Mopeybloke Link ParentAre they actually ahead of XBOX when it comes to performance or image quality? I was guessing as long as one plays multiplats, series X and PS5 were the same essentially.Sony is the highest quality gaming experience in the living room by miles.

Maybe that's an uncommon opinion, but the stuff from the noughties looks good. Better than usual 2010's and later stuff because things aren't all coated in shiny, reflective vaseline. You can't take a fantasy show seriously if it looks like that.
Also, at the beginning, Balsa walks past a few children singing the same old Asian song that features in the parade of Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. I wonder what that is. Probably a famous cultural touchstone that I'm ignorant of.

Comment on What is your favorite Final Fantasy game? in ~games

Years prior I had a birthday party, and my friend forgot his sleeve of PSX games. It was full of RPGs I tried, including Chrono Cross, Legend of Legaia, and the like. It also had the PSX ports of Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger. CT was easily my favourite game from then on. Final Fantasy IV, which it was bundled with, I tried playing for a bit and never got far. It didn't intrigue me very much.
Later on in 2004 or so, I ran into VII in a games store I frequented, and I remembered not finishing IV, but bought it on a whim. I was instantly floored by its presentation and the plot intrigued me a lot. It was like a more detailed, deeper version of CT. So I got my trusty English dictionary and braved it. The translation and the text's relative complexity made it challenging though.
The themes of the nature of life, how we relate to the world we live in and all the sci-fi aesthetics were captivating, and the complexity of the plot made it so I learnt something new every time in the future I revisited it. It's the most important game to me.
It's easy, and has a captivating plot and presentation, making it a good recommendation for people willing to try this style of game, though recently people expect games to be more technically demanding. Also, I love that fans have spent about 10 years giving this game a worthier English localisation.

I was looking for something relaxing and perhaps pretty to look at, and well, I couldn't stand the annoying childlike voices all the characters have and their usual high-pitched reactions to every mundane thing that happens. The best moments are those with the solo camper Rin, or when she's with Nadesiko. The opening theme alone made me think this wasn't going to be what I was looking for, and I should've heeded it.
Too bad we couldn't have more chill time alone with Rin.
Maybe next I'll get onto my Seirei no Moribito rewatch.

I thought this series would be relaxing and it occasionally is, but they try to push jokes constantly and all the dialogue is filled is girls exaggerating emotion with those monosyllabic vocalisations and it isn't calming to watch. It's cringe a lot of the time.

The studio that produced it, Bee Train, was founded as sort of a hospital for animators. Animation quality was lax over there, to allow animators to not overwork while still collecting a pay.

You just never regret watching an episode of this.
There are two series I might be watching soon. Rewatch Seirei no Moribito or starting Yuru Camp. I should probably start Camp anyway so I can have something chill to watch.

Youtube has "watch later" and other playlists, Reddit has saving, etc. There has also been a rise in people that have dozens of tabs open at all times and have browsers set to open old tabs when launched. So it would be that bookmarks aren't a feature many people are using all that much or would like to see improved.

However, I ain't sure I'll be switching back to main Firefox since Floorp already has some of these features like vertical tab [and better tree-style tab integration].
The AI stuff seems to be the new meme of the day. I wonder whether this will be feature everyone lets go of in the future. I've barely used it though.

If you aren't watching this, and want to have some fun, you owe it to yourself to give this one a try. Because it's fun, and even if you aren't invested in it long term, you'll still hardly regret watching an episode. The series' tone is pretty absurd, though not in a manner that alienates the audience.
And
And I am emotionally invested dammit!
Prefacing this with I don't play on consoles. That would suck if it were true. Are you only talking about exclusives? Cause I think most high budget games try to come out in as many platforms as they deem worth their while.
