Can't wait for this to be a tire fire. I hope they don't break ME1 too much. I know I'm in the minority, but it was probably my favourite of the 3 games in pretty much every category.

FFIX is divisive on B8 in the sense that BotW is divisive on B8.
And of course by that Leon means that they are both the worst modern entries in their respective series, only beat out by #2 (Adventure of Link and FF2) in terms of sheer garbageness.

Apparently the reason the enemies dont give AP in the bonus dungeon is due to a glitch with formations that have a number higher than 256 or 512, or something like that. The formations in the main game are all under this but the new ones with new enemies had to be put in the higher range. One little known thing is Terras morph regenerates based on gaining AP after a battle, so if youre using it, you may notice it not recharging so much in this dungeon.

Holy fuck, TIL

1 of 2 things will happen here, but either way, the people that buy into GME late are going to lose their shirts by the end of it. Assuming they manage to convince every to hold until the shorts expire, the hedge fund managers will lose a few million, which would be a drop in the bucket for them, and then the people that bought in early enough will immediately cash out and make absolute bank.

Or the people who got in early will sell before that, causing the stock to freefall, all the people that bought in in the last 2 weeks lose their shirts and the hedge funds make bank on their shorts.

Just getting caught up here:

  • They won't be hiring anybody else I suspect. Imagine you're the company that acquired GB, you're already looking to cut costs and streamline revenue (ads and subs). If Abby/Ben didn't quit, they were probably on the chopping block anyway (and may have been given the out and a severance package). This is extremely common with acquisitions
  • That being said, I don't think they need to hire anybody. They probably won't have a studio in NY so GBEast content will be more like what it was when Alex and Patrick were making content remotely
  • FF7R has been getting consistantly robbed in these deliberations, particularly music, although Best Music is always the worst category because it's so subjective and everyone has a different idea of what is good
  • God DAMN are this year's deliberations a million times better without Abby. I could just imagine her trying to shoehorn in The Sims/Fortnite into every category because "they have cohesion". You can't have someone editorializing on a video game website that literally never plays anything besides the most casual and well played games out there.

Brachiosaur's are probably the best for XP grinding in the game, or at least in the SNES version they were.

I can't remember if you've come across the Offering relic (or even if its still called that in the SNES version, it makes your fight command attack 4x), but when you do, try pairing it with a Genji Glove for all sorts of fun

It's another trainwreck that resulted from a director trying to also be the writer. You saw it with the Star Wars sequels, and you see it here. I'm not sure why this is such a trend recently, but it needs to stop. A proper team of writers that are familiar with the source material and the concept of comic books is needed.

DId they remove Vanish/Doom in the GBA version?

In the SNES version, Vanish was bugged in that it guaranteed a 100% hit rate for any magic cast on an enemy or ally that is invisible, which also included status spells like Death/Doom. I would say about 95% of the bosses in the game could be killed in this way once you learn those spells.

If you think a major trial for the most consequential disease since the bubonic plague will be administered with the same care as some CVS worker injecting 1000 people a day, I have some news for you.

Again, my point wasn't that you SHOULDN'T get the vaccine. It's that pretending like any (young and healthy) person who doesn't is a moron is just willfully ignoring basic statistics.
You can tell that any anti-vaxx/anti-mask assclowns have never played Plague Inc. The goal of these things isn't to stop healthy people from getting sick, it's to prevent them from spreading it to unhealthy people.

I'll be getting it as soon as possible. I travel a lot for work, and not being able to travel internationally for the last 9 months has put a lot of projects on hold. The sooner we get vaccines out, the sooner we can get back to rolling out new projects. As a 33 year old white male living in small town Canada, with a currently WFH job, I worry that I will be the last group of people getting the vaccine.

Especially since the government basically said they were prioritizing Natives living in the middle of the fucking arctic with no interaction with the outside world for some reason.

Also no one goes into debt to party for 4 years unless you live in, like, a movie about college, rather than real life.
Admittedly it has been 10 years since I was in school, but at least 50% of people in first year were there to party and had no interest in actually learning anything. That does taper off as those people fail or drop out, but it is 100% a huge problem with this plan. How do the "progressives" plan to address these people that just wasted everyone's time and money?

Additionally, even if BT's logic was sound, you'd likely have 4-year partiers paying off the debt of hard workers as well, because the job market is screwing EVERYONE equally, and the ability to convert your college degree into well-paying employment is a complete crapshoot right now.
Every person I know that has a real degree has a job. Pretty much the only people that have this problem are the ones that decided to go into arts/humanities programs, not understanding that those degrees are useless for getting a job.

I agree.

Honestly(to the surprise of no one) the whole education system just needs to be completely reworked. Unfortunately I don't see anything being fundamentally changed anytime soon.
I don't disagree that post-secondary education in the US is completely broken. I read up on tuition costs in the US versus Canada and I was shocked. I was able to pay for my 4 year Bachelors without any government loans just by working a part time job while going to school. What I have a hard time grappling with is why smart, hard working people need to pay off the debts of people that just wanted to party for 4 years. It's the exact opposite of a meritocracy.
