@AvatarTrev @Sbeezy273 @ProdigyxCD Oh yeah, KHIII’s soundtrack is amazing. I’m still upset so little of it was in MelMem.

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@AvatarTrev @Sbeezy273 @ProdigyxCD (I know this is kind of old, I mostly stopped using Twitter) I've actually 100% KHIII since making this Tweet, including both a Crit and APC run. The secret bosses were okay, but none of them hold a candle to Lingering Will.

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@JordanBKelly @BrimstoneDevs There seem to be a lot of new games still coming out on the One, though. Odd.
I'll take your word for it, though. That's pretty lame if true.

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@BerserkBoyGame I’ve never found damage numbers to be more fun, but I have always liked having them for the sake of strategy!

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@Jiikae Agreed. Reminds me of one of my biggest complaints with KHIII, where you could just be super aggressive all the time with no consequence.
When I see a clip with some super long flashy combo, I always by default assume that game is the same.

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@WolfgangBirdie Haha, no, no, I don’t hate fun. I just hate the “Kirby is Void” theory! :p

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@NinaaCakez @PrinceGwydion @traxstarrr I’ve pretty much given up hope at this point. Things have only been consistently getting worse as time goes on. :(

I do appreciate the thought, though, thank you.

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@KennyWuKanYuen @traxstarrr @xitfirst I don’t think ending it is the right answer, to be clear, but I definitely wouldn’t say it’s selfish. When you’re going through that much pain every single day, and when no one’s willing to help you get through it, calling it selfish is just a jerk move.

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@PrinceGwydion @traxstarrr I’ve had someone push me to open up about my mental struggles before, and I did exactly that, and then as soon as they realized “wow, helping him with this will take actual work”, they instead cut me out of their life making all those issues even worse. :(

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@traxstarrr @xitfirst They aren’t any more selfish than the loved ones in question, who would rather the person continue suffering every single day, usually without putting in the time or effort to help make their lives better.

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@traxstarrr And non-coincidentally, every time I see someone push the message of “love yourself” they always have good relationships with their family, and a bunch of friends.

You could make the argument loving themselves led to these things, but from my experience it’s the other way around

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@traxstarrr “Self love” in its truest state doesn’t exist. Our perception of who we are is ALWAYS shaped by those around us. If you have a wide support network of friends & family you’re much more likely to “love yourself” than if folk treat you like garbage. (cont.)

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@DawnMBennettVA Jungle Book & Beauty and the Beast were pretty good.

Neither was good *because* it was live action, though. They were good for the writing.

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@thegamersjoint Honestly, that part doesn’t bother me much.

The thing that bothers me is FFXIV Mobile is apparently gacha free, but Missing Link, as far as I know, is still going to be a gacha game.

Sad face. :(

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@ConstanceGame I usually enjoy them. It does heavily depend on the puzzle, though!

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@dallin1016 I didn’t know exactly what happened, but I did know the game doesn’t let you die here. It tells you explicitly “past this point if your HP hits zero you die” a little bit later, which implies before then you can’t. :p

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@AuthorJFuller I can count the number of not-terrible (not good days mind you, just not-terrible ones) days I’ve had this entire year on one hand, and it’s only getting worse with time! :D

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@StoniAstley I would like to, but I have social anxiety that would probably get the better of me! :D

[Michael Tillotson @FirstAifos]

@NeoNightly @EltaninMc @ArtemaSeeker I can’t say I agree. When I played through the game on Crit, I purposefully triggered several RCs, and it was very consistent. They always trigger under the same circumstances, like a certain attack, so once you know what to look for, you can pull them off reliably every time.
