I played the original when I was like 12, and made Ramza a monk/ninja then just because I (correctly) thought monks and ninjas were cool. It steamrolled the whole game.

Another good trick on that fight is to use Ramza's ability that increases his speed over and over again in the first phase while just kiting Wiegraf around before his transformation. Do it for like 10 rounds and you'll be getting multiple turns for every one of Wiegraf's. The second phase is considered the same fight, so the buff persists. When the demon shows up, you can just pummel him to death before he even moves.

Don't force the contact--locking them in a room together is not a good idea. It'll just terrify the scared cat, and might actually provoke a fight. Make sure she always has a place to retreat to, especially one where the kitten can't get to her (maybe something high up beyond the kitten's jumping ability). I've actually had very good luck with the pheromones. I used Feliway, the one with the "mother cat" pheromone that encourages bonding, every time I've introduced a new kitten and it really seems to help. Some cats really just take a long time to warm up, though. Try to discourage the kitten from running up on her too much, and let her go at her own pace. Make sure she feels secure. If she has favorite treats, give them to her with the kitten around so she can form a positive association. They may never be great friends (and that's ok), but you should be able to get her to the point where she's not in a constant state of panic.

Give Fourth Reich Archaeology a try.

As someone who studied it, knew what needed to be done and than had to watch everyone just decide that it was easier to let it happen because the idea of ending capitalism is apparently not as realistic as collapsing the entire biosphere

yea

✔️ Easily available alcohol

✔️ Everyone is carrying a gun

✔️ Mostly 19 year old men

✔️ Mandatory testosterone injections

I see no potential problems here!

These guys are mostly TESCREAL weirdos who think humanity's only purpose was to give birth to AI. We are a transitional fossil on their view, and they're fine with (or even enthusiastic about) us going extinct as soon as we finish the project. The more honest ones are very open about this.

It's the official policy of the paper to only run "free market" editorials and opinions.

A Reuters analysis found the image of the map included ⁠in the presentation contained an artificial intelligence watermark that signals it was made with OpenAI tools.

On Sept. 30, 2025, a Flock vice president logged into the Dunwoody PD’s Flock system and looked at a camera in the children’s gymnastics room of a private community center here in Dunwoody.

He did not look at any other cameras in the entire 400-camera network that day.

Hold on to your butts, comrades. We're about to get a preview of 2050. I just checked the live data, and the area off the coast of South America that is the index water for ENSO is 9° F above average in places. This is going to be a wild year.

I notice that he's specifying "economic aid," not the other kind.

The fact that their use of Signal was successfully presented as proof of terrorist intent should be extremely alarming to everyone.

I'm thinking about flashing my phone to GrapheneOS to get rid of all the Google shit. Anybody have experience with it? Do you like it? Is there a better privacy-focused solution for Android phones? I've got a Pixel, and the process looks pretty straightforward but I'm curious to hear if any comrades here have tried it.

Off-duty from TikTok and their Fox News guest-panelist gigs, the young conservatives did exhibit a certain level of willingness to really get into it in a mostly productive way, which, I’ll admit, is more than I can say about a lot of people back in Brooklyn. Still, it was disconcerting how often a normal conversation with one of these so-called normal people could cannonball from politics and policy into, at the very least, a not-so-PC joke and, at worst, something hateful.

When I first reached out to Wexler, for example, asking to talk about her weekend plans for the inauguration, she wrote back, “Let’s do it. Full transparency, I think ‘pronouns’ are ‘ret-----.’” She asked me to tell my readers that. “Tomorrow, we’re going to have images of them rounding up illegals and deporting them. That’s exciting,” she said another time, cackling. She also called me a “man in lipstick,” though I wasn’t wearing any. Later, when introducing me to Sinclair, she said, “He’s a queer. But a friendly one.” I laughed.

“The hold the left has is coming to an end because you guys were making bad decisions,” a droll, self-confident IDF soldier tells me at Butterworth’s. “When you go too far, you isolate people, you polarize people. The pendulum effect is real.” Here, she says, “is where you can say whatever you want!”

I think one big takeaway from this (aside from how fucking insufferable these people are, of course) is that this coalition is extraordinarily fragile. A lot of people in this article are expressing support for extremely "thin" reasons--wanting to be on the winning side, wanting to be able to say slurs, aesthetics, and so on. There are former Biden and Bernie voters who are "on the Trump train" because it's the path of least resistance, and because the casual cruelty is both trendy and easier than giving a shit. It's really important to remember that a lot of these people are opportunists and/or grifters: the true believers of fascism are actually relatively rare. They had their opportunity for cultural ascendency here, and immediately squandered it by allowing those true believers to do whatever the fuck they want, which the vast majority of people find disgusting. I strongly suspect a lot of the people interviewed here will just sit out the next election. This isn't supposed to absolve them--they have blood on their hands as much as Stephen Miller does--but I think it's important to remember that this "cultural ascendency" is really a mirage. These people are fucking losers.

Also, when we control the house, senate, and presidency it is still their government somehow!

There's the tone-deaf idiocy we expect from the Democrats. Whew.

Shows the importance of not skipping range time. If someone had trained just a little harder, we could have had something extremely cool happen.
