No idea about iPhone.

    Works great on Linux-based handhelds, too.

  • Sounds familiar. I wonder what it is about cider and malt beverages that suddenly don't settle?

  • Sounds delightful! Sounds like we need some Australian Sushi in my neck of the woods!

  • It's even more crazy to consider the entire filesize for Vagrant Story is around 100mb. It's incredibly economical for what it achieves.

  • Knights Field series. I never could get into them back in the day, but I've been on a retro kick with my Anbernic and got sucked into them. Ended up putting 20 hours so far into the English translation of the first Japanese KF.

    Also, Vagrant Story. Pretty much same scenario where I rented it back in the day and bounced off the combat for not making any sense to me. Tried it recently and really dig it. The combat system is really quite clever once you understand it.

  • I feel that. It is still the game I have logged the most time with, which considering I've got about 1,300 hours in Elite Dangerous is kinda scary. Between the original Xbox, PC, and Xbox One BC, I've got about 1,800 hours in it. Thoroughly enjoyed breaking every aspect of Morrowind.

  • Ah, yes, En Croissant. Very important maneuver.

  • "Any smaller and it becomes a moped apparel" FTFY

  • This doesn't make sense to you because you're not seeing the whole picture. Putin isn't the enemy or Republicans. They're in his pocket. He either bankrolls them, or has sufficient Komprimat on them to keep them in line.

  • Sarcastic: Indeed.

    Wow. So that's how you can actually do sarcasm on the interwebs!

  • No, I didn't miss that at all. However, the bulk of your post was about the pointlessness of wireless controllers when you're playing close to the TV, and the annoyances of managing batteries. The Xbox breakaway cable was the exception to the rule. Most other controllers were just waiting to drag your whole console to oblivion.

  • This all sounds great, but it's predicated on the assumption that you'll never have to worry about anyone else tripping over your cords.

    I had my kiddo trip over a GameCube cord and ripped my console off the entertainment center, subsequently ripping the AV cables out of the connector. Took me two weeks to find replacement cords for it where I live.

  • Owing to the open-ended wording of your wish, since there are no ants inside your body, all ants in a 50-radius have instantaneously taken residence within every available cavity of your body. You find yourself amazed by just how many ants that actually is in the few seconds you have before your body bursts and you die in horrific but brief agony.
