FF VII and FF VIII where the first two games I played in the series, but i was very young and didn’t really know what I was doing. I think we had rented one game, and borrowed another. I really don’t remember much about either game, but FF IX came out on ps1, and to this day it’s my image of what FF means.

The unique worlds, characters, incredible (at the time and not bad for today) cutscene cinematic. It was the first game I discovered you can outpace yourself and wind up in a battle with a level 60 dragon when you’re only level 13.

My brother really got into FF X and i remember watching him play. To this day, I hate Blitzball lol. We both sucked at it.

FF VII-2 for the psp was actually really cool. I don’t remember much anymore but the story, gameplay, and music were all great. I would like to try replaying it!

I played a little of XIII and quite a few hours of XV. The games have really changed. Especially XV, some things have improved for the better but there’s a lot of tropes and unfortunate stereotypes that could have been…removed.

Edit: Vivi is the best FF character! 😊

My arachnophobia is always conflicted by this… 😅

Valheim at msrp. So. Many. Hours. Such a fantastic game.

For everyone’s sake it might be best to refuse to support the application because of the security risks with such an outdated program.

I’m about the same. Last switch was yahoo to Gmail and now I’m in the process of switching from Gmail to Proton Mail. The most difficult part was the mental switch - which email you start giving out when you sign up. Second was migrating services. I made it a point for a while each time I logged into something knew I would switch the primary email. Its been a long process!

I just picked up The Last Stand: Aftermath, and have been really enjoying playing that game.

A few of my absolute favorites

• Battletech

• Witcher 3

• Parkitect

Never understood you southpaws lol

Man that game was so weird and quirky! It was fun, but I also remember having problems exiting the game for some reason lol. It’s available from GOG if you ever get the itch.

I’m not totally sure, but i think bookshop does profit sharing regardless if the indie bookstore you designate is actually the seller/shipper. I subscribe to Libro.fm (a drm free audible alternative), and they do the same thing. I can designate an indie store and Libro splits a percentage of the profits with them.

I am familiar! (as an owner of too many boardgames) I think this could work for a lot of things!

Thiftbooks is my goto for used but I’ve always used Abe as a backup. For new I use bookshop.org. So disappointing. I will check out alibris. I know the name, but have never used the service.

Not AbeBooks!?! 😲😭

I will check it out! Known about it for a long time but I’ve never really taken a look.

If you were ever a fan of Rollercoaster Tycoon, check out Parkitect. It’s a phenomenal and fun themepark game!

Isometric Theme Park simulators. I’m in love with Parkitect and have fond memories playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 as a kid.

I have a huge shelf of shamepportunity (see what I did there? Now no one can correct me! 🤣) what I like vs what I get to play with my friends/SO vary greatly.

Some of my favorites

• Undaunted Normandy
• Trails (my SO and I play this one a lot at bars)
• Tak, a lovely abstract strategy game
• Spire’s End and Spire’s End Hildegard
• March of the Ants
• Cosmic Frog
