Yeah totally. I don't think they intentionally made decisions in that way. I just don't think those game design concessions aged well. Thankfully we can work with them now though. You're right though that the animations in the disc era really padded battle lengths. Jeez, just thinking of using summons in the FF series is giving me flashbacks lol.

The US absolutely has its own set of issues, but I'm still not clear why you are unable to address the initial points made in regards to Xi and China and have instead changed the discussion to US flaws.

This was not a point on the mechanism of Democracy but rather Xi's removal of the term limit he worked within. As it stands, the people of China have no systemic method to remove him should they overwhelmingly disagree with his policies and unless he steps down he's in charge for life.

Democracy is broadly rule by the people. A leader for life without a mechanism for removal is one of many signs of a government that is not ruled by the people systemically. A benevolent dictator may rule in-line with the majority but should they not, the people have no ability to address it and make change at that level.

Further, no one has addressed the initial points made. Xi removed the ability for the people he rules over to hold him accountable. This is one of many indicators of an autocrat or one who is moving toward being an autocrat in full.

I totally understand the limitations of the time and still love the games, but really that doesn't take away from the fact that these games require a ton of time to complete. Newer JRPGs take this into account and attempt to address it in various ways which I very much appreciate.

Idk, this isn't simply about making and selling a widgit or service. It's an interesting other in which the vast majority of the product and service is created and run by the same users. Reddit just creates a space but people don't really care about the space generally. They care about what happens in the space that the users create and moderate. The users can just find another hangout which could eliminate the need for the space.

I use it for voice chat with friends when playing online games but for anything else it just doesn't hit the same way. I can't see it being a replacement for reddit or lemmy for instance.
