Everybody loves The Acclaimed

Tapioca salad is a Thanksgiving staple in my family. Leave the canned cranberry jam at home, thanks.

Iowans calling themselves “midwest” while voting like southerners. You hate to see it.

Nah, they’re just in Davenport.

The original PS1 game had both main character options, if that makes you feel better about it.

The Orange Box was a lot of people’s first Steam purchase. It’s hard to overstate just how much gaming value was included.

Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.

Imagine telling people your first name is Gunner or Major and expecting them to take you seriously.

But why have more memes when you can see the same picture about AdS iN tHe StArT mEnU again?

Suikoden II is generally considered one of the best JRPGs on the PS1, and while the English translation isn’t spotless the writing and setpieces have a similar quality to Chrono Trigger. It is a sequel to Suikoden and you’ll enjoy the second game a bit more for having played the first one, but it’s not a requirement. The original Suikoden wasn’t nearly as polished and I’d hate for you to give up on Suikoden II because you burned out on it.

I made the switch when RiF died. In all honesty I wish it wasn’t necessary, because the niche communities here are a shadow of what Reddit had before the blackouts. And while Reddit had trolls just like Lemmy, it was big enough that you didn’t have to share general spaces with them.

Crusade. The story was just starting to get interesting but JMS had used all of his pull just getting the fifth season of B5 on the air. I’m cautiously optimistic about the animated series that was hinted at by The Road Home but I’m also not holding my breath.

The original Driver on PS1 made me better at handling cars in general, both in video games and real life. It’s a shame GTA and Saints Row went with exaggerated vehicle physics and the Driver series never got the non-vehicular parts right.

It’s not worth the price, financially or morally.

There was, I signed up for it and I never received anything. And then the disk drive on my PS3 went to pot and disabled the whole device. Sony can’t design hardware for shit.

I live in the middle of nowhere, near a flat piece of road that’s around 1/2 mile long. The deep ditches along both sides collect V6 Mustangs like upholstery collects cat hair.

Absolutely, and I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be the fossil holding up the entire self-checkout lane because the retinal scan can’t see past my cataracts, and not one of these kids can stop me!

I only found out a few years ago that Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies was commonly regarded as one of the worst songs of the 90s, but it reminds me of middle school and summers at the pool. Same with Sex And Candy by Marcy Playground.

I’m about halfway through the first book. First time through the series. Better late than never, I suppose.

Elden Ring. I was looking forward to a more mainstream Dark Souls with a story written by GRRM, but it turns out I just don’t jive with those games at all, no matter how polished they are.
