The placing your units at the start of the battle is probably the feature that is annoying me most because like, I have no idea how the map looks. Am i placing them on an island? Am I placing them in front of a wall? Where are they in relation to anyone else? I have no idea.

The mechanic where after like, 3 or so rounds an enemy becomes a crystal that can heal you or that in some cases you can learn a skill from, or they become an item, seems entirely useless as I have yet had a battle last long for that to count down outside of random battles I've used to grind points.

Off Topic: Does the "add post" continue the thread, or make an entirely separate post?

So part of this reason is because the arenas are so pathetically small that you can usually hit anything on the first round, so you've usually taken out any major threat before it even gets a second turn.

So, some initial thoughts on #FinalFantasyTactics after completing "Golgorand Execution Site" mission.

Okay, so magic is so unbelievably OP and is basically a 1hit KO at this point in the game and running with two Wizards/Summoners has trivialized every battle so far. #retrogaming #ps1

Since the 80s, Pfft. There's no way you're that old.

This is some special level of ignorant of a response.

i will say that if youre gonna be the kind of person who calls AI on everything, you better at least know what to look for and how to back all of it up

Sounds just like what an AI would say...

I mean, shit. The oligarchs were just the people in government before. It's the same fucking playbook pretty much everyone has been using, just painted a different colour on the cover.

And like let's not fucking kid ourselves. Despite all it's rhetoric, the U.S.S.R./Russia today IS the fucking west. It's still a fucking white, european, christian, patriarchal , imperialist power.

04.11.2025 00:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

All the options were shit. All the options were built on a legacy of resource extraction, murder, genocide, and the blood of the mentally ill, and disabled, and queer, and ethnic minorities.

Shit sandwich, giant douche, or unwashed taint. Take your pick.

Lithuanians and Estonians would as well.

Because it wasn't the communism, or fascism, or capitalism that mattered, it was the fact that they were all bloody imperialist.

04.11.2025 00:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Because Stalin was certainly known for not committing horrifying crimes in the U.S.S.R.'s "colonies" and against minorities at home...

I think all of the minority groups within Russia might have something to say about that, as well as Ukranians, Poles, Kazaks, Belarusians, Romanians, Latvians

It was, essentially, a nuke.

For those that never experienced the N64 version, it replaced the freeze thrower and could be charged up, causing the weapon to shake and whine and then would fire this massive plasma ball that would explode on impact turning the screen white for a second before revealing its massive blast radius.

100% it was completely self aware, and almost a satire of like 80s action movie tropes (and like 50s space serials but don't quote me on the decade) rather than an homage. And yes, chapter 2 in space was genuinely fucking creepy.

Loved the plasma cannon which just felt like the most badass weapon.

Duke Nukem was like the quintessential game of the 90s while also being so based off of 80s action tropes.
