Yeah, I'm still of the opinion that IX really was the best. Did it have flaws? Of course.

Can those flaws be fixed in a remake or sequel or any follow up in the world/setting? Absolutely.

And yes, I want a full blown remake. Hell, it is literally one of the few remakes that Square could probably tackle and alter the ending and everyone be absolutely fine with it, especially if it makes it better.

TopicIs this tweet about men accurate?
Lunar_Savage
07/16/20 11:20:43 AM

On a base level, the tweet makes sense.

There are plenty of higher levels where that doesn't seem to apply.

That said, if there seems to be a lack of male achievement lately, I'd point out that it might feel that way due to the increased focus on female achievement in the past 30-40 years.

As for where men are clearly failing, I'm not so certain its that they're failing as it is they're either being blocked or men are subconsciously reacting to this sudden movement from men being needed to not needed. The catch being that before we were more needed than wanted and the lack of need is not being replaced by an equal input into the "want/desired" category while women are now seeming to benefit from not just "want" but "need"....so now subconsciously men are doing less because they don't feel anything to light that fire under them. Instead us men are on a large scale (not individually) trying to figure out how to be happy with the new position we find ourselves in society. So if no longer being the top earner and hard worker is a requirement, there's just...well, we get left figuring out what to do with ourselves.

At least, that's all at a first cursory glance. I'm sure there's a million ways to pick that apart.

I believe the issue at the time was that it was priced at $2.50 but the problem was that Micro$oft and the other companies at the time only sold a rock bottom of $5 worth in their digital currency. So at the end of the day, you were paying $5 no matter what. Tack that on top of the other shit the horse armor caused and you have a shit storm that I remember thoroughly.

Found them in Asylum.

I tried to do it in City because I really wanted to experience the Riddler fight. But unfortunately, there were just too damn many, imo. And some of them just straight refused to pop when I found/solved them (camera specific ones as I recall). I said "fuck this" and just quit. If you're going to put that damn many in, at least make sure they work as fucking intended (if they fixed it with patches later, I've already lost interest in ever making the attempt again).

Still on it. Feels like I made a little progress. It was slightly easier today. Any progress is better than none.

And as for my weight, still staying in the 209-218 range.

Feels good this time around, almost like I want to instead of have to. That's...different as opposed to about 7 years ago.

Me - Chicken
Them - How about ribs? Mac and cheese sounds good. What do you think?
Me - Get whatever
Them - No, well get what you want
Me (in head) - I already fn told you.

Over and over

After reading the thread, I think you'll be fine and I'm not sure what you're really worried about here or even why a question was asked in the first place if you already had the answer...or at least it seems you did.

If you're overthinking it, don't. You've put a lot of thought into it already, the best thing to do is just relax and let it sink in for a while.

As for notes in-game, I tend to only take notes of the most important things the players do, and that's so I can devise new customized feats tailored specifically for their characters and add them free of charge when they do amazing things or unexpected story things. Also to have NPCs denote events and remind the players that the world is alive and watching them.

Edit: on public speaking, unless you're playing in a public space I don't get it. It's just a group of close friends, usually. Is it being played with strangers or in public? (I don't remember seeing it in the thread)

I'm a DM of 16 years. Winging it > Planning it

Use the notes if you need to remember key details about characters and never plan a response because you have no idea what the fuck is about to come out of a player's mouth. Know the character and their general personality and you'll be able to form a response on the fly or at least a response that makes sense and stays in form with the character.

The best notes are generally ones that are stat related or environment related. Things that mostly stay static and don't change often or only change if you act on them.

Organization is best with whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you like a table of contents in your notebook, go that route. If you prefer sticky notes, use those.

At the end of the day, it is your goal to provide fun and have fun. Super details and pre-planned things often run counter to these concepts in all but the most important of scenes. And still, the most important scenes are the ones that directly involve the input of the PCs. Too many canned or pre-planned responses leaves you hanging in the breeze with nothing to grab onto and bores the shit out of players.

Finally attempting to get back in the swing of things. Today ended the first week of my return to lifting since life calmed down a bit.

I changed the exercises a bit and I'm starting at the 21 lb. mark with my dumbbells. Arms were sore for a few days, but as today goes on, they don't feel so bad anymore.

Alright, time to spend summer focusing on getting better at this. And hopefully acquire a proper bench at some point. I am finished with heavy cardio focus to lose weight so I'm letting work take care of light cardio requirements I set. Anytime work is slow or doesn't have me move enough, I will be getting on the treadmill at home after work before bed.

Welp, it's good to be back. And on the bright side, I have plenty of protein supplements left to help this time. Off to work soon.

You guys keep up the good work I see in here.

Also not sure but maybe Abra could be used.

At that point in the game, getting Abra can be the biggest fucking headache. You're literally better off just using the mew glitch and nabbing the psychic TM asap if you really want to use a psychic type early on because even if you get Abra, you still have to grind it out to level 16 to evolve it which is a headache because it only has teleport until it evolves. I'm pretty convinced that Abra was supposed to be the psychic magikarp then late in development they decided to lump him into the trade evos for a more unique approach.

but they dont want to move up, become a manager or progress in their job

i get that some promotions may not be worth the stress. especially those which will barely give you a pay rise. but in the longer term it might be worth it

im not smart at all nor am i talented in the field that im working in. my background and upbringing didnt really gear me towards having that type of drive by having happiness + success defined by status and titles

i guess im just envious about not feeling like i have a good career compared to a lot of my friends who are doing better. and just want like im good at doing something

As someone who has been told he fits the very bill many times, I'll impart the wisdom that happiness is far more valuable than any pursuit that other people tell you to chase or think you should. Chasing the goals of other people, no matter how capable one might be at it, is a waste of time for all involved, including the individual in question.

Edit: for clarity, I'm only referring to this specific situation, there are plenty of other times where goals of others are applicable and meaningful.

It went all in on the competitive play aspect and made finding and training the team you most desire the easiest thing ever. Even down to letting you rig stats so you don't waste your life breeding and carefully EV battling just the right pokemon. It turned a 100+ hour chore into about a 20-40 hour fare of selective building and light grinding.

Everything else took a backseat. The story is non-existent, the overall number of pokemon reduced, a region that is bare bones while they stretched their legs building a 3D environment, and an underlying attitude from the devs that seems to scream that they're actually tired of Pokemon (at least, that's what I gathered from my playthrough of it).

Per year? That's still absolute insanity.

Maybe not, since if public education were made available to the majority of the population, you increase the number of students. So even community colleges are going to need more money to either hire more professors or increase the pay of existing ones to help compensate for the extra work load coming in.

I think it would be fine to let them receive public funding, but only if they agree to come down to slightly above community college tuition rates. I'd see allowing them to charge up to 25k (maybe 30k, but that's a stretch), but if you wanna be pricier than that, you're on your own as an institution. I feel like that would allow the private places to compete to a degree and give them incentive to either be more inclusive or more elite in the quality of education they offer. Either way, we start to get a higher educated and more well rounded society and maybe some common sense can start to prevail again.
