Sounds like you can remedy that with a costume for yourself next year... ...had no trick-or-treaters locally. For years now most kids go to local stores/malls/churches to trick-or-treat.

I dunno, I've seen it from a few channels, including those who point out the length of the motorcade was necessary because of Italian anti-COVID rules that limited the occupancy of the vehicles Biden and his team were able to use.

Looks funky. Could be good. 👍

Randi is banished from Potos by stupid superstitious villagers- left to starve to death. After the Trio defeats the villain, he goes back home (why?) Primm leaves home because she doesn't want to go through a forced marriage. After the Trio defeats the villain, she goes back home (why?) Popoi is stuck in the regular world, but doesn't want to go back home. After the Trio defeats the villain, he's stuck in the sprite realm (at least this part made some sense based on the story). No villager apologizes to Randi for trying to kill him and Primm's dad never terminates the marriage arrangement. So why do the characters go back? It made no sense.

Secret of Mana's ending still makes me mad. I'd rate FFVI as the best of the FF. Chrono Trigger was also very good. I liked Breath of Fire 1 & 2 even though they had terrible translations. Capcom, but reased for SNES. Never played it, but Earthbound has a huge following.

Did you know they have some algorithms that can grade 90% of normed essays now? 😄 Its only a matter of time before it gets to the classroom*! *Not really norming is time consuming and costly...

Fixed that for you.

Tactics Ogre makes sense only in light of it being part of the OGRE BATTLE series. Octopath Traveler I'll give you. That said, Triangle Stategy is oddly generic, which I find strange. Although I think the setting is trying to establish the reasoning for the name.

I liked the first two, hated the third and never played whatever came after that. I'll have to keep an eye out on Eiyuden Chronicle.

If you start now, you might even be able to finish the novel before the second part of the movie adaption comes out! 😛

Its a strangely named game, but I love the Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics style games, and the Octopath Traveler-like visuals make for an interesting look.

I literally can't remember the plot for Morrowind. I remember jumping around all the time to raise my jumping skill. Oblvion plot was the Daedra portals unlocking which I have no clue how it ended up since I hated the mechanics to close the holes. Skyrim was the Dragonborn stuff and the civil war, both which were ignorable, really. But that was kind of my point, Bethesda's style of games don't really need strong plots; that's not what brings people back to them. So the continuing desire to make something the player cares about be a person (Dad in FO3, son in FO4) when none of the other games seem to go in that direction seems counterintuitive to me.

I'm not sure if they can't, or if they just don't realize that its not all that important to Fallout to have a railroaded thing you have to care about. Even the original ditched the reason you go to the Wasteland if you follow the story long enough to solve it. Part of why FO:NV works IMO is you choose to care or not about who shot you. Eventually you'll end up in New Vegas.

I've never seen TEAM AMERICA so can't really say. Sounds more like a problem with the plot railroading to set-up ME3 (much like the difference in the companions between ME1 and 2). They probably had feedback from fans that Jacob wasn't a big pick for FemShep players and decided to close off the romance arc.

Its funny, other than some information about Quantrill's Raiders, I think most of what I know of Bleeding Kansas I learned after High School.

As a testing professional, I'll add that while proper and timely testing can be very helpful when given with specific goals, a lot of exams aren't given with a targeted purpose and using test scores to the exclusion of other metrics cuts out the fuller picture of the student academically. As a former Learning Support/Developmental Studies/Remedial Learning professional, I should also point out that according to what I've seen the vast majority of college freshman (at some points up to 50% of the incoming class) don't test at the college level in writing, math and reading. In most cases, they're still going to be picked up by the generic freshman courses and do okay.

TNG Second Chances Riker returns to a planet he left and finds himself. Once again, the story is hurt by the McGuffin (getting the data), because the interest in this is the two Rikers. While there is some fun bits, rather than have Data & Worf speculate as to why the Rikers are having trouble getting along, it'd have been nice to actually have the Rikers deal with it (and not in the yelling at each other when forced to work together to get the McGuffin way). EDIT: OH I forgot, I watched the first two episodes of ST: Lower Decks' first season. "Second Contact" - a nice introduction to the basic tone of the series, a bit goofy, but ok. "Envoys" - Beckett kind of annoyed me in this episode. Still overall funny.
