if FFX were real

 Tidus would have been on drugs with baby mommas for sure.


Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of FFX but the more I think about Zanarkand's description being a machine run utopia the more I have a hard time believing it.

If you haven't played the game to the near end then don't read this. (I'd imagine not many people do but since I actually care about fellow gamers enjoying the experience of the story, I thought a warning was warranted.)


So this game is awesome. Its set in the future of the future. And in the first future, all the work is done by machines and humans get to play all day. The city's most popular form of entertainment is blitzball. The main character is a star player of said sport. 


Now you see quite a few NPCs in Zanarkand but here's where the fantasy plays in.


NONE of them are fat.

There are few small children. 

There are few old people.

Everyone seems healthy and sane. NO one is doing drugs. No one is seen eating a got damn thing!

With all this leisure time, where the kids at? Where the guts at? They ain't got that bomb ass weed?

We currently live in a society that if you don't start saving at 25 and establish a career by 30 you are pretty much doomed to varying levels of poverty and shame. Yet there are morbidly obese people, kids, drug addicts and single parents all over the place.

You mean to tell me in a society where no one has to work or worry about housing that no one is over eating, having irresponsible sex and doing drugs? NO ONE?!

Not even the athletes?

Even the matrix has degenerates.


Now some of you may be thinking...


Final fantasy is just that...A fantasy! (and also that thing that we find out later on)

But if you look a the Zelda series, there are more realistic varieties of people and character development. 

There are fat people, homeless people, drug addicts, and gravity. But there are also talking animals. time travel, and magic weapons just like in final fantasy.

 
And Zelda  is catered more to small children.



Don't misunderstand. I LOVE this game! But the older I get the harder it is to fall into a wonderland that doesn't have some grip on reality. The story is beautiful, the game play is rewarding but in the future there should be more of an effort to make the people more real. But not too real.

We can't deny that boners inspired by animated characters do sell games.

Goon Elimination Techniques

If you love martial arts movies like I do then you already know the formula. ....but I'm not here to talk about that today. I showed up to blow up how those poor unfortunate souls tasked with protecting the bad guy get LAID OUT by the hero. 11. The Warning Yell. -Look, y'all bout to get fucked up. This is the emergency get-yo-ass-out the way broadcast system. This is not a test.   10 . Slappin' ya face! -These goons are so low level that an open hand and a yell is all it takes to get them out of the way. Some might mistake these moves for chops or pressure points. Naw, this be straight up pimpin' without the baby powder.  Yeah I know, she is using a shoe. But that shit is still funny!   The real Slap Attack! 9. Get Outta Here! -What Scorpion would do with these fools, the hero does the opposite. He or She literally shoves, flips, or kicks them out of the way. While finding themselves dazed and confused their brains are no longer required t...

TRYING ME 05/23/25

  There is this dumb, fake ass bitch at my job has been trying me since I was hired.  She's married, overweight and recently a new mother.  When I was hired, she was pregnant and I thought I would only be at the company until she returned from maternity leave.  Before she left, she made sure to act a complete ass towards me whenever possible.  While training me the Ukraine Russia conflict came up (this was back in the early stages). I made a comment (it was just me and her in the room) generally stating that Russia needs to stop flexing because it is affecting the US economy (and it was because we had to impose shipping fees on our customers etc.). This bitch proceeds to raise her voice and scold me about how people are dying and what not.  I let it go. I didn't say anything to her for 2 reasons:  1. The bitch was so pregnant I didn't want to put her into labor.  2. The bitch was so pregnant she obviously was miserable and cognitively impaired....

HOOD RAT ESPIONAGE

 I know I'm wrong.  Calling someone a hood rat is disrespectful, borderline racist (depending on who is using it and context), and just ratchet.  But some bitches out here exhibit the type of behavior that warrants no other mot juste. I have had 2 separate seemingly unrelated women try this shit on me within 6 months.  The first one was a mother of 4 children. Her baby's father (of the 3 smallest) is an alcoholic and, according to her, abusive.  This woman has ghosted me more than once. I should have taken the hint and just left her alone.  After lending her money (which she paid back) and calling the police on her drunk ass baby daddy at her request,  she proceeded to admonish me for my "negative energy." I texted her on the day of her planned birth of the 3rd child of this fool and asked if the "demon" was still at the house. She had previously told me that she didn't want this man at the birth of his own child.  I got a nasty text about negativ...
