Same. And some have been great and others have been weak. I think the level of care they've taken for this game, with Nomura and the other OG FF7 team all working together for this makes me less all "doom and gloom" and more just hopeful excitement for the future. But right now everything is speculation.

@DruSM157

For me, though, it's not just the Nomura aspect that has me not anticipating what's to come but also the shortcomings I thought the game had, namely its combat, the padding, the side quest, and the overall design of the areas. I'm not sure I want to play another game in this remake franchise if all I can look forward to is hallways that play new versions of the songs I know broken up by bosses that take 20 minutes when they could take 5.

I mean Zach is alive in ANOTHER alternate reality.

How isn't that rad. It's just a crazy wild ride that no one knows where it's going.

@DruSM157

Because I've been on rides helmed by Nomura before.

FF7R is a sequel so it isn't retconning anything.

@Gentlemanvaultboy

It's not even that, though. Shinra does blow up its own reactor but Avalanche doesn't know that and it's one of the changes that at least works in the narrative of the game. But it is absolutely not a sequel.

spoilers for real click at your own risk

It's an alternate universe where Dementor's from Harry Potter are metaphysical manifestations of the expectations of the fans who want things in the game to be exactly as they remember them to the point where they alter and change events in the game to be more in line with the original universe that is OG FF7 and the game ends with the party breaking free of the shackles of 'fate' by defeating the ghost monsters and then fighting Sephiroth who also wants to defy destiny because he knows the other reality where he loses and he wants to prevent that. Also, Zack is alive.

I started playing WoW again because this quarantine has left me with nothing else to do but subject myself to a skinner box of azerite.

also because the experience boost is lasting until shadowlands pre-patch which for all i know is fucking never

Charismatic Manipulative Free-Spirited Flighty Romantic Libertine Addicting Addictive

Dreams: The second coming of Andy Warhol, the next Gerard Damiano. To be seen as a major player in the waning days of porno chic but also as a director in her own right. An artist with a camera both photograph and motion picture. To be a woman on the other end of things.

Dilemma: The ever present possibility that the 'glory days' are behind her and her past performances as well as her tempestuous personality peg her as someone no one will ever take seriously. A life of living free can only get her so far, and try as she might she's not getting younger.

The following is an excerpt from "The Next Georgina Spelvin? An Interview With the Buxom Brandy Valentine" (Oui Magazine, 1980)

I'm sure this is a boring question so indulge me if you would. What brought you to the world of erotica?

You're right, it is a boring question. But no one really reads your magazine for the interviews anyway so I'll forgive you. Boring questions get boring answers. It was 1976, I'm barely eighteen and 'Misty Beethoven' is leaving an impression on me, what with its blend of humor and sex - I'm sure you've seen it. (I hadn't) No? And you work for Oui? I thought pornography was your business. Anyway, against the better judgment of my oh-so-traditional family I traveled cross coast in the back of vans, cars, buses, whatever I could, only to wind up as one girl in a field of girls. But I had something they didn't. The willingness to bare it all. Turns out there's a market for young, hot, seemingly stupid, immoral blonde girls out there. I'm the next Marilyn Chambers, though not quite so scandalous. Yet.

Are you at all worried that the VCR will make explicit films lose their popularity?

Do you even know anyone who has a VCR? Of course I'm not worried, it's a fad. People will always flock to the theaters to be titillated and stimulated and they'll know Brandy Valentine means they'll get their money's worth and then some. Adult entertainment is chic, it's cool, it's popular, it's the dream of the sixties alive for real. The VCR will be forgotten in three years, but Deep Throat? Behind The Green Door? Fucking...Last Tango in Paris? My own debut, Valentine's Day In Paradise....these are films people will remember forever.

So, no Plan B for you?

Well, I didn't say that. It's always nice to have options.

Do you have any words for organizations like WAP (Women Against Pornography) or those who find your brand of entertainment to be immoral?

Yeah. Fuck 'em. Maybe if they went out and lived a little they'd stop being so uptight. Though I hear some guys prefer things tight.

Where have Original RPs gone!? [Death of Originality]

There is a continuum. I don't even know what Naturo(sp) is

@Penny

Hell neither did the author.

Zing.

Where have Original RPs gone!? [Death of Originality]

<Snipped quote by Penny>

does that imply that there is a harem of harry potter androids or is it a VR harem of various harry potter ladies

@DruSM157

This is RPG, any Harry Potter Harem will be the Marauders and Snape and possibly even Tom Riddle for some reason

Where have Original RPs gone!? [Death of Originality]

and y’all are being ridiculous with the status bar and your assertions.

@Inkarnate

On Roleplayer Guild? Why I never

Where have Original RPs gone!? [Death of Originality]

<Snipped quote by DeadDrop>

I don't think there are as many Lewds as people make out.

@Penny

There aren't. But people have a tendency to post about lewd interest checks in the status bar which is like advertising for your competitor and not even getting paid.
