@shirapon_FF14 With the new chat bubbles I’m happy to just run up to people and say hi :D

@liunkaya @TempusRimeblood If you like that then look up potion miscability! Drinking more then one potion within a timeframe can cause a lot of issues.

@TempusRimeblood I'm all up for spontaneous magic shenanigans backfiring 😳 Might ask my DM about putting on a bunch of rings

@BioreRunba The neat part is that mini guns are legal to own in the US! It’s also very expensive to shoot them because they use up ammunition very quickly!

@envinyon there's actually quite a few non-shitty CCs for ffxiv. They're streaming to less than 20 people though, and no one ever scrolls down enough to find them.
Take a chance on someone you've never watched before. You'll be surprised.

ngl I'm petty and I gotta admit I'm LOVING the NEST update today. It's so vindicating seeing all of this unfold.

@johnnysosmally I’m really hoping that they do end up bringing that charge after he’s forced to register as a sex offender so it hits 10x as hard!

🤭 Johnny Somali is projecting! Currently #johnnysomali is under investigation (for the 2nd time) for child sexual harassment. And here he is reposting a link about how lenient South Korea is with child molesters! Anyway, will this prove SK will be just as soft with Johnny?

@LorelaiLoch Don’t feel too bad, my friend skipped the entire story of expedition 33 and muted the music so he could listen to an audio book.

@theepicmap Now add little people building villages and you can play tabletop Populous!

Elevators used to be manually operated and were especially risky if the operator was tired or inebriated.
Now, you just get in, press a button and a modern elevator, if inspected regularly, is extremely safe.
James Stephenson@ICannot_Enough
Nobody is skeptical of autonomous elevators because nobody alive today was even around to see a human elevator operator in real life before the last one got laid off. Automation is far safer.

Johnny Somali says South Korea's travel ban on him is like an "unlimited tourist visa." Meaning, it did not discipline him or make him learn his lesson at all. So, if the judge gives him a soft sentence, that will only enable #johnnysomali. So, his apology STILL is meaningless 😉

@Grxit As someone who used to live in British Colombia, the Canadians west of Toronto already beat you to it

@TheChrisLambert @Saiaxs42 Hmm, have you played the original? Because the scenario you are using as an example is actually already in the game several times actually. Choices made eariler can affect situations later on. This game is renowned for a reason. Old BioWare games allow greater choice despite age

It’s just kind of the nature of progression. The Xbox had certain graphical limitations so there could only be so many NPCs at a time, spaces could only be so big, etc.
Like this is the cantina on Taris. It was fine for Xbox. But not a modern console. We’d expect more details, more customers, more of an actual cantina vibe.
That applies to pretty much everything. Like a quest might have been a simple “go from this part of town to this other part of town” because that’s all the system could handle. Now, it might be “go from this part of town, but someone tried to stop you along the way. Do you use the light side to persuade, fool, or avoid them? Or do you use the dark side and fight them, manipulate them, or threaten them?”

I applied for a job with the team working on the KOTOR remake. It was weird because it was for a narrative designer role but the game was supposed to launch in less than a year.
The office was down the street from where I was living so I grabbed a copy of a novel I had written and took it over there, thought it would make an impression.
It was 10am on a weekday. Went into the building. Signage said the company was on the 4th floor. Quiet elevator ride. Empty hallway. Their door was at the far end. Glass door. I could see that no lights were on. No desks occupied.
Tried the door and it opened. To my surprise, a lone person was there. Not even working but just on their phone. My attempt at banter went nowhere. I told them about the book. They said sure and took the book. And then went back to their phone.
I couldn’t tell if the person worked for the company or was like…a babysitter for the room?
Two months later, reports came out that studio leaders had played a final version of the game then fired two of the department heads and put the remake on hold indefinitely.
Made sense to me lol

remake now

@TheChrisLambert @Saiaxs42 What would you expand on? What do you think needs expanding upon? Not asking to be mean, just genuinely curious.
English

@Saiaxs42 Look at the FF7 sequels (not remakes). Same story but they expanded on a lot of it. I could imagine them wanting to/needing to build out some things
