avaa8's review of Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers | Backloggd
Shadowbringers paints a profound picture of grief and the human condition. In the face of endless despair, how do you handle it? Do you seek community or faith? Resign yourself to that misery, fill in the gaps with alcohol or solitude? What about embracing it, accepting that there is no tomorrow ...

I hold a very specific skepticism for ppl who dig up shit from more than a decade ago and haven't bothered to like, talk to the person who was actually hurt. Like do you actually care about whether this is helpful or do you just see this as "ammo" against someone you dislike

ok another thing about ved recure, alongside the extremely robust memory protection it also has a binarized save file that near completely rewrites itself whenever you do basically anything be it entering a menu or doing a transaction. imagine if they put this much effort into the rest of the game

ava @avaa.dev · 25/09/2026
might be one of the worst games ive played in a while, nothing works well and there's literally zero variety. also for some fucking reason cheat engine protection so you cant skip out on the stupid grind thats boring because like i said ZERO VARIETY

the most depressing person to argue with about AI is the doomer types who're like "AI is bad and ruining everything but also it's never going away so there's no point in getting upset when ppl use it". Like.... you have pre-emptively chosen to be a person who will not fight for a better world

jesus christ.
"Word recognition is a preoccupation," he said. "I don't teach word recognition. I teach people to make sense of language. And learning the words is incidental to that."

He brought up the example of a child who comes to the word "horse" and says "pony" instead. His argument is that a child will still understand the meaning of the story because horse and pony are the same concept.

I pressed him on this. First of all, a pony isn't the same thing as a horse. Second, don't you want to make sure that when a child is learning to read, he understands that /p/ /o/ /n/ /y/ says "pony"? And different letters say "horse"?

He dismissed my question.

"The purpose is not to learn words," he said. "The purpose is to make sense." Goodman rejected the idea that you can make a distinction between skilled readers and unskilled readers; he doesn't like the value judgment that implies. He said dyslexia does not exist — despite lots of evidence that it does.52 And he said the three-cueing theory is based on years of observational research. In his view, three cueing is perfectly valid, drawn from a different kind of evidence than what scientists collect in their labs.

"My science is different," Goodman said.

People just use soul when they have no actual explanation over preferring one thing over another. They use soul as an ineffable quality so their statement cannot be countered

greater emphasis on gathering, crafting, and preparation. whetstones were limited, you could only track the monster by hitting it with a paintball, and you can't change your loadout or restock items during a hunt. combat was also simpler and slower

this takes an incredible amount of character, not just to give it up, but to admit all of this. This guy has more guts than any AI fuck by a mile, and maybe more than us too. People who've managed to escape AI usage are invaluable towards convincing others to do the same.
