A little late on this one. This could be old news in this community, but wanted to share just in case.

On SAM.gov, the Social Security Administration published a Request for Information (RFI) for an Ontology.

Please see hyperlink below for your convenience. 👇

https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/bac434eb289b4d8facdf4b3ed5dbcb12/view

A few things of note

1. This RFI became inactive on 9-25-2026
2. Scroll to the bottom where it says "Attachments/Links".

Then click the link that says "Click here to see more information..."

After clicking on hyperlink, see the "DOCUMENTATION" section

3. Keep in mind that Social Security benefits is the biggest expense for the US federal government. I mention this to suggest any indication to the $$ size of a potential contract. However, per the body of the RFI this 👇

"Is not a solicitation nor an obligation or commitment by the Government. It is not a request for proposals, and the Government is not committed to issue a solicitation nor award a contract pursuant to this RFI or based on any responses received.

Nevertheless, see hyperlink below from the US Department of the Treasury that breaks down government spending percentages.

This RFI may or may not mean anything. But I thought it was interesting enough.

Since it's one of my favorite GsOAT, there aren't many things I would change.

But if there was a world where the game gets a Remake and I could share my thoughts with Square Enix developers, it would be this 👇

1. Please, please, please, do not change the summon system. I would be disgusted if they set limitations on when summons could be used, like seen in other titles in the franchise, such as 7 Remake and 15.

2. Can we tone down the difficulty for some notorious celestial weapon minigames? Being able to dodge 200 consecutive lightning strikes at the Thunder Plains, or having to win multiple Blitzball matches is a bit much.

3. I might be on an island with this take but, I didn't really enjoy playing Blitzball and the time it took to get through the tutorial. Don't get me wrong, I loved the concept of Blitzball, and it's story implications, I just found it difficult and didn't go out of my way to play more matches.

4. Open World please, no random encounters, and 100+ GB file size.

5. Give players the option to choose between both classic turn based combat or a more modern active hybrid system.

And, that's it.

That's all that comes to mind.

For me, 90+% of the game is flawless, perfect, and I wouldn't change a thing.

But, I'm curious what the community thinks.

What would you change? What must stay the same?

All the best

Make sure to check the expiration/best by dates.

Square Enix recently celebrated Finale Fantasy X's 25th anniversary. There were numerous events, and limited release items.

Tried to use Buyee to order a T-shirt and got a red "not eligible" message.

Why is it like this?

Just saw this epic movie in IMAX 70mm.

IMAXimus was the pre-show MC.

Took three weeks.

I don't have a Switch 2, and not sure if I'll ever get one, but I'm still considering pre-ordering the game just to show support.

I've searched the internet and can't find a single one for sale.

Fingers crossed Koei Tecmo releases a special edition console for the 10th title in the main series, and offers it outside of the Japanese market.

That's assuming Origins didn't replace DW10.

A little fun before Q2 2026 earnings.

Parody blends some iconic IPs, Star Wars and The Muppets, in a galaxy where the dark side and light side of the force collide in the stock market.

Hope y'all enjoy. 👇

Initial Movie Trailer:

**Narrator**

From the same studio that brought you "Episode IV - A New HODL", "Episode V - The Shorts Strike Back", and "Episode VI - The Return of the Bullfrogs" comes the untold story in the Galactic Gains epic thrillogy.

In Episode V.V: The Frog Awakens, a young Luke Skyhopper is distraught by the recent intense sell-off in one of his biggest positions. He seeks the counsel of Jedi Grand Master Yod-it.

Opening Crawl:

"Currently right now, in a parallel universe not that far away...."

Enter Scene:

**Luke Skyhopper**

Master Yod-it, I've never seen so much red before. I feared the worst and trimmed.

 

**Jedi Grand Master Yod-it**

Unfazed, I am - bought in the First Republic Offering. I did. 

Disturbed by temporary galactic pullbacks, a Master Frog is not. 

Driven by fear and greed, the markets are. To the dark side panic-selling leads. 

Have patience young Skyhopper, buy this dip, I shall.

But know, this dip does not mean it is THE dip!

Fall further into the mud, the stock can...a Lily Pad "LEAP" onto a long-dated call, I may! 

Time to mature, it gives.

Patience, a frog's greatest ally... yes, hmmm!

A true Jedi fears not volatility.

No!

Sell not.

Buy.

Or buy not.

There is no sell.

Remember this, you must.

 

**Luke Skyhopper**

Master, I don't believe it will return to all-time highs.

**Jedi Grand Master Yod-It**

That is why you sold.

I'm not saying this is AI-generated. Square Enix says it's CG.

Just curious if y'all think Square Enix would ever officially state any use of AI-generated artwork?

Third image is of the original artwork. Provided for comparison.

Tried placing an order this morning and it's still queued for market open.

Called and spoke with a Rep. on the Options trading desk and they didn't know anything about it.

They had to look it up, and told me to wait for an announcement from Schwab.

Link below to Cboe's press release.

There is also a Yahoo! Finance article on it as well.

Visited the Square Enix official website celebrating the 25th anniversary of FFX.

Link below 👇

https://jp.finalfantasy.com/ffx25th

The website has "jp." as a subdomain name and Google translate had to be used for each webpage.

I tried to order the "Visual Art Book", but when I went to check out Square Enix required that I set up an account, and the only country offered was Japan.

So curious on a few things below.

Has anyone living outside of Japan been successful in buying from Square Enix Japan e-store?

Is there an English version of the 25th Anniversary website?

And

How are y'all picking up 25th anniversary merchandise, if not from this website?
