I actually refer to video game downloadable content done wrong as "the Johnny Longtorso method."

Coincidentally, Final Fantasy XV is one of two Final Fantasys I've bought the same day I got a console they were on to play them. FFXV for my PS4 and Final Fantasy X for my PS2.

Some people were disappointed in Final Fantasy XV, especially at launch. I was not one of them. And it only got better with added content. And it had one of the best theme songs for a FF ever.

Is it in my top 3 favorite FFs? No. But, like almost all Final Fantasys, I do adore it.

A lot of comedy tends to have values dissonance. That's the nature of the beast. But the best didn't rely solely on that kinda stuff and tend to also have stuff that aged remarkably well/values resonance as well.

Almost all gag dubs have things that didn't age well and values dissonance, but a good one like MXC or J-Men Forever remains funny in spite of those.

And "J-Men Forever" has an advantage over "What's Up Tiger Lily?" beside starring Firesign Theatre.
No Woody Allen.

I think that giving Eye-Scream a ridiculous power-up and making him a legitimate threat would be hilarious.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 20h

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

And I still want an HD remaster of Dissidia 012 for all consoles and PC, dammit.

VimesoftheWatch @vimesofthewatch.bsky.social · 8h

About the new Dissidia:
I have no problem with trying new ideas and stuff. It is the lifeblood of games and a staple of Final Fantasy in particular. But stop with the free-to-play mobile bullshit that will inevitably be taken down/delisted.

Also, Kain in a fedora just makes sense for some reason.

And, if that is even actually possible(and that's a big if), barring some absurd and highly improbable scientific advancements, we won't even be getting the crudest prototypes on the first steps to that until I'm old and grey. And even that's a maybe.

The only art, film, music, etc. "generated" by A/I I'll accept is if we get hypothetical science fiction non-biological people like Data from Star Trek, some Star Wars Droids, EDI from Mass Effect, etc., and they start painting or making films or playing piano or what have you.

That Ray Charles one IS fantastic too. That's why I specified that the Joe Cocker cover being as good if not better than The Beatles original was rare, not a "the only instance of this" situation.

Maybe that's what connected with me the most. I'm rarely happy to go out of my way to help people, but I'll always help people whenever and however I can simply BECAUSE I can. Helping others isn't a choice for me. It is a responsibility, a duty.

VimesoftheWatch @vimesofthewatch.bsky.social · 10h

In the end, it is a game about friendshipand what you'd do for your friends, about how you never have enough time to do all that you want, that you'll have responsibilities you really, REALLY don't want to do, but responsibility isn't a choice.
