Nerdy 40 something bear dweeb. Possibly very tall. You'll never know. Host on the Square Roots Podcast. Needs to be mildly electrocuted every time he @'s someone parasocially.
I spent way too much time editing the first minute of my next multi-hour retrospective
I found the original sound source of the piano used for "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X. The hardware version is the KORG Kronos German Grand preset. There's a VST version you can get called SGX-2. Here's the original MIDI data played through the VST (with a little adjustment for velocities).
There's a bit in Earth Must Die where you have to convince a ship full of humans to vote to run the ship they're travelling on into the sun. You do it through xenophobia, folksy posturing and a catchy slogan and I feel like that might be the best political satire I've seen in ages
I would always spend hours making sure the mascot characters in Shining Force games got levelled up as much as everyone else

Valis IV on the PC Engine ended the series (until the adult games a decade later) even though Valis III had a perfectly fine conclusion to the story. But if you've got a franchise, you always gotta squeeze one more out of it... youtu.be/tIUdMZuV5qM

This is like that white and gold dress thing. Are you "Team Lavitz Slambert has a mustache" or "Team Lips"?
This boy has decided to be right next to me at all times today. He tried sitting on my lap when I was on the floor cross-cross-applesauce but he was too big
I'm still compiling episodes of Famidaily and the Year of FDS into a convenient package for people. This episode covers April through June of 1988 which includes games like Double Dragon, Famicom Tantei Club, and Captain Tsubasa. Three more compilations to go for 1988... youtu.be/6T_7J0L6ihA

Found dropping the resolution to 2560x1440 from 3440x1440 or 4K makes Borderlands 4 totally playable. Weirdly not via DLSS, which should have a similar effect. But actually setting a lower resolution. Anything above 1440P, even 21:9 1440P is just unplayable on my RTX3080.

I don't think we talk enough how Mc Skat Kat makes Paula Abdul do all the emotional labour
According to my memory card, I finished Metal Gear Solid 2 on Christmas Eve 2002!
Sorry for the re-repost, y'all, but still no traction on the "🔥Hux Needs AC🔥" front... 😣😣😣 It feels humiliating to keep asking, but I can't afford it currently & my windows aren't the right "kind" for an in-window unit, so I'm trying (desperately) to fundraise for a portable unit... 🙏💜🙏
HELP REQUEST! I'm broke but need to get a portable AC unit for my sweatbox-hellscape apartment before it gets any worse (woke up with a migraine this morning from getting overheated last night)... 🥵😵💫🥵😵💫🥵 DONATION \ WISHLIST LINKS: linktr.ee/huxbear
