Just to make sure I'm understanding this (because I'm a brainlet), this is about whether or not criticism of any type of group you're in is valid? Or if you should self-reflect on the collectives you're a part of?

I believe the topic of this thread can be surmised without the need of the OP. With that being said, nothing is preventing anyone from whatever Discord server that is from clicking on the link Class posted to Sep7 and going into this very thread and seeing that Class is impersonating Verb.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Collectors Edition:

- $80 so only $20 more than regular full game price.
- I think this is actually a pretty good bargain considering other games charge $70-$80 for just a steelbook, and while I gladly pay top dollar for those (because I'm a sucker for steelbooks) it's nice to get more extras out of it.
- Everything comes in a pretty thick and high quality box.
- The game itself comes in a regular PS4 case and the steelbook is empty; I really like this decision as I know some people like to display their steelbooks elsewhere without the game.
- Standard PS4 case has a reversible slip so the front cover is just the iconic game logo. I wish more FF games did this as I feel the logo is one of the most important elements for a FF title.
- Mini-OST with a few hand-picked tracks from the game.
- Small artbook; this artbook is hit & miss. One one hand, I LOVE art books, however it's very small. But then again Square Enix isn't really known for consistent artbook designs (World of FF, X/X-2 CE, and XV all had varying book sizes).
- Came with a Fat Chocobo & Cactuar summon materia DLC.

Does your area do partial-unemployment? Doesn't qualify for that either?

One of my jobs is paying me a percentage of what I usually get so I don't qualify for that.

I would've liked to get into 40k/table-top gaming in general but a variety of reasons has prevented me.

1. I am an absolutely garbage painter.
2. Getting everything to start seems a bit expensive.
3. A majority of my friends are either busy/not interested/live in completely different states.

I'm sure there's Orlando groups dedicated to it, but I still have to do something about the other two points.

I work in Magic Kingdom so we're still closed. Whenever we do reopen I have no idea what it's going to be like, my operation in particular is heavily reliant on college program kids, we have very few full timers and even fewer part timers; certainly not enough to run an operational day without CP interns. Before we closed I asked how we would reopen without CPs since they would need OJT and the response from my leader was "Ian why you gotta ask such a difficult question?" meaning they had no clue and I doubt the answer has changed over the last two months.

Is your day to day going to change at all?

Disney Springs will be reopening in three days. Operating participants (third party companies) will be open first and three Disney owned locations will open later this month (World of Disney, Marketplace Co-Op, and Deluxe Burger). Parking will be limited to only two of the garages (no surface parking) and everything including the property as a whole will be at 50% capacity. Masks are required for both guests and employees and protective glass has been installed everywhere.

Parks and resorts here in FL are still closed, but Shanghai has reopened and is being considered a massive success (tickets for the park were capped at 30,000 and sold out within minutes). Same guidelines will apply in the parks/resorts here in FL we were told by the executives still working along with six foot social distancing spots while waiting in lines for rides and designated sitting/standing spots for shows/fireworks.

Governor DeSantis has said that technically both Universal & Disney can reopen now if they so choose provided they have a plan in place with the Orange County mayor, however the mayor has refused to let them reopen until at least June (and Disney isn't accepting reservations right now until July). I believe the parks are just waiting for DeSantis to announce when we're officially in Phase 2 before seriously getting the ball rolling on the parks reopening.

What's the situation looking like at Disney
I can't imagine they'd be back to normal operations for a year or so

The curve has been flattened in Florida, so we're [finally] beginning the process of reopening. Parks, theaters, and some other locations are still closed but restaurants and retail stores can operate at 50% capacity, barbers and salons are reopened, and gyms will reopen starting tomorrow. Contrary to what some people would want you to believe, the only cost for a haircut right now other than the typical $14 is a two hour wait without an appointment.

Here's hoping we get to Phase 2 soon.

As for me personally, Florida Unemployment managed to fix the colossal fuck-up from a few weeks back and I was able to get two weeks of unemployment. Ironically I'm making $108 more a week than I was while working, but I still want to hurry and get back to work because the cabin fever is killing me both mentally and physically, pretty sure I've gained ten pounds over the last two months doing little movement outside my room. I just started Persona 3 since P5R created an itch for more.

I believe Jono was just quoting a Bungie dev on the subject of level design.

This is gorgeous but this is an absolutely awful space to fight bad guys in
I think you missed the point of the demo

While fluid contextual animation is cool, I wonder if the character is going to putting their hand on a door/wall every time they're nearby one. That would quickly ruin the immersion IMO and defeat the purpose.

