It's kind of a limited time thing.

@Tyranexx For the record, if you prefer dubs, Funimation has a lot of them, and Crunchyroll has started offering them too. Funimation's site has a decent few anime that CR doesn't but I really prefer CR's website and CR still has a better selection overall. But if you prefer dubs, you'd probably be better off with Funimation.

@NotTelevision Not really around here. St Patrick’s really kicks off down in Savannah, though.

@NEStalgia trains, huh? I knew a train used to go by house, no tracks, but you can still see some leveled areas where the track was, but recently i found out it was Reading Railroad. Like we know from Monopoly. Theres Also this real old group of head stones a few houses over, when a train crashed there in the 1800s?, they didn't have the means to transport the fatalities, so they made a little grave yard. It's kind of cool.

@HobbitGamer That’s cool. Bet those SCAD students get really into it.

@NintendoByNature It’s good because it functions as both dessert and a sweet bread with the morning coffee. I’m not a big cake guy, but I love a good cinnamon roll or brioche. King cake is the similar to those.

@NotTelevision Oh yeah, it’s a whole big thing. River Street gets shut to vehicles, there’s crawls everywhere, and they turn some big fountains green. Never been, but I’ve seen coverage and had some friends go.

Oh wow I can’t believe it took Square Enix 8 years to add the intro movie and auto battle to the iPad version of Final Fantasy 3.

Nice surprise though, you never expect a dev to further update an old game beyond the required OS compatibility updates.

Now, for the next update in five years, I’d like controller support and the famicom soundtrack plz.

@Tyranexx - I’ve done a lot of customer service, and even when that hasn’t been my job title; most of my jobs have had some sort of that element. I can deal with all sorts of pains in the rear as long as it’s a profitable pain. It’s possible for the pain and drama to outweigh the profit though, and at that point, it’s kind of fun to fire a pain in the rear customer. Sometimes they even end up back after being humbled by other options who tolerate far less.

@NintendoByNature - I played DMC3 on PS2 and enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a while ago, but I remember thinking it was the most fluid hack and blast em up I had experienced up to that time. I think I played all three of the DMC games on PS2 and liked them all.

@NotTelevision - I’m not a cake guy either, though I love pie. I can destroy a sweet bread though. It’s the perfect breakfast. One of my life goals is beignets in NO. You still on lockdown?

@bimmy-lee it's been really fun, until mission 18 and 19. The ones where you replay all the bosses and that big blob that im currently struggling with atm. I just can't beat him after 3 hours of trying 😠

@NintendoByNature - Yeah, I remember all three of them being fun and somewhat easy until they got tough around the 75% mark. They were all rentals, and I can’t remember if I completed all of them. I do remember that part in three, but I can’t remember if I got past it. I probably rage quit it, and put in NBA Street Vol 2, Viewtiful Joe, or San Andreas.

@HobbitGamer That’s sounds like a party. I’ll ask my cousin about it next time. He’s a SCAD grad and I’m sure he participated.

I had an interesting experience with a group of SCAD students who crashed at my apartment in college. I gave them my sofa, some air mattresses, and my bed while I slept at my girlfriend’s place. When I came back everything seemed normal, but noticed some bite marks after I slept. I lifted up my mattress and sofa, noticed there were bed bugs everywhere. They must have migrated with them all the way from Georgia. It was an ordeal to say the least and left me paranoid about those buggers for at least 2 months.

What’s college without a bed big story though right? 😅

Nice people though. When I told them I tried not to sound too stressed out.

@bimmy-lee Unfortunately things haven’t got any better with the coronavirus. I was optimistic at first thinking it was just going to pass, but that is definitely not the case. At least everyone seems to be on alert about it. It is so easily spread though, and symptoms lie dormant for a long period of time. So yeah I’m laying low until... I don’t know... May or June. Sucks but I have a lot of books I haven’t read and some RPGs to clear in the time being. There are certainly worse predicaments.

I guess I’m a big cliche when it comes to being a NO guy. I used to make beignets at a place in high school and college. It was pretty crappy part time job, but it paid my way and I had a ton of weird encounters at that job. There were a lot of dudes who did prison sentences and Hondurans who were still in the process of applying for citizenship (if at all). That’s how my smoking habit first began, by working at that place and every employee doing it.

It’s a shame it went out of business though. It was was the best place to get beignets. Cafe Du Monde is good too and I’ll go there when I return home.

I’m a pie and bread guy too. The texture of cake is too soft for me. I like a crust and structure to sweet foods. Even with ice cream, I’ll go with the pistachio almond because of that crunch.

@bimmy-lee yea that's my ONLY gripe with the dmc games I've played thus far. Both of them we're fairly easy, and then out of nowhere you run into these immovable forces. And it really doesn't make sense considering the rest of the game is simple enough. Just bugs me when im right on the verge of completing a game and im stuck at the very end.

@Heavyarms55 Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check out Funimation I think. I haven't ruled out subs moving forward, but at least for nostalgia purposes there are some dubs I prefer overall. Digimon just isn't the same without the voices I grew to know and love. I've also heard some dubs like My Hero Academia are pretty spot-on too. That's one that's towards the top of my list; I'm reading the manga on and off and really enjoy it.

@bimmy-lee Oh boy, we had a couple of pain in the rear website customers who were needy as heck come back to us at my old job. They learned that some of those out of state professionals and free website builders aren't always the way to go.

@NotTelevision I have thankfully never dealt with bedbugs, but they're so easily spread that I'm paranoid about picking them up when I'm traveling. I don't check hotel rooms and theater seating AS thoroughly now, but I definitely still do a few spot checks.

My worst experiences with biting insects belong to both ants and fleas.

Trying to listen to all of Ryuichi Sakamoto's discography is quite the challenge, considering it spans more than 40 years and countlless albums, haha

@NotTelevision - Yeah, I’m sure that situation hasn’t improved, but gotten worse. It’s scary to think about it. I don’t think we (my wife and I) could even afford to be locked down like that for very long. Seems like there would be looting and Wild West law here in the US within a few days. Best of luck with it friend. It doesn’t sound half bad being forced to take time off and work through the media backlog, but I imagine it actually gets old quick.

I guess I’m talking to the right person about beignets then. Sounds like a cool place you worked. I liked the gang in the kitchen when I did some food service in college. They taught me some interesting things. It seems like kitchen folk are always an eclectic, interesting bunch.

@NintendoByNature - That’s really frustrating. I always hope for a gradual ascent in difficulty that coincides with powering up the character and deeper understanding of the combat. I really hate when a game is sudden, huge difficulty spike. It can ruin the whole experience for me.

@Tyranexx - Yep, they’re usually much more appreciative of your efforts after going away and dealing with someone else who just doesn’t care as much. I saw this quite a bit in printing and digital publishing. When the presses or the staff are maxed out, and sales is still bringing more clients; you can start to think about which clients mess up the process by being over the top needy, supplying junky files, impossible to please, etc. A smooth job is usually the most profitable.

@Tyranexx Nostalgia is a strong factor. Anything I watched as a kid in English is weird to go back and watch in Japanese.

All the final fantasy games are on sale for 50% off in steam, in case anyone is interested.

Final Fantasy is a collective delusion caused by alien brainwashing. There are no such games.

@bimmy-lee yep, no reason for it really. Just full blown difficulty spikes outta nowhere like a Randy Orton RKO

But i play Final Fantasy III NDS, FF VIII Switch, FF IX PS1, FF X/X-2 HD Switch, FF XII TZA Switch, FF XIII PS3. 🤨
