- Comment on Whatever you feel about Bond Films, Do you think it wouldn't be best they just ended it with the last film. 5 days ago:
I don’t think Bond should end, but it definitely needs a break. It’s gone through so many changes over time trying to reinvent itself from simple action film to gritty realism to love drama. Craig as Bond was kind of a real full arc and a weird time. Now that it’s ended they need to step away, let it percolate, and come back in five or ten years with something fresh.
Patrick Willems had an interesting take on how every Bond film reflected Hollywood at the time. With Hollywood now being nothing but reboots I say it’s a double good time for them to take a break.

So about the same as me, solid. Wish him luck on his Bestiary hunt and Lightning dodges.

How long has your friend been working on it? I’m on 4 myself. Had a lot of free time over the holidays to blast through the first three, but now I’m hoping to finish one every few months
- Comment on Day 615 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
FFVIII is probably one of my top three. Something about the characters, setting, gameplay, and even the mini game triple triad tickles my fancy.
The “squall is dead” theory really was one of those playground spread rumors that I loved too.
I’m currently on a quest to get all achievements for every FF game. It’s real interesting seeing the changes from game to game, enjoy IX when you get there
- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 1 week ago:
Seconded. You don’t need to have played Miles Morales at all, but I personally think it’s the best story of the three
- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 1 week ago:
It’s got to be one hell of a game for me to do it. Maybe one in 100 will I touch post game content and I don’t think I’ve finished any
- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 1 week ago:
Halo Life is Strange Final fantasy VIII World of Warcraft Expedition 33
None of them are perfect but they all made me think about games in a different light and keep me wanting to play.

Best I can do is sacrifice kids to the global pedo ring

This is 2026. Everything gets a reboot. The war in the middle east, games, movies, everything.

Have fun. I’ll keep napping in my moogle cuddle puddle
- Comment on Final Fantasy IX animated series officially in production at EuroVisual, titled Black Mages Legacy | RPG Site 2 weeks ago:
A lot of people mindlessly expected more fantasy and don’t really understand that the underlying theme for like every final fantasy game is environmentalism, anti corruption, legacy, and fellowship, not just chocobos and crystals
- Comment on Final Fantasy IX animated series officially in production at EuroVisual, titled Black Mages Legacy | RPG Site 2 weeks ago:
If you aren’t aware they’ve released two other movies since then. The FFVII sequel film “Advent Children” and “Kingsglaive” set in the FFXV universe.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 3 weeks ago:
As others have said it’s savory not sweet and guac is a great choice but I put mine in a wrap.
I cook up some chickpeas in barbeque sauce, spread some avocado on a big ol tortilla, throw in some coleslaw and the chickpeas, wrap it up and go to town.

Oh no, Trump and Friends have been some of the most consistent people I have ever seen. Consistently awful and against all normal people maybe, but consistent

This has been just over the past couple years for me. It absolutely still is the world if you aren’t a jackass
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 4 weeks ago:
This is how I did it. You just have to find the like minded individuals and put in the time to get to know them. I did it through meetup.com some, word of mouth of events from other friends, and just talking a chance and talking to someone who seemed chill from work. Some of my best friends now.
- Comment on Dear Faith II 4 weeks ago:
I’ve only ever been academia adjacent and I’m glad. Some of the most soulless people I’ve ever met. It’s the lab grunts who know how to party. Until they have the life sucked out of them to meet some arbitrary writing spec for a journal
- Comment on Why nor???? 4 weeks ago:
Well, it doesn’t change size based on the wielder. It changes size based on its will and what it percieves will bring it the result it desires. Which is admittedly way more complex and abstract. This is why I said knowing more about it’s properties would be extremely important to figuring out how to use it.
If it only changes size in one direction, like growing bigger to slip off a finger, but the band width never changes, then it would still be extremely useful for some measurements. We also don’t know if there’s a maximum or minimum to it’s size changes which would greatly matter.
- Comment on Why nor???? 4 weeks ago:
Sure. For me (computer scientist but went to engineering based school) I’d be most excited about the experimental possibilities.
I mean if nothing else the potential to have the world’s most stable mass and dimensional object could revolutionize measurements, which might not sound the most practical until you realize just how much we rely on dimensional accuracy for so many things.
There’s some experiments where we fire a laser at things, and we’re approaching powers (zetawatts) where things basically instantly melt. Having a material that can withstand that could allow experiments that could push our understanding of light, nuclear reactions, quantum mechanics, and more.
From a practical aspect. If it, say, absorbs heat. Having a limitless heat sink could potentially let us explore deeper into the Earth’s core than ever before (where the heat and pressure really caused issues for the drills).
And all that is just off a few seconds thought from a non engineer.
- Comment on Why nor???? 4 weeks ago:
It really depends on the other material properties. Like if it’s as slippery as nylon vs as slippery as rubber is really gonna change things. Plus how does it react to outside forces trying to destroy it? Absorption? Diffusion? Conversion (like heat into sound or something).
All that would drastically change what you could do with it

Sure, fine, some get this right, and what else are they getting wrong? Something more serious and harder to spot?
- Comment on AI advice 5 weeks ago:
The point isn’t that some models are better than others. The point is that yet again it’s an example that LLMs are not thinking machines and you can’t trust anything from them and people are burning the world to run a glorified auto complete.

- Comment on Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix? 1 month ago:
Don’t add the bloody mary mix. Add some salt, garlic, onions, and beans. You can try and fight me but good luck. I have the power of being right on my side

This. We don’t as people define a rainbow as the path of light or anything like that. We define a rainbow as a circle of colors in the sky. That’s how language works.

- Comment on Highguard Developer Makes Layoffs Affecting "Most of the Team", Two Weeks After Launch 1 month ago:
Highguard did actually have some unique things that made it stand out like the raiding aspect.
The bigger problem is it was under baked. They released basically a demo after getting featured at the Game Awards instead of taking the time to finish building out the game.

- Comment on Do it for your country's debt! 1 month ago:
Oh I’m way off on the amount. I think I had that 2 Trillion increase in my head as the full debt.
I fully support long term change though yeah. I feel like the entire country, not just politicians but business men and regular day to day folk, don’t think more than the next quarter.
