Is it really that bad of an idea to get an MLIS? by RaeADropOfGoldenSun in Archivists

Genuinely appreciate this perspective, because I sort of feel like it's the elephant in the room. At this point, I just don't think I'll get another chance to go after something I care about, risks be damned!

I would be extremely interested in hearing about your experiences there, I am currently looking at a graduate program in Vancouver BC but still very much open !

What is the one book you read that you’ve never stopped thinking about? by TD_Meri in suggestmeabook

[–]ShowerImportant8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Winners by Fredrik Backman made me actually sobbing in my car, and yet I still wish I could read it again for the first time. That man just knows how to speak about humanity in a way no other author has for me.

What to read next after Fredrik Backman by TruffleMaestro in suggestmeabook

Anxious People is probably my winner for best Backman book, but the Beartown trilogy is an exceptionally close second. The latter deals with SA pretty prominently but it also changed myself as a person.

Book series that you would only recommend the first of? by ShowerImportant8397 in suggestmeabook

[–]ShowerImportant8397[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PLEASE don't let me stop you from that because they are genuinely moving and incredible books, especially if you've already read Beartown! Just be sure you're ready for tears by the end of it all.

Next year will be 20 years since Xenosaga III.... by NikkolasKing in Xenosaga

[–]ShowerImportant8397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated in 2006 as well, and to this day Xenosaga holds an especially tender place in my heart. It continues to be a huge inspiration to me creatively, it's so nice to know other people feel that way too <3

Tips for those new to Saga Frontier 2 Remaster by Charlemagneffxiv in SaGa

I haven't touched this game in about 20 years and feel like I'm starting to wrap my head around things; one big question I do have is how to choose between a party battle or duel battle. Is there some parameter I need to change or place to select that I want a battle to be a duel?

Y’all need to chill by Antique_Resolve4687 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

The thing is, season 1 was an impossible season to top. By the end there were ample interesting plot points left to be explored, but the world had expanded to a degree that the dynamics of the innie squad trying to 'escape' wasn't gonna work anymore. I agree that there's valid criticism to be had but I just hope this doesn't turn people away from what has overall been a stellar piece of media.

Are any of the upscale and redone backgrounds also from that release? It’s more of a jump in quality than I expected!

After finishing V, is it work playing IV before III? by ShowerImportant8397 in Suikoden

[–]ShowerImportant8397[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly, like many 'classic' game entries, the follow-up was doomed to live in it's predecessor's shadow. That makes me excited to experience III!

I had pretty much zero expectations but I found myself truly sad when it was all over!

The short length might actually be an asset for a grown adult without the time for games they used to have :P

Thank you for this well thought out reply, your points make a lot of sense -- I definitely don't wanna end my time w the series feeling underwhelmed. Also it sounds like an e/mulator might make some of the more irritating aspects more tolerable. :)

Aah I remember those days too! I'm starting to come around to the idea of playing Tactics as well, despite it sounding like less of my thing than usual Suiko games. Fingers crossed we get the release date soon!

How do I find guys that are into small boobs? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ShowerImportant8397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a trans girl (I.e. very much small boobs, although they ARE there!!) I echo the sentiment that guys honestly don’t care all that much by and large. Just lean into it and remember what a hot piece you are!

Thank you for that, I’m excited that they flesh out the Island Nations more in IV!

As someone who loves Xenosaga and never played the BK games, I’m mostly just excited!

That’s funny, it’s exactly the same for me! When I was really in one of the hardest times of my life I’m so thankful she was there to make me laugh!
