Chained Echoes (PC)

This game's been getting a lot of attention and superlatives thrown at it over the last few weeks, and while I'm not quite gonna join the chorus calling it one of the best JRPGs of the last few years, it's unequivocally worth the time and price for anyone that's a fan of the turn-based side of the genre. And at the very least, I'm happy to call it one of the best Kickstarter games ever. Has its issues here and there, but in totality it very much deserves the praise. I'll play a sequel if it gets one.

In a few short hours, I will be starting up what appears to be the most polarizing game in the series, Geneology of the Holy War.

Eh. I think every FE game is polarizing to some degree but I feel like Thracia and Awakening are comfortably higher than Genealogy on that ladder.

I think most people's FE rankings are kind of all over the place. Don't know that there's many entries in the series that I'd say there's some kind of general consensus on, except maybe Fates?

I personally despise Blazing Sword, for example, and as time has gone on I've started to kinda feel the same way about Awakening too.

4 has maybe the best collection of mini-games in the series but among the worst boards, because the Mini/Mega Mushroom gimmick sucked.

The only GameCube one I really like is 6, which I think is actually the second best in the series after 3. MPS comes in a solid 3rd - I love everything about it except that I think the coin economy is way out of hand.

SMP is an abomination and I don't understand how anyone enjoys it at all, tbh.

Oh man, think that's the first show on this list I've actually seen and it's one of my all-time favorites. A lot of the reasons for that are, admittedly, largely personal in nature but I do feel compelled to point out that this

I refuse to accept that this judgment system could last more than a day before collapsing under the weight of its flaws.

is kind of part of the point. It becomes increasingly obvious throughout the series how bad the system is, to the point that the whole reason the actual plot even happened is because one of the characters realized it's terrible and started taking steps to try and make it at least a little better.

This is going to sound a little unusual I think, but I think in some respects, the NBA fans and media are responsible for so many guys trying to chase rings nowadays because of the amount of (IMO, undue) weight we give championships. Kevin durant is an all time great player who I think is at least approaching comparison to MJ as to level of talent as a player. But how many times do you see KD in the GOAT discussion, and why? Championships.

Guys like KD want to be known as the best, but they never will be because they don't have the amount of championships that MJ does, and I don't think that's right. Even though I would have liked to see KD win it in OKC, I honestly don't think I can blame him doing what he feels he must to insert himself into that conversation. I don't think # of championships in a team sport should factor in as much as it does to how great a player is.
While I agree in general principle that fans and media have gone overboard with the RINGS ERNEH legacy stuff, especially since NBA fans are much more prone than in other sports to ranking guys, in KD's case specifically I think the irony is that the championships have actually kind of hurt his perception or at least capped it to an extent because of the specifics of how he did it. Joining a 73-win team that had already won a championship and just beaten him, etc. Calling it the hardest road didn't exactly help either.

Irrespective of that observation, Vince made a lot of people happy as well as miserable. He played up to the "carnie" origins of wrestling as long as he could.

If Hitler was reborn into the modern day, would people maintain this opinion of "Don't wish death on anyone"?

I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, comparing Vince McMahon to Hitler. But are we really going to sit here and pretend there's not a threshold of evil that a human being can cross where it becomes perfectly reasonable to think the world might be better off without them in it?

Your threshold might be higher than mine. That's fine. But again, I've seen more than a handful of topics on this board where politicians die and people post some version of "Good riddance, piece of shit" and no one bats an eye.

I don't know what you mean by that but I was asking sincerely
Apologies, then. I'll stick to the highlights.

  • Literally raped at least one person, likely more and likely multiple times
  • Covered up other sexual assaults, one of which involved an on-screen talent who eventually committed suicide, another of which happened just two years ago and involved multiple minors, etc.
  • Covered up an actual murder
  • Covered up a child molestation ring
  • Accepted blood money from and produced propaganda for a horrific murderous and sexist nation, then abandoned an entire plane of employees (oh, excuse me, independent contractors) to be held hostage by the aforementioned nation, then continued to run shows for the aforementioned nation even after the hostage situation
  • Directly contributed to the death of Owen Hart, failed to even stop the show that was going on after his death, and ran a decades-long smear campaign painting his widow as a horrible bitter woman simply because she didn't want the company that killed him to make further profit off of his name and image
  • Was complicit in multiple steroid scandals, one of which contributed (alongside CTE, which Vince also has a checkered history with) to a double-murder-suicide
  • Fired dozens upon dozens of people in the smack middle of a global pandemic for "budget cuts" while posting record revenue and profits, including, for example, Allison Danger, who was hired in October '21 and fired in January '22 a couple of weeks after having moved her entire family to Florida for the job
  • Tried to pop a television rating by exploiting the wife of a wrestler who died hours previously
Do I need to keep going? Hell, the worst might be yet to come - the man is attempting to flee the limelight just weeks removed from allegations that prompted him to go backstage at his company and scream, "Fuck 'em!" If that's the response that those allegations prompted, what do you think this decision heralds in terms of something he's trying to get out in front of?

Even if the WWE propaganda machine has successfully brainwashed you into thinking that McMahon was a net positive for pro wrestling business, he's an absolutely worthless scumbag of a human being and the world would have been much better off if he had never existed. There's no force on earth that could pay back even a fraction of the ruination he's inflicted on countless people's lives, so I just have to hope there's a Hell that will do that instead.

If a politician was discovered tomorrow to have done even 10% of what we know for a fact that Vince is guilty of, half this board would be calling for a public execution.
