Leon: "The President's son has been kidnapped? No thanks, Bro. Gotta do something Chris asked me to do and continue the Redfield line."

Shortest game ever.
"Hey, Dumbfuck Jr. got kidnapped, wanna go save him?"
Me: "Nope"
*credits roll*

3 DS was p good but too grindy. There were actually a number of things I liked about it more than 5:

- The classes overall seemed better. 5 had a number that I struggled through mastering just so I could get the ability.

- Gimmick dungeons. Only one that comes to mind is the one where everyone has to be a mage so they can shrink down small enough to fit inside. Maybe that was the only one--I don't really remember. It's the kind of stuff 4 was made of. And I loved 4.

- Refia. I dunno if it was just me but her animations and facial expressions were just adorable.

- Better freaking villain. Everything about X-Death was stupid. You could argue he was at least there the whole time, but it doesn't matter if every time you see him you wish you didn't.

- Atmosphere. To be fair, the pastels of 5 did kind of grow on me. But it just couldn't compete with 3's overall atmosphere for me. Especially when it came to the lost world and its music.

- Story. That one Galuf scene did positively blow my mind, so hats off to that. But the world building in 3 was intriguing as hell and I have always wanted a prequel where you play as the Warriors of Darkness.

But as I mentioned before, the grindiness hurt it a lot.

really just sorta 1, but more.

Still peeved the media tanked Gary Johnson on a question neither 2020/2024 nominee could answer any better.

Did his parents really name him that

I could die in a car accident a year from now.

Gimme cash nao.

So much for freedom of speech

Tangentially related but honestly, you could not have convinced me that the alt-right would be coming out to bat for jewish people in 2024.

Or more specifically, they still hate jewish people but they LOVE israel and all its actions, somehow

I always love when Trump clarifies later that he meant exactly what he said. He meant that horrible/dumb thing 100% literally.

I have seen Trumpers claim that they like Trump because they "don't need a thesaurus to understand what he's saying" or "he talks like me/us/the working class, therefore he understands us/the working class!" or "he uses plain speach, I love plain speach!" *sic*

How did he say it?

That's disrespectful to 6 year olds

This update fucking sucks. It added nothing of significant value, breaks everything, delayed London indefinitely, and they advertised it as a "major update"

More blood on Todd's hands.

Yeah... Yevon itself is the main antagonist, keeping the spiral of death going. Seymour's a dick, for sure, but he's more of a plot device to get our characters in the headspace they need to be in to accept reality and rebel against the institution.

Yevon

It caused all the problems with Seymour, Jecht, and everyone else. They caused the rift between people and Al Bhed. They actively encouraged the sacrifice of summoners. They kept unsent people around for political reasons, endangering everyone. They actively knew what Sin was, and yet didnt tell anyone, so they could continue livin it up.

Seymour.

He was really the only one actively seeking to destroy and kill.

We lost Rikku that day.

Banking apps should have limits just like atms do for transferring money in large amounts.

Superstar athlete being an ass or premadonna happens all the time

No, Im not. You keep accusing everyone of being one person

Ok.

Her videos where she talks about culture and norms in Japan. Things like vending machines, shops, stuff like that. She is showing off the very weird entertainment areas of Japan, and doing the Japan is so weird thing.

Those who live there know these things are generalizations and arent true. She does it for clickbait obviously, but it misrepresents our home, which I don t appreciate. As far as her home life and school stories go, I dont really care and thats a private place. She has cute private life stories and the. Japan is like this ones, which we are saying are not representative of the real life here.

Can I prove it is false? No. I can give you other stories and experiences that say otherwise, but whether you believe us, or believe her, is up to you. But you have multiple people here saying it misrepresents Japan. We know it isnt real because we have experienced it and know what it is like.

This wasnt a personal attack on you and im sorry if it came off that way. You know, living here and people asking us if Japan is like those youtube clips, and actually living here. Its like if people asked you about the dumbest stereotype about tour country, and ran with it, and told other people that your country is that way.

I hope this clears things up. This isnt about you, or specifically this girl. It is about the way our home is represented through social media.

He thinks everyone ITT is Cait. I cant tell if hes just trolling or thick.

Some of us live here and get sick of people like you who post social media as if it's some kind of definitive source.

Depends on where you live and what you look like, really. Certain. Types are favored above other foreigners.

Ive definitely been the center of attention though. Got compared to celebrities I look nothing like, asked if I knew famous people, asked about guns, etc.

One of the nicer experiences was when I lived in a small town. It was right before Golden Week, and this old man was just standing around outside the supermarket. He stops me, asks to talk, asks some pretty mundane questions (in English, mind you, which is super rare, especially for his age), thanked me, and walked off. It was nice and genuine.

Sometimes I actually feel uncomfortable sticking out here, cause people do treat you differently, and sometimes even put huge expectations on you to be good foreign.

One bad example was this woman who kept comparing me to other foreigners. I was the good one and all the others were bad. I told her that this type of thinking hurts me too, and keeps me from major purchases, renting things, and other normal things which Japanese never have to worry about. She said it is fair, because those things need to be that way thanks to bad foreigners. It was bizarre and felt gross. Kind of like an old racist grandpa who has that one black friend.

I hate how people who have never been to Japan and think they're experts from fucking YouTube videos and/or Reddit posts constantly tell the people who live here what it's really like. Man I should just post random made up shit about the UK and be like nah bro I watched a YouTube vid, I'm an expert.
