I’m quite fond of communism, personally.

Needing to speedrun the game for a sword that you can barely use is hilarious. The Final Fantasy team sure knows how to make grueling sidequests.

Reminds me of the rainbow frog hunt in 15 where you need to keep your ears keen for ribbits while you search every single body of water on the map. But at least there you can just look up where the frogs are and get a ribbon out of it. My heart goes out to the gamers who did it legit

Slight nudity? That’s complete nudity lol. Why does that guy need to present himself to a dozen people I don’t get it

You can play the dlc whenever, even before the main game if you feel like it. Does it work if you go to the store directly from the game’s title screen?

Have you played any of the DLCs? The Prompto one gives you lore that really should’ve been in the main game and the Ignis one gives you an alternate ending that’s really touching. And the Gladi one gives you a topless outfit (very important).

Also the final dungeon is the most absurd thing I’ve ever played, I can’t believe I’ve never heard anyone mention it! If you don’t know what Pitioss is, you gotta discover it for yourself. It’s absolutely ridiculous, an utterly deranged choice in a game already full of them. 15/10, wouldn’t change a thing

Is this a bit? I meant that the ellipses, in this context, mean that the nines go on forever. Obviously there are other symbols used to represent similar ideas, like ∞

The ellipses mean infinity. Anything less than infinity and the equation is false. It looks unintuitive because infinity is unintuitive

Yeah this game is full of strange choices - I played it blind so I didn’t know the point of no return was halfway through. I have gamer brain so I completed every available sidequest ASAP and by the time I was done, I was 50 levels above what’s recommended for the last few chapters. But apparently that’s how the game is meant to be played??? I literally forgot what the main plot was because of how much time I spent away from it. Vyv, Dave, and Sania each have more presence than the villains. And you have more chemistry with the beach resort chef than your wife hahaha

I still adore the game though! As far as I’m concerned, the political stuff is just pretense for the road trip and the devs should’ve spent even less time on it.

Intel is building a $20 billion facility in Arizona with financial support from the US government. NBC News reported workers are on the construction site for “two 60-hour weeks followed by a 50-hour week for months at a time in the hot Arizona weather with no paid vacation time.”

Many of these workers are coming from out of state and leaving their friends and families behind to live in temporary housing or hotels for months or years at a time. Josh Vitale, a superintendent for Hoffman Construction, the general contractor overseeing the construction of the Intel computer chip factory, told NBC News, “There’s a lot that goes into how stressful it is, not just physically, but mentally and psychologically … we have to realize that we are legitimately wringing the life out of people.”

They’re making workers leave their lives behind for months at a time to toil in the desert and live in sardine cans. With no vacation. Yeah it’s real surprising that suicide is on the rise and no young people are joining the industry.

Recently finished Final Fantasy 15 and I have to hold back tears whenever I think about the ending. It’s been a while since a game impacted me emotionally and I’m devastated. The last chapter was like a knife in my heart followed by another followed by another.

There’s still a ton of quests and postgame stuff left but to do them, you need to time travel back in the story and adventuring with your group just isn’t the same anymore after you know what’s waiting for them )':
