Two that really stick out:

1. Final Fantasy X, the ending when Yuna rushes to hug Tidus and falls through him because he’s starting to fade.

2. Life is Strange Before the Storm. (Spoilers) The ending with the camera flash. I played the first game. I knew Rachel died. But I lost myself in “this” game where she’s alive. Forged a wonderful romance with Chloe and everything. I remember it was like 3AM when I finished the game and when it faded to the shot of Rachel’s phone sitting on the table with tons of missed calls and the camera flashing in the background, I just involuntarily blurted out “Oh FUCK YOU!” It was a painful reminder that no matter how happy you make her, she dies in the end.

He’s impulsive and doesn’t know when to shut up. I got the distinct impression that, initially, he was absolutely not serious about buying Twitter. It was a joke/jest. BUT, because his antics affected their stock price he actually got forced into the purchase and now he’s desperately trying to figure out how to make the purchase worth what he actually paid, which is fine and all, except he seems to be leading by impulse, not by consensus or logic. He wakes up in the morning, has some random ass idea and implements it without any oversight. Even his new CEO straight up admitted that she is basically a straw man CEO who will offer no friction to anything Elon wants to do.

I filed a request for my Reddit data a week ago, so that I could save my account in its current state, before deleting it, and still haven’t received the notification that it’s ready. This process should be automated and not require human intervention, so I’m not sure why it’s taking so long.

I wonder if they realize that, according to the laws of physics and thermodynamics, the amount of heat and energy they consume and put into the world in order to produce those ice blocks, actually exceeds the amount they’re removing. So making ice blocks might help in the short term, but in the long term, they might actually make it worse, if not for the arctic, than for other places on the planet. Unless they’re doing other stuff like planting trees, the best they could ever hope for is to simply break even; to cancel themselves out.
