Outside the circles are the rest of the universe. i.e. all of the spaces where neither TRICK nor TREAT are true.

Edit: oh, why is a face there and not just orange? I think because it’s cute.

That’s just tragic.

If he’s a clown, he’s like Kefka. A little mad, a little genius, and a little bit…off.

We need more teen pregnancies because we need more babies to become low wage grunts to work and pay into our social services systems so old people can retire…?

I assume it’s similar to the argument Texas or Alabama or whoever used to argue they have standing against federal student loan forgiveness.

It’s nottheonion 🙃

Edit: also it’s marketing! It works. It got us talking about a snack product that no one ever talks about. We’re doing it right now.

They’re temporarily renaming them “Chilean Sea Bass Crackers”.

I miss Connectix. They made some special and weird hardware and software, mostly for the Mac, back in the day ♥️

I really enjoy Caves of Qud. But it’s not retro in any sense. I’d argue it doesn’t even feel retro.

TAS can be considered its own competitive speedrun genre, with its own players trying to optimize and reduce times further and further. As far as I know, very few games have reached a point of being definitively 100% TAS optimized.

Additionally, TAS often is the incubator for ideas and tech that human speedrunners can adapt for their own use, too.

Clint seems like a genuine, good guy.

Is human food actually delicious to dogs or is it just exciting to them that it’s people food and normally off limits?

I remember playing Mendel Palace at a family friend’s house and getting really far in it. What a delightfully quirky game. I’ll have to try the SFC version now!

What a legend. Take some well-deserved time for yourself.

Is it cheap for me to pick “Dancing Mad” from FF6. It’s just so epic, and it feels like it so accurately represents Kefka’s madness together with the seriousness and impossibility of what our heroes are setting out to do.

I know we don’t want to get too Science Fiction-y. I can’t help but think about the movie The Europa Report, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Are we praying that the disc loads, or are we praying along with the holy sounds that were the PlayStation startup sounds?

Mist Continent to Outer Continent for part one. They’ll beef up the escape sequence in Fossil Roo as the end of the first game.

They’ll add a bunch of filler and make Terra its own game.

Part three will be the endgame + the optional open world stuff before the endgame.

They’ll fit a part four by carving something else up too.

It’ll be a shame, too, since FF9 has a fun story and characters.

But they want more moneyyyyy 🥺

For what it’s worth even though it’s old, for me it still works well. Are you using something else I should switch to?

Also consider a free open source equivalent. I use it on my Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.
