but the catch is the majority of people have to read the fucking words for that to matter.

Hell, I’d even settle for more people watching classic movies and TV shows. People need to maintain some link to the past to see the mindset of those who lived through fascism, wars, etc. and absorb what a society that rejects those ideas looks like.

Culture is a big part of our collective memory, and a society that can’t look back will just reinvent the same problems.

Ha, I can definitely see how that could be visual clutter. You should also see it for posts when scrolling through the community.

I help mod a handful of communities, and I suppose it helps sometimes when I’m navigating into random threads from my inbox - just as a reminder.

That shield symbol just means that YOU are a mod in that community and can take mod actions on those comments.

I was really motivated to get one to play the Demon’s Souls remake, beat it 3 times in a week, and since then I’ve probably spent more time updating the system and collecting the monthly ps+ games than actually playing.

Yes sir, Mr. Bond.

Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

I loved the demo and would also highly recommend the game solely based on that.

I’m just waiting for a free weekend to pick up the game now that it’s out.

I was reading this reply from my inbox and took longer than I should’ve to realize this was about the Minecraft post.

I haven’t played Minecraft really since the alpha, but I can’t imagine why they shouldn’t. What am I missing?

I’m sure we all remember when our parents had the talk with us about this.

It’s totally a thing in the downtown of some older cities, and occasionally in some apartment complexes that have popped up recently, but I’d say that throughout the majority of the country, residential and commercial zones get drawn without overlap.

and the brain switched to the next available factory default language, English.

I like it!

I had them! Hurt myself plenty…

I had no idea what I was doing as a kid, and figuring out through trial and error which combinations and placements of units would cause them to do cool combo attacks was maddening.

I didn’t play the original Tactics Ogre, but I played a bit of the recent remake. It’s very much like FF Tactics, where you move individual units around on a grid, take turns, and adjust the direction they’re facing, etc.

Ogre Battle 64 is more like a full battle map with free, simultaneous movement. You traverse the battle map as sort of an overworld (?), then it switches to the autobattle combat interface when units run into each other.

They have some similarities, but I personally enjoy the Ogre Battle 64 approach more.

Not sure, but this appears to be the creator’s youtube page about it:

That’s so much. It seems to be getting a small spike in attention these days with some recent games inspired by it (like Unicorn Overlord, or a popular indie game called Symphony of War).
