[Updated Pinned Post, October 2024] You can find me mainly on discord (dm me if you're a mutual and I'll probably share my username) And also 🟦⛅ at falconsquill.bsky.social I also have a tumblr with the same name but tbh I don't use tumblr much anymore.

I'm sorry this entire debate is stupid: Yes, in a MODERN era, pirating games is an option for MOST people! However, if your PC or phone cannot run a game you want to play? A playthrough is a good alternative to understand the story/charactersl

Some of the worst and most inaccurate video game takes I've seen have come from those sorts of gamers.

Also if playing a game yourself is necessary to comprehend the story, then a lot of gamers need to go and play their entire library again because a lot of them do not actually understand the games they're playing. 100 hours in a game means nothing if you don't pay attention.

And tbh, even having a PS2, 3DS and old computer were lucky. Plenty of other kids I knew hardly had even one of those things.

I'm learning that according to Twitter I might not be a True Gamer because the only consoles I owned until 2016 were a PS2, a 3DS and a family computer from 2002 that ran Windows XP, so I had to settle for watching Let's Plays until I could afford a PS4/5 and PC myself.

@p5q9r8wnk @AlamoIqbal @BiXolotl But if people want to play anything more recent than something that came out 20 years ago, emulating on a phone won't cut it. If they can't afford current consoles/PC's then of course Let's Plays would be easier for them to access

@FalconsQuill @AlamoIqbal @BiXolotl Don't buy the laptop and get a Chinese android phone, always lunch above their price point. Any $300 Poco will emulate up to PS2

Man I would have loved to play god of war, but I couldn’t because I didn’t have s PlayStation or pc as a kid. So I had to watch people like jacksepticeye play it because I couldnt afford a console. To call someone a larper for that is honestly classist and privileged

Gaming is expensive, what part of that do people not understand? A PS5 costs $800, a Switch 2 costs $700, a middle-ground gaming PC can still be over $1000. Games themselves cost anywhere from $70-120+. Even many online services cost money.

"There's no excuse for not being able to play video games because you can emulate them on your phone" So as a Certified Gamer™️ my phone has only 64gb of storage and most modern games release with at least a 50-100gb file size. A phone with enough storage/power is like $1500+.

@AlamoIqbal @BiXolotl A cheap, basic laptop costs about $300 AUD. A PS5 costs $800 and each game released is usually $90-120. Even a PS4 was $400-500. One is a lot more feasible for someone to afford than the other.

@BiXolotl If you could afford a device to watch someone play it, you could afford a device to play it on, larper

@_rhodetodell Outside of that he'd be a wanderer, hunting dangerous predators, monsters or voidsent that had started to throw the local area out of balance. As WoL, he loses sight in his right eye due to Light/Shb but non-WoL, it's because he suffers a major injury there instead.

@_rhodetodell Ra'shan would eventually become known as an elite adventurer with a lot of knowledge about voidsent and ancient methods of casting magic, on account of his vieran elders teaching him. He'd occasionally even assist the Scions with problems concerning those things.

if your wol was, well, not the warrior of light, where would they be? what are they doing? how different would their life have turned out?

@_rhodetodell There are too many to list honestly. Thancred/Urianger, Red Hot/Deep Blue, Hector/Retsarra, Jullus/Zero, Sadu/Cirina, and so many other good ships

sorry more ffxiv engagement bait posting but i really like seeing everyone's responses while i study!! who is your favorite npc/npc pairing? all ships welcome here we don't discriminate. no wolships today, we're giving npcs some love. the warrior of light can wait a little :)

@sammylee_0 FF12 is also rated very highly and so are the first two of FF7R trilogy

@sammylee_0 My first was FF15 and honestly, it's still one of my favourites because of how real and human the main group feel. FF14 is my top favourite now but 15 is still very high up there

What's the first Final Fantasy game you ever played and did it become your favorite?

@SonicHero3D Although it has been a long time since I played OG FF7 so maybe I should give it another shot after I finish Rebirth

@SonicHero3D I tried playing OG FF7 about 5 years ago and it surprised me just how quickly you leave Midgar compared to it taking the entirety of Remake. It's definitely hardware/software limitations of the 90's but it was jarring how quickly the story rushed some things

Alright, I'm now 10 hours into FF7. I know it's the OG, and the Remake does things differently. But in a weird way, OG feels like an ABRIDGED version of the story to me. Moments and pacing are faster...and I kind of don't like that. I still think OG FF7 is pretty great so far.

console in 2014 was a PS2 and a 3DS, I engaged with vise games that were current at the time by watching other people play them. Gaming is an expensive hobby and so many people forget that it is.

I have a gaming pc, I own a ps5, and I sometimes buy some new games that sit up around the $90-110 mark. I haven't bought a Switch 2 yet though because I can't afford to drop $700 on just it right now (no games included). Before I could afford any of this, when my most current

Twitter when people can't afford to spend $800 on one console, and then $90-120 for every new game that releases on it and an additional $700 for another console that has an $80 exclusive game on it, or buy a $2000 gaming pc, so those people decide to watch Let's Plays instead:
