I know that PS1 era is already quite old, but there's' something about character in story name dropping FF7 in dialogue about retro games that's making my hair grey at alarming speed.

I felt that way when a kid on some stupid reality show my mom likes (Chrisley Knows Best) referred to the PS3 as "old school".

What if I told you FF7 came out 24 years ago today?

The GameCube is almost old enough to buy beer.

I mean if you wanna get technical, it's already old enough. Seeing as it comes from Japan and their legal drinking age is 20.

I didn’t know that. Good point.

Sims 4 Color Wheel, on top of these user-made mods that added A LOT. Of course, usual disclaimer that I am not advertising them and rather, I am thinking of installing them for my game itself, seeing as how I use TS4 now for my characters and RPs.

The sad thing is, this was all done by the users while EA was giving us relatively squat. It's amazing to see human determination and niceness of players like you and I... and sad that EA could not do this. Then again, am I surprised by them anymore?

With the hair colour slider mod I'm going to predict that sometime in 2021 we're going to get this ability added to the base game. I would love for base game clothing sliders as well but I can only hope for so much.

It's strange to think how far the Sims 4 has come from the absolute pile of shite it was at launch, and that the Sims 3 and 2 are still better in many areas.

I just miss create a style honestly.

Yes, 4 still has a lot of issues that I don't see them ever getting around to fixing. It'll get to a point where they will start focusing on 5 instead.

If they ever do 5. After all, why make a new installment when you can drain bank accounts with all the DLC for the current version?

It's in the works.

One of my favorite bits of FF lore is that Sephiroth canonically uses a full bottle of shampoo and conditioner every day to wash his hair.

That doesn't sound very good for the environment.

Oh my God, Yakuza 3 is boring. I don't give a single shit about these Goddamn orphanage kids. And get me out of Okinawa already! This place sucks!

[Cisairse]

Crazy Machines 3 is excellent

Shinra doesn't care about the environment. They're literally, not metaphorically, killing the planet for money.

...Sephiroth's technically an environmentalist, though. I... think.

Out of curiosity, and since this thread's been dead for 13 hours:

What's everyone's most anticipated game? Not of 2021, just in general.

Personally, I can't wait for the sequel to FF7R. I expect there to be a second and third game like how FF7 was originally three discs but if FF7R2 is the finale then I'll still be very happy, especially if they include Safer•Sephiroth. Safer•Sephiroth (or, more accurately, "WayMoreDangerous•Sephiroth" is one of my favorite bosses of all time and one of my favorite character designs in general, and I really hope that Supernova gets its own special cinematic (which it probably will). Hopefully not two minutes long, obviously, but special nonetheless.

Hard to pick, but I’m really looking forward to Mass Effect 4 and or the Trilogy Remaster. Also the new Knights of the Old Republic game if that isn’t just a crack rumor.

And of course there’s Elder Scrolls 6. Maybe I’ll pick it up with my social security money when it finally comes out. If global warming hasn’t created a society where old people are automatically melted into soylent green by then.

Idea: Senator Steven Armstrong for Smash.

Basis:
- Villains have a precedent for being Smash DLC (Sephiroth)
- He wouldn't be another anime swordfighter
- He played college ball, you know
- Could've gone pro if he hadn't joined the navy
- We all know what his forward throw would be
- Who doesn't wanna hear Collective Consciousness while fighting Kirby as Mr. Game and Watch

Discuss.

I’d go for Solidus Snake as a more serious second Metal Gear character in Smash, but I feel like Armstrong could be a skin. Throw in his voice lines and we’re golden.
