Y'know what, I'll try my hand at this.
Day 1: FF13, first I tried. 2 nonconsecutive hours, didn't vibe with it at all.
First I finished? FF1, Famicom. Simple, but the customizable party was fun and I adored the high-tech twist with the Flying Fortress, and the time loop. Great OST, too, of course.

30 day challenge day 1.
First Final Fantasy-
Final Fantasy 1990
I had previously played Dragon Warrior (DQ 1 localized) and I preferred seeing the sprites fight in FF and was hooked.
I was young but loved the grind, didn’t synthesize the story at all.

They're calling HRT a "sex-rejecting procedure" now. I guess that means my wife gives me HRT every night!

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

Any time a company has to "make a statement", it means they're sweating. Cook them
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)"
I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.
It's not actually about the kids.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

After 22 years as a letterer, I now only have enough regular lettering work to keep me busy for 2 days per week. So if you’re staffing a new project, please keep me in mind as your letterer! Or request me via your editor! Recent clients include DC, Marvel, BOOM, Dark Horse, 2000AD, etc.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users
As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.
