I will never understand people who ask streamers if a game's worth buying. Does it look fun? Can you afford it? How much free time do you have? Do you already have the console / a PC that can run it well? How big is your gaming backlog? Are you willing to wait for a sale / price drop? Etc...

Just rewatched Godzilla Minus One for the... lost count number of times. Truly one of the greatest movies of recent memory, regardless of budget, but the fact that they made it for under $15 million is just mind-boggling.

I only call out their disproportionate amount of dialogue, because of what we could've gotten instead, like some fun banter during the date scene(s). Having them run all over Gold Saucer not saying a word to each other just feels like such a huge missed opportunity.

Thought to break down the FF7 Rebirth script by word count instead. Chadley immediately jumped to 1st, with more words spoken than Cloud, Sephiroth, & Zack combined. MAI sits comfortably at #8, just above Cait Sith, Bugenhagen, & Johnny. #FF7Rebirth #MaxDood

Dammit, eBay! If you want me to use your advertising system, it's gotta actually work! Set a $25/day budget as a test. Come back in 8 hours. $65 spent & 1 $20 sale. Great... Makes no sense or cents.

If I do see something in theaters, it's almost always the first showing on opening day, often 2-3pm on a Thursday. It avoids most/all spoilers and it's almost always nearly empty, which has its many perks, but I do kinda miss the excitement of a crowded theater sometimes.

Just finished Captain America 4. Overall good, but not great, IMO, but I left wondering how much differently it would've landed in a different political landscape.

Things You Just Accept With Classic RPGs #37: -Nonsensical damage numbers Oh, Tifa... My light, my love! Nay, my everything! I'm sorry, but your kick, while mighty, should NOT do as much damage as getting shot in the face or being laser-blasted by Bahamut.

Apparently, I only disliked tamales because I only ever tried them at places that really suck at making tamales.

Let's see if I have enough mindless busy work to make it through this bout of major burnout. Got a mountain of cardboard boxes to break down first, then we'll see where that takes me.

This will forever be one of my favorite pieces of #FF7 artwork - an early concept drawing by Tetsuya Nomura

Stumbled on the full script for FF7 Rebirth, and go figure, Chadley has the 3rd most voice lines in the game, behind only Cloud and Barret. I don't hate him, but damn, I would've loved it a ton more if they replaced half those lines w/ some more fun banter between the main party.

Have you ever considered a "remix" of Immortality that uses clips of streamers playing the game as the top-level footage? @mrsambarlow.bsky.social

Any minute now... Been refreshing every hour or so to catch it. Not that impressive all-in-all, but hey, milestones are milestones.

NOTE: Many American corporations will use the tariffs as an excuse to raise their prices, even if they're completely unaffected (or only minimally so). Do not be fooled. Shop wisely.

Gods, I love Japan imports. So often "used condition" just means "someone once picked it up without proper white linen gloves".

Finally got around to getting a Blu-Ray drive for the PC, so I can test & backup my rapidly growing collection. Working through my TOHO collection first, then on to anime!

A lot of whining recently in an eBay sellers FB group I'm in about how low sales have been since "around MLK Day". I'd love to tell them exactly why, but there's a strict No Politics rule.
