Drop the cameras and microphones and replace them with a couple accelerometers and gyros. Paired with your phone's GPS tracking, the glasses can tell where you're looking without actually seeing anything. You can get handy features like a floating 'turn here' sign over your exit while driving with GPS navigation without recording anyone or anything at any time. Better battery life, too.

I feel like there's a 90% chance that specific boss fight exists in a JRPG already, and a 75% chance it was published by Square Enix.

Falconry glove. Basically a big leather glove so that a bird of prey can sit on your hand without destroying your hand.

I'm guessing a translation is something like, "We have absolutely no idea how we might argue this is okay in defiance of literally every court decision on this in history, so we're just going to hope they don't escalate."

Why is he smiling?! What does he know?!?!

I see you never watched Farscape and its BDSM space muppets.

On Ubuntu's old Unity DE that top panel housed app menus and merged with maximized windows. And you could tap a button to search those menus. I wish they would reimplement those features.

Well, sometimes they denote different people. They also sometimes represent recurring characters.

Beret Guy, Black Hat, and Danish are the same character each time.

At the other end of the spectrum, Ponytail and White Hat are just whoever the comic needs at the time. Sometimes they show signs they're a recurring character, but usually probably just a one-off.

In the middle of the spectrum are Cueball and Megan. These are the generic male and female designs and the most frequently seen. They're usually probably just one-offs, but both have two distinct recurring roles as well. The first is Cueball as an unnamed male character and Megan as Megan, with the two of them being a couple. The second is Cueball as the comic's author and Megan as his wife, with this being most apparent in the cancer strips.

I would go with an old money family rather than yakuza. The yakuza, and organized crime families in general, like to keep their community help programs out in the open so the locals don't feel inclined to help the police against them. For example, the yakuza have a history of disaster relief and Al Capone ran a soup kitchen.

I liked the plot, but the gameplay was in desperate need of an overhaul.

Also, if you're trying to explore and finish up side quests on disc 3, but you accidentally clip Lunatic Pandora on the world map, it puts you into a linear sequence that runs all the way through to the end of disc 4 and the game with no 'press X to enter this location' prompt or warning that this is a point of no return.

But I did really like the story. If anyone has a mod suggestion for something that makes the junction system not be absurdly broken I'd be interested.

Li'l buddy's got a twelvehead. And I love it.

Ferengi were modeled on rodents, so it's kind of the other way around.

Edit: I do know bats aren't actually rodents, but they do tend to get lumped together and have similar head shapes.

 

After having printed the previous version of my poster and discovering that the overall darkness made it difficult to see when framed (light reflects off the glass or plastic and the glare kills it) I have done a bunch of post processing in the hopes that it will turn out better.

 

Inspired by this recent thread.
