@theWellRedMage It's mechanically simple (for better or worse,) which makes it an easy entry point. Little grinding required, no choices to make about characters, classes, etc.

Seems like Final Fantasy IV (II) is the most common answer here and across other socials!
Red@theWellRedMage
Since this is a series that has a fair influx of new players, where should someone start with the Final Fantasy games?

@JadeAtrophis I'm told it was a pivotal moment when the soviets accused the US of feeding dog food to our elderly and poor, because the people responded, "They have specific food just for dogs?"
English
Yeah as it turns out people like having the food they need to survive and communism doesn't really supply that
Albert Gil 📕@LarryAlbertGil
People in the 1990s didn't have the word to express it, but the USSR fell due to treatlerism

Academic science stands on a threshold of legitimacy. Will we accept changes to the model to ensure legitimate work gets published? Or will we find ourselves buried under an avalanche of slop, paralyzed and indecisive but just hoping to muddle through?

The first studies of the size of the AI footprint in scientific journals, preprint repositories and peer-review reports indicate a rapidly evolving situation that it is difficult to get a handle on go.nature.com/4uxhwgQ

@TheMuppetPastor "For all his flaws"
I know his music was good but that's underselling some profound evil on his part.
English
Something that’s hard to explain to a younger audience: Michael Jackson made his music for EVERYONE around the world and hoped to bring people together. There wasn’t this idea of making music for one gender or race. His themes were never meant to be exclusive.
Today we have artists who go out their way to disparage others with “hot takes” or to virtue signal.
Michael knew better. He wanted a better world and showed unity in music was one way of getting there. For all his flaws, I think he shone brightly in this area.
People are responding well because 1. His albums are timeless classics and 2. We inwardly crave a simpler time when everyone was allowed to love the king of Pop.
🎸 Rock History 🎸@historyrock_
Michael Jackson is currently the MOST listened to artist in the WORLD

Look, most people are polite enough to not say it outright, Bee.

If you enjoy telenovelas, that's great for you. But this bears no resemblance to D&D as I've ever played it.

Am I the drama? 👀

@alexthechick Given the role of remittances in the scams, I would bet there's some level of organization happening.

How did home health become the preferred scam?
Brent Scher@BrentScher
Columbus, Ohio, home to the second biggest Somali population in the country, has become overrun by the taxpayer-funded home health industry. Billions of dollars. @lukerosiak went to see for himself. Here’s part 1: dailywire.com/news/medicaid-…

@TheMiddleborne All the lightsaber variants in the extended Canon were a mistake
English
@Protestia It's kind of a weird article. Defends the statue as a thing while calling out the theology that produced it. Probably trying just too hard for nuance.
English
Follow this for a second- which is the sort of thing Protestia documents. 🧵🧵🧵
In 2019 Tish Harrison Warren, an Anglican priestess with the ACNA, wrote an article for Christianity Today detailing the actions of transgressive Lutheran impastor Nadia Bolz Webber, who melted down ‘purity rings’ into the shape of a woman’s ladyparts and gifted it to pro-abortion feminist, Gloria Steinem.

interesting thing about disney in the aughts is that they came to hate themselves and so by extension their audience and apparently made a series of movies highlighting this contempt

@ThePurpIeKnight watched it for the first time the other night and it was much more charming than i had expected it to be, although i still have complaints
English
Guys.
I feel like I'd whip out an X card if someone said they're excited to "play DaD".
Harmony Ginger@Gingerblast
Just saw someone use "DaD" to abbreviate Dungeons and Dragons and they need to understand that this violates an unspoken rule
English
Honestly barely remember what my wife’s wedding dress looked like. If we didn’t have pictures I’d have no idea. All I remember is seeing the most beautifully radiant woman on earth walking down the aisle and becoming my bride

@gavinortlund My favorite part is the narrator going "Bro, where do you think you are?"
English
Insightful passage in The Great Divorce. It describes a "Theological Society" in hell.
The group is marked by "a certain lack of grip" and "regrettable jealousies." The visitor plans to read a paper lamenting that Jesus died too young, before he reached his full stature.
English
oh that reminds me to measure the floor vents and order mesh screens for them like I meant to four years ago
I don't even want to know what's ended up in there
Cosmic Bagel@universal_bagel
refusing to put mesh screens in floor vents is anti-natalist

@Duddly_Three im dont mean to be critical. im a huge fan of anal

Glad to see the "ancient Americas were evil" song and dance is still going strong; letting people who don't read books enjoy their historical imaginations
eigenrobot@eigenrobot
I'll take any excuse to talk about the Moche and adjacent cultures of Precolumbian South America It's amazing how bad society can get and how it can persist in horror
