It’s a shame how this game is flying under the radar. It adds so much to the series and I hope the lack of traction doesn’t dissuade future installments from continuing the fantastic features seen in this one.
I reviewed Octopath Traveler 0. I've loved this series, and I believe this to be the best one. Amazing writing, fantastic combat enhancements, and an okay town builder. Shocking it started life as a mobile freemium game.

The truth about Trump's economy:
-Inflation is still high, and beef and coffee prices are surging thanks to his tariffs
-Wage growth has slowed since he took office
-Unemployment is at a 4-year high
He's running the economy like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.
It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake in TikTok.
Everything is for sale.

Shit got more expensive and stayed more expensive so “being employed” doesn’t help you as much
I think this strengthens the case for Stancilism.
Immediate post pandemic economy was *weird* in a way that made it hard to compare it to similar years.
But we've got low unemployment and low inflation now. Very hard to make the case that now is worse than the Volcker shock.

Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax.
Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.

I despise dem leadership but this is the exact sort of shit they'll actually undo. Now the massive expansion of the surveillance state? Redefining terrorism to hit protestors? Enormous expansion of ICE? Those are up in the air.
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.
