    When the game went from 1 alien to many aliens was when it outstayed it's welcome for me.

    Most everything else was paced well enough and fun but by then it was too long and the last portion of the game after that was more about having enough flamethrower ammunition to keep the aliens at bay as your sprinted

    Def means my next phone I'm buying I make sure has a micro SD slot...

    I love emulation on my phone as a hobby and his is hitting the sweet spot where by the time I need to upgrade again in a few years everything up through PS2 generation should be full speed even on mid tier phones that typically still offer micro SD

    And 8 tb of micro SD is enough space to carry literally entire romsets for every system I like besides PS2/GameCube which is fine.

    Bigger question to me is why haven't the hackers just uploaded the details to like pastebin or some other neutral data upload site ? That seems to have been what was done in the past and in turn given the media free reign to share the info

    I loved a lot of ps1 era rpgs

    One that always stuck with me was Legend of Legaia

    Never met anyone who played it and the sequel on ps2 was terrible.

    Some unique things I never saw in a turn based rpg again:

    1. Armor you could buy and equip per slot and you were able to mix and match.. This meant you could look really stupid when farming money for different sets but it was exciting to get a new item and equip it and see

    2. This was a turn based rpg but had some inspiration from arcade fighter games of the time.. You would enter your attacks like up down left right x y z and then say ready and your character would do a combo.. You could randomly enter combos and learn new specials and finishes etc.. Also a lot of ways to learn them through exploration and such

    Not unique the game has a ton of fun side quests, games and secrets as well..

    Yeah I started suspecting something like find could be impacting younger generations fertility rates as well but most the people I have known had issues on the woman's end.. Like endomitriosis causing blockages etc. I haven't spent a lot of time researching it myself but I wouldn't be surprised that not only are we economically disadvantaged but the rampant pollution is also driving lower birth rates for those who even try

    I agree with most the points others in this thread make about the economy having gotten worse such that it discourages more kids.. I have a decent job and if I had a second child I think I would never have a chance at retirement.

    I am also curious about rising infertility.... My wife and I had go through ivf to even have one child.. This after 7 years of trying..

    Several of our peers and friends have struggled with this as well.. It could just be a coincidence but we only know around 20 other couples outside of work and at least 6 of them have not been able to produce children naturally.

    The only non fromsoft soulslike game I have ever gotten excited at the mention for was the The Last Ronin one in the TMNT universe some publisher supposedly is making.

    An adult setting tmnt with souls like bosses and the option to make your own builds based on the various weapons of the different turtles just sounds amazing.. Esp the big mutnant monster options etc etc

    FF12 had some bullshit chest near the beginning of the game.. If you opened it you lost the ability to 100% the game and get the Zodiac spear ( reportedly some ability to get one in a very tedious grunts fashion but it's been ages)

    Basically the straw that broke the camel's back for me with ff.. The games story and combat was already a let down after they dropped the turn based combat like all of them ff1-ff10

    But yeah generally I dislike many soft lock mechanics or illogical things that punish you for just playing the game.. Oftentimes these were put in games just to sell strategy guides.

    I'll chime in that a degree in accounting or finance can get you far.. Most here will mention engineering/medical/programming. They also will likely bemoan the finance and accounting folks they work with as useless.

    I'll agree that due to many burrecratic choices c-suite leadership make there are a ton of inefficiencies but there is always a ton of work to be done and the skills can transfer to quite a bit of companies.. Even very large corporations just end up having horribly inefficient processes and constant churn in leadership switches it up a lot.. So if your someone who knows accounting and finance well and can think learn to bridge the never ending gap in tools and people requesting data you can do well.

    I remember being stuck for a long time after clearing most mansion and the like garden area.. Bout the time when the fish type monsters show up.. I needed a certain key to open a door to progress and basically you had to unplug a dirty tub in one room but It took me like a month to click there cause it wasn't obvious.

    The resident evil series back then really got you immersed in scrounging for clues and many things were not visible.. It really combined well with the atmosphere.. Wasn't easy to just check online if you were stuck..
