If you say, “you should watch the movie how the director intended.” You generally get broad approval. We even celebrate “director cuts” and “original format” releases.

But if you say, “you should play the game how the designers intended” you are like a breath away from being dogpiled. Strange.

A favorite of mine is this scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The scenery above, below, and to the left and right of Shatner and Nimoy are all a tiny budget-saving model with a hole in it that the camera can see the actors through

Decades before Kendrick turned a Super Bowl performance in a hater masterpiece, John carpenter made an entire blockbuster film dedicated to how much he fucking hated Reagan. And it ruled. THEY LIVE fucks despite weird pacing and a stiff main actor and an uncomfortably long fight scene.

The chief lesson of final fantasy tactics advance is that escapism can never heal you, but friendship can.

The chief lesson of final fantasy tactics advance 2 is escapism is rad and cool and has no bad sides ever and you should blow off chores.

The chief lesson of Final Fantasy Tactics is that real heroes will be demonized and attacked and erased, not celebrated, by those in power.

It does, just not in vibe or themes. FFT is set in the implied post apocalyptic aftermath of the 12/advance setting. The locations and treasures you find in errands, and the references to airships etc, have been there since the beginning…they just weren’t the focus.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

"my child could make this"

are they making it though? as in, do you let them? are they allowed to pursue art and the joy it provides? are they creating? its so hard to create nowadays. is your child given the abundance of freedom that creativity offers, or are they stifled by your judgemental mind?

Bluesky for the past month has been a negative place of constant bickering and inaction. So yeah, definitely a leftist space. Feels right at home.

Read this as “raccoons for a 2 player board game” and thought, “that’s a terrible idea.”

Anyway, Kami-sama is a fantastic 2 player catan esque game that plays best with a lazy Susan. Super unique and fun!

Going through that whole RetroAchievements thread with a bunch of dorks arguing for white supremacist content. There's exactly one post that everyone needs to see.

What pure joy it is to have a first strike double knight sword wielding Ramza. This is for 10 year old me who got save locked on Wiegraf.

I made these invites for my Eberron dungeons and dragon’s game!

An art deco invite in blues and gold. There is a city in the background with a title of A TALE OF TWO DAWNS with details of the address and time.

The back of the invite that says in cursive “Everybody wants to save the world, but no ones want to try!” It lists long form campaign, revolution and intrigue, cinematic and tactical, and two parties intertwined as features, then lists some system details like using 3.5 DnD.

Squire. SQUIRE ability. Thank you iOS keyboard, very cool.

Kamen Dad @kamendad.bsky.social · 7d

It’s a squirt ability, so set everyone to squire (units share some JP gain, so everyone being squire makes it go faster) and then throw rocks at each other for a fight or two. Then equip jp boost as a passive ability, and you’ll gain about 50% more jp!

My archer was like “I often look like I’m lost without a thought in my head…because I am.” Too real, Bertrand.

Kamen Dad @kamendad.bsky.social · 7d

Follow guides for secret characters, but don’t use them for anything else. Also make sure Ramza can handle his own since there is at least one one v one fight lol

Kamen Dad @kamendad.bsky.social · 7d

My advice to start is rush jp up by making everyone squire but leave items as secondary. With jp bleed the more people in one class the faster you’ll unlock abilities.

Then experiment! Don’t follow a guide for guilds, just feel it out. Don’t grind. But! Be prepared for the dorter slums.

You can exit back to the map at any point now so these softlock moments don’t happen thankfully!

It’s not insignificant that the rebels in FFT do not see Tietra and Delita as part of the common folk. Those who serve and make their bed with corrupt power will always be seen as effectively the same as that power.

Stop willingly giving up power to evil.
