The reason I asked is because the issue is really about cache more than it is about cookies. You can clear cookies but if you leave cache alone it will help mitigate the problem a lot. I've tweaked things a bit so at least the background will be dark during that short pre-load period. I'll tweak things a bit more over time. Let me know if it helped at all!

I'll see if there is something I can do to tweak the behavior a little. Unfortunately the problem will not completely go away unless I change how themes work, and that will probably not happen in the near future. Is there a reason you are clearing cookies/cache so often? How often are you doing it?

I'm pretty sure the site doesn't have that sort of function. Check in your phone browser's settings to see if you have some kind of zoom enabled.

LOL no problem. GGs!

No, joystick. Why?

😃

Sorry I missed your message! Sent you an invite.

Anyone throwing down tonight? Just let me know the time and platform. 🔥🔥🔥

People who own this shirt but don't play Alpha games are frauds. 😤

I continue to say FF8 is the best FF, due to the broken battle system. Drawing magic from enemies is tedious, but the GFs and magic junction give you incredible amounts of freedom. Learning and equipping abilities based on GFs mean you can make any character play any role. Want to give Irvine the ability to res people? No problem -- just equip him with the GF with the Revive ability. Want to make Squall a healer? Give him the GF that has the Recover ability. Want your characters' normal attacks to cause sleep? Junction 100 sleep spells to their physical attack attribute. Make them impervious to fire by junctioning 100 fire spells to the elemental defense. Stuff you can do in that game is wild -- even if it breaks the game it's really fun. The game has its flaws but no FF before or since has let you have so much fun customizing things. It's also the only FF where mindlessly leveling your characters makes the game HARDER.

I don't know about current Filipino sentiment towards the Japanese, but I do know that Japanese occupation (which started in 1942 and ended in 1945) had disastrous effects on the country: Fighting continued until Japan's formal surrender on 2 September 1945. The Philippines had suffered great loss of life and tremendous physical destruction by the time the war was over. An estimated 527,000 Filipinos, both military and civilians, had been killed from all causes; of these between 131,000 and 164,000 were killed in seventy-two war crime events.[53][2] According to a United States analysis released years after the war, U.S. casualties were 10,380 dead and 36,550 wounded; Japanese dead were 255,795. Filipino deaths during the occupations, on the other hand, are estimated to be more be around 527,000 (27,000 military dead, 141,000 massacred, 22,500 forced labor deaths and 336,500 deaths due war related famine).[2] The Philippine population decreased continuously for the next five years due to the spread of diseases and the lack of basic needs, far from the Filipino lifestyle prior to the war when the country had been the second richest in Asia after Japan.[53]

The Japanese raped/pillaged/murdered their way across Asia and considered non-Japanese as inferior peoples. They weren't LIKE Nazis, they were just as bad and often even worse. They bayonetted babies, raped women, and chopped the heads off of countless civilians. Look up incidents like the Rape of Nanking for examples of how they treated local populaces. Prisoner of war camps were just as bad as concentration camps, and they performed inhumane experiments on prisoners. They also coerced or kidnapped women to be used as 'comfort women', which were basically prostitutes used to service the troops. Despite all the messed up stuff they did during the war, there are still Japanese who believe that these things did not occur or did not happen, and during the following decades the Japanese government has not always been willing to officially apologize or acknowledge past crimes -- it is a contentious issue in Asia. Right-wing political factions push history books that gloss over or omit Japanese atrocities during the war. The rising sun flag is a symbol of WW2 Japan and waving that around in Asia is like waving around a Nazi flag in Europe. There are a lot of horrible things associated with that flag. There are Japanese newspaper articles from the time interviewing soldiers who had decapitation competitions during the invasion of China: Contest to kill 100 people using a sword - Wikipedia There are a lot of bad feelings towards Japan in southeast Asia too. South Korea and China have more clout though, so you usually hear about them. A large part of Japan's so-called 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere' was made up of Southeast Asian territories, and they treated the local people just as badly. It has been quite a few years now and a lot younger people love Japan because of games and anime -- but the crimes were very real, and there are people still alive who can remember the fucked up stuff that happened back then.

I am out today but will be free to play tomorrow. Who's looking to get stomped? 😃

Hey! I really like MK11! 😔

FF7 came out in 1997. There are tons of people playing games today that weren't even born when the game was first released. Add on the fact that JRPGs aren't nearly as popular as they used to be, and it's perfectly understandable that lots of people don't know who he is. FF7 Remake got all sorts of hype when it was announced, but it was mostly coming from old people. Sephiroth is an old man's character. 🙃

Testing out builds for my new main. Picking abilities is a lot of fun -- reminds of the f2p fighting game Kwon Ho. Anybody remember that? It was a 3D fighter where you customized your character's moves. Remember having tons of fun with it as a kid. 🙂

Alright I have a new main. Who's gonna help me test? 😎

It has come to my attention that Kano is now not only good, but popular as well. ...as a fighting game character hipster and low tier warrior that means I can no longer use him. 😩 Time to find a new main...

I bet the Toucan is really good.

Now now let's not get too crazy. SF4 is 12 years old. Don't spread your anti-SF4 agenda here.

Waiting for Cyberpunk implosion when people realize it's just a game and won't cure cancer/get their ex-girlfriends to love them again/raise their dogs from the dead.

I'm not sure what the issue is now, but the article is fine. COVID is a thing, scientist gets raided, Florida is a shit show. These 3 things are facts. Everything else will be revealed in due time. If people want to talk about it then it's fine. Btw official MEGASHOCK stance is that COVID is real. Carry on. Nobody needs to get banned atm.

I might not get into Cyberpunk for a while, but do what you feel. Don't need to go all out and make a Resetera/NeoGAF-style super thread with graphics and everything though. Unless you want to.

Ayyyy sup bitch. You rang? 📱🎶

Yes, let's keep it to Transformers pics and memes. Idk what sparked the beef but it ends now.
