Since this is a story relayed by Charles Robert Jenkins, who was not exactly an objective journalist, and rather a quite interesting individual:

Sharing the context since there’s such an excited appetite for, uh, tankie spin.

That is true. We never got much Dragon Quest at all in the US. (I’ll just keep my Startropics and cope.)

But nonetheless, if it is just Dragon Quest left in Japan, I think it still was a stagnant genre.

It broke inertia in a genre that had been struggling for a long time. A lot of folks have mentioned games like Super Mario RPG which was (one of) the last SNES Squaresoft game(s).

With the Square-Enix merger the franchises of the companies kinda merged together alongside adopting the innovations of MMORPGs.

And so the turn based RPG fell along the wayside, much like the RTS, until E33 renewed interest. So I think E33 is important for what it represents: the viability of a once popular genre ignored by major studios. There’d been smaller time pixel art games, but that was the sort od timecapsule realm it was stuck in.

I know a lot of people who claim they have only one account have at least an alt.

Do you though? Please, let me know what account(s?) ya’ll think I use other than this one and then:

We got folks who can find out who’s who.

If they’re thinking I am still another user on the Fediverse then they’re pretty incompetent at finding out who is who. Otherwise it’s just making idle threats.

This begs the question of just who you think is being hurt.

I am on sh.itjust.works. We are not federated with Hexbear and this is my only account.

This is what I am talking about. I have had threads made specifically about me on MWOG about these things. Whatever you all attribute to me on hexbear ain’t me. I am not on hexbear and never have been, yet this persists.

One of the things that can help with water is that it’s reflective rather than being colored. Since you established the waterfall in the background, slight hints of those colors can help the water droplets convey what they are more than just white.

Since you mentioned it was a model in a shower, that’s much higher pressure water that’s conveyed well as white, not to mention I will bet the shower she was in was white.

Nonetheless, great work!

These data centers have virtually no purpose except for keeping a bubble from popping. A year out may as well be a permanent ban as far as the whole operation is concerned.

Finding out how to permit them isn’t hard: Stop exempting them from laws and regulation. All the laws and regs are there to address all those ‘impacts’ and ‘factors’ they want to form committees about.

Man I wish we had communism on our shores.

Aunt Rainbow took over MWOG. You may as well be talking to goat on voat.

whether you prefer the original localization of Final Fantasy Tactics or the later one with flowery archaic dialog.

I wager this comes down to just one single line of dialogue: “Blame yourself or God.”

Look, this level of hate’s one-sided here so I won’t engage this any further in your farewell thread.

I hope there’s a silver lining to this and you’ll find it restorative. The reply guy life beckons you.

The design is very tree.

What’s another good instance that isn’t Lemmy and backed by tankies?

Ironically that sentiment is precisely what has driven these developments. The fact that it’s now even causing the user who runs MWOG this kind of grief is just laying it on thick.

lol. lmao even.

(Also a short version.)

He did not, in fact, get elected. He is a Green Party candidate and he typically comes in 3rd right behind the Republican in the primaries, or has his last few losses.

flag these stories as falsified anecdotes by propagandists.

There’s only one user in this thread insinuating the sort.

That’s probably the most Mitch McConnell way to go out though.
