Two that really stick out:

1. Final Fantasy X, the ending when Yuna rushes to hug Tidus and falls through him because he's starting to fade.

2. Life is Strange Before the Storm. (Spoilers) The ending with the camera flash. I played the first game. I knew Rachel died. But I lost myself in "this" game where she's alive. Forged a wonderful romance with Chloe and everything. I remember it was like 3AM when I finished the game and when it faded to the shot of Rachel's phone sitting on the table with tons of missed calls and the camera flashing in the background, I just involuntarily blurted out "Oh FUCK YOU!" It was a painful reminder that no matter how happy you make her, she dies in the end.

I made no changes to any of my posts or comments, though I haven't been particularly active on Reddit. It has been un-usable for a long time for me because it seemed like every time I tried to make an original, thoughtful post, it would get auto-deleted by a bot because I didn't include the correct "flair" or some other non-sensical bull, yet others could just spam those same subreddits with memes and nonsense without issue. I would comment occasionally, but that's about it.

It might be a good idea though to go through and check my comments to see if anything looks out of sorts or was edited without my permission.

I used to pretend I was bionic. Convinced the other kids that the visible blue veins in my wrist were wires, and would go above and beyond to exert myself so as to always appear stronger and faster than the other kids. I don't remember how long it went on, but it was for a while. I was like 7 or 8 maybe. I'm not sure how much I actually "believed" it, I think I was probably more like a method actor that took things way too seriously for a while, :-p

If you're a billionaire, you didn't get there through hard work and perseverance, you got there by lying, cheating and manipulating others. There's not one single person in this world who has personally created a billion dollars worth of value. Not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, not Bill Gates or the Waltons, nobody. The wealth they hoard is generated collectively by their ideas, the work and contributions of their employees, taxpayer funded services like roads and railways that facilitate their ability to do business, the products they use that are produced by other people and companies, etc. If you're a billionaire, that means somebody else along the way (or many somebodies) isn't getting their fair share.

Oh wow I didn't know that. Neofetch has been such a mainstay that it never occurred to me to check on its development status. Fastfetch isn't in the Debian repos even for Bookworm, but they've got debs and such for it right there on their page so that's cool, though I'm not particularly fond of installing debs from third parties if I can help it.

They're not a "news" organization. They're corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a "trusted news source" for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.

On one hand, what he's "saying" isn't wrong, at a fundamental level. A corporation should have to follow the same laws as everybody else. That said, it's kinda obvious that Disney has had no major issues arise from their special status in Florida, and the only reason he's going after them isn't because he wants to level the playing field, it's because they had the guts to stand up to him and his hateful policies, so he's trying to be seen as "tough" on big corporations to bolster his chances in the presidential election.

Exactly. If people want this protest to be taken seriously, they shouldn't have pre-emptively announced it would only be 48 hours long. 48 hours is nothing to worry about when you know it's coming. Like you said, they'll just blame the lack of engagement on server issues.
