Some of the Berserker fights were pretty fucking rough. The one with three separate berserkers (I think two mages and a melee fighter) had me wanting to throw my controller at the screen. Every time I would get an opening on one, I’d get blasted from behind by the other two.

I still have every single line of that “Kairi’s inside me” cutscene memorized, because it was so extremely long and was immediately before the hardest story boss fight in the game. I felt like I was throwing myself against a brick wall with how many times I had to retry that Riku fight.

In comparison, the second Maleficent (dragon) fight was a breeze. I spanked her in like two or three tries, max.

Most people agree that Hollow Bastion is where the difficulty actually spikes. Before then, most bosses won’t really give you any trouble as long as you’re properly leveled. But Hollow Bastion is what separates the “easy” section of the game from the “hard” section.

And the fact that so many people believed it to be real is what really highlights the extent of pro-life craziness. Poe’s Law is in full effect in this thread, with so many people mistaking the bill as genuine.

The bill was introduced by a pro-choice democrat.

Poe’s Law is in full effect in this comments section; So many people have missed the fact that the bill is hyperbolic on purpose. It’s meant to be sarcastic to poke fun at pro-life republicans, not actually something that has any chance of passing.

The fact that you believed it was real means it was successful in shining a light on pro-lifers’ craziness.

As much as cloud flare is the evil overlord, they’re actually highly resistant to blocking sites. You really need to force their hand before they’ll block it they don’t just flip the switch on any request.

I mean, it took a literal act of congress. But even CloudFlare needs to abide by the law.

That’s a CloudFlare page. CloudFlare is responsible for something like 25% of the entire world’s internet traffic. Even if they aren’t hosting it, they’re still dealing with routing. Self-hosting in another country won’t help if your traffic still bounces off of a CloudFlare server.

This is similar to the situation that started the Itch.io and FunkoPop feud. Itch.io was hosting a game that FunkoPop believed infringed on their trademark. Instead of just submitting a request to take the game down, Funko went above Itch’s head and got the entire site blocked. Itch.io didn’t even know anything was wrong until their site was suddenly inaccessible. And it was inaccessible even though their servers were perfectly fine, because the systems used to access their servers had been the ones to actually block the site.

Executive Orders are more like a corporate memo to the government. It’s not a law passed by congress, but it can direct the government in how to administer existing laws or regulations.

They ended up developing a rudimentary sign language based on facial expressions and gestures. Because the women who were taking care of them were strictly instructed to never speak… But they were never given any instructions regarding facial expressions or gestures. So the kids learned that expressions and gestures are how to communicate.

Legend of Legaia. It’s a JRPG from the PS1 golden era, which was completely overshadowed by larger releases like FF7 and Legend of Dragoon. And when I say “completely overshadowed” I mean that the first time I played through it, it didn’t even have a GameFAQs listing.

Nowadays it has a sort of cult classic following, because the combat system was pretty unique and the plot line is surprisingly long for only being one disc.

The American version of the game is apparently much harder than other versions for some reason; They decided to slash the exp and gold drop rates across the board, then bumped them back up for the European release. So the American version is extremely grindy in comparison.

There are college graduates who are younger than Morrowind. Yeah, it’s fucking retro.
