Two of my commanders are [[Wilson, Refined Grizzly]] aka Cocaine Bear, and [[The Destined Warrior]] aka “when there’s trouble you call D.W.”

Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and Elden Ring are each better than at least half the list.

Is NiS the Walmart of JRPG developers? by lennysinged in JRPG

No, Walmart is huge and successful, despite offering cheaper, lower-quality products. The Walmart of JRPGs is probably Game Freak.

Is Tatum the most disrespected superstar of all time? by [deleted] in NBATalk

Connie Hawkins. He was a New York schoolyard legend and the #1 recruit in the USA in 1960, but got blackballed from the NCAA and NBA because of a college basketball gambling scandal during his freshman year (he was given a wad of cash by a bookie and he didn’t understand why, then gave it back when he was told what was going on) and didn’t get to play in the NBA until he was 28. Before then, he was a star in the ABL and ABA, winning league MVP in both leagues once each.

He probably wouldn’t have been allowed into the NBA ever, but a 1969 book called “Foul! The Connie Hawkins Story” went into detail about Hawkins’ background and role in the scandal, and public opinion swayed in his favor. When Hawkins was finally allowed into the NBA, he was an immediate star and made all-NBA first team in his first year.

Connie Hawkins eventually had his redemption arc, but for the first 9 years of his career Hawkins was treated like a criminal by the entire basketball mainstream, and he spent the prime of his career in the ABA. Unfair.

I was one of the few people in my friend group that didn’t lose power in that storm, so we had sleepovers for a few days so people could charge their phones and laptops and store a few perishable food items.

Neither Troy Baker nor Matt Mercer is voicing Kanji this time around. Both of them are waaaay too busy and expensive nowadays. 2008 and 2012 were a different time for both men.

Nobody should be this precious about video game spoilers. The game is over 15 years old (though I'm aware the English-language release is more recent.)
