Anyone who says Sea of Stars is in the same echelon as "classic" JRPGs clearly didn't play all the way through SoS or has not played many classic JRPGs. SoS was an okay game for what it was but I honestly don't remember much about it a couple of months after finishing it, whereas games like Lunar and Persona will always be cherished gaming memories for me.

If we consider Sisko's personal vendetta a bad thing that makes us question his authority to lead, I don't understand how we excuse Janeway and the time travel stuff she pulled to get Voyager home--her actions had exponentially more butterfly effect consequences than Sisko could ever dream of.

Same here re: Ubisoft cookie cutter open worlds. I LOVED the first ~40 hours of Immortals and thought I was approaching the end until I realized I was less than halfway at the rate I was progressing. I have no idea how length estimates like the ones on How Long to Beat are accurate for this game; usually they're pretty spot on for my "complete what I find fun and interesting and not much else" play style. I gave up on the game after briefly skimming FAQs to see what I had left.

There's an old fashioned radiator underneath, not forced air. The cover has vertical slots that allow the heat to come through. It came with the house and doesn't seem to make any difference in terms of heating efficiency so I just kept it. The cats love sleeping on it.

I want to high five that giant cat paw.

This is AWESOME advice. I have no problem hitting up tourist spots but they can be a bit much (and sometimes hugely overrated). I try to balance those out with just living in the city eating and drinking away from all the popular spots too.

If the place you're visiting has good public transit, I've also found that I strangely enjoy riding trains and buses to random places. It's a good way to immerse yourself and get off the beaten path.

I'm Asian. If my earwax is super dry and flaky, I hate to see the sludge coming out of other people's ears.

As for deodorant, I switched to a smaller variety of Tom's in my travel kit because the travel-sized ones from big box stores suck. I think the one I bought is aimed at women since their website shows bigger, blacker packaging for their deodorant aimed at men. I'm thinking of switching over to my travel kit ones on a permanent basis because of the fresh lemongrass and lavender scents.

No thanks. I'm a huge JRPG fan but IMO the vast majority of Kemco's games are garbage.

That wallpaper is great!

Whoa, I didn't even notice that the community keyword search actually worked and does so across instances. Thanks for the heads up!

What's up, Doc?

(Don't blame me, it was RIGHT THERE.)

You misunderstand--I almost never post on them, but I actually want more Lemmy cat pic communities which provide an endless source of cuteness and entertainment amidst the doomscrolling. But to each their own, of course.
