I've helped him out with just a couple of things, like a cloud boss battle, but he's mainly tackling it by himself, which I'm happy with.

FFIX seems to be regarded as a beter game in some ways, but I think FFVII is more iconic. I think I only ever tried out VI before (not for long, I couldn't get into it). I'm not sure whether I'll try out any others after this - I know there's IX and X at least also on the eshop

I'm stepping away from Super Smash Bros because now I'm literally just grinding gold extremely slowly to buy the last ~60 odd spirits I'm missing, which are all just DLC spirits. It's not fun that way.

Bought Echoes of Wisdom, but my son's been playing it and I probably won't tackle it myself any time soon.

Instead I bought FFVII since it was on discount and I'd never played it before. I'm slightly disappointed after hearing it being hyped for 20 years - but it's still enjoyable enough to carry on with.

The fast pass has been a thing for years, but are you saying the last three chapters are permanently locked? That's terrible.

Current interest rates with six times my salary - not sure I could even afford the repayments.

Same here. I don't know that she's innocent, but there didn't seem to be any hard evidence. It's terrible for the parents to have this certainty over the deaths taken away, but I expect it will get overturned eventually.

I bought nintendo online so that I could try out the online mode mode in super smash bros, and it's really discouraging. I thought I was alright at it because I've basically completed the game and done the hardest challenges, but on online I'm riduclously outclassed. I think I played like 30 games last night and won only 2. I know it has a ranking system to match you up with similar players - I don't know if it starts you out pretty high at first or something, because I feel like I'm a level 1 CPU right now.

The Home Office official said that because Alina is over 18 she is not being granted permission to come to the UK as a dependant of her parents.

They're not counting her as a dependent child because she's an adult, but it seems to ignore the fact that her parents care for her in some way

In Smash Ultimate, do you mean the playable characters or the spirits? I've been grinding away at the spirits still, and I've got about 175 still to go. The spirit board is almost clear I think, so I'm guessing there's loads (like most of the DLC ones) that I still have to buy using gold.

The 3D on the 3DS was a harmless gimmick because it could be turned off, and that's what I always did, but I would have liked a cheaper version without it. I think they eventually did that with the 2DS XL.

I have passed 1000, so a few hundred left. A lot of those are summons and enhanceable ones, so I'll have to grind SP. And there's a few 4-star legends that I can't get past, it's Super Sonic and Evil Ryu at the moment that I've been beaten by multiple times.

Play Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Game is almost unchanged from Melee 20 years ago, and it's very repetitive, but the drive to get the 1000+ collectible "spirits" is strong.

Baby's birthweights still seem to be mainly in pounds, but it's very difficult to know what it means given that nothing else is typically measured in pounds. Someone will say about their baby "they were 8 pounds" and you'll say, "oh, very good" and neither of you will think of pounds again.
