'Phantasy Star III' was released on the SEGA Mega Drive 36 years ago today in Japan.

Give us this day our daily ibuprofen

A snap of three of the female characters, I think one is Lena, posed with knives and bows

An adorable illustration in chibi-ish style with Wren, Mieu, Rhys, and several others gathered as Rhys counts money from a purse

Illustrations of some of the weapons you'll be able to wield

Another adorable illustration with Wren dragging Rhys and another character along

Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom... Cute Edition!

A selection of the cute cartoons and illustrations of the protags, the adventurous mischief they'll get up to, and their gear. Snapped from the manual of our copy of the Japanese release.

あらいっこする

Good yuri to y'all

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

Cody Rhodes as ‘Guile’ apparently. But it looks really cheap and bad. He has no musculature, is somehow totally unimposing and lacking in aura. He wears a Temu bomber jacket and his hair just looks so bad. The wig is just terrible. The material doesn’t even look like it’s made of hair. He has eyebrows. Eric Andre and the Zangief actor stand behind him. A man I don’t know stands beside him smiling like ‘lol looks like shit’

Listen man. This is unacceptable.

Yuki Izumi Everyone, thank you for gathering here today in spite of your poor mental health.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

What if you field enough really short people to control the other team's mobility

You got volleyball too, deal with it

"We just saved 20% on our power bill by burning down the local data center." Overlaid on a detail from a David Burroughs Mattingly painting showing two humanoid figures in green garb with glowing eyes and mouths under a pink sky, a meteor soaring down.

this is exactly how i feel about my house

Lucina day

Lucina!

Frame #20800 from S04 -E13 - Battle Milk-628207

We would err badly if we put all our resources into technical education. The microchip will not abolish the need for analysis, for insight and for judgment. Schools and universities must equip the young not only with the ability to operate the miraculous new instrumentalities but also with the will to use them for the greater benefit of the human adventure. Education must encompass ends as well as means. That is why the liberal arts must remain the heart of the educational enterprise. The liberal arts remind us that human wisdom long predates the Computer Revolution - that, smart as we think we are, we still have things to learn from Plato and from Confucius, from Augustine and from Machiavelli, from Shakespeare and from Tolstoy. The liberal arts balance past and future, drawing on the experience of our ancestors to meet challenges darkly ahead. Technical education helps us to live with the microchip. The liberal arts help us to live with ourselves. They unmask what Hawthorne called the Unpardonable Sin - self-pride, self-love. They offer the great entry into that most essential of human qualities, self-knowledge. They instruct us, and stimulate us, and provoke us, and chasten us. They remind us that, as Paul said, we are members one of another. The Founding Fathers were steeped in the classics. That is one reason they were able to invent a constitutional democracy that is still vibrant and strong after two centuries dominated by the law of acceleration. As we move into the mysterious twenty-first century, we need to know how to run computers. We need even more to know how to run ourselves.

A union, theoretically...

That being rare is part of the problem. Otherwise some people can be so competent or so good at the social game they make themselves indispensable enough to throw some weight, but that doesn't work for everyone

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)

It is, and I was going to mention the paradox, but I just fired that off at the end of my lunch break lol.

I know this varies by field but it's just frustrating how often management makes bad decisions that are obvious to those with expertise but less say when it comes down to it

I also believe that the experts at a job should be deferred to by those in charge, so the leadership role would have to be willing to do so, and more focused on organizational concerns

It would be difficult but people would have to be deconditioned somehow from the prevailing attitude of not listening to people who make less money than them

I've mulled over this before. It's insane to me that the only way to advance in jobs is taking on a leadership role, that someone who gives orders is seen as more worthy of compensation than someone who isn't good at that, but is better at the actual work

A screenshot from Angelique Special 2 (PlayStation). My character is chatting to Rachel, her rival who is actually quite lovely and positive. The dialogue presents me with the option of being thrilled at her offer of (friendly) competition or not.

Difficulty select but make it diegetic:
How thrilled or otherwise am I at the thought of having a (friendly) rival?
