Here’s something that I would like to make sure people are aware of.

The NA/EU physical versions of the above game on Switch have only X on the cartridge and X-2 is a download code that gets tied to your account.

That would be… scummy, but whatever, right? Nothing we haven’t seen before on the Switch…

Except for the fact that the physical download code version of X-2 REQUIRES THE GAME CARD TO PLAY. If you were to sell that game cartridge, neither you–nor the person you sell the cartridge to–get to keep X-2. Whatsoever.

So you’re selling at a loss regardless of what you do, and that cartridge becomes effectively an incomplete product, forever. No other game that’s half digital on the Switch has done this.

Don’t support this ridiculously anti-consumer stuff. The Southeast Asian and Japanese physical versions have BOTH games on the cartridge, no half-digital BS, you can lend it to a friend and they get to play both the games, etc… and they have English language support if you set your console to English.

The Nintendo Switch is region-free, so you can buy the former SEA physical copy here on Play-Asia. https://www.play-asia.com/final-fantasy-x-x-2-hd-remaster-multi-language/13/70ci2j

Or alternatively, buy the Japan version from Amazon JP.

Last week I saw someone recommend rev.com as a way to make money from home by transcribing. Skeptical, I had a look to see if they were legit, and they seemed to be, so I signed up.

There's a small grammar and English quiz, and then a transcription test, to apply. If successful, you can see client transcription jobs and their pay-per-minute, choose whichever jobs you like, work as much/little as you want.

I'm Dave, a generally friendly introvert, he/him pronouns. I'm a homemaker in the SF bay area. I run various RPGs in person and online (Burning Wheel and Powered by the Apocalypse games, primarily). I love to cook, and try to bake (mainly sourdough breads, I don't have much of a sweet tooth). I make mead and beer. I try to garden. I keep freshwater nano fish. I play lots of fetch with my dog. I also discuss and promote leftist politics and anti-capitalism.

Hi.

I do hope nobody's scrolling through their timeline thinking "Good grief not another flower photo" but I don't think I can apologize. They sure make *me* feel better and I hope they're nice for you too.

@dansup i think this is mostly good. It may confuse new users that are expecting to see likes and such but...

A social media is better if it incentivizes actual communication rather than posting for likes.

Unboxing and first play of Star Wars Jedi challenges. Had to cut it short when my phone overheated.

The instructions come from a holocron and a character simply known as the Archivist. Those that know my Star Wars roleplay character in second life will understand why I am so jazzed about this.
