The Legend of Zelda - A Link To The PastThis game was great when it was released and it’s great now, and thanks to the randomiser community it’s now infinitely replayable as well.
Super MetroidA series that literally helped define a genre, Super Metroid was everything that I suspect they wanted Metroid and Return of Samus to be but the hardware couldn’t keep up. The world is built for speed running as well with so many shortcuts that experienced players can utilise, and again, with the randomiser community making it infinitely replayable (not only on its own, but with a crossover with ALTTP!), this game easily makes it onto my list.
Final Fantasy VIIMy original introduction to JRPGs and a game whose story and mechanics still hold up today even if the graphics don’t as much. Obviously a lot of people feel the same way thanks to the Remakes, which while slightly out there have had so much nostalgia to play through them.
Final Fantasy XIThe original Final Fantasy MMORPG and my introduction to MMORPGs generally, I put about 10 years into this game and still to this today occasionally reinstall it and see where I was last up to.
Final Fantasy XIVI tried several times to start FFXIV, but never got past the first few dungeons until COVID lockdowns hit, and since then am fully on board. The story, while a slow burn, is so good, and being a live service game means there’s always new content coming or changes to learn. But really, the story in FFXIV is easily good enough to qualify as a mainline FF title, and any FF players who haven’t tried it yet, should.
Doki Doki Literature ClubYou have to play this blind. Don’t watch a let’s play, and avoid any spoilers if you can. It’s worth it. But when it’s all done, if you’re playing on PC, people have written entirely new mods and story for it, and the good ones really know how to make you connect with the characters.
Persona 5 RoyalI discovered the Persona series with Golden, and was super excited to play Persona 5 when it released, but Royal is the definitive version that you’ll want to play. The story is great, the gameplay is lots of fun, and the combination of JRPG and slice of life makes you feel a lot more connected to the loveable cast.
FactorioJust perfectly tickles that itch for resource management. The factory must grow.
Metal Gear Solid 2A main memory I have of this game is the first time playing it where I bought out a whole box of those chocolates they sell for fundraising - was supposed to sell them to other people but they were great for late night snacking while I played. The stealth, the tension, the weird everything towards the end, it was a trip from start to finish.
Duke Nukem 3DDuke wasn’t my first foray into FPS games (Wolfenstein 3D manages that title). But it holds a special place in my heart as it was the first game I ever played online multiplayer on. But I did it before the internet, so literally had a modem to modem connection running over an IPX network. Realistically, there’s been plenty of better FPS games since, both modern and classic, but the irreverent humour, plus the fact I was a teen who probably wasn’t supposed to be playing a game with strippers and highly pixilated tits in it, just edges it into my top 10.
Not that they’ll ever say that’s the goal. It’s the system that’s not working right. If I just put enough of this document into uppercase with the right combination of words written in red ink, surely this time it’ll work!
So if they were basically regurgitating Reddit already, does that mean they were using AI before it was cool? They might have just used the Amazon approach to AI (I.e., why use technology when we can throw a bunch of minimum workers at the problem).
We’ve had a McDonalds getting dragged over the coals this week for using the chip warmers to dry a dirty mop head. The McMop has been doing the meme rounds as a result.
I really hope a lot of people jump on this, it was fun as hell playing this with full lobbies, but the hype died off within a week or two last time and it was just people farming it for the King or Queen Bean title.
Wonder if we’ll get any new rewards? (Unlikely, but you never know!)
That’s what that part usually means, yeah. Was hoping maybe it was just the fact it was the same courses and same quest to unlock it, not the purchasable rewards you get using MGF.
That being said I don’t think I bought the housing items last time so probably should do that.
Oh crap. I shouldn’t have said there was a meeting. Oh crap. I definitely shouldn’t have said it was a secret. Oh crap. I absolutely should not have said it was to reserve all our 2nm chip capacity.
To be fair, I’d read that and assume it was a scam. You need just the right mix of not quite illiterate but gullible enough to call a random number and hand your details over to someone promising money, and I feel Nigerian princes and widows just trying to get their money out of the country and will cut be on for a share if I help have that market cornered.
As many of you likely know, the character creator in the benchmark didn’t actually feature the new lighting engine, so they’re working on an updated version alongside dawntrail itself - pretty huge difference side by side here as seen in the live letter update!...
On one hand, in this specific example, I think I actually like the original image better. On the other hand, I look at how the new image is handling lighting and think back to how bad some of the cutscenes in Prae look today with the current lighting model and I have hope that this will fix it.
Definitely looking forward to the updated benchmark though. Just hope they unlock all the hairstyles so we don’t have to manually bring our characters over from the main game (I know they likely won’t, but I can dream).
Apple’s issue was they timed it around a shift to USB-C chargers. Their argument was everyone already had plenty of chargers, but no one had the new ones (well, some people did obviously but they hadn’t gotten it with a previous iPhone). That’s why they cop so much flak over it.
I agree that conceptually it’s a good change, they just picked a bastard of a time to do it (one could argue that was deliberate of course).
Will admit that Greedly was the first person to come to mind originally, but reading the wiki Looten just seemed to fit better. Although really he’s got traits of both when it comes down to it.
Given the recent announcements about “content abandonment” I suspect the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole will be fine. They seem to be consolidating into a smaller number of franchises that they know they can get returns from rather than risking new IPs that are more uncertain.

(I’ll attempt this based on my understanding of both)
Pouring a cup of juice is something an adult needs to be involved with.
sudo is when you ask for permission to pour your own cup of juice. You ask an adult, they give you the cup and the juice, and then you’re responsible for pouring it. If the adult isn’t paying attention they may leave the fridge open for you to go back for more juice or another beverage, but otherwise you’re limited to the amount of juice the adult has given you.
run0 is when the adult just gets you a cup of juice. You tell them what you want, they go and pour the juice, and just give you the cup with the juice in it. You never enter the kitchen, so you don’t have access to the fridge, just your cup of juice.
