Getting my new PC case today and having everything in it work (except for the HDD LED, but that's not an issue really).

Also, getting to sit down finally after spending several hours putting my computer electronics inside the said case. It's tiring work putting all that stuff in there.

There something romentic about a post-apocalypse

i have found Alexander in world of final fantasy as well as one of my favorite regions out of the franchise... and it is totally NOT what i expected!

big bridge...ALEXANDER is both the bridge itself AND a mirage! this thing is also the bridge connecting 2 continents like the one in FFV. it's freaking HUGE!

just what is alexander? i've seen it as a castle before (FFIX)...maybe a giant mech (FFVI's form iirc), and now as Big Bridge itself? i am SO glad i don't have to fight this thing. this thing could probably defeat even someone as mighty as bahamut (who i think i saw flying out from under figaro castle...or was that diablo?) in an instant.

edit: actually, forget bahamut. it'd probably take entire armies of eidolons and all sorts of other creatures to even hope to defeat something like this. and that's if they could somehow get past the wings blocking incoming attacks.

Alexander is a holy Robot or Fortress, presumably innocent due to having no sinful thought. Its appearance can vary, but it is always considered an "Innocent machine."
The exact intentions behind Alexander aren't something I'm sure of, though. You may have to contact Square Enix to ask.

o_O that's...interesting. and in the case of WoFF, i found out it's (after climbing up the entire bridge. ty for skipping chunks of the climb in each section, squarenix.) actually in it's large robot form with the bridge extending forward/downwards in front of it.

it's a pretty intimidating sight when you get fairly close to it. jiants, nevermind the lilikin, would be insects in size comparison. it's like an arms fortress of the FF universe.

You make Alexander sound like Mechonis.

BlueDingo said:

well, Alexander can dwarf a castle (easily, as seen in FFIX), his wings can block Bahamut's attacks (probably anything else thrown at it too), and in FFIX Alexander unleashed a wave of at least 30-50+ lasers that wound up taking down Bahamut in 1 attack so yeah, Alexander is pretty powerful. 5 of those lasers probably would've done the job if Bahamut hadn't dodged some of them.

though (judging by the pics of mechonis here) one of the biggest differences between the two would probably be that mechonis is humanoid while Alexander is more like a giant fortress unless it has a humanoid form i've never seen before.

Worth noting is that Mechonis is one of the two Gods of the Xenoblade Chronicles world. Alexander, due to how powerful he can be, is sometimes considered one, but as far as I know never explicitly stated or even implied to actually be so.

well, given that the last "xeno" game i played was the 3rd xenosaga game (which i wouldn't recommend playing tbh as that series is one of those where you have a decent 1st game, so-so sequel and from there it doesn't stop going downhill. unfortunate but that happens sometimes.) so i don't really know anything about the chronicles series' lore.

now that i think of it, i might try emulating and beating xenogears again someday. iirc last time i tried with epsxe, i got as far as some underwater cave where the water effects caused the screen to be solid black. something about the visual effects in that game doesn't emulate very well as that would also happen at the intro fight/cutscenes as well.

having my furry ass spanked, and video games, also some rp, along with a lot more stuff...

oh boy, this is gonna be fun... long story short, i cleared the crystal tower in WoFF just now (Brandelis is one tough mofo of a boss! and...i'm probably gonna have to fight him again later on as well. darn) and things just got a whole lot more serious.

remember how the world turned dark in FFVI and the shit hit the fan in a MAJOR way? yep, they pulled another world of ruin only this time, unlike in FFXV, you play through it.

shame they didn't do this for XV but whatever. i'll take it in this game happily. :) and maybe find Bahamut somewhere and somehow manage to imprism him of all monsters. then i can start nuking things.

edit: Omega (pfft, pushover), Superaltima (O_O WTF IS THAT?! this thing was so tanky it let you repeat the fight until it finally went down...took me around 5 fights to kill it and for crappy rewards given the needed effort. >.<), now...einhander? no way, is that... it IS!

never played that game myself but it's supposed to be quite good for a sidescrolling shooter...or so i've read. >.> i mean, these kinds of reviews are kinda hard to deny, right?

what next, xenogears or xenosaga? these "cogna" really are from other worlds! no wonder the people of this world have trouble with them, they're not even of the same universe.

Different suffixes to the Xeno name seem to be different gameplay. Xenogears centered around the difference between using alien mechs and not using them, for example, but Xenoblade centered around the alien sword and the mystical power it granted the protagonist.

