My local supermarkets allow dogs, so this is how grocery shopping looks like for us 🐩

Appena finito, romanzo storico (molto molto fedele ai fatti, con cospicua lista e spiegazione di tutte le fonti capitolo per capitolo alla fine) di Saviano che racconta la storia professionale (e anche umana, ma non è una biografia) del giudice Falcone e attraverso la stessa traccia anche quelle di vari magistrati che hanno identificato e combattuto il fenomeno mafioso (es. Terranova, Chinnici, Caponnetto e ovviamente Borsellino).

Per quanto sia un libro drammatico che tratta temi drammatici mi ha assolutamente aperto il cuore.

Oltre a consigliarlo vivamente, sono curioso di sapere l’opinione senza filtri di altri/e che lo avessero letto.

Hi folks. I'd just like a chill conversation with y'all on something that has been on my mind a lot.
I've seen some "would you like a remake?" posts popping up lately and while maybe yeah, I might (as long as they don't touch the battle system ofc) there's a scenario I've dreamt of for almost 20 years (I'm one of those "since 2002" people...).

My dream would be a prequel that covers the whole story of the pilgrimage of Jecht, Auron and Braska, with Jecht as the main playable character (I mean, who else?) and the trio traveling through Spira under a different "light" than what we have seen with X and X-2.
This is where my mind starts playing.

I've always felt like Auron knows something much, much deeper than what we are shown in FFX (for those who follow One Piece: I think of him as a Rayleigh-like figure). I think him and the guys have discovered, understood and somehow developed the whole story of the war, of who Yu Yevon was and why he engaged in becoming Sin, and my dream would be to play a game where the 3 of them, bit by bit, uncover the whole story.

Imagine all the million questions we could see answered...
Who built the Yevon religon and its temples and what was their initial goal?
How did Zanarkand and Bevelle develop and eventuallly ended up in a war?
What was the "lazy" machina society really like?
What is Jecht's full life story, why was he so hard on Tidus?
Which role did all the different species that populate Spira have within the past 1000 years?

We could get proper peaks into both Yuna's and Tidus' childhoods and see how they developed to become the future heroes of Spira....
We could see exactly how the trio reacted when they found out that there is a "new", ultimate way to defeat Sin...
We could go through Spira with their own eyes and explore the backstories of all the different characters that became so familiar yet we know so little of...(why is it so important to stay away from the summoner?? Ok just kidding on this one).
We could still have blitzball of course, due to Jecht.

It would probably need to be a full open world, but one in which you unlock areas slowly.
The battle system should be turn-based, although with a party of 3 something might need to change (not sure if new characters would fit the vibe...I'm not into X-2 tho, I'd like a battle system as similar as possible to X).
Nevertheless, imagine starting with a young, inexperienced Auron and getting to develop him into the samurai-like warrior we all know...

Well if you read this far, first of all, thank you. Secondly, I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

Just a random photo of my boy (3 y/o miniature) I took while road tripping :)

27 anni dopo, rimane forse la più bella avventura videoludica della mia vita.
Finalmente li ho entrambi, boxati e completi, con la relativa guida (quelli di quando ero bambino purtroppo non li avevo tenuti molto religiosamente…mi è rimasta solo una cartuccia di Argento, in condizioni…diciamo vissute).

Non sono un collezionista, ma ci tengo ad avere i miei giochi preferiti in formato fisico e ben visibili in casa :) li gioco una volta all’anno su DS ma averli così è tutt’altra cosa!

Un saluto a tutti gli appassionati di Pokémon :)

Come da titolo. M35, originario di una città di medie dimensioni del nord Italia, da quasi 10 anni vivo in Finlandia. Faccio base a Helsinki, ma per motivi "di piacere" ho passato/passo molto tempo in Lapponia (lavorando da remoto, in tutte le stagioni a seconda degli anni), e mi capita spesso di visitare altre città (sempre per lavoro) quindi credo di avere una conoscenza relativamente buona di tutto il territorio e non solo di una bolla specifica.

Negli ultimi anni ho notato una enorme curiosità (sia nelle mie conversazioni private che nei media) verso la Finlandia, di come funzionano le cose qui, di come la gente vive, lavora e ragiona, più gli immancabili "ma quanto freddo fa in inverno?" e ovviamente "ma è davvero il paese più felice del mondo?". Ho appena visto l'ultimo video (molto bello, ve lo consiglio) di Nova Lectio che ha proprio la Finlandia come tema e tratta alcuni di questi argomenti, da lì mi è venuta l'idea.

Come noterete, non sono un Redditor super attivo e questo è il mio primo AMA, quindi siate clementi se non faccio tutto alla perfezione :)

Listen to my story. (…)

This game is in many ways a part of my identity. Played at release in 2002 for the first time, still here. I never get tired of talking about it, thinking about it, playing the soundtrack, scrolling the strategy guide, planning my next run and…reading about it.

So yeah, as I’m listening to Tidus’s theme (original version), which puts me in a particularly good mood, I just wanted to say I appreciate you all a lot. Almost every post in this sub makes my day better when I read it. From folks sharing their achievements, to folks over-analyzing a specific location of the game, to first timers falling in love with it, to the wildest theories, artworks, opinions about blitzball (huge Besaid Aurochs fan here - how did you guess??), THANK YOU.

I don’t write much on Reddit, usually prefer to just read, but wanted to throw this out. In this weird, sometimes toxic world I am proud to feel part of such a genuine community.
