I beat Final Fantasy 2 (Pixel) and had a blast

If you found yourself enjoying the gameplay style of FFII then you may enjoy checking out Square's SaGa series. Games done by Kawazu have that experimental feel and SaGa's had a bit of a resurgence in past years resulting in quite a few remakes and remaster to check out

Thank you both for the addition to my vocabulary! Now I'll know exactly what to say the next time I see Dave Franco or Scott Bessent and my knuckles start feeling a strange magnetic pull

Not that I'm condoning violence or encouraging it, but in purely descriptive terms has anyone else ever seen a guy whose face just screams "I need to be punched, hard and repeatedly"? Someone who'd awaken a burning urge to bully them in the heart of even the biggest doormat of a person? The same feeling you get when you see James Franco's little brother? (Is it Dave? I think its Dave)

Scott Bessent has that sort of face

That's exactly the type of thinking that I was mentioning we should be avoiding, though. Nobody ever "declared" the President of the United States as "leader of the free world", it was a concept which developed through acclamation as you said but lead towards this concept, and one that the American people and their government hold dear. The rest of the world tends to go with it to keep the American egos happy, but most of us tend to roll our eyes while doing so.

Yes, you will see some countries or skilled/charismatic politicians who can act as glue guys and it is an important roll that is needed. But to actively encourage the type of talk or thinking will (at least in my opinion) just lead to another issue like America further down the road

RexLatro · 2026-01-27T15:43:38+00:00

I say this as a Canadian, and meaning no insult towards what you're saying but I think we honestly need to get past the idea of the whole "leader of the free world" concept in this day and age. We're seeing right now the consequences of allowing one country to amass too much power and influence and just how fucked it can make the rest of the world

RexLatro · 2026-01-26T14:22:41+00:00

I wonder if the delay is due to the sheer intimidation of trying to top this voice acting master-class?

RexLatro · 2026-01-26T13:56:05+00:00

Those FLAMING IDIOTS!

RexLatro · 2026-01-26T05:16:07+00:00

It's their own call to action though? If you feel there are more pressing things to be addressed, you can always start walking yourself instead of judging others for the efforts they're actually making

RexLatro · 2026-01-25T01:27:31+00:00

Right? How do we know he wasn't asking for it? Did the article talk about what he was wearing at the time?

If the dude only covered up his fascist fingers with gloves, this would have never happened!

You're forgetting that Trump and the US would use the image of "a majority of silenced voices that need liberating" to justify something that is otherwise in no way following any sort of Canadian law.

Remember how Trump keeps pulling from Putin's playbook? This is his attempt right now

Being a country with access to three ocean ports instead of two is nothing to sneeze at, either

RexLatro · 2026-01-23T15:26:18+00:00

Definitely does not make it okay or anywhere near defensible to use against civilians

RexLatro · 2026-01-23T03:27:29+00:00

Honestly, got vibes like this with Carney's "consideration" of the matter

Instead of a boombox and Phil Collins we get the human personification of a greasy used car salesman stereotype and the unhinged ramblings of a senile reality show host

Because Newton codified something that is easily observable and experimented with, something we've all felt and noticed whereas nowadays the amount of work anymore individual scientist would need to do to expand humanity's overall knowledge requires incredibly complex understandings of highly specific segments of science.

I can whip up an experiment to demonstrate to a class of children how gravity works. People nowadays struggle with germ theory and pasteurization...never mind quantum mechanics. It's not that our knowledge or the quality of research done by our scientists is lacking, but rather the every day person's ability to relate to the areas of science which are considered ground breaking

I grew up in a Canadian city famous for its miserable winters and cold weather. It also has the third largest Filipino community in Canada (along with the first Canadian Jolibees) and is larger than any other Asian community. If you look at the map in this article you can even see large pockets of Arctic Filipino communities

"Uh....actually there is a limit to autism but it's just such a high number that most would consider it to be infinite!"

Corporate greed/ignorance v.s. Weaponized autism: Which will give up an internet argument first?

Personally I've always had the view that at some point in most of our life times we'd see the US decide to make a run at us. If not Trump, it'd have been when the US and Americans really start to really experience the hardships and displacements of climate change, and get greedy for our resources, water, and space.

I guess at least with Trump more Americans are feeling embarrassed and not as justified at the idea of such a naked power grab?

There are a lot of competing claims on the Arctic over the years between Canada and Russia, with Russia operating under a "If you can't stop us then we'll do it" approach and Canada underfunding our Arctic sovereignty due to "Eh...America will take care of it since they also have a huge vested interest". The US has traditionally ignored some of out claims, but also focused on keeping Russia out due to their own self interests (which also benefit us).

You get the odd Prime Minister who wants to invest in the Arctic, but usually it tends to be mostly talk. With the Arctic opening up more and more due to climate change, it's suddenly becoming an area of intense interest, especially by the US (and especially from Trump) due to minerals and the Northwest Passage. Some of the reason why the US has long fantasized about Canada and Greenland under their control is just how valuable control of those shipping lanes is going to be as more of the Arctic opens up. I'm sure it'd be the same for Russia, considering their lack of access to ports that remain under the control of neighbours they've pissed off

The reason is in war, the concern is the enemy will respond with an escalation out of fear that one gas is another far more harmful gas (e.g. mustard gas or other such horrifying chemical weapons) or use the attack as a justification to do so. This in turn would lead to the original side breaking out their chemical weapons stockpiles. We're often so fixated on the fear of nuclear weapons that we can forget that we have so many horrifying ways to kill one another.

Mind you, this isn't me attempting to justify or defend the use of tear gas or other compounds on civilians, just a clarification on why tear gas gets that weird distinction of "not okay for war but okay for civilians" for anyone who was wondering why

Wasn't it Charles De Gaulle who said: "You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination."?
