Aw man. Sorry to hear that. What a voice and performance, though! I can still hear him in my head.

OMG, I would lose mind over remasters!!! The story, writing, voice-acting, and design were all amazing. Gameplay was OK. Maybe they could give that an upgrade!

Personally, I could see this being one of two ways:

1. Someone actually was acting creepy or dangerous, and you either didn't pick up on it or didn't see this person/behavior as threatening.
2. What might be more likely is this guy making up that excuse to try and get (extra) 1-on-1 time with you. Or him trying to come off as a protector/savior, which I would consider a red flag (or at least yellow).

Damn, this is an epic project. Props to the Polygon people who coordinated all this!

Do you have kids...?

Are you using Voyager? I've noticed a similar thing and didn't know if it was a Lemmy issue or Voyager issue.

Wow, I didn't realize he was still with us. But the man was/is a baseball legend. A true inspiration! RIP.

Excited about this!!

Nintendo execs: No.

Damn. That's dedication.

Generally speaking, this might be fact. (Am American)

That's absolutely what's going on.

A fun way to combat this would be to get every artist to add giant, throbbing dicks to everything they create in Photoshop with the hope that it creates the thirstiest, nastiest AI model out there.

Hell yeah!!

I can't imagine Theoden as anybody other than Bernard Hill. He was perfect. RIP.

It looks like there's nothing I can say to make you see, but even accounting for inflation, the cost of living has been outpacing wages for decades! That's why the average US worker in the 1950s could support a home with their wages alone, but today, two people working full-time jobs still can't afford a home.

That's because the cost of living has been outpacing wages.

That chart lacks context. The cost of living has drastically increased with each generation as well, far outpacing the increase in wages.

Kinda looks like he has a hole going through him in the middle there.

I know this is the ultimate cliche answer, but it's gotta be Sephiroth for me. The original FVII just caught me at that perfect time.

Spoilers ahead...

When you play through FFVII (the original, that is--I haven't played the remakes yet), you only just hear about Sephiroth at first. Then you see some of the carnage that he's caused: the President of Shinra dead at his desk and the super difficult snake boss piked on a giant stake.

In one of the flashbacks, he's doing freaking research. That sounds boring and bland, but it was a level of depth to a villain that most people (or at least I) had never seen before. In another flashback, Cloud as a new recruit is with Sephiroth, and the difference in power is incredible. Sephiroth makes child's play of this enormous dragon.

The final battle(s) is fantastic, and his theme song--hinted at throughout the game by Uematsu's classic score--is iconic. Phallic imagery aside, the Masamune blade is simple but super cool. And he freaking kills Aerith?! Can he do that?! A friend of mine stopped playing the game for weeks after he got to that part.

A lot of these things are super common in games now, and I know there are several games before FFVII that had characters with this amount of depth (FFVI comes to mind), but Sephiroth is just the coolest, man!!

Sync?
