  • You know, when I played FF1 I had already played several of the later SNES games. And in a way the simplicity was refreshing.

    I still remember going into this town and all the NPCs are saying “there are pirates” and “I don’t like pirates”. Then there’s a pirate who says “we’re the pirates!”. And that’s it, simple as can be, there are pirates and you beat them. No long narratives, no grand schemes, just beat the pirates. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the grand arc kind of stories.



  • I paint gaming miniatures, and the only varnish I will use is Testors brand. One pass with high gloss because it’s more protective, one pass with “dullcote” because it gives it a matte and neutral finish.

    Every other product I’ve tried has turned out cloudy, frosted, not the finish I want, or even cracked. So at some point I stopped attempting to find an alternative and just only use Testors.

    See, they only sell it at one craft store in my area and it’s in a locked case so you have to get an employee and there’s only like two in the whole store. And it’s expensive. So I don’t like that hassle, wanted to find something easier to get, but nothing was ever even acceptable. So, it’s Testors Dullcote only.
