I've played all the Yakuza games and while I didn't mind the frantic combat, Like a Dragon is just so much more approachable for me with its turn-based combat.

It's funny, Final Fantasy is getting more like classic Yakuza in its combat and Like a Dragon more like classic Final Fantasy. It actually gives me hope we'll one day see a return to form for FF as Like a Dragon proves you can do turn-based in a very engaging way.

However, Yakuza had its charm and mini-games to push me through FFXVI... not so much.

'A ton of steel is heavier than a ton of feathers'... Oh wait, that's Limmy.

Once you're finished up with it, I really recommend Monster Train. Slay the Spire is great, but I never finished it 100%. Monster Train I still go back to randomly even after putting 100+ hours into it. The game actively encourages you to try and break it, finding the right combination of cards and artifacts to truly be OP. I think it would even be impossible to beat most of the difficulties if you don't lean into that.

Haha yeah, that's the episode I was thinking of! One of my favourites too.

I agree with you... But if RTD decides to continue it into New New Who then I imagine folks will be quite lost. I have a feeling he might just forget about it or have a throw away line from an episode where someone says 'oh I made that up to mess you... Anywayyy'

Edit: this was supposed to be a response to another comment. Seems like Wefwef doesn't do threaded comments that well yet!

What's funny about the LLM stuff is Reddit must know where those API calls are coming from. This is RiF's calls. This is Apollo's. They could have ring fenced every app easily. They could have then introduced a 'If you're not in the Genuine API list, you have to resubmit your application or you pay at this higher tier'.

I think most would not have cared if OpenAPI would have faced these costs. They'd likely have cheered Reddit on for taking a chunk back from Microsoft.

Accessibility apps could have been pre-approved too. Instead, they tried to have their cake and eat it and have all the ingredients left over at the end. They could be sitting high with a new revenue stream for high-call low-community impact API calls. But, tried to eat all of that cake at the same time.

This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg's terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.

I went with explicitly mentioning my right to erasure under GDPR and how you can absolutely identify me via my account. Really interested if they undelete as I'll be complaining to the ICO.

Many have said some brilliant episodes here but I have a massive soft spot for Hartnell's Planet of the Giants. Today the concept of being shrunk down isn't all that novel and we've seen it a bunch of times, but they do some quite clever things with the episode and there is some really great framing shots.

For its time, I think it shows the ingenuity of the teams that were making the show. Even to this day, it is rare you find an episode that plays with the 'Space' part of TARDIS like this one did.

I'd love to see a modern take on this one.

I have an idea for a show I'd call 'Great and Bountiful' which would chart humanity's first major steps with alien species that don't result in the doctor having to interceed.

While I love Star Trek as an aspiration, I'd actually offer up Stargate as an example of 'humanity gaining access to alien tech and slowly improving'. We know from the lore there is a mass migration to the stars eventually, but humanity in those early years would be great.

One of my favourite shows RTD has done is Years and Years, while I would want a Who show to be that cynical, it would certainly be an interesting take on things to strike that storytelling format.
