Major spoilers for A2, but it opens at a school in the town of St. Ivalice before the protagonist awakens in Ivalice roughly circa ffxii. It eventually turns out that another kid at school found a magic book or something and recreated the world as they want it to be, so you have to get them to wake up to return the world to how it was.
Theres nothing in the game to clarify whether that means any of the events happened in the timeline or not, or what it means for the other games.
Somewhere between most and all of the Ivalice games are confirmed to take place in the same timeline, though the entire place may just be a child’s dream so :shrug:
The timeline is something like XII->tactics a2->tactics->vagrant story->tactics advance, with legendary events between a2 and tactics that lock off magic.
Vehicles again. I’m not sure when it started, I just remember them being in 3.
Yeah, sorry, got them the wrong way round. I meant the second game.
Yeah, the secret Jewish technology stuff brings up a bunch of really not great implications for a game about killing Nazis.
TNO provoked the right on purpose with its “Make America Nazi Free Again” ad campaign. Worked perfectly, tons of free advertising.
IIRC they were being used without the minecraft look from the start - Crysis and Red Alert 3 used them, for example.
Revenge was my favourite. Not for the racing, but because when you crashed you could explode your car to fuck up the competition.
I never saw the third one but I vaguely remember it being set around the 1920’s, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the twist/entire plot.
Paint.NET is paint with a decent amount of functionality. Can’t do everything GIMP can, but it does all the basic stuff.
Yeah but it leads to the weird situation of people saying the most vile, xenophobic shit imaginable and then denouncing the Nazis for the same in the next breath. Kinda wish they’d just be honest about it.
A lot of teachers will try to emphasise the soviet contribution and explain that the UK’s resistance and harassment of German forces helped the Soviets win, but that tends to get lost in the fact that the actual soviet actions are barely touched upon, almost everything instead concentrating on the events of the western front.
It’s pretty simple - they don’t give a fuck. They have no incentive to do anything but the bare minimum. And the other day, the bare minimum meant you got a box and a half of free ice-cream.
So basically you know how battle royale games forbid teaming because just a small amount of cooperation can give a group of players a massive advantage on individuals?
Well capitalism is run as a battle royale, and China is teaming. And to continue the analogy, it’s not just a few people teaming, it’s like a quarter of the server with a central operational command to direct everyone from.
It’s some kind of high frequency noise that turns people violent distributed through SIM cards, the drugs one is the second (also only worth watching for a few minutes of the film, namely all the ones featuring Elton John)
IIRC they used the freebird solo as a placeholder while making the scene then realised there aren’t any other 4 and half minute guitar solos they could set it to.
UK. We did the same, the bank told us we had to knock 5k off our offer to get the mortgage, but luckily the owner still accepted.
Unfortunately they generally do have the extra cash on hand, because it’s not petty landlords buying houses, it’s conglomerates trying to monopolise the market.
Bought a house a few years ago and landlords were putting in offers of 10 or 20k over asking, so houses were getting snapped up before we could even view them. The only reason we got the house we did is because the owner was specifically refusing to sell to landlords.
Taiwan is not a country. Just about the only thing the PRC and ROC agree upon is that Taiwan is part of China, the core of the dispute is who should control China.
