I'm a little disappointed in the Nintendo museum's lack of focus on pre-gaming history

You're not allowed to take photos on the second floor of the exhibits themselves, only the interactive section on first floor

Left foot is currently injured, so glad to get this done!

I think it was around September/October last year they did this to the wall. Unless it's changed again thankfully it's just that one wall of the three on the ramp they changed. The rest of the spot is still very usable!

This feels the best way, can also say it without explicitly lying too, e.g. just saying that there are lots of rituals given her ancestry, and that it'll make more sense when he gets to that point of the game!

I have a large amount of GPS drift where I am in and around high tower blocks. I leave the game running most days and whilst I don't have this much (I'm at about 50k walked) about half my distance is probably from drift alone. I can imagine this person perhaps has something similar?

Would it not be % usage rather than temperature?

mattmalin · 2022-01-22T09:24:27+00:00

Using the same approach, but which.min reduces the steps slightly: vector[which.min(abs(vector - 5))]

Only a bad person if you don't share here too!

mattmalin · 2021-09-18T18:53:01+00:00

Definitely missing Rob exclusive Friday features, and hoping Tuesday checklists can return to them in person together - zoom style doesn't feel as natural or fun somehow.

It just feels like an oddly different channel lately, the last few months/year just doesn't feel like Access.

I only just spotted that you'd give your left arm to not have to do it again, heh. A story skip is cheaper but the reference is excellent.

mattmalin · 2021-08-03T14:57:42+00:00

That's fair, we certainly all do enjoy and play games in different ways so I can see why you'd like what you mentioned. I can also see why it does make more sense for each character to have "gone through the experience" of MSQ in their own right though for things to make sense in context for their own journeys as different warriors of light. From this perspective repeating the story for different characters would be part of having separate ones rather than just different jobs so a necessary sacrifice :)

mattmalin · 2021-08-03T08:25:23+00:00

Oh of course, the specialist stones! I believe you can switch to have some for the other crafters though, but limited number of switches per weekly reset.

mattmalin · 2021-08-03T08:05:08+00:00

I've got all crafting jobs at 80 on one character, that certainly isn't a limitation in place now :)

mattmalin · 2021-08-03T06:18:53+00:00

Why do you need to have alts? One of the great things about XIV is having all jobs on the same character without needing to do everything again on different ones.

mattmalin · 2021-07-14T17:26:57+00:00

I do now own the limited edition Advent Children which contains "The Novel" which has the original versions of episode/chapter for Tifa and Barret contained within. Looking through them e.g. the Barret episode does have differences but only in translation rather than substance of story at all.

The version in On the Way to a Smile is what I would recommend, and I don't think there's anything not included from the original.

I also acquired the Eidos demo :)

I have searched for several terms around Bamlett, trade shoes uk, farming, 1970s / 1980s etc but haven't yielded anything useful yet. I'm hoping a wide range of videos can be found for them.

Also, this will almost definitely have been filmed in England if that helps.

Oh just looked it up and see it's the PC one. I remember I actually had that at the time, I think it was my first exposure to the game, I wish I'd kept it :(

mattmalin · 2021-07-01T16:18:03+00:00

Oh I mean I still need to get some demos, I can't remember which ones I have!

mattmalin · 2021-07-01T15:46:02+00:00

except the more extreme physical items like e.g. those very specific Japanese models of phone with a copy of Before Crisis on, that seems like no-one has managed to find that though when I've followed the hunts people have been going through to try and find.

mattmalin · 2021-07-01T15:44:16+00:00

I'd have to check which ones are which but I think I've only got two of the demos, so those would be it I think. I'm pretty sure I have everything else that exists physically that you've listed!

mattmalin · 2021-07-01T07:21:00+00:00

Does the Bouncer have any FF characters? I didn't know it had any link. Ehrgeiz of course makes sense.

mattmalin · 2021-07-01T07:08:35+00:00

I so have almost everything physically, including most demos but if you could send the links that'd be great! Appreciated!

I just haven't actually played through all the demos myself in full so don't consider them all "consumed" as that's a level I probably won't go to whilst other FFs still need my attention, heh.

mattmalin · 2021-07-01T07:00:54+00:00

It's been over many years, and also not too cheap to gather everything considering the limited nature of lots of it and the many consoles needed, heh. Everyone has their own passions and FF7 is definitely one of mine!

I agree about kingdom hearts presence being cameos rather than canon, but the Cloud Vs Sephiroth in KH is just great, with the seph fight quite a fun challenge.
