customized my wow server to add ~100 bots to goldshire inn who will never leave and are programmed to argue about the xbox 360 vs ps3 nonstop

I have been using the same wired 360 controller to game on PC for the past 20 years and it outlived the Xbox one controller I bought to replace it and I worry for the day I will need to replace it for real

Nobuo Uematsu made a lot of amazing music, but the vast majority of time he was tasked with composing a theme for a female party member he leaned really hard on a wistful tone. Just trying to land somewhere between pleasant and bittersweet. Freya and Lulu might be the strongest exceptions.

Are there examples of ARGs or analog horror stories that managed to reach a conclusion that felt satisfying? Other than Angel Hare, I mean, which was concise and could have stopped at any of its prior finales and earned rent free status in my brain forever.

The trope of the afterlife functioning as a divine bureaucracy, or corporate office job, comes from the same place as medieval writers describing heaven and hell in terms of feudal hierarchy: projecting the social structure the author is familiar with in their life onto the spiritual world.

Coco world in KH4 has the opportunity to tie into the existing Kingdom Hearts plot mechanic of "You cannot truly die if someone remembers you" and explore that more deeply, but I am setting my expectations to the level being an abridged plot summary of the movie.

Is there anything you do to discover small creatives? Musicians, artists, writers, game devs, people doing original work tend to get buried on social media. I feel like I need a skill refresh and more resources to stumble on interesting new work not tied algorithimically to what I already like.

My favorite thing about the Final Fantasy TCG is that they will print cards of the most nothing minor supporting character, sometimes even with brand new art, pulled from a game 95% of fans haven’t played. And I have to imagine this annoys anyone who is less of a freak about it than me.

The core message of FFXI is that the world is flawed and fragile and that attempting to enforce perfection upon it would destroy humanity, ecologically, socially, and spiritually. It asserts that humanity must fight to protect its imperfection in order to endure

Nintendo is a big fan of a fake Latin chorus for climatic scenes: songs with vocals but no words. This invokes an operatic bombast without signifying much else. This may be to avoid feeding the lore nerds, who are a quarrelsome people.

i don't think i talked about how as a prank to my friends i edited the entire 2 hour run of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children like a ytp and passing it off as a weird link from 2007 i found on internetarchive heres the Sephiroth fight edited like a classic cartoon. The whole film is like this.
