Thanks for the tips. I've been using the cloth filter - any tips on cleaning that? I saw something about sticking it in the freezer, not sure I did that right. I'll try switching to the metal filter for now - much less mileage, so shouldn't be a problem.

Ears! And adorable

... I was too excited to look at the box.

Thanks for cleaning up the place.

X is an interesting one for me. It 'reintroduced' me to the series. I grew up on VI, VII, VIII, & IX. X came out in middle school for me and I never picked up a ps2. Fast forward ~20 years, I meet my wife and X is her second favorite which got me to pick the series back up. Aside from sentimental, I enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it's top of the list for me, but it's good game play and story. I think the sphere grid was a cool concept. The temples felt misplaced to me.

Unpopular opinion, but I think the voice acting was good considering it's the first for the franchise and what else was being put out back then.

Finishing Final Fantasy 16 as we speak. Enjoying the story, reminiscent of the stories from the 2D games. Game play feels like hack n slash meets fighting game, which can be repetitive but engaging.

Edit: realized I made it sound like I didn't like. It's far from the classic game play but that's to be expected. I think they nailed the game play for this. It made it feel more cinematic and epic.

Agreed. We played with 6 or 7. Luckily it doesn't have the critical mass issue of being bored while waiting for your turn.

I kind of like the art. I feel like it fit the game - kind of rustic farming-y.

I get the point, but that limits the users' right to select which community they want to join. I feel that is more important than preemptive decentralization of content. Hopefully there is a way to migrate communities from one instance to another. Should an instance get too large that would be a good feature to mitigate risk.

Wrapping up Hollowknight, finished up elden ring before that. Looking to try out FFXVI.

Was wanting to check out the jedi games too.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I just wrapped up loop hero, found myself wishing I was on a handheld with it.

Looking forward to experiencing 'the smell'
