Unfortunately, they also reward bad games.

Oh. Huh. That seems important. I wonder what they have to say in response.

XD yeah no I meant just ironic edgy blasphemy

No, my child. You are where you belong.

Oooo, I haven’t had the Lindt ones. Nicest packet ones I’ve had are the Ghirardelli ones that come in different flavors. Those are always delicious. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled at the store for the Lindt ones though.

What’s the best hot chocolate/cocoa you’ve ever had?

Do you know the brand Swiss Miss? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0610/5464/8564/products/image_86ef1f17-7772-48b2-a5a5-248a650eff8d.jpg?v=1677099961

Very cheap. Very nostalgic. Very shelf stable hahaha

Edit: also this stuff https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YpaO6M8QL._SL1500_.jpg

Insanely nostalgic for long roadtrips where you’d stop at a rest stop in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and stretch, and there’d be people with hot water, styrofoam cups, and packets of tea, coffee, cocoa, and cider for free. Core memory, right there.

Lol not IN the kettle, but made with the hot water you get from the kettle.

Also I’m talking hot cocoa, not hot chocolate. Two different things, one is with water, one is with milk, at least in my casually defined book.

Yeah even with our slow, low wall-voltage, having a dedicated boiler is fucking nice. Takes up some counter space, but it’s worth it.

Cocoa, tea, coffee, whatever - it’s nice. And the vibe is nice.

Lol

Every single one of these people is a human rights violator and should be tried for such, along with being some of the most corrupt, hateful people in history.

WEATHER! Ah, that’s what that little gray smudge is supposed to be. I see it, now. I thought maybe it was semen in water or cotton or like black and white tie-dye.

Well damn somebody I can’t remote the something

This guy unfortunately and unironically exists and likely has more power than anybody on the fediverse.

Our ignorance is godly.

Unchecked consumer-grade RF signals that are broadcast in every direction are insecure??

Color me shocked!

I haven’t really been following it or him (I don’t really even know much, other than the gist of not wanting games to disappear when devs decide it’s too expensive to keep the servers). What did he do? Because normally he gives pretty good takes.

Maybe SE should set aside a smaller team to make FF games that are turn based? Just the zealots and the necessary people. Sure it would splinter the company essentially, but I’d rather them be splintered and still make games that I want to play, then be cohesive and be all animations and bad.

Personally, due to the roots of FF, I think the core team should be turn-based, and the spin-off titles can be non-turn-based.

Edit: (Fuck. What am I even arguing against… I don’t even give a shit if they’re turn-based or not, I just want them to be fun again and not shitty.)

12 was turn based. But bad. Those were bad changes. FF somehow started going in the wrong direction with that game.

I don’t think anybody hates real-time combat. That feels like a strawman.

I think when it comes down to it though, there are huge demographics in the gaming community that are underserved and craving something that the industry has turned its back on because of loud people hating on turn-based combat.

Expedition 33’s success is simply a validation to the gamers left waiting, and to the developers that indicates that not all gamers hate turn-based combat, and maybe it isn’t an age thing.

In a different perspective, though, I hate the executives and studios who rely on others to lead, and I see it as spineless. If you were a developer afraid to make what you thought was fun because you thought you couldn’t maximize your sales around a combat system (cough cough square enix cough), you’re chicken shit.
