Corporate entities are typically their own fascist state. The boss says how it goes. Employees typically have little input.

During COVID I had an employee that complained about masks because they were undemocratic. I reminded them that the employees do not vote on policy.

  • 1 - ...I respect the historical importance of this game.

I had a coworker who swore by this game in the nineties. When I finally got to it, I played most of the way through, but lost the save and haven't been able to pay through again.

  • 4 - First game that actually holds up.

Played through in college over a weekend. Got pretty far in. Loved it.

  • 6 - I liked this game up until I found out that I was supposed to be grinding three distinct parties the whole time.

Borrowed from a friend in high school and beat sneaking to play overnight. Fell in love with the series here. My friend from work said this was the weakest of the three, but I appreciated the story.Three distinct parties don't matter if you constantly rotate them and then use the yellow dinos to power level.

  • 7 - I went into this expecting the first 3D installment to be another example of historically important but poorly aged. Was pleasantly surprised by how well it holds up.

High school friends were all into it. I couldn't play until I could get it to play on Bleem! Currently on my 15th play through.

  • 8 - I went into this knowing it's the weird one. I was the sicko that liked 2, but I still couldn't get through it.

Friend of mine and I played all the way through on this. The draw system is unusual, but looking back it was a great story. It was weaker without the cyberpunk dystopia of Midgar, and felt like I was now playing as the enemy. I also remember the trigger system infuriatingly.

  • 9 - Bought it alongside 8, when I dropped 8 I never got around to this. I will eventually... maybe...

This got so much criticism when it came out. It's actually a beautiful game that sticks close to the original premise.

  • 10 - Perfects the classic formula while still feeling sufficiently modernized. Uh, for some definition of modern...

The grid on this is different, and the game is linear compared to some of the others. In contrast the characters are each so distinct. Also, the voice acting was a huge change.

15 was also automated. My problem with an open world is that it feels like you should scrape the world clean. Also, I was never sure when to move forward and got stuck forever in the first area.

More like there is a chance Trump is edging in the presidential race.

I think that's part of the suit. She said that specific items were handled by the invaders, but that they were not checked for fingerprints.

The article made it sound like she was smothered with a pillow.

Damnit, I was just about to create trump coin, too.

I'm gaming just fine on mint. It's like the old days when I would install something and not be sure if it worked, but so far most things have been working more or less out of the box. Installing and patching mods to final fantasy 7 took a little bit because I wasn't familiar with the terms being used, but it was a couple hours, not a few days.

Pretty sure the dangers of backdoors were explicitly outlined the 1980's documentary, "War Games."

Wow, can someone start a fandom that insists counter conspiracies?

American cheese is like when you start making a bechamel from mild cheddar but only soften it some.

Next step in softness is Velveeta.

Cheese whiz is three steps.

The sharpness intensifies each time.

Vegetables are a portmanteau of vegetation and table, as they are vegetarian for the table.

All fruits are vegetation for the table, or vegetables. It's just that not all vegetables are fruits.

My bad, I was thinking hundreds to thousands.

I wasn't thinking about smart watches, but I haven't been sold on them yet.
