I know it's smart to invest because savings accounts are worthless from an interest perspective, but neither will matter anyway when rich idiots destroy the economy again in probably the exact same way as last time.

Everything is meaningless so don't even bother.

Also rent in my apartment complex goes up like 10% per year.

I live in Seattle so this doesn't exist. Being homeless in this city is waiting around for the police to beat you because a rich tech executive was uncomfortable by your existence.

Sounds exactly like Dark Souls.

I thought goons loved X-2 so I’m confused by this page

FFX-2's combat and job system are great. It has the best version of the Final Fantasy ATB combat system ever IMO

The story and structure are bad, though.

I spent $100 this week to hang game art on my walls, and I feel like it is one of the most extravagant expenses I have made in years.

I just adorn my walls with the empty cases because Games Are Art.

It's impressive that every single one of Yuna's X-2 outfits is worse than her X outfit

Good combat though yeah. Multiple attacks going simultaneously is a natural extension of ATB and mid combat job switching is a natural extension of a job system

ffx has some neat bits but it's really slow and draining. that combat system is not good for the amount of random encounters the game throws at you

An almost-perfect set but it really needs Scarface, Big Lebowski and Fight Club.
