Comfy is such a good character, he's got one of the best character arcs in any FF game.

I hope when they name Quina they at least mention the bidwar. I'd like Punchy to get a random shoutout.

Haha that’s great people have been questioning you about it.

I still have faith someone will snipe it right before they need to enter the name. I wish I had the money to do it myself

I love watching these super long RPGs once an event, but I hugely admire the runners of them, their dedication to playing these super long games as much as possible and sitting through the cutscenes probably hundreds of times. I can’t even fathom being that dedicated to games like this, I think it’s amazing.

So I'm getting the sense Hob is a good speed game because it's busted as gently caress and can't keep itself together even through duct tape and wishes.

I can barely play most JRPGs once, unless they're Pokemon, which doesn't count.

Woo some good news. I need to go in tomorrow for a document and security checking session tomorrow for the temp work next week. No guarantee I’ll get the work even if I pass all the checks but if I do that’s awesome and some extra money. Still got a shot at the end of August too if next week doesn’t pan out. Good times :dance:

(Going to miss all the speedruns tomorrow though, rip)

I don't think any of us (I technically know how to run the game) actually remember just how much we're skipping. There is a part where you jump to a ledge you shouldn't be able to reach early on to get to the warp cave and honestly if I am remembering that segment of the game properly that is at least 40 minutes from that one jump.

Thanks :3: Sadly the spots are very limited in this temp work so I might not get it just due to the number of people applying, or they might just cancel it (it’s all to do with how busy they expect to be which can change daily really).
