Knights Field series. I never could get into them back in the day, but I've been on a retro kick with my Anbernic and got sucked into them. Ended up putting 20 hours so far into the English translation of the first Japanese KF.
Also, Vagrant Story. Pretty much same scenario where I rented it back in the day and bounced off the combat for not making any sense to me. Tried it recently and really dig it. The combat system is really quite clever once you understand it.
I feel that. It is still the game I have logged the most time with, which considering I've got about 1,300 hours in Elite Dangerous is kinda scary. Between the original Xbox, PC, and Xbox One BC, I've got about 1,800 hours in it. Thoroughly enjoyed breaking every aspect of Morrowind.
Ah, yes, En Croissant. Very important maneuver.

This doesn't make sense to you because you're not seeing the whole picture. Putin isn't the enemy or Republicans. They're in his pocket. He either bankrolls them, or has sufficient Komprimat on them to keep them in line.
Sarcastic: Indeed.
Wow. So that's how you can actually do sarcasm on the interwebs!
No, I didn't miss that at all. However, the bulk of your post was about the pointlessness of wireless controllers when you're playing close to the TV, and the annoyances of managing batteries. The Xbox breakaway cable was the exception to the rule. Most other controllers were just waiting to drag your whole console to oblivion.
This all sounds great, but it's predicated on the assumption that you'll never have to worry about anyone else tripping over your cords.
I had my kiddo trip over a GameCube cord and ripped my console off the entertainment center, subsequently ripping the AV cables out of the connector. Took me two weeks to find replacement cords for it where I live.
Owing to the open-ended wording of your wish, since there are no ants inside your body, all ants in a 50-radius have instantaneously taken residence within every available cavity of your body. You find yourself amazed by just how many ants that actually is in the few seconds you have before your body bursts and you die in horrific but brief agony.
It's even more crazy to consider the entire filesize for Vagrant Story is around 100mb. It's incredibly economical for what it achieves.
