Random Musings (and associated non sequiturs) v. 3.0

Wait, isn’t VI equal to 6?

(I’m assuming you meant 7.)

FF VI is one of the best. I feel like it may have aged better than the PlayStation era games… Sprite art just looks stylized, where FF7 3d models haven’t aged well. FF 7 has some great set pieces, but just never felt as much like a ‘world’ to me.

I’m actually thinking of trying to get my Wii working so I can play through Epic Mickey again, hopefully finishing it.

VI and 6 are one in the same. Yes, I just got lazy as I continued to write.

Graphically, I love 2d sprites RPGs. I honestly wish Game Studios would still make them, but they’ve almost entirely been written off as last-gen or old-gen graphics. FF6 was great in that department and, as you said, has aged well.

Storywise, it started off well, but then I felt like it got rushed towards the end (World of Ruin). Really still don’t understand how Kefka was all that great a villain. It almost felt like he was innately evil because someone had to be. Evil clown man made sense, I guess. There really wasn’t any method to his madness.

I’m starting up Final Fantasy VII (FF7) again, because, like FF6, I had put it down too many times in the past and never really finished it. I am trying it with the Bootleg overhaul this time. HD Menus and better 3d models are a plus.

Artillery is way more fun when you’re on the sending end.

Eeek! The intarwebs ate a bunch of posts!

I am seriously considering starting a GoFundMe.

Or they got moved over to here:wink:

Nah, that couldn’t be it.

Ahh, you so sneaky!

She so sneaky she waited until I asked her to do it so it wouldn’t look like her idea even.

Stupid secure email system needs password to give me email.

So, since I don’t give a shit and it’s stupid and needs to be shared it’s…

Password123

But wait, it needs to be 14 characters.

Passwordpassword123

With a symbol.

Thispasswordsucks!

And a number.

Fuckme3times!

All for an email that was sent only to me, that might contain some deidentified healthcare information. God forbid the damn thing tell me ahead of time, 14 characters, symbol and number required.

Yeah, posted before I saw you mention it. I was out sick Wednesday, so I’ll use that as a lame excuse.

I never thought I would see the day… But there is a flash flood warning for the Death Valley area.

That is one of my most grevious pet peeves: Why the h3ll can’t you tell me up front?

And even better: Sites that specify criteria, and don’t follow. Bank says “Up to 24 characters.” So, using a password generator, I set one at 24 characters.
Bzzzt… won’t take it. I end up trimming it back to 20 characters before it would take it.

And more hidden criteria: Passwords that are secretly trimming your super secret, ultra complex password to the first eight characters. You spend the time typing (or copy-and-pasting) the whole 16 characters, feeling like it’s a pretty decent security scheme… only to discover through a hacker that they’ve been fooling you the whole time.

Except for McDonalds I’ve never worked for one.

If nature abhors a vacuum, why are the Palins still around?

Are you confusing vacuum with vacuous? :laughing:

No. No, I am not.

Well, I guess they could be both.

Or vapid? :smile:
