As someone who was let down by Jirard’s choice to double down and threaten his accusers, I actually don’t think he needs to be removed. If anything, the fact that his role in the game is to take donations becomes more of a snarky meta commentary. I get that Sabotage studio is probably really hurt by this given their close relationship with IndieLand, and they have every right to do whatever they want with their art, but experiencing the irony here should be preserved and available to the public.
Manufacturers don’t make displays under 6 inches available for purchase, with special cases (such as the iPhone Mini) being made under exclusive contracts. The best lead they have so far is to try to use displays designed for the front part of a foldable phone, but they’re yet to strike an agreement....
I’m a cyclist in the city so for me, a smaller size phone is ideal to keep it secure in a pocket. I got gifted a Pixel 6 about a year ago (wanted to stick with the Pixel 2!) and now I always need to bring some sort of pack to put it in.
Discovered recently that Electric Wizard were kinda dicks back in the day. “At the time, we were pretty bad people. I got arrested for arson of a car, outside a police station. Tim [Bagshaw] went to nick a crucifix off a church roof so we could use it onstage…”...
tbh this sucks for me. I usually order games online for store pickup at the Best Buy which is a 15 minute walk from my apartment. Gets me the game as fast as possible on release day since I show up when the store opens. Now I can still go to the Target across the street from there, but they aren’t as good about stock. :/
Plus a lot of the bigger shows lately are locked behind their respective streaming services. Tried to see if I could grab Blu-Rays instead for the services that only have one or two things I’m interested in but no dice.
You’re not wrong. In a year where there are entirely too many great releases on all consoles, I’ve only played two on my PS5 (Street Fighter 6 & Final Fantasy XVI)
As a die-hard, I bought it Day 1 and got my $70 worth. But after I 100%'d it and looked at my recently played, I realized the only other game was Chicory which I played around Christmas time…
Saw that but these won’t work on the new model so I doubt they make more. Unless of course they’re for the revision but I don’t know how that’d work with the new design.
Sometimes the best memes are made by those who are furthest away from the subject matter. I’m over here with the 9¢ green tea bags from Wegman’s though.
Oh man, the drinking culture at my office before remote work was out of control. Not that I minded it much as a total boozehound. It is rather telling though that it started to fade once the bar across the street closed and I went sober.
Yeah- tbh I can understand why they’d want to do something appreciative for the Day Ones but the Day Ones also could’ve bought it on Steam at the time.
Had Reddit Enhancement Suite on desktop and exclusively third-party apps on mobile since 2011. Saw the redesign for the first time earlier this year and was mortified.
With the simultaneous rollout of restrictions on account sharing and price increases/addition of advertising, I’m cutting back severely on streaming services....
Oh man, I loved game hunting in Japan. If you haven’t, I’d recommend grabbing some Japan exclusive physicals like Super Robot Wars series, Okami, Final Fantasy & Ace Attorney. There are also a lot of Limited Run releases that have a Japanese/Asia region physical that are tens to hundreds of dollars less than the North American versions.
Exactly! It’s so much more engaging to learn all of these things organically as you catch up with someone. I still have Insta but am using it less and instead, sharing photos with my friends directly.
Some family stuff kept me busy this week, and I didn’t really play anything. Hopefully things will get sorted this week, will get back to normal routine then....
Yeah! By “finally,” I mean that it’s living up to the 30 years of hype haha. I’m playing the pixel remaster on Switch so it has actual vocals and HD-2D art style for the Opera scene. Definitely helps promote the stage play presentation and I enjoyed both versions when I watched the original SNES scene afterward.
FWIW I “liked” IV but was overall disappointed with it when I played it back in 2020 (my first FFs were 7 & 10 when I got my PS2 in 2001). Having a much different experience now with VI.
Damn, I envy you for getting to experience them for the first time! I didn’t start until PlayStation 2 era so I’m in a more backwards order- did 7/10, 8, Tactics, 9, 12, 15, 7R before going back to 4 on PSP in 2020 and then Crisis Core & 16 earlier this year.
I have the GBA port of 1 & 2 but got bored at some point through 1. Also played maybe half of 13 when it was released according to Xbox achievements. I remember liking it actually but was a huge pothead at the time so my memory is a bit fuzzy. Have a strange nostalgia for it though so I plan on going back soon.
Interestingly- I’ve found a few people not only think that there won’t be a new control scheme, they actually hope that they don’t add one. To their point, I guess the game would fall apart navigating the exact same environments with more responsive controls.
Highly recommend 13 Sentinels if you’re a fan of visual novels. Simply beautiful with great music and characters. If you’re not a fan of VNs though, the RTS gameplay is so minimal that I wouldn’t bother. It’s well-designed and enjoyable but barely 10% of the runtime.
A lot of people are disappointed but I’m enjoying it for what it is! Free game, ridiculous in nature, and I’m actually not bad at it even if it is just one big traffic jam. I feel like it will make me better at the base game.
Yeah it’d be great if they gave us the updated versions like they did with the BioShock remasters when those came out. That said, I’ll probably still pick these up for the updated controls.
In terms of big stores, Wegman’s has a ton of plant-based products as their store-brand option. They mark whether or not it’s vegan as part of their packaging scheme so it makes for an easy trip.
