That sounds apocryphal.

"If weak to fire then cast Fira". You don't even need to have your characters learn the weakness first by scanning them, they just intuit every weakness.

Yoko Shimomura is actually my favorite JRPG composer. She did Kingdom Hearts, Mario RPG/& Luigi, and Radiant Historia before this game.

Her combat music always stands out to me in particular for being emotionally unconventional. Everybody else makes a battle theme and all that’s on their minds to convey is “cool and/or scary that violence is happening, throw in some grandiosity if it’s a big one” but she’ll do stuff like “the enemy is the panicked one here; they’re trying to front like they’re badass but actually I weep for them” or “you are losing a nonverbal rap battle.”

XV actually let me down a bit in that specific regard but the soundtrack as a whole is very solid.

That may be silly to think about but it worked.

It’s got a beautiful flow when you say it out loud, though.

Anything with a subtitle that isn’t a sequel or licensed game.

  • Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
  • Blood Omen: The Legacy of Kain
  • Condemned: Criminal Origins
  • Immortals: Fenyx Rising

That sort of thing.

Ever try holding your breath for as long as a TV or movie character is getting smothered to death? It’s not even uncomfortable.

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment, exo means outside.

Training it on research papers wouldn’t make it smarter, it would just make it better at mimicking their writing style.

Don’t fall for the hype.

When they stop feeling clean. Why are you all counting days?

Does he think a tariff is a ban? Is that why he’s always so confused when people describe them as being like a tax around him?

The argument against cars also holds that people should live in places where cars aren’t necessary to avoid hermitude in the first place. You don’t need cars to socialize if you can walk to where people are, you don’t need cars for supplies if you can walk to where stuff is.

Long distance travel can have non-car solutions but also it shouldn’t be the default distance to be away from society.
