  • Going to copy my post over from the original for anyone wondering why because the description does nothing to explain:

    I watched a few minutes of it and finally got to it… If I got it right, the guy suing them wanted to make a mod with guns. Mojang said no and got it shut down. He’s suing because he believes a company shouldn’t have any say over how users might modify their games.





  • I don’t feel like the story telling was as good in Evermore. Secret of Mana grabbed me a lot more with it’s characters and it’s difficulty, and I always loved the plot despite some pretty obvious flaws. The music is still one of the best ever soundtracks too.

    I think Evermore also got completely overshadowed by Chrono Trigger being released just 2 months before in the US.










  • “If a 4,000-pound SUV runs a red light, they get a ticket and you pay it online. You’re done with it in a matter of minutes. But if a 60-pound bicycle runs a red light, then they can get a criminal summons…” A 60lb bicycle with a 120-190lb adult meat crayon riding it. That’s 250lbs of meat and metal getting slammed by a 4000lb SUV that had the green.

    “You stop and double park while you’re doing DoorDash or Uber, and you get a ticket for double parking, and there is no consideration for a working man who’s trying to do his living,”

    Peak NYC… “Yeah, uh, I broke a well known and established law, but I’m working here! Gimme a break!”

    “It’s because the design and the infrastructure is not there to protect the people who are the most vulnerable…”

    Pedestrian and traffic laws exist as a deterrent to keep people from doing stupid and dangerous things. Bike lanes and greenways exist. That’s the infrastructure! You’re a pedestrian breaking a law that’s been implemented because it makes something unsafe for everyone. Maybe don’t do the thing that makes things unsafe!?
