That is actual factual FF3 in its updated re-released form. By the time the DS was around, Square-Enix had solidified their numbering worldwide to match the Japanese numbering.
It's also where the Job system was first created, so that's fun.

I'm in agreement with enjoying Era 2 way more than Era 1 in Mistborn. Majority is down to Sanderson just being a better writer, but also the lighter tone and better character dynamics.

Huh. Here's hoping it keeps up the level of character art and world building that Legends of Runeterra accomplished.

Been watching the spoilers closely, and so far, you're correct.
I know they can't include everything, but I do feel like the non-core games are underrepresented (FF4 is a personal favorite). I'm still hoping Rydia manages to sneak in.

I rate Shadowbringers, along with the patch content through 5.3, as some of the best video game content ever, if that helps any. Endwalker follows and is just a step behind, if you've enjoyed the journey.

Thanks Professor Graham!

And the devs even follow their own rules. As Imperial characters change roles or leave the Empire, they lose or change their middle title name - Gaius van Baelsar becomes just Gaius Baelsar when he's no longer a Garlean commander, for example.

His mechanics are great; pick your friend, everything weaker dies, then your friend runs off to outer space (leaves the battlefield), and he focuses entirely on his one on one.
Even better, he starts as a 4/4, even with a 4 player Light Party, then Shinryu is an 8/8, for a 8 player Full Party.

Agreed, but if it helps, there are private free servers up and running, and have for years now. All of them offer their own flavor of CoH and have new updates.

It's both mind-numbingly stupid AND a way to shift massive tax burdens onto the middle and lower classes, crushing us under even more debt so the ultra wealthy can swoop in and buy everything dirt cheap afterwards.

Having watched the video, I guess I'm just in a different position where I barely have a social media presence (and my job doesn't depend on it), I only use my PC to engage in social media (like this post), and my phone is mainly to play music, audiobooks, or for Youtube on the toilet.

Pearl Jam's awful cover of "Last Kiss". I was never a big Pearl Jam fan to begin with, the original is just okay, but that song grates along my nerves like a dull knife.

The Vtuber rabbit hole looms large, awaiting another soul, echoing with distant laughter and "BAU BAU".

Hoping its either a deck tech or a pack opening montage!

Newgrounds is the only site I even recognize, so it wins by default.

Elantris is the only Sanderson book I've dropped part-way through. Agreed that you can definitely tell its his first novel.

Video games > Music > Books > TV shows > Movies
Video games are a daily. I'll listen to music every day as well, but I don't discover new music very often. Books, specifically audio books, are not quite daily but almost. I'll rarely watch TV, and that's only streaming. Movies are very rare.

Evo Rogue is one of the key amazing animated goth girls that dug a permanent spot in my brain.
