FF3 on the NES had summoning too

They were granted the patent in the US in this case.

Fixed, my most sincere apology.

I have never hired anyone attractive, but I did almost hire one woman that was quite attractive for my dev team and I ended up hearing a bunch of grumbling from some of the guys (all married) for choosing someone that was more qualified.

There was a sci-fi book called Parable of the Sower in the early 90s that had it as the slogan of a shitty fascist president. It’s worth a read and will feel especially creepy right now.

As a former gifted student, this kinda tracks because I always felt that half of the class were “weirdos” (now known as neurodivergent) and the other half were repressed “weirdos”. Not sure about everyone being bi, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was far more likely than typical students.

Not if the T. rex (see, I did it right!) countered in time with a hadouken,

They must be really special. I bet the next thing they’ll do with this power is create a new religion in Utah.

Perfect for Florida!

IRC is still awesome and I am have come back to it every time whatever new platform we try becomes shitty. I think I’ll just stay put this time.

We are a sick people.

The next thing you’ll be telling us that we can’t arbitrarily drop anvils on people.

I’m OK with that. I don’t need my potatoes demanding that I kneel before Zod.

Starting fights today are we?

Although I don’t hate my PS5 (it’s the only console i still use), I do think the launch PS3 was peak Playstation. Yeah, it did have a “Homer car” vibe to it by including everything and the kitchen sink, but it was truly amazing.

Yeah, the devil is in the details. Is there a cooldown? Are there quantity limitations? Location could be interesting because you could put ten tons of gravel a mile high and drop it. You could have Nasa pay you to quickly assemble a compacted gravel mini-moon at a lagrange point for a space dock.

It does raise the question on if this could be useful in some sort of hand to hand combat situation. What happens if I my fist is 6" away from your face and I teleport 7" forward? I guess the same question applies to walls. If I can just teleport through matter, then it’s usefulness is suddenly quite high.

I would be the Gravel King. You need gravel, you come to me. I would be a benevolent king though. I would grant gravel to those that need it.

Nice to see posts from lobsters making it over here

haha that really brings me back.