And Xenosaga is basically symbols that mean nothing for its own sake and Jesus with Amnesia using gloves based on a pun to defeat a genocidal species named after the concept of knowledge.

maybe

rarely anything makes me genuinely happy. even with all my talk of getting that ps4 pro for christmas, it's not as if i was bouncing around all excited like a little kid. and the first several games i got/rented for it wound up being either shitty ports or just shit.

my usual emotions probably range from meh or mildly happy/excited to pissed. you guys around here have probably seen how i get towards this end of things at some point or another.. >.>

It could. You might just be Depressed. Some forms of Depression include emotional numbness.

It's also possible you're like me and don't produce Serotonin or Dopamine naturally, or at least not in the amount that would result in feeling happiness or the sensation of fun. If this is the case, modern medicine has the answer, but it's different for each person.

I've been depressed for a very long time, and it was only about 3 years ago since I started taking medications for it. I wouldn't say that they're not helping however, if I wasn't taking them I'd be in a lot more distress than I am in right now.

It's just been so long since I've genuinely been happy, it's funny when I think about how optimistic and carefree I was when I was a kid who didn't really know any better. But now, that everything in my life is closing in on me I just don't really have the resources to be positive anymore. Many people think that you can just brute force yourself out of it and simply just forget that your problems exist, but it always finds ways to creep back to me whether I want to think about them or not.

Life, to me at least, is just an uninteresting struggle that you should be grateful for apparently, the people who make it seem easy are usually the ones who never had to struggle. But I digress.

I get what you're saying. I'm in a similar position.

Ever thought about if it would be nice if humans only lived to around 20 years old? Passing away before things grow old and stale and people would be more okay with death since it happened more often. Some say that life is too short but with a more cynical but realistic view we actually have quite a long life. How many animals live past 20?

This have turned into the sad thread.

If life were that short, I'd imagine humanity wouldn't have much to worry about. Having consensus thought of when you would be done with life could lead to a more cathartic, thrilling planet.

I actually think we're still way too short-lived. Then again, most of my stress comes from being 26, having no degree for various medical reasons that my college used as excuses to keep me from finishing, being in a physical state that would be expected from people twice my age, and having a fear of death because I know the minute I die my family will make it look self-inflicted to throw off suspicion.

Then again, immortality is one of the three things I would wish on someone I hate, the other two being full-body paralysis and invisibility.

My life was garbage until around the time I turned 20. While it's not amazing now, it's certainly a lot better than it was just a few years ago.

being both left-handed and ambidextrous. Lefties get to make the joke "that coffee mug is right handed" while sipping out of their lefties' coffee mug (it has a hole so people with their right hand get coffee on them when tilting it), and the real problem like my multitool is right handed for the blade...

Ambidextrous because it actually comes in handy (I'm not apologizing) when writing for long periods of time, and said righties' multitool is of moot point for me.

Various actually; list:

Tardigrades (suspended animation), sponges, cheloniis, crocodilians, ostriches, multiple deep sea fishes, lobsters, oysters, camels, guanacos, elephants, some lungfishes, cetaceans, many parrots, corals, some hydras etc.

Curiosity: if I am not wrong, the oldest animal registered was an oyster, which was over 400 years old (animals with no true tissues and/or with colonial life weren't considered, but some of these may live thousands years).

Hardly anyone ever thinks about us lefties. It's always right-handed scissors, can openers, ice-cream scoops, those chairs with a mini-desk attached to the right side, etc. Left-handed musicians get hit hard with this. If you don't bring your own left-handed guitar, you're gonna have to either restring a right-handed one, play a right-handed one upside-down or not play at all. You a left-handed drummer? Have fun rearranging the drum kit. A left-handed pianist doesn't stand a chance. I know left-handed version of most things exist (yes, even the piano ), but they're hardly ever available.

At least sheet metal workers don't have this problem. Tin snips for each side are usually found together and most of the other tools can go both ways.

Don't the leftist just become really good at using their right hand?

Sorrowless said:

Lefties have a greater chance at birth to also be ambidextrous, but even with that you need to "learn" it. In either or, you need to adapt to the fact that you are no longer using your dominant hand. If you get told to do something with The hand that isn't your main hand, it will show signs: curving inwards to compensate, lighter/heavier lines, angled letters; the most obvious is you perform the actions slower, especially with writing or hand-eye coordination tasks.

It's a novelty trick if you have specifically designed tools for your dominant hand, unless (for one example) you suffer from hand cramps when using a hand for extended periods of times.

BlueDingo said:

Those things are evil... even with left-handed variant both of them are too small for proper writing, and it makes me glad I invested in a hard, leather-bound folder and outright asked the teacher if it was OK to write on this.
