this reminds me of one of my all time favorite Final Fantasy stories

in 2006 i had gone to SDCC which was a fun time. there was a snakes on a plane experience, brian o'halleran was by the clerks 2 booth dressed as buddy christ, i got my dreamcast signed by diamond dallas page and virgil, great stuff. anyway after the third day we were kinda wiped and went to call it a trip.

me and my cousin are out in the valet pickup by the back entrance of the convention center and i notice final fantasy illustrator Yoshitaka Amano loading a bunch of portfolio cases into the back of his rental. i work up the courage and walk up to him and ask if i could just get a picture with him but he says "sorry, no english, sorry, sorry", not making eye contact, obv doesnt want to be bothered. i walk away kinda disappointed but then he sees my cousin smoking like 10 feet away, walks up to him and in perfect english asks "hey man could i borrow a cigarette?"

what item you are buying at walmart at 2 am really says a lot about where your life is at

It was a box of 120 crayons and no coloring book.

Yeah, tbh it was more about seeing my closest friend at the time (and we still talk to this day) than carrying about the LARP. I was about to say I wish I lived someplace where you had chill coffee shops open at 2am, but then I remembered Waffle House exists which has the reputation of being decidedly not chill, but if the cook is awesome it’s worth it.

Looking at the LC, it appears that resident GBS self-loathing aggro poster "carry on then" has finally copped a long overdue (and extremely gently worded) eleven year time out.

On one hand, you always want to hope someone stops misery spiraling and can learn to hang out here or just try to enjoy live in general better. On the other, someone who has such a toxic relationship with the forums does need some extended/permanent break so this seems better in the long run.

The double edged sword of this is that I will find whatever jerk deleted my Ogre Battle 64 save I’d been working on over the weekends.

that's one game I almost picked up when renting as a kid but I never did and to this day I never played it... I did play Chameleon Twist 1 and 2, however.

Some absolute fucker did this with ff8 for what felt like months back to back and it still winds me up thinking about it. Asking when it was due back and booting up to the shop on my bike at like 7 in the morning only to find out theyd phoned ahead and renewed. Should be a law against it
