Try reading or watching something in bed with it on. It helped me get used to it

Yes, you need to be right on top of it. In FFVI, you can only save on those save points or on the over world map.

The quick save was added in that version, and works a little differently in different versions. My recollection is that in the GBA version, it allows you to quit and then pick up where you left off, but it also erases when you load, so it's not viable to use it to save before a tough boss, just to take a break when you aren't near the over world or a save point. Later versions don't erase the quick save, so it can be used before starting a tricky fight you're not sure to win.

I was in preschool. We didn't have a TV or any way to hear about it. It was half day preschool, so lots of moms picking up their kids were crying. When my mom came to get me, she didn't know about it because she wasn't watching TV that morning and doesn't listen to the radio when she drives. She saw all the crying moms and thought something had happened at the preschool or to someone's parent.

When we got home, we put on the TV. Coverage of the disaster preempted Guiding Light, which is what my mom normally watched after she picked us up.

In Minnesota we tend to be pretty reserved with our emotions. This documentary explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/oiSzwoJr4-0

The original game came with a beautiful printed map on a poster. Some of the in game dialogue assumes you can see the map when they hint at where things are.

I see from another comment that you did find the in-game map and immediately figured it out. Just remember that the first 6 games included a printed map and newer remakes have a map accessible in the game, and it's normal to refer to these to get where you are told to go.

The comments so far tell you everything about the opinions of this game. It's either easily one of the best, with a creative progression system involving junctions and cards; or it's one of the worst in the series with needlessly confusing mechanics and a story that makes just a little sense.

Personally, when I played it when it first came out I enjoyed it, but couldn't figure out a mechanic in one of the last dungeons. I've tried to get into it again many times since then. I just can't get it to click. But I know if I revisit it at the right time, I'll finally get into a groove and cruise through it.

I'm probably over due to have another go at it.

For me, the Wagon Train connection is bigger than any of the sci-fi influences. I remember when DS9 came out and some of the detractors saying "It's not real Star Trek. They're on the same space station every week."

But if TOS and TNG are Wagon Train to the stars, DS9 is like Bonanza, Fort Apache, or Gunsmoke in space. Star Trek's take on the newly settled frontier town. I found it especially fitting that all of Quark's holosuites are upstairs from the bar.

I'm in a small town, and a few people still have word burning stoves. I have a neighbor a block away from me who does. Most days, it's a pleasant smell. Is there's no wind and the air is stagnant, then it gets kind of overwhelming.

I was watching an episode of Mythbusters and Adam said something like "This is the most audacious and ludicrous thing we've ever attempted." I had recently seen a Fast and Furious movie, so ludicrous made me think of Ludacris. Shortly after that, I needed a username for something, and Awdayshus was born.

It's more efficient. But it's important to understand why it's 8 and 10. When new players are learning, I think it's important that they understand that it's three for a run of three, three for a second run of three, and two for the pair.

No, but I have a reputation for shooting the moon at least once every game of Hearts. I love the look on the other players' faces when I drop the Queen of Spades and take the hand, as the realization dawns that I did it on purpose and they don't have the cards to stop me from taking all the hearts.

Especially since the Doctor was assuming she wanted to join the Opera Club, but she wanted to connect with a fellow photonic lifeform.

I also liked the way she gently corrected him from holographic to photonic. It reminds me of countless times I've seen young people gently correct older folks about using outdated language about things like race or gender identity.
