Yesterday my dog, Fischer, died suddenly and unexpectedly. I’m still in shock, blindsided by it all. He was as central a member of my family as any person. I’d like to tell you his story, briefly. 8 years ago, my 12-year old dog, Bandit, died after a long battle with kidney disease. A week later on a fishing trip, my brother encountered an abandoned, starving dog that swam out to his boat. When no owner could be found, I reluctantly took the dog in, and named him Fischer. I’m so glad I did. Along with his older sister, Daisy, he was my pandemic dog, my hiking buddy, and my left armrest while watching tv or gaming. He loved pawing at Red XIII (which we jokingly called him, the counterpart to my other dog, a Torgal lookalike), and he loved play fighting me while I tried to make my bed after he would crawl in it during the night. He loved playing fetch, and especially curling up against me for safety during storms. He was 90 pounds of rambunctious devotion. And God he loved me. We unknowingly spent his final morning on a hike. He chased and ran and played like usual. It was a perfect last memory with him, doing what we loved doing together most. He was “a fine hound,” and one of my favorite blessings. We’re going to miss him so much, but are so thankful for his life. That’s the thing about gratitude. It commingles with grief in such a way that both can breathe. And in that way, I guess I can breathe, too. At least, that’s what I’m trying to practice. Every gasp of sadness is met with an exhale of gratitude. I know many of you loved seeing him on stream. The couch behind me may have a Red XIII-sized hole now, but I’ll always cherish the memories of us in that room. Maybe we’ll do a Fischer stream and talk about grief soon, but I’ll need a minute. Today though, I want to thank you all for loving him, and me, so well. Thanks, everyone, for your prayers and support as I breathe through this.

Ever since Remake, I’ve had this idea that eventually characters who exist in other “worlds” across the lifestream — or a life beyond death, even — might find a way to interact with those in the main world. I wonder if we will get a battle system where characters like Zack and Aerith or even Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie might be able to contribute. Somewhat similar to how Aerith’s “presence” bolstered Zack in the final battle and each party handled a different iteration of Sephiroth. Think about it: a battle for the planet across every world and possibility. After all, an omnitemporal Sephiroth demands and omnitemporal solution. Personally, I think it’d be incredible.

After the show, Sami said, “it’s awesome to have The Rock. We’re lucky to have him. But you know, The Rock is lucky to have the WWE, too. Because we are living in the best time with the best superstars in the WWE.” And then he said this. #wwe #SmackDown

Not to exhaust the point but this clip also really emphasized the same point. While Tifa does pose the biggest threat to Sephiroth’s plans, due to what she means for Cloud’s salvation, everyone’s bonds lend some aid to the effort. Thus severing Cloud from each of them is the key.

I NEVER realized the music of FF7 was doing this. Today, we break down several iconic tracks to see how Nobuo Uematsu literally tells the FF7 story through sound — with Music Theory Professor, Rich Anatone is cataloguing Final Fantasy themes!

The Bonds of Friendship brutal challenge has convinced me this is the best battle system this series has ever had. It has the strategy and minnmaxxing of the old games with fast paced urgency of new playstyles. FF needs to adopt this basic system for all future entries. #ff7r

I haven’t read Dear Destiny yet, but I’m really interested in the details of connection stalling, even curing, degradation. What was implied is being made crystal clear. And it recontextualizes scenes like this one. Cloud— having spiraled due to disconnection, either by circumstance or his own making — is elevated again by his bonds. Love it.

This is so cool. I found footage of the whole ride! Vincent really steals the show. I’d definitely stand in line for a FF7 themed ride like this. Credit: FaisalFiaz3349
