I decided 35 years ago that if I lost my arm that I was gonna get a metal one, maybe with a built in ratchet set.

motors have been getting better but having both the max speed and max strength of a human arm at the same time in that small a space with a reasonable cost and power consumption remains difficult afaik

but it would be so much fun to design new arm parts, little gizmos etc

i would absolutely make my arm play doom, have a built in flashlight, battery bank, reactive rgb lights, modular customization, etc. since I have to be wearing a bulky electronic thing anyways…

there’s a guy on youtube who lost most of his hand who’s machined a very incredible purely mechanical replacement (no electronics)

I have recently finished my 4th playthrough of FFX and am now playing Final Fantasy IX for the first time. Blind, so far about 25 hours in and I’m liking it a lot. The more light-hearted, cartoony story style isn’t usually my cup of tea, but the game is charming and despite a lot of junky writing, as is typical for Final Fantasy, I am emotioanlly invested in the future of these characters. The combat is also really nice and I like how well balanced and paced it is. I’d say it’s on the harder side as Final Fantasies go. Still not hard, but just spicy enough for casual play. I’m looking forward to finishing it probably sometime this week.

Oh, and fuck tetra master.

Only one right metal arm.

Rooster326,

Hmm pretty sure they keep rightie so they can get tightie.

Lefty is gone on all of these characters.

Just shloinked kcd2, excited to smith some horseshoes and play the newest dlc

A colleague has a badass metal arm and I can confirm that it’s a great conversation starter.

On the flipside, though, I can only imagine that it wasn’t easy to find a partner…

Alcoholicorn,

What other attachments does the hand have?

yeah, most people are absolute shitwillies if you have even a slight physical limitation regardless if it’s heritable

Ephera,

Yeah, to some degree I get it. The guy does need help with some things and can’t perform certain physical tasks. And it is an entirely different thing to be tolerant to that vs. being married to it.

But the guy is kind-hearted, educated and sporty. He’s missing an arm, but others might be missing a brain or a heart, which I feel are much more detrimental for a partnership.
Unfortunately, though, dating someone with a visible impairment really gets the gossip going, and people are scared of that, so I guess, it’s better to date a dumb ass instead.

Having said all that, the guy is married by now and has a healthy son, so all is good in the end.

Final Fantasy Tactics! I’m going to really commit this time, I’ve been trying to beat this game since I was a kid. I never kept multiple saves and always locked my playthrough by saving in the wrong spot while under leveled.

If you’re playing the Ivalice Chronicles version, I do believe they made it impossible to get soft-locked that way thanks to a sort of escape menu for certain battles. Same thing happened to me back in the day and I beat it recently!

Buffy,

I’m playing the original actually. But this time I’m keeping a save after each battle lol! Any advice to save me some headache?

My best advice is try to give most of your team a way to revive each other. Chemist, White Mage and Monk. That can buy you a lot more time in the tough battles you could be locked into. Monks are especially OP because they can support and have really strong attacks, like shockwave which can cover the map if the elevation allows it.

Good luck!

I've been replaying We Happy Few, almost done with Sally's act. I'm really looking forward to going through the DLCs again.

I’ve fallen hard into Where Winds Meet

RichardDegenne, do gaming w I feel like replaying the Hello Charlotte trilogy but I'm afraid this game will wreck my heart

Only one way to find out! 😬

Not with gore or trauma, but I have realized that I have become more sensitive to emotionally charged media. Sad games or movies didn’t use to move me, but nowadays I feel like I’m brought to tears a lot more easily. Same with happy things like redemption or forgiveness.

catfeeder,

Same! Back in the day I could play Undertale’s genocide route without feeling much but nowadays even just reading through a good ending of a romantic manga makes me all teary.

And Hello Charlotte is one of the most honest pieces of media I’ve experienced. It’s like the author lets you into her inner world for awhile, with all the trauma and pain she’s been through hidden behind a thin veil of metaphors, using gore and pain to tell a story much more terrible than its components.

Your response will be helpful for those who come after.

glimse,

Feels like a ridiculous additional if you’ve played the game
