Bruh. You have got to be kidding me. I was 100% convinced this was a scripted "you have to lose" fight. His guards block everything you do and instantly heal. This was right after another long, hard boss fight with no save point in between (at least not that I saw).

PS2 Slim stopped reading FFX again, so I went ahead and replaced the laser after all. Let the record show that it was pretty easy.

They localized Ryukku's name to "Rikku," but the correct translation is "Backpack."

All I know about Galerians Ash is that it reviewed worse than the first game (at least in the magazine I was reading), but look at this boss. I think my mind's made up.

Suruga-ya pickups to combat the existential dread/celebrate my apparent Japanese Language Proficiency. Be aware that tariff horseshit now results in a ~$30 fee, but they were having a mega sale and offering free shipping, so it more or less evens out. Take that, dystopia!

Not to jinx it, but I decided it was dumb for my PS2 laser to be dead, so I tried cleaning it for like a fourth time and now it works again! 🙌

Have you listened to The Smashing Pumpkins' Machina: The Machine of God lately? Shit's way cooler than their earlier stuff imo, and I kinda like their earlier stuff.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

They should keep trying to make Cowboy Bebop games. There are two bad ones, but there are so many better ways they could go about it nowadays, and I feel like it has a pretty huge and evergreen fan base, like Evangelion (but not that big).

Actual post from a US Senator.😐 Open season for anti-Muslim hate in America. No real calls for Cornyn to stop. Not from MAGAs. Not from Dems. Just blatant fearmongering about “Radical Islam.”

Well, so if anyone has a recommended seller for PS2 Slim replacement lasers, I'm in the market. 🙏 Preferably not Amazon.
