Some of these usernames make way more sense now. Ha.

I remember it took me way longer than it should have to realize ertyu was just a series of letters on a keyboard. A little embarrassing.

Good ole ertyu. Some of you might not know himbut if you were here when he was, just a dude you cant forget.

I hope Ertyu is doing okay.

My OG account name was because I liked FF6 a lot and am male.

My current account name is just a shortening and combination of my IRL name that I thought sounded cool when a friend suggested it one time.

How does XIV play on Steam Deck? I don't care too much about top visual fidelity. Like Midnight Suns and Baldur's Gate were a noticeable downgrade on Deck, but I was still fine with them.

There is a lull period in releases for me this summer so maybe I will bite the bullet.

I probably still won't.
It plays well on Steam Deck. At least it has every time I've tried it on mine.

Oh and there are references to old games that range from cheeky nods that could be missed to characters and remixes of old music literally appearing in the game so if you like the other games you'll enjoy a lot of that.

*wipes nonexistent glasses*

Dear lord

Been meeting 3 times a week to play with the same group of awesome people for over a decade now. Probably wouldn't still be playing if it wasn't for that.

But yeah, I've done basically every savage content when it was current, caught every big fish, collected every triple Triad card (missing a few from the latest patch or two but working on them), have like 250 mounts and over 22k achievement points.

And the worst part is I know people with more than double my playtime.

My wife plays now and a couple years ago I got to go to Vegas for fanfest. Incredible experience with the concerts, games, previews and panels.

Truly an all-timer game for me.

Anyway if you do start playing, Ulti, if you're after an FC/cool people to chill with come to Hyperion.

The big things I noticed with Smash is it boots up much faster than on Switch 1, and the alternate skins load instantly instead of the awkward 10 second wait on Switch 1. Didn't notice much difference otherwise though I will say my few matches online on Switch 2 were all pristine feeling but idk if that's just lucky connections or not.

Are either of you willing to sell for a decent price so my son can play his first Pokemon game with a cool controller? If not no worries, but it seems to be tough to find for a reasonable price online.
TBH I'm not even sure where it is I may have lent it to my nephew and never gotten it back.

Another one I'm certain I'd be at the top for if I wasn't too lazy to make a list. Every mainline game, most multiple times through multiple remakes.

Every sequel, every MMO expansion, almost every side game you can think of. Final Fantasy is my lifeblood.

How soon did you register to be on the interest list? It is supposed to be in chronological order among those who met the NSO requirements. I'm in a family plan so I didn't meet the qualifications.

Basically immediately after the Direct.

My understanding is that everyone who meets the minimum qualifications is on even playing ground, and from there it's random.

Record: 11-1

Defeated Live A Live 18-3
Defeated Daytona USA 17-6
Defeated Sonic 3 and Knuckles 24-9

Defeated Metaphor: ReFantazio 32-11
Defeated Breath of the Wild 25-16
Defeated Resident Evil 4 24-21
Lost to Final Fantasy VII 18-26
Final Fantasy VI had one of the most impressive championship runs to date, with only Super Metroid giving it any type of scare. What made this win even more significant is that FF6 managed to do what Tactics, 7, 8, 9, 10, AND Remake all failed to accomplish upon reaching the finals. In the TOC, FF6's presence was felt early on and there was zero signs of struggle until the Elite Eight.

Should be the winner but third place is fine I guess.

Thanks for running these/this. It's been a lot of fun to follow.

CT crushing FFX by 10 votes is good stuff. Proud of you, B8.

Never doubted the great taste of B8 for a moment. After this match I have a feeling i'll be sad though.

At least it's like a $90 steak vs. a $100 steak. Won't feel too bad.
