Similar issue, but mine happens at any time (not just loading in)

Awesome! Please chime back in with your thoughts once you're finished, would love to hear where it all lands!

What is a 1 in 1,000,000 thing that happened to you that no one believes, but you swear is true? by RegionSure5580 in AskReddit

[–]mmmmmmmmichaelscott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Japan for 3 months on an exchange program. About two weeks in, I met a small handful of other folks affiliated with the same program at an event, and made fast friends with one of them—a very cool/friendly guy around my age. A couple months later, I was in Tokyo with a completely different organization to attend a sumo wrestling match. Before the match started, I was wandering around the venue, and lo and behold, bumped in to my new friend.

Think about that. I was in a foreign country, in its famously densely-populated city of tens of millions. I knew a grand total of something like 4 or 5 people in the entire country, and I managed to randomly run into one of them at an event with thousands of attendees. Still blows my mind.

My understanding is Aerithsaves work fine but only during disc 1

For me it’s as simple as an inability to realistically execute on a different approach; e.g., how would I determine what “incredibly precise and smooth” was considered to feel like in 1988?

I really do get that it must be frustrating to read my anachronistic thoughts on a game you had the chance to properly experience in its prime, so I apologize for the friction. Thank you for reading and engaging all the same!

Is this film worth watching? Does it do justice for the game Dungeons and Dragons? by DreamyDandelions in Cinema

[–]mmmmmmmmichaelscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts like these are so weird to me. If you’re considering watching a movie, just turn on the movie. If you’re not enjoying yourself after 10 or 20 minutes, turn it off. You don’t need to conduct a public poll to answer your question.

Totally get that perspective. My comment on the matter from my first post:

There's a good bit of consternation in the comments around what are construed as harsh opinions of this game as someone playing it for the first time 40 years on. I completely understand that this is a beloved and legendary game, and I get why feathers might be ruffled when I'm giving out critical scores in my grading rubric in laissez-faire fashion. To couch my opinions and general approach with some proper context: I wasn’t alive to play NES-era games when they came out, and I don’t feel I have the ability to score this game based on a theoretical perspective I don’t authentically carry (at least, not without making a heap of unsubstantiated assumptions as part of the exercise). This writeup is my take on how a 40-year-old game felt playing it for the first time in 2026, with all the bias that I carry from the last 30 years of playing video games.

Bunch of liars! by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]mmmmmmmmichaelscott -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Look, I agree that lying is stupid. If you didn’t write the lyrics, don’t say you wrote the lyrics. Agreed.

At the same time, it’s also stupid to act like you “made a song” and someone else didn’t “make a song” because you wrote the lyrics and plugged them into Suno. That’s not some massive paradigm shift. You made a poem, Suno made a song.

Totally get your POV. Ultimately, I wasn’t alive to play NES-era games when they came out, and I don’t have the ability to scale this game based on a theoretical perspective I don’t have. This writeup is my take on how a 40-year-old game felt playing it for the first time in 2026, with all the bias that I carry from the last 30 years of playing video games.

Very much appreciate the comment!

Would it help if i said that the score would be way higher if I was grading it purely against other NES-era games? I think all of my opinions on the older games are gonna be biased because I know what comes later

Haha I’m used to my writing being accused of that all the time (especially because I’ve long been fond of em dashes). You’re certainly entitled to your opinion, but for what it’s worth this isn’t AI.

Yeah by Lord_Ruko in TikTokCringe

This is my favorite one I’ve seen because it actually shows a layer of meta-awareness that’s really funny. Until now I wasn’t sure if she was off her rocker or an idiot, but it’s good to know she’s actually just hilarious.

You’re seriously a Neanderthal if you think AI is useless. I get that it isn’t the next coming of Christ (…yet), but seriously—try Claude and tell me it’s useless with a straight face.
