Emulators that use a lot of the open source code the community they hate has created.
Do you have a source for this claim?
F-Zero GX, hands down. Nothing else is even close.
It’s not like Square Enix doesn’t know how to make good turn-based games. They’ve been hitting it out of the park with their smaller budget projects like Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler. So I don’t know why they’ve rejected it for FF, imagine what they could do with a big budget title if they tried.
I joke about how halfway through development, someone at Square Enix must’ve realized that Bravely Default was actually a good game, and thus too good for the FF name. So instead they had to throw darts at an English dictionary to rebrand it.
I tried to like 12, but I found it painfully tedious. I couldn’t carefully ration my MP the way I wanted to with gambits, and I don’t want to automate the game anyway, I want to actually play it myself. But manual takeover just felt way worse than a normal turn-based system too, the way it grinds the pacing to a halt and takes forever made it apparent that the game isn’t designed to be played manually.
I’m just disappointed in the way Square Enix seems to think turn-based combat is anathema for some reason. The series has abandoned its roots, it just isn’t FF to me.
Do you think disliking nazis was something we were supposed to stop doing at some point?

Took me far too long to realize what it’s supposed to say.
I play games that are so niche that ‘matchmaking’ consists of pinging people on Discord. I’ve played the same rivals often enough that I have a pretty good idea of who’s close to my level and where the skill gaps lie.
I can play a long FT20 set with someone and there will be many individual rounds that look completely one-sided, for both of us. But because it’s a long set and not just one-and-done, we can see how normal that really is when it keeps happening in both directions. That’s something that will always be a part of games, and there’s no magically flawless matchmaking algorithm that would prevent it.
Not sure if I would recommend the PS1 versions specifically, especially with the cheap foam pads they came with.
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
- Final Fantasy VII/IX (not VIII)
- Tales of Phantasia (has a PSP remake with a lot of extra content but that’s JP-only…)
- Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1/2
I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Balatro does not contain loot boxes/gacha. In a world where so many modern AAA games are exploiting all kinds of shady dark patterns, Balatro took off by not doing any of that shit. It’s just a sincerely fun game, and it sounds like you’re literally just complaining that it’s too fun and that should somehow be policed.
No one CEO can ruin it.
Right now we’re seeing a cycle of people jumping ship from one corporate-owned platform to another, until that new platform inevitably turns to shit. But as long as people keep doing that, corporate-owned platforms will inevitably turn to shit. The only true solution is to cut corporations out of the picture with platforms that are designed to be unruinable.
How would you even go about classifying this? It sounds like you’re saying games aren’t allowed to be too fun.

Have you talked to her and told her those kinds of “jokes” make you uncomfortable? If you have and she pushes back, then I think it’s fair to question if you can be friends with someone who continues acting disrepectful even when asked not to.
But if you haven’t brought it up, maybe it’s possible she just needs someone to call her out and snap her out of it. Give her a chance to see if she can grow and change.
