How many Philosopher Kings do we have here?

I self-inflicted some pain like that for me as well.

I got close to the end of Act 2 and my friend said that the difficulty was too easy and I was breezing pass everything and to switch it to Expert. Well guess what. I didn’t level, upgrade or put my Pictos in a way to deal with it. So most of my boss fights turned from a close-win into 45 minutes of me dying a lot. Like, I’d be one-shotted so often.

I then took some time and then cashed in some Lumina for stories and then actually put some strats in and went through the skill tree. I think it was worthwhile in the end but it totally changed the experience for me.

I really wanted to like the remakes.

Playing the FF7 remake felt really dated in terms of a lot of things. After playing God of War and others, the cinematics felt cheesy and less cohesive now in FF … I didn’t care for much of any of the voice acting. A lot of the side quests didn’t fit “in world” to me. The heck do I care about some lost kittens? Why am I figuring out this time-wasting crane control? … Also, not sure what’s going on with the “ghosts”. I didn’t like the combat and found it annoying. Which is strange because I enjoyed FF15: The backstreet boys edition and even Guardians.

On the positives, I felt if I could take a screenshot of any part of the game and sent it back to the younger version of me … My mind would be blown. I’d just stop the game several times to just admire the scenery and the look.

Everyone loves FF 7 remake and all that and I know I’m in minority but it put me off Rebirth. I’m happy other people enjoy it now though. I just wish I was one of them.

City of God - movie about the struggles of growing up in a tough spot in Rio de Janeiro, it’s just great

Gattaca - my favourite sci fi film, it’s just a simple concept … what if we could tell who you were going to grow up to be, just from your blood

🙄

I’m a talkative person and also quite shy at times! I’ve been called both quiet and too loud/too much.

It happens. I don’t feel the need to put them down as I didn’t think that was their intent to do so to me.

I think the patient was like a tyrant dude played by James Earl Jones: https://house.fandom.com/wiki/President_Dibala.

I’ll join you in the downvotes. There’s many reasons to hate YouTube. Asking them to pay for video content to everyone for free is a bit silly.

I’m also not saying you shouldn’t use alternatives or run an ad-blocker. Those are cool. I just find it funny how someone is saying: “I get some benefit in paying for this service” results in such backlash, lol.

I’m not the guy replying and I agree with you “to a degree”. Although I got burned out listening to the “other side” for years. I don’t even really listen to “my side” … or at least I don’t think. The right-wing manosphere loves culture wars and complain about people starting culture wars so much to me it’s tiring to listen.

I do admire your ability to go through it. I think I probably would have kept listening if the “other side” wasn’t in charge of so much and reeking havoc.

I remember someone asking about Jon Stewart and The Daily Show during the Bill Clinton administration if he could keep doing his comedy if times were bad. He said something to the affect of, it works better when times are good. Which always struck me as funny because he flourished even moreso afterwards and was then accused on loving the bad times so much because he profits from it by lazy journalists. Anyways, I ramble a lot >_>.

How you enjoying After: Earth? I’m finding myself being less interested with every new episode.

I’m sure whoever is in charge into the government, who will have no interests in this, is going to definitely look into Tesla. /s

My friend’s a chef and his wife is a picky eater and so are the kids. It’s crazy the lengths he goes to to make sure that everyone will eat.

The way I was raised was that I had to eat everything that was given so I’m kinda blown away at this.

Yeah, I pointed out how the Dems weren’t as bad as Trump and they say I’m promoting genocide.

Idiots or bots? I don’t know. If they’re being earnest, I get that the corporate dems are in Israel’s pocket and stuff. No denying that, but like you said … the Republicans haven’t stopped it as far as I can tell either.

Quite similar to me. I just barely care enough about my parents. Also, thanks to the financial situation we’re in … they’ve decided to move into my house and not move out.

Like I earn decent change (not enough for two mortgages, mind you) but I’m already in my forties and I’m waiting for them to pass. I’m barely mentally holding onto living this day-to-day life while not freaking out on them on the regular.

does vacuum sealing actually do any damage? I thought if you open it up it’s unharmed.

I understand all of that, but my parents that won’t move of my house will absolutely not use them. They’d rather sit there with the water running for hours while they watch soaps.

Looks like it’s from the late great Michael Brooks

Right because lesbians should only exist in pornos (like the GGW ones Snoop promoted at one point). Definitely not in real life, right Snoop?

Fucks sake, we can’t depict two people in love because you can’t explain it to your grandson? Should we not depict space travel or is he a rocket scientist that we don’t know about?

I mean, my favourite TV show does that all the time! Scrubs can swap on a dime. Then again it’s made by the masterful Bill Lawrence.

I agree with the banter with others. I do it with my friends. The thing is this … it has to go both ways and if they can’t jab back I usually give them a smile/hug and make sure they know I’m being a jerk. Like, they should be smiling after I take a jab at them.
