Should I buy Trails into Reverie

If you do, they have a bug where none of the new chars have any link abilities. 

So till it updates or i could send you a fixed ver, I recommend waiting.

Hard to do so when healthcare is tied to the workplace.

If we do a general strike, we could achieve something but a lot of folks are living paycheck to paycheck.

But mark my words, there will be a tipping point. We can only take so much and that tipping point is getting closer.

I got a big problem with that one too, especially if your talkin bout a case where DNA evidence can exonerate somebody

[Capt. Fargus]

Well I’ll be hornswoggled. Just got a msg sayin “your now a collaborator” 🤔

Whatever it is, I didnt do it 😳

There was an innocent man on death row last year who, thanks to DNA evidence and other new things even discovered some years prior, even the prosecution who put him there in the first place was calling for him to be released.

Texas still executed him anyway.

In uplifting news, to balance this out, Minnesota passed a new law making all public colleges and universities in the State free for Minnesota residents, Wisconsin's governor tricked the State's Republican legislature into increasing funding for public schools for the next 400 years, Michigan passed red-flag laws on guns and banned "conversion therapy", California is California.

I saw I review say that it's a decent entry point

I’ve seen that too, but like, there’s no way. They have to just be saying that.

And even if you don’t need a ton of prior info to follow the story, it still serves as the epilogue to 2 different arcs and has to spoil the shit out of them. Why would you choose an entry point that gives away the gist of 70% of the series? Especially because 2 out of 3 of the platforms with Reverie also have all of Cold Steel and Crossbell. Just buy yourself CS1.

If this is in reference to the meme I keep seeing, you should play Octopath 2. It has an even more Xenoblade moment than Xenoblade (probably).

There are two dozen of those at this point, surely you can't expect me to remember everything that happened in them.

I mean it was like the only memorable part of Doll Knight. But fair enough. Anyway, the point is, the black workshop has been set up since SC.

I have to get up at 4:30 to get a friend from the bus station. To avoid death, I went to bed super early, like bit past 21. That's the earliest I've gone to sleep since... ever, actually, even back in school I went to bed at 22.

I proceeded to spend six hours turning around and looking at the hour on my phone until now. I've admitted defeat, time to play videogames for two hours and hope I don't keel over at any point of the rest of the day.

The trying to go to bed early experience. I feel for you. I would grab a coffee, if I were you, but only if that would help, of course.

Prisons i guess. Cause our prisons are for profit, like we legit had state officials in some state worried they'd have to close down a prison because the number of incarcerations was dropping.

The current Supreme Court is just jacking off to the conservative wealthy right now. They're gonna take up a case that would allow them to declare taxing the rich "unconstitutional". Did you know all the conservative judges are really good friends with some of the nation's wealthiest individuals?

The good thing about modern American activism is that protests and movements don't have central leading organizations so it's hard for the government to kill off steam in a movement when in the past they would just assassinate leaders of the organizations.

The bad thing about modern American activism is that protests and movements don't have central leading organizations, so it's really easy for them to lose steam on their own without accomplishing much.

Thanks to the kindness of Bandai Namco, the world I worked so hard to create, and the maps I worked so hard to draw twenty years ago have been resurrected! Incidentally I was the one that named the title ‘Baten Kaitos’, but there was a lot of opposition from higher-ups at Namco to the name…we got it passed though!

In order to create a real sense of grandeur for the game with a limited budget and specs, I had to create and specify a lot in advance, such as the number of maps, NPCs and even enemies, details of playable characters as well as story and character design. And because of that there were no delays. Thanks to the understanding of each staff member; Kato-san – story and Nippori-san – character design.

The very first thing we named was the intercontinental airship. And then the world grew based on that keyword, expanded further by the story writer, and that was the flow. Using the names of constellations also helped localization as the words are universal, and that’s how it started.

Just another tweet Yasuyuki Honne has put out, certainly this time owing to the BK HD remasters coming later this year. 

Oddly, the Goldoba isn't named after a star (not the only place- Anuenue, the locations within Mira but not Mira itself), I don't think its name is borrowed from anything.

As for Namco's opposition to the name, I don't exactly blame them, adding the subtitle and BK:EWatLO is a mouthful that begins with what sounds to the uninformed like utter nonsense.😛

The early heavy outlining in detail doesn't sound like a bad planning decision. Limits organic flexibility and deviation later perhaps, but more direction isn't a terrible thing in the world of gaming development.

In the past, none of the Big Three offices had any term limits. George Washington didn't even want to do a second one, he only caved due to popular support but he said no more after that. Up until FDR, every President has followed that tradition, no more than two terms. FDR served three and a bit of a fourth, because he got hit with the double combo of Great Depression+WW2. After that, Congress passed a law preventing Presidents from serving more than two terms.

They didn't limit terms for themselves tho and still decided that Supreme Court judges get to be there forever unless impeached and convicted (lmao).

Side note, Washington actually hated political parties and warned against them. Not that the seemingly did anything about it but this was the 1700s. I guess he just assumed people would heed his words.
