Ooh, passive aggression. Like regular aggression but quieter and more seemingly civil.

Passive aggression is the sort of thing that, if it goes on for too long, I feel far too tempted to instantly retaliate with actual aggression the moment the offender lets their guard down. -false laughter, followed by a swift clock in the jaw.-

...should I wrap my dad's present? He told me to get it for him so he's going to know exactly what it is.

If I had played the games more recently, I could provide the specific examples from each game. But it's one of the staples of the series. It always follows a pretty specific format though:

  • Party camps out or checks into an inn.
  • The party splits up and you lose all the characters except for the main character (Lloyd in Symphonia, Luke in Abyss, etc.).
  • Optionally, you can talk to any of your party members. Each of them will have a heart-to-heart with the main character if you do so.
  • To progress the plot, you have to speak to a particular person, usually the most significant female character (the Chosen One, the love interest, the Mysterious Waif, etc.), and have a heart-to-heart with them as well. Typically, they will be the one who is farthest from wherever your character starts, so your conversation can feel more intimate and private. I.e., if it's a campfire, they'll be down the path a ways; if it's at an inn, they'll have wandered out to the stables; etc.

I watched a bunch of videos on old Hi-fi tape players and now I want a Hi8 VCR, if only because I think it would be cool to have movies and TV shows on a videotape the size of a compact cassette. tongue

Thinking back on it, the 90s were kind of scary. So many bright colors and lots of loud music, and all of that VHS tape static...

I smell bacon.

I just ate bacon.

I want more bacon.

I just recently unpacked a cookbook called Bacon and Butter.

...I also want butter with my bacon. ;/

Bacon? Salty, sizzly, crispy strips of pork that crunch and crumble in your mouth, washing over your taste buds with their sweet, meaty, savory essence?

What's that.

Hey guys, I'll be doing a podcast today at 3:30 CST (that's in two hours). Syrika is gonna be in it, but I'm wondering if anyone else wants to take part in it. Just PM me if you wanna be a part of it, we'll be doing a Skype voice chat recording for it.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
