In my opinion, base FFXIV A Realm Reborn is already a good game. The first expansion, Heavensward, takes it to great. Stormblood goes back to good. Shadowbringers and Endwalker together are the best Final Fantasy I’ve played, though other people don’t like Endwalker as much as me. I haven’t played Dawntrail since Endwalker is a clear endpoint for the story.

I cried throughout the entire game, but a sequence in the last region of Endwalker made me ugly cry like no other media has

woah, what, i can’t believe it

fuckin’ losers

fuckass losers, even

If you’re interested in this sort of thing and like action/adventure rpgs, give Crosscode a shot. it’s excellent

real boomer humor, this one

I hate when headlines (well, people in general) use codenames for hardware. I’m apparently supposed to know off the top of my head that Arrow Lake is the newest Intel Core Ultra series cpus released a couple of months ago.

The phrase “ok slimers” legitimately made me laugh out loud

He has US citizenship, at least according to wikipedia. Much as I hate him the government can’t just revoke that afaik

What I love every time I see this comic is that Alex knew he would be persecuted for his art, and has accepted it.

give the supreme court more time to backslide

the whole “Deckard’s a replicant thing” is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is “more human than human”, and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard’s story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

“You childless losers probably spend all your time rescuing cats from trees!” Vance reportedly yelled as he ran off stage, mascara streaming down his face.

It’s great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can’t tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien’s words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.

I think they’re not being built in most US (and maybe Canadian?) cities because nimbys only want single-family detached houses to be built to preserve their home’s value

least that’s what I’ve gathered from watching youtube videos on urban planning and reading articles

afaik it’s essentially an apartment but you own your domicile, and have a stake in the building as a whole along with the other “tenants” who are also co-owners.

The suspects are aged between 30 and 49 and are studying in Busan

now, education is possible at any age, but really?

The one where ISIS exists and attacked Moscow’s Crocus City Hall theater in March. IIRC the Taliban and ISIS aren’t best friends because ISIS sees them as resting on their laurels and wanting to stabilize their control of Afghanistan rather than expanding and building an Islamic State.
