First they came for the communists, and I spoke up because I believed in their freedom of speech. Then they came for liberal activists, and I stood up because I believed in their freedom of speech. Then they came for the pornographers and I spoke up because I believe believed in their freedom of speech. Then they came for me, and none of those motherfuckers gave a shit and I kind of wish they had all just been marched off to death camps.

I read through the entire long FF7 Revelation Denfamico interview with Hamaguchi. Here are some huge revelations (pun intended 😏) about the game and what we know so far, translated/summarized by me: -Player choice will have consequences unlike Rebirth, and this will affect the storytelling of the game. Each player might end up with a completely different experience. -The Highwind airship will be available from the beginning of the game -The wear system (jobs) will also be unlocked early on in the game. -New stories will be told regarding places not explored much in the OG -There are a lot of areas you can access with the Highwind early on, but you might not be able to proceed since enemeries are incredibly strong. They want players to have the feeling of "what should I do first?" -The scale of the 'open world' feel of the game has greatly expanded -Vincent gameplay allows him to switch between human form and beast mode with one button. There is no time limit, similar to how Yuffie uses her shuriken mode. -Cid is very adept at aerial combat -Vincent and Cid have synergy elements as well as with other characters too. -Zack will have even more scenes in Part 3 and plays an important role -The idea of multiple timelines is conveyed through Zack's presence and his part of the story -The replacement VA for Reno has been decided, and Reno and the Turks will have a lot of screentime in this game. -Wutai is incredibly fleshed out this time around, and the Turks will also be a part of it. Wutai will have a very political storyline involved. -Midgar is back in Part 3 and you can explore it again, and you may even encounter some Deepground characters as well... -Rocket Town is indeed in the game. Hamaguchi says they actually wanted it to show up in Rebirth, but they decided to have it in Revelation instead. It will be accessible towards the latter part of the story -The underwater area will appear in Revelation, but he can't delve into details just yet -Hamaguchi says that OG FF7's Knights of the Round summon was something that came up in discussions in every part of the FF7 Remake series. They are currently developing the content to be worthy of its epicness, so he tells fans to look forward to seeing how it will be shown in the game. -FF7 Revelation does indeed have an ending, and it is one that Hamaguchi is proud of that serves as a conclusion to a series that has taken more than ten years. As for what that ending will be, you'll just have to experience it yourself. -The affinity system from Rebirth will be different in Revelation. More focus will be put to some extent for all characters to flesh them out properly. -If you want to learn more about a certain character, you will be able to do so in a way that will deliver a different experience than the one in Rebirth. -Hamaguchi doesn't really like the concept of multiple endings and as a creator wants to deliver a confident ending to the FF7 Remake series; HOWEVER, player choice in Revelation will heavily affect what outcome you get that actually changes the storytelling of the game. -Mini games will not be less in number, but they are toning down the difficulty for players who had issues with them in Rebirth -The slap fight between Scarlet and Tifa is indeed still in the game and will be a mini game lol -The theme of FF7 Revelation is "resolve." Everyone has followed the journey of Cloud and his friends for almost a decade at this point, and the story is filled with determination as it heads to its finale. The development team has put their resolves into delivering something truly great for everyone to enjoy.

The Riddick movies were so much better than the Fast and Furious movies its not even close

There was no wash board on the track, the percussion was created by myself, I used a cabassa, foot stomp on a piece of wood & mouth percussion. The rhythm was emphasised by me playing a Gibson acoustic guitar without using a pick. Paul King emphasised Mike Cole’s stand up bass part by playing a glass jug, Colin Earl played an acoustic grand piano & I also played a 1960 Fender Strat with my fingers through a 1963 Marshall top as well as singing the two vocal tracks. The recording took place in Pye Studio one on an 8 track machine through a Neve desk & Tannoy monitors

So true!

On this day in 2003, Andy Serkis accepted Gollum’s MTV Movie Award for Best Virtual Performance and turned it into one of the greatest acceptance speeches ever. It was so good it won a Hugo Award the next year for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration. More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

@alexthechick I for one was quite fond of Heavenly Sword. Clearly God of War type game with a lady lead can work, so I can only assume that the reason to do this is to upset people who liked the existing franchise for the wrong reasons.

I am livid about this and I am more or less the exact person this game is supposedly made for. If female protagonists are so important, MAKE A BRAND NEW IP. Girl God of War is just insulting.

There should not be a single solitary H1B for an entry level position.

"my gay sex was holy" Yes, sterile carnal pleasure in defiance of God's natural order is surely pleasing to God. Remember the words of Jesus to the woman at the well: "Go and keep sinning, because I love that stuff."

He gave us the best depiction of the Emperor that’s been used for decades. We just got that new trailer from GW, but nothing will ever top this. RIP.

Impressive.

What do you know. The SPLC helped plan the Unite the Right Charlottesville Rally.

For the last century, from the Scottsboro Boys to Emmett Till to George Floyd, American communists have been pounding America and now the world with this brutal, cynical emotional propaganda weapon. Of course they don’t want their enemies to pick it up and use it on them

@RazorwireRPG Just recently replayed it with the restored content mod. The character progression is standout imho. There’s a number of very noticeable power spikes which are all story relevant. And yes, the writing is excellent.

Playing KOTOR 2 for the first time and loving it. I had forgotten how fucking great story based action RPG's could be. Only 6 hours in or so but already so impressed by the writing and design. Has that perfect balance of combat to narrative duality. Bliss.

Having our great cities be unlivable hellholes is a choice. Rarely is that choice on the ballot. Today, in Los Angeles, it is. Vote for Spencer Pratt.
