Source? I can see people violating their visa conditions but, AFAIK, there are very few cases in which a company can legally stop you from working a side hustle or fire you for one. The one exception to that is conflict of interest/non-compete.
Some companies can have social media policies that would make youtube a bit more annoying, but not impossible.


I’m a Canadian citizen not living in Canada who gets blinded by stupid lights just the same, but apparently they aren’t interested in my opinion.


I moved to Japan a decade ago and there are not time changes (though I’d argue that, at least for eastern Japan, we’re in the wrong timezone). It is much easier on my body not making that change twice a year. I have a really sensitive sleep schedule so this is very important to me.


Yet people have zero self control and keep giving them money.
Basically. The R sound isn’t the same as English’s R so it’s a bit misleading in romaji, but basically yes.
Link to the Past was so cool when it came out and such an upgrade. It’s still my favorite zelda game (and it has a randomizer and great community!). I didn’t play OOT until sometime in my 20s and hated how clunky it was; I still prefer the non-3d zeldas.


Move there where you belong, then.


Yeah, I really just wish it wasn’t in games since it’s almost always done poorly yet also the only way to get some backstory which feels forced and dumb.


The real reason is probably more that I was not a fan of early 3d stuff in general. The camera was kinda crap, the controls didn’t feel great when walking around, etc. Not just an FF thing, either; this was for games as a whole except for racing games. I hated Starfox as well (coming from the Amiga world, some stuff felt like going backwards).
Being able to suplex a train, though, was a nice bonus.


I personally was not interested in them at all. I was much more a fan of 6 than 7. As such, no idea on the quality.


I’d be fine with Square Enix going away. In my opinion, they got greedy and way too full of themselves. Nintendo as well, for that matter.


Don’t open this one. Close the Canadian side of the ambassador bridge. Fuck that guy


There were unpatched issues in the first one (it’s been so long now I don’t remember them all but there was one in a DLC where you’re supposed to be able to give an item to a robot NPC but it was just broken in addition to several others).
Looking at the price and thinking of that, it was a “pass until decent sale” for me.
I do like the setting generally (at least based on the first one). It might be neat to have someone else take over the IP and go somewhere with it.


Cons are 36%, right? Colourblind people problems.


Fuck Pitchford and Take2 – sell the IP to someone who will do something cool and bring back Eddings.


We don’t, really. I certainly grew up without them. It did both good and bad things. It did centralize and simplify some things, but that came at a cost of freedom for more power users. It was great for sorting out dependencies at a time games were still often bad at doing that cleanly on their own for less-technical people. I think it did good things for community, though, particularly for those of us who did not use any modern consoles that had various party/SNS-like features baked in.


Indeed. It’s terrible and it’s also the reason we don’t visit family in the US (my wife is not a US citizen and barely speaks English). I do not support it, I voted against the current administration, and I have removed as many US companies as possible from my life.


I plan to renounce but I need to be able to help my parents if they need it. Family comes first here. I do not have to pay taxes, just file them; especially with the weak Japanese yen, I don’t make enough to need to pay anything.
5000 yen is like $43.50 CAD. I think you have an extra zero
