"The pilot did not survive the interrogation."

GOOD

I've been hired many times merely from submitting a resume and interviewing, and not knowing a soul.

Many such cases!

"Harris regime"? She's not even president yet. Maybe he's gone Slaughterhouse Five and thinks it's 2028?

It had some problems but it swung for the fences and you gotta respect that.

Unfortunately, I believe the huge loss caused Hironobu Sakaguchi to resign, and FF was never the same after that.

I've played both. Xenogears is a personal favourite of mine, though Xenoblade is years ahead of it in terms of gameplay/presentation. Not to mention it actually being finished!

XB:C doesn't go into nearly as much religious mysticism as XG did, though. So there are fewer vague terms thrown around near the game's beginning. That was kind of a disappointment for me, despite XB:C including some theological elements late in the game.

I'm sure no one follows transwomen around looking for excuses to call the cops on them.

And I'm sure nowhere has made existing as a trans person into a sex crime.

Make it in Quebec instead of Vancouver and call it LeReBoot.

Am I a government, dreaming that I am a butterfly?

Or am I a butterfly, dreaming that I am the government?

Isn't that what everyone was saying in 2016?

What's the point of spending so much money on stuff like this?

They are simulating an ENTIRE UNIVERSE. The janky physics are actually because they're correctly adjusting for the gravitational influence of billions of stars. Or something.

Transformers used one of the Valkyrie toys as like Starscream or someone early on.

Jetfire, who was named "Skyfire" in the cartoon and given a moderate re-design (and stopped appearing soon after the first season), because the toy design was licensed from Bandai, and Hasbro/Takara didn't want to include what was basically free advertisement for their competitors' design.

Battletech did snag the Valkyrie robots from Macross at some point (though I'm not too knowledgeable about that franchise)

A company called Harmony Gold owns the American broadcast rights to Macross, and has been infamously litigious about defending their IP, despite not using it much. It's a hell of a story, which continues to this day I think.

Every time I feel self-conscious about buying Lego or Transformers, I remember that Funko Pops are a thing.

Don't be stingy with Psi powers. Magic Butterflies are commonly encountered in dungeons.

Grinding is easier after defeating the boss of a Shining Spot dungeon. The enemies there run from you so it's easier to get surprise attacks and insta-wins.

You can only get the Sword of Kings before defeating the boss of the Stonehenge base. All the monsters in the area vanish once the boss is slain, and the weapon can no longer be obtained. That said, Poo is plenty strong without it - None of the super rare weapons/armour pieces are necessary to complete the game.

Psi Thunder is powerful but often misses. As long as there are at least four enemies remaining, it's guaranteed to hit at least one of them.

Managing your inventory by phone is a pain in the ass. If you visit Tracy at your house, you can swap items in and out of storage at will.

The hardest part of the game is before Paula joins your party. Don't lose heart if the game feels too tough until then.

You don't have to call your mom regularly to prevent homesickness. Homesick happens completely at random, whether you just talked to your mom, or haven't spoken to her for the entire game.

For liberals, justice is brutality.

For conservatives, brutality is justice.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

• MLK, Letter from a Birmingham Jail

That actually sounds like something I've experienced at some point. I HATE being interrupted, so I go out of my way to avoid doing it to other people. And I'm pretty sensitive, so I don't want to start off a statement by suddenly cutting through total silence, so I tend to speak softly. Fact is, I think people just tune me out without thinking. It's nothing personal, though I still feel shitty when it happens.

AHH! It’s a FEMALE!

AFAIK, the really good stuff is part of DC's Vertigo sub-line, like Transmetropolitan and Y: The Last Man.

"Ms. Smith, with all due respect and at long last, shut the fuck up."

Go back on Twitter and you'll be redeemed.

Almost like the training and focus required to participate at the Olympic level is incompatible with full-time work.

"Orlandu is Perfectly Balanced" and Other Lies the Guides Told Me

Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Development

Sorry, I assumed people would recognize the infamous "Katanas are underpowered in d20" copypasta.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

That's interesting. I haven't taken the Vancouver Skytrain regularly in a while, but I used to see transit cops do fare checks regularly. Maybe their reputation caught up with them.

The G@mers must be purged.

that is real, ultimate power.

Real ultimate power, you say?

I think there's a point where your position is so embedded in the clout sphere that openly supporting someone or something is effectively your only real job and you just have to keep up the kayfabe.

Looks like Joe Biden stumbled across some information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, fuck the two greatest movies of all time.

I just start fresh and try to resist looking up guides for as long as I can. I usually give in at the 5-6 hour mark, depending on the type of game.