Oh thank goodness, I can go back to worrying about what shade of blue Gendo's jacket is in the later episodes.

so it's basically the same dumbass scene, don't worry

No.

I refuse to believe they changed the dialogue from "Congratulations!"

The penny press machines in our stores would break down often, they're older pieces of equipment. One of the stores is all busy, all the time. So one of my cast will usually call in between transactions for me to come and take a look at it, I'll just slap an Out of Order sign on it and call the repair people and then be on my way. We usually have a box of pennies already pressed in case someone lost their money to it, if not we just open up the register and give them back whatever they put in.

I've been throwing a lot of my time (and money) lately into FFBE and whenever I do the daily Mog Spinner, at least 3/7 ads are for this game. Let me guess, you copied the what that one Youtube Thot was shilling about the game? It sounds almost word for word to the ad.

It hasn't changed much since I was already working shifts that were typically 5pm-2:30am. A few weeks back I did do an allnighter while playing P5, I simply wasn't tired but then again I did down a whole bottle of Mt. Dew at like 2am while I was playing, that might have had an effect.

Anyone else stopped caring about their sleep pattern?

Original Blade Runner is a classic that inspired a lot of other stories in entertainment being made, although none could really touch on the subject of artificial life like it did. IMO the new one is only good mostly because of the meme-potential in Ryan Gosling.

Can someone explain Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2O49 because I really don't understand how people love them so much

I still remember when of the first few games of Halo 3 I played, I guy was screaming at us to veto Sandtrap and we didn't do it. "Veto! Veto!! VETO!!! Ah you guys are a bunch of Niggers!" before leaving as soon as the game started.

According to Search and Destroy lobbies, everyone is required to say it at all times.

Here is a product overview/review for my Godzilla collection. I have FFVII Remake pictures as well, but....I don't have much of an interest in it right now since I chose to start Persona 3 over it. Anyways....

Shin Godzilla Japanese Blu-ray release & Shin Godzilla US Blu-ray release

- I won't go over the US release too much, the product is next to the Japanese release more to show a size comparison between the two.
- You can get the US release for 12 bucks on Rightstuff.
- Case is just like any other movie case w/ sleeve but it's in black instead of blue.
- Just the movie with some trailers and interview with some literal who.

- Japanese Blu-ray is way nicer; $31 on CDJapan (When I bought it back in 2017 it was like $60  >:()
- Case is similar to the Japanese releases of the Eva NTE movies. Orange peel finish but in black with just the logo, nothing on the back.
- Inner case is a fold in red that's also just the logo in white.
- Three disc set, first disc is the movie, second is trailers and TV spots extras, third is video footage of its theatrical release in Japan starring the actors answering fan questions and talking about the movie; some behind the scenes footage but not much.
- No English subtitles, Japanese script is also on the first disc.
- 20 page pamphlet included going over more behind the scenes with the practical and visual effects, as well as chapter/audio listings (showing some of the tracks are straight up pulled from Eva 3.33, not just cut and edited, it's the literally the same track title to title).

Godzilla The Showa-Era Films, 1954-1975 Criterion Blu-ray Collection

- $112, 15 movies (listed in the pictures) in a MASSIVE book.
- Size of book, think of the PS3 collectors edition of FFX/X-2 HD.
- Artwook on both the front and back of the book.
- All the discs are held in sleeves in the very back after all the pages, showing the same artwork as the very front (not pictured without the discs cause I forgot).
- Two pages dedicated to each film talking about each movie and its production along with a special promotional artwork.
- Last disc contains some special features.
- Seven discs of movies with an eighth disc containing supplements.
- One last picture for size reference.

Pictures below:

There's really not much to do at my mom's place, so I'm hoping she doesn't ask me to come over tomorrow. I already spent time with her for her birthday a week and a half ago. If she does want me over at least I'll have an excuse to get rid of a ribeye that's been sitting in my freezer, we'd probably just end up watching anime like we normally do.

Never mind, I just looked it up. Don't know how to feel about this.

I didn't read much Superman when I was younger, it was mostly Green Lantern and Batman I read. Was there something after Doomsday?

It was close, the insane backlash was pretty damn hilarious but not quite considering he technically does appear in PQ2. It would have to be a character that makes complete no sense like Goku. I'll also except Master Chief, Doom Guy, or Saber.

You get the idea.
