  1. I’m trying to complete my Hard Mode Play through and DLC play through of FF7R before Rebirth comes out. I’m at Wall Market in the main game and really just started the DLC. FF7R dlc is really good so far. Squee did a really good job making chicken salad out of chicken shit when it came to Yuffies poor dialogue translations and characterizations from the OG.They’ve fleshed her out a great deal. She’s like genuinely goofy and funny while being charming, confident and grounded. Very mission driven but also can’t help the fact she’s an emotional teenager and an emotional person over all. Also, I love that Sonon plays into her confidence and pride of being a ninja and a Wutain, her needing to prove herself, and her insecurities as a teenager by calling her ‘Boss’. maybe I’m biased cause Yuffie is my favorite ff7 character but It’s great and subtle story telling all around. Cant wait until we see more of her in Rebirth.
  2. Finally sat down and played the FF7ReBirth demo. Lots of fun. Lots a little details they’ve added to the Nibel Incident to show that Cloud isn’t a reliable narrator and there’s something seriously funky going on. The way they also had Tifa semi-narrate also added to those facts and gave more layers to what happens later in the original. It’ll be fun to see how it plays out. Expanding on the Nibel Incident was cool. Playing as Sephiroth was cool. Even though you know he’s OP the fact the game makes Seph the leader to show off how powerful he truly is showed how little effort he put into the massacre. It made everything feel more impactful. YELLOOOOOOW PAINT 😂 The vacuuming up mako energy was dumb. As was the slow ass turning of the valve in the reactor. Materia Eater was a fun ass boss fight. im excited for the Juno update.
  3. Naw. She went to our local comic book shop and bought a bunch of back issues.
  4. My gf and I did Valentine’s Day early since she works all day tomorrow and I’m feeling pretty under the weather. She went above and beyond for me. The roses made of comic books are the most thoughtful gift I’ve ever received. (No key issues were hurt in the making of the flowers. 😂) She also got me some really cute Spider-Gwen socks and the blanket in the back in TMNT. I love it all and I love her. I hope anyone with a significant has a great day tomorrow. If you don’t but decide to go out for whatever reason, in the immortal words of Willie Nelson: “Go to bed at 2 with a 10 and wake up at 10 with a 2”
  5. And to think Wolverine was going to be a one-off villain of the week for Hulk until Claremont took over X-Men.
  6. They tell you about during the OG FF7 semi-4th wall breaking tutorials as you’re leaving 7th Heaven to bomb the second reactor. The dudes hanging out the munitions warehouse above the weapons shop tell you about it. It isn’t turned on before that (iirc). During the tutorial they tell you ‘they’re turning it on for you but you can turn it off in your menu settings’
  7. Also remember that older FF’s (and a lot of games in the 90’s and 2000’s in general) literally had the ‘cursor setting’ so you had an icon floating over your character at all times as well as blue/red arrows that pointed at ever exit and/or elevation change in the dungeon. IE Ladders and Ramps. A lot of people who’re bitching about the ‘yellow paint’ and it’s ilk either weren’t around, have selective memory, or are bitching just to bitch.
  8. I love that the Nickelodeon stream of the Super Bowl is just various Nick characters roasting the fuck out of the entire event
  9. This discord that has been going on about the demo has been fucking stupid. It feels like people are going to Dhalsim reaches to grasp at straws. the demo is great.
  10. Any successful political analyst or journalist should have every politician hating them for asking questions politicians don’t like answering or don’t want to answer. You press them and keep pressing. Don’t let up. Politicians these days don’t care about policies or peoples anymore. Just their own political agenda and their own personal profits Journalists should not be the friend of any political figure. Ever
  11. So the reports of Toys for Bobs closing weren’t completely accurate. While they’re currently under 100 employees (around 89) they’re still around. Microsoft closed their physical location as a cost cutting measure and the entire team will now work remotely from their homes.
  12. It was originally supposed to be a D+ series but they decided to turn it into a movie at the last minute.
