  • Two that really stick out:

    1. Final Fantasy X, the ending when Yuna rushes to hug Tidus and falls through him because he’s starting to fade.

    2. Life is Strange Before the Storm. (Spoilers) The ending with the camera flash. I played the first game. I knew Rachel died. But I lost myself in “this” game where she’s alive. Forged a wonderful romance with Chloe and everything. I remember it was like 3AM when I finished the game and when it faded to the shot of Rachel’s phone sitting on the table with tons of missed calls and the camera flashing in the background, I just involuntarily blurted out “Oh FUCK YOU!” It was a painful reminder that no matter how happy you make her, she dies in the end.



  • I made no changes to any of my posts or comments, though I haven’t been particularly active on Reddit. It has been un-usable for a long time for me because it seemed like every time I tried to make an original, thoughtful post, it would get auto-deleted by a bot because I didn’t include the correct “flair” or some other non-sensical bull, yet others could just spam those same subreddits with memes and nonsense without issue. I would comment occasionally, but that’s about it.

    It might be a good idea though to go through and check my comments to see if anything looks out of sorts or was edited without my permission.




  • If you’re a billionaire, you didn’t get there through hard work and perseverance, you got there by lying, cheating and manipulating others. There’s not one single person in this world who has personally created a billion dollars worth of value. Not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, not Bill Gates or the Waltons, nobody. The wealth they hoard is generated collectively by their ideas, the work and contributions of their employees, taxpayer funded services like roads and railways that facilitate their ability to do business, the products they use that are produced by other people and companies, etc. If you’re a billionaire, that means somebody else along the way (or many somebodies) isn’t getting their fair share.


  • He’s impulsive and doesn’t know when to shut up. I got the distinct impression that, initially, he was absolutely not serious about buying Twitter. It was a joke/jest. BUT, because his antics affected their stock price he actually got forced into the purchase and now he’s desperately trying to figure out how to make the purchase worth what he actually paid, which is fine and all, except he seems to be leading by impulse, not by consensus or logic. He wakes up in the morning, has some random ass idea and implements it without any oversight. Even his new CEO straight up admitted that she is basically a straw man CEO who will offer no friction to anything Elon wants to do.





  • I wonder if they realize that, according to the laws of physics and thermodynamics, the amount of heat and energy they consume and put into the world in order to produce those ice blocks, actually exceeds the amount they’re removing. So making ice blocks might help in the short term, but in the long term, they might actually make it worse, if not for the arctic, than for other places on the planet. Unless they’re doing other stuff like planting trees, the best they could ever hope for is to simply break even; to cancel themselves out.




  • On one hand, what he’s “saying” isn’t wrong, at a fundamental level. A corporation should have to follow the same laws as everybody else. That said, it’s kinda obvious that Disney has had no major issues arise from their special status in Florida, and the only reason he’s going after them isn’t because he wants to level the playing field, it’s because they had the guts to stand up to him and his hateful policies, so he’s trying to be seen as “tough” on big corporations to bolster his chances in the presidential election.
