Do you have them all made and on a display shelf somewhere? Because that I'd like to see. Not currently. Rivendell is on display on my front room coffee table, the rest are boxed up. I have far too many Lego sets to put them all on display so they get rotated based on what the husband and I feel like building at the time. We have a storage room and a dedicated display room. We have a ~800-1k sq ft unfinished basement, and we plan to eventually finish it and make it the grand Lego room.

Yes. You clearly don't give a shit about innocent people being killed and are clwarly concern trolling about the government killing people. You're not in favor of protecting innocent life you're just anti execution. And we're back to just blatantly trolling. Can't say I'm surprised. ForsakenHermit posted... You'll never hear from me again because you can't make a good argument in your favor and you fail to back up your claims.with anything of value. Bro, you're wrong. A government directly executing innocent people is not comparable to a government indirectly (at best, and even that's a stretch) contributing to murder deaths from parolees. You haven't made any compelling argument for why someone who opposes the death penalty is hypocritical if they also support parole for seemingly rehabilitated murderers (which, for the record, I don't).

If they release someone on a life sentence with parole and that person kills someone the parole board has blood on their hands for releasing a dangerous person back into society when they should have been kept locked up where they belong. Only if they had reason to believe the person was a danger to others. If they genuinely believed the person was rehabilitated then no, they really don't. It's nowhere near as black and white as you're trying to make it. And it's still completely incomparable to executing innocent people. --- Only two things can end a Republican's career - a dead girl or a live boy. |

You forgot innocent people dying with the justice system. You forgot to quote where I supported the scenario where innocent people die because the justice system released a mass murderer. You need to do that or apologize. And no, the government directly killing an innocent person and an innocent person being killed by someone released (doesn't even need to be a mass murderer; people who have committed murder have served time, been released, and killed again) are not the same thing. --- Only two things can end a Republican's career - a dead girl or a live boy. |

The only one itt who has come anywhere close to making a convincing argument from that is bfslick50. The rest of you have just said "It's not the same because we said so." 1. It's not the same because the only commonality is that it involves the justice system, which I already told you. Abolishing the death penalty has absolutely nothing to do with releasing mass murderers. 2. This has nothing to do with your ridiculous leap in logic that we must now be arguing in favor of releasing mass murderers.

DrizztLink posted... She had three good and comfortable years This is the thing to focus on. You gave her a good home and lots of love. My parents lost a cat (also named Calvin, weird) about two weeks ago. He either had a stroke or aneurysm, was the vet's guess. He was only 7. He was playing in the kitchen while dad was cleaning and just dropped. The worst part is they were going on vacation the next day. They still went, but it was basically ruined. And Hobbes (Calvin's brother) spent all day looking for his brother. Back in March my late husband's parents had to put down our Klee Kai, Aurora. The husband and I got her as a puppy, and he passed shortly later. His parents and I shared her for a while, then around 2019 they got another dog and Aurora stopped enjoying coming to my house because she missed her friend too much. Then covid and social distancing kept us from trading the dog at all and she stayed with them full time after that. She was barely 10. Bad year for pets. I have a senior cat I worry about.

| TheOtherMike 05/04/24 9:09:19 PM #21 | So I think I'm done. This game is even more boring than I remembered. I played a couple games of blitzball after the tournament. Blitzball sucks ass. I continued on the pilgrimage, the game is literally one giant hallway, and none of it is even interesting to look at anymore. The Sphere Grid is still annoying and makes no sense thematically. Combat is tedious with the constant need to swap characters out for weaknesses. The plot is basically nonexistent; the only intrigue is related to how Tidus and Auron are here 1000 years after Zanarkand was destroyed. Beyond that the current plot is literally "we're all going on a long walk!" I'm about 10 hours in and just not getting hooked, and I genuinely can't understand what this game constantly gets praised for.
I gave it a good shot, I was really hoping to enjoy it this time around. Oh well, guess I'll play one of the good FFs. --- Only two things can end a Republican's career - a dead girl or a live boy. |

This is unironically one of the hardest things to do in the entire game, significantly hindered by RNG mechanics. It's pretty impressive that you won it. I'm pretty sure it was dumb luck. I remember getting to the tournament on an attempted replay a couple years later and couldn't win it to save my life. I think my ocd wouldn't let me progress and that's when I dropped the game that time. Other things of note: I chose the standard Sphere Grid. Also absolutely loving the music, but Square and FF in particular have always had top shelf soundtracks. --- Only two things can end a Republican's career - a dead girl or a live boy. |
| Topic | Giving FFX another go (ongoing spoilers) |
| TheOtherMike 05/01/24 12:01:18 PM #1 | I played FFX back in 02/03, and for various reasons didn't like it. I don't remember how far I got, but it was at least to the Blitzball tournament. I won the first game or the tournament or whatever and my friend was shocked. He didn't think you could win it.
Anyway I dropped the game some time after that. I remember disliking the Sphere Grid both mechanically and thematically. I also found constantly swapping characters in and out for the various enemy weaknesses tedious after a while. There were also other games that got my attention, and I never gave it another serious attempt. So I recently picked up X/X2 Remaster on sale, and wanted to give it another shot. I remember almost nothing of the story (though I do know First impressions: I can tell this game was showcasing the PS2 and its improvements over the PSX. The cinematics are great, I loved the opening in Zanarkand and the attack by Sin. But the battle with Sin later on the boat was definitely a "wow this is a real spectacle" moment for me. I also like how the camera constantly autopans in the more visually appealing areas to show them off, though I am a bit annoyed about lack of camera control in 3D environments. The voice acting is as terrible as I remember. The Sphere Grid still annoys me. I can see ability spheres are going to be a bottleneck. Anywhere I'll be able to farm these? I'm enjoying the turn-based combat coming off VII Rebirth (and re-platting the PS5 version of Remake). I'm enjoying the brighter visuals and color. Other than that, I'm concerned about missables. I looked up a list and thankfully there don't seem to be many. I did get the staff from the Cloister of Trials before Yuna joined. If I keep with it I may turn this into a playthrough topic.
