In response to the whole bit about the Japanese government, it seems that the quotes were taken way more seriously than they should have been. Pretty cookie cutter responses that also say that It isn’t really their concern.

I could go on like everyone else and try to make you understand that you absolutely have many more chances for love and that you, like everyone, deserve love. However, it seems like that’s just not an answer you’re willing to accept.

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy: if you tell yourself you suck or that you’re awful or that there’s no way you can ever deserve love, then you yourself will make it happen, whether consciously or subconsciously. You can say you’re like this or that and that no one wants this or that but that’s actually verifiably false. MAYBE if there’s only 100 people in your small village then maybe there’s no one there, but there’s an entire country, an entire continent, and entire world that you just need to open yourself up to. There’s not just one person who would want to love you but so many. They just don’t know it yet.

But you know what, you’re right, fuck me and everyone else telling you this. You must be unlovable and an awful person because you say so and because everyone isn’t their own worst critic (that’s heavy sarcasm, by the way).

Seriously read some of these posts here and think about them. Don’t just read them and think the entire time “well that’s great for you but it could never be me”. Open yourself up to other perspectives and you’ll be better for it.

I just meant to say that it wasn’t typically a sound used for just the letter U, but fair enough! I stand corrected. I’ll gladly learn a lesson at the hands of a native lol

“oo be soft” because they’re a French company (at least originally). The “you” sound for U isn’t really in their language.

I’ve also tried running this in my deck a few different times and I can’t get it to run at a consistent frame rate no matter what my graphics are set to. What are you using? Maybe I’m configuring it wrong

Holy crap that app has been review bombed like crazy on the Play store. Down to 2.0, claiming it uses your phone to make calls, kills your battery, etc. One even claiming it’s “trying to push it’s own agenda on you without letting you choose how to use for your own benefits” like wtf? The bots and trolls just need enough text to seem legitimate, I suppose.

Wait but which O’Brien? Miles? Or the clone Miles that was meant to infiltrate the peace talk? Or the Miles from 7 hours in the future that just replaced the present day Miles? There’s just so many to choose from, it’s so hard

The problem with that is more download speed, imo. Yeah, you can only play 1 game at a time, but if it’s going to take you a day to install another game, why not have a few? And then ofc different games satisfy different needs. Like you can have a long JRPG, a shooter you’re playing with your friends, a casual indie game you’re working on.

You can only play one game at a time, but that doesn’t stop you from playing multiple games over some days

Yep! They remade IV, V, and VI for the DS. VII and VIII on the 3DS as well if those interest you.

Now if we can get even just a bit more news about that gorgeous III remake…

A great choice! The DQ DS remakes were one of the main reasons I got a flash cartridge. I’ve yet to go through DQVI

Which version of DQIV are you playing?

Just finished Lil Gator Game which was such a charming little game. The writing was great and the achievements were even painless to wrap up after I rolled credits. Super cute and cozy, do recommend.

Otherwise, still chugging along on Octopath Traveler II which is a big improvement over the first game imo. Between a willingness to play with the camera angles, more flexible story structures, and some good QOL, this is definitely a much more enjoyable experience for me than the first.
