Where are you that therapists can prescribe? I thought only doctors of medicine/some pharmacists could.

That's an insult to Philomena Cunk.

Ah I understand you now, I was confused about you not specifying space when referring to 4D, mb.

What exactly are you defining the 4th dimension as...?

Link works fine? THR is a pretty large industry publication, doubt their servers would go down from lemmy traffic.

Probably what happens in Charles Dickens novel, except everyone has smartphones now.

But tech bros don't think literature or history are important disciplines, so they don't even know what happens in a Charles Dickens novel.

Thank you for your consistent Roman-posting, PugJesus. My "History of Rome by Mike Duncan" hyperfixation is really paying off right now.

That's fine, you can disagree. But as someone who 100% the game (and somehow kept my sanity), I really do think anything that is outside of the Clive/Joshua/Rosfiels story is pretty weak, and that is like...35% of the game total.

I don't want to get into spoilers, but I think all the Eikons outside of Dion are severely underutilized, and could have been much more impactful in the story. The whole Ultima payoff is also really not very well thought out with how it's explained. That's why I genuinely think the writers were segmented into different teams and were not communicating with each other.

The Rosfield-centred plot is genuinely great though, I really wish they had stuck mainly to that.

This is just my opinion, please if anyone reading this loves FFXVI don't take it personally!

IMO: The story is ass, the visuals are spectacular (especially the Eikon fights), the soundtrack is amazing, and the gameplay is a weird combo of FFXIV and DMC5. If you're not opposed to some game spoilers, I would really recommend watching a stream of the beginning of the game just to see what you're getting into.

If you've played other mainline Final Fantasy, it's very different gameplay-wise. Your party is AI controlled, and you only control the main character of the section (usually Clive). This really turned me off from the game tbh. The mainline story can really drag too, and the sidequests vary in quality so much I genuinely wondered if they had several different teams working on them and not communicating. The only ones I really liked were the hunts, because I think that's the only time you as a player actually have to think about your moveset and how to tackle a boss.

If you can get it on sale, and you're willing to sit through like...15h of intro to actually get to the main parts of the game, go for it. If you want something a bit shorter, but shows what modern Final Fantasy games seem to going towards, maybe try Final Fantasy 7 Remake. If you want a cleaner version of Clive's gameplay, I recommend the Devil May Cry series, especially 5.

I found the recipe I use for chicken adobo on Pornhub. That shit's 🔥

You think Melania's sliding into Trudeau's DMs now that he's single?

I was honestly trying to figure out if this was Loss...
