Same here! I spent a lot of time in Midgar, so it felt like the whole game could take place there. But stepping onto the world map was an amazing experience partially because of how amazing Midgar was to me.

I played it as a kid in the 90s though, so that might’ve coloured my interpretation of it.

“Physical copies” is a big ask, considering they would also have to be selling the hardware to run those games.

To your credit, they aren’t actually selling most of their back catalog anymore, since their e-shops that sold games for the WiiU/3DS are closed down, and with them, the Virtual Console died. Now we’ve only got a subscription-based library to play a much more limited selection of old games.

Either way, it’s not Nintendo’s fault you pirate games. You want to play old games, and you don’t want to pay too much money for them, so you pirate them. Let’s be real.

Wow, Midgar was my favourite part of the original FF7! I remember thinking the whole game was going to take place in Midgar.

Why not a controller?

Implying that game cases end up in the trash… especially when they’re usually used to hold games these days?

You need to see more game collections! Haha

People have been deriding digital-only games for years and years now. While a stupid F2P game isn’t the best thing to put on a disc, I can see why people might want it.

It’s actually normal for a married man to lose his “separate” friends and end up becoming more family-oriented and friends with his wife’s friends. Or, if he doesn’t end up being in that group, he may end up turning towards work for some of that same camaraderie.

Your situation sucks. It’s not uncommon though. I hope that takes the pressure off of you.

30 is a bit of an arbitrary number. Maybe you could make 31 or 32 the big year, and focus on trying to find new friends (or rekindle old friendships) until then. It’s harder than it was when you were younger. But if you had friends before, you can probably do it again!

Don’t feel embarrassed about your situation. Don’t feel embarrassed about inviting your wife’s friends (as long as you actually like them, of course).

Your birthday is ultimately about you. Not putting on a show or proving anything to anyone else.

Happy birthday, and wishing you many more ahead with many loved ones. Family and friends.

Maybe 6. One prescription, and two dollar store pairs. I wear sunglasses pretty much any time I go outside unless there’s no sun. Year-round.

Sounds similar to where I live. The busybodies can be annoying, and fraud (etc.) can be a problem. But I won’t let perfect be the enemy of good to my opinion.

HOAs are rare where I live, but we often have property management that oversees multiple units to take care of and fund common elements.

They’re not all perfect, but most aren’t nearly as bad as what I’ve heard about HOAs.

Yeah, I liked it there. I would never deny that the sun was left-leaning, because it inevitably attracted a left-leaning crowd. But it never silenced right wing opinions from what I recall. Downvotes, sure, but not deleting posts or unbalanced moderation.

They were never even telling right-wing people things like “You already have at least 2 other subs to discuss your views. Let us discuss ours here”, like places like r/Conservative say.

Technically it didn’t have a WiiU port, only a Switch port. It’s only a port if it came from another console! /semantics lol

I believe the performance is generally better docked. If I’m laying down though, I’ll want something smaller and more mindless like my phone, lol

Lol…I don’t know what to tell you. It happens.

Even if I thought good pizza is enjoyable to anybody, I’m not going to disagree with the idea that someone could possibly dislike good pizza.

I feel like the WiiU being a handheld is a bit of a stretch! Haha

But seriously though, I keep forgetting that the Switch is a handheld. I like playing docked, and it’s too big for me to carry around, generally. But I know I’m in the minority there.

So there we have it. The two ends of the spectrum of movies made for children: Heroin and Shrek.

I don’t follow. You’re disagreeing with the possibility than an adult would find a good children’s movie to be boring? Lol

I just disagree that kids stuff means that it should be lower quality

I don’t think you’re disagreeing with me, because I haven’t said that… lol

I didn’t say that it does, lol

I said in another comment that there’ll always be demand for lower quality kids’ media, and that’s okay. Adults don’t need to enjoy every piece of children’s media.

while I think kids deserve at least the same quality as adults maybe even better

When we start buying that kids’ media enough that it’ll bring in as much money as other demographics’ media, and we choose to buy it based on its artistic merit and quality, then we’ll see more of that change.

But I think there’s always going to be a demand for “kids’ stuff” that’s lower quality, and I think that’s okay. Adults don’t need to enjoy every piece of kids’ media that exists.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. It wasn’t a great movie, but it was fun for a kids’ film, and I loved all the references and stuff.

Yes, I know that. And I knew it before, too…

I guess people hopped on the downvote train before they got to the word “sometimes” in my comment, lol
