To make up for how Power Rangers is an old Japanese show they filmed additional scenes with Americans for we should do the opposite and make the casts of Law & Order SVU and Grey’s Anatomy stop a couple times an episode to fight people in werewolf costumes

they think congestion pricing hurts the poor who drive and free buses help the wealthy who ride. i just can’t wrap my head around it.

Is this man unaware that the bus and the subway have the exact same fare?

time to listen to the mountain goats

Also sort of crazy to charge $40 for this.

Somewhere in the chords of an old game… the kid you were is still there. Hit play…and time folds. The screen glow, the controller, the sense that magic was real. Video game music doesn’t fade…it saves. A checkpoint in your heart. A melody that still knows the way back to your childhood 😊💙

By bringing back year-round outdoor dining & simplifying the process, the City will make it possible for restaurants to thrive while giving NYers more ways to enjoy our public spaces. A big THANK YOU to @cmrestler.bsky.social & the bill's co-sponsors for putting people over parked cars!

I'm about to be older than all the Final Fantasy old man characters.

I think I have all of these digitally on the Switch already. If money weren't so tight I'd pick the physicals up, too, just so I knew I had them into the figure for whenever the Switch eShop shuts down.

of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible

people on here apparently need to learn a lesson most of us learn in elementary school, which is that it’s fucking rude to correct people on zero stakes things and doing so leads rightfully to social ostracism

to be clear, the President is bombing civilians in international waters and sending the army into peaceful cities domestically but this fellow thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

The best way for our next mayor to create affordable homes is to vote @yesonaffhousing.bsky.social props 2-5. If passed, these will accelerate the approval of new affordable housing and ensure it's being built in every neighborhood—no matter how rich.

There’s something about little guys on little dioramas that just gets my feelings going something fierce.

"Hunchback is one of the most sophisticated films in the Disney filmography for how it makes such huge themes accessible to children including genocide, justice, manipulation, sin, morality vs. legality, racism, allegorical fascism, and obscene abuses of power."

This is actually the best kind of cookie you could make. The chips are always too gooey and messy, but that brown sugar? Simply the best!

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Was worried about how huge the cast is and a little cagey about the switch of DMs (even though I've seen a little of Dimension 20 and enjoyed what I've seen) but the first episode of Campaign 4 of Critical Role really sunk its claws into me. Feels like the opening sequence of an epic fantasy novel.

Tactics Ogre

People need to understand that Moominpapa is one of the greatest literary characters of all time.

It's also the natural extension of mega-corporations wielding this kind of rhetoric on their side. 'You HAVE to watch this Disney IP to [insert progressive cause]!!' Consumerism is the great terror of our times.

If you see this, Quote with your top 4 Final Fantasy games. (Was really hard not to include IV in here.)

Every day, I see some version of "95% of companies using AI haven't made money from it" and every day I see someone say that AI is the future and that we can't stop it and that we have to use it. That does not scream confidence to me. That screams "I need someone to save me from my own investments."

I beat him but my entire party aside from Ramza like for real died, like turned into crystals and treasure chests died.

wrote about throwing stones at Argath as praxis

Much like my 8 year old self I have spent multiple hours getting my shit absolutely wrecked by Wiegraf in Final Fantasy Tactics tonight. Have gotten into a groove where I can easily take down Wiegrad but can't beat Belias, a thing that has literally never happened to me before.

Bro they did it, the least cringey democrat meme I’ve ever seen

Many people dismiss preservation concerns as if they live exclusively in the here and now. Chances are, though, every person on the planet has experienced/enjoyed something made/developed in the past. That awareness alone would be enough to grasp the importance of preservation.

No it doesn’t, that’s you doing that

Short thread about the necessity of not only remembering the past but describing it to people who weren't there to experience it. Just as younger generations condescend to older ones, older generations can lack patience and empathy when dealing with younger folks who don't know everything they know.

Help, I have logged 22 hours on Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles since yesterday. I am at the start of Chapter 3* (of 4). I MIGHT be playing this game too fast! *I remember Chapter 3 as "the weak one" but let's see how it holds up.

An important thing that is often ignored about Mamdani: he's cheerful! Taking the city's (and country's) problems seriously doesn't have to mean projecting nothing but darkness and rage. His positive vibe is an unbelievably effective way to make the tent bigger. As is fun/dorky stuff like this.

I first played Final Fantasy Tactics when I was around 7 years old. I listened to this great pod covering it last year as it aired and it was a great way to relive the game. Now as I play through The Ivalice Chronicles I keep chuckling when one of the ye olde insults the guys hosts ranked pop up

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️

one of the most important conversations tech companies should have about every new feature and product is "how can this be abused" and in OpenAI's case they apparently decided to make that the selling point for their new app this is a million lawsuits and ruined lives waiting to happen

Play Final Fantasy Tactics. Give Guns to your White Mages.

Most difficult thing to explain about preservation is the fact that it is not about whether you can access your own games in the future. It is about access to history for the general public. Without understanding the concept of solidarity in this regard, we are screwed.

If the guy can't be bothered to show up for an ad shoot, why do I have any reason to think that he would show up for New Yorkers when it mattered?

Day 1. Making Safe Room music every day until Halloween.

Destroying an industry and decades of creative output might sound like something that only a foolish, poorly run company would do. But have you considered the feelings of the shareholders this quarter?

You ever think about how Microsoft was at the forefront of an era of video games where it looked like the US was going to be the dominant cultural force of video games, and now they own a significant chunk of the US game industry, and they're just throwing it into a furnace to keep the AI lights on.

It’s called covid-19.

I could be wrong and I definitely am but I’m pretty sure that in my lifetime the government has shut down 750 times

Spent a lot of yesterday monologuing to my fiancée about how Argath is a piece of shit and sucks and is the worst, and multiple times she passed through the room, heard a line of his and said "oh yeah, that guy sucks." This right here is the best moment of Final Fantasy Tactics.
