  • Truth be told I must have played that for like 10 minutes or so. I liked Phantasia and Eternia, I started cringing quite a bit at Symphonia but mostly had fun anyway, and then I had seen enough “tales of” after that, and really thought ToS in particular didn’t need a sequel. Main reason we even got ToS2 back then was because there was a hack that used it as an entry point to softmod your wii, before there were more convenient ways.

    Even when an actual Japanese restaurant franchise opens a place here, they are usually run by local people. I don’t think that has much to do with how authentic the food is.

    Like I don’t care if my baguette was technically made by a guy born in Clermont-Ferrand. Flour, salt, water, baker’s yeast. Nothing else. Do it right, and congratulations, that’s a baguette.





  • The way I’ve been introduced to it (informally, and with the cardboard variant), during sprint planning everyone gives an estimate of how hard a particular issue/task will be.

    Note that it was not said how long. These are specifically not supposed to be units of time because “someone with experience might do a 13 in 10 hours, while a beginner may need 20”.

    And it’s Fibonacci because… I don’t know, I’m sure there’s an official explanation about that choice of distribution but it’s basically an attempt at witchcraft to me.

    You know that thing about the Spinal Tap amp going up to 11 so it can be “one” louder? That’s how I feel about those cards. In practice I had a much more sane version of this in another team, and that was just “this will be very easy to do”, “this will take time” and “this might be too complex for the benefits”.
