The humour is derived from the absurdity of the notion that using an elixir is a crazy act, inspired by Jared Leto doing grade school pranks to get into character as the Joker. Typically, of course, Elixirs are not used, but rather saved for true necessity due to their rarity and usefulness so to use them might be seen as a crazy when of course it isn't that abnormal.

That's why it's funny.

If I ever make an RPG, I want to add a late-game NPC who trolls item-hoarders.

>Wow! You have 12 elixirs? What's the point of carrying all this stuff if you never use it?

And maybe add some endgame shop where elixirs are currency.

Why the fuck would you troll a hoarder, then later reward them for doing so? Dont even make your game.

Better way: An NPC will steal all your consumable items with no way to get them back. The point where it happens is random. It could be the first step you take, it could be right before the final boss.

Because NPC's in a game are different characters with their own unique opinions and values.

The question is, why would anyone want to play a game where the NPC's are a hivemind? That's boring.

I guess it'll go towards my kid's college one day, if I ever have kids. I don't have anything to really spend it on though, all I do is play video games for entertainment which is dirt cheap in the grand scheme of things.

[Anonymous No.3868420]

>>3868406
Yeah, my new plan is to get a bit of a better job and go settle somewhere until I die. I'm going to fill my house with all manner of stupidity. A survival bunker for sure like all those crazy people for the Y2K. A hidden bookshelf door room. Maybe one of those four poster beds. You know, eccentric gaudy stuff.

I mean, what's it all for? I already tried that marriage thing, didn't end very well. Maybe adopt some kid someday after they turn five or something so I don't have to deal with the annoying part of childhood. I hear most people go for the infants so the older kids have a hard time, although I don't know if they'd give one to a single person. They give them to fags now, I think, so maybe I could score a kid.

Both of my parents had cancer, we were able to afford treatment for both on just basic insurance. Not like it ruined our savings or anything, although we had to dip in there towards the end.

I imagine though for most Americans who live paycheck to paycheck, something unexpected like this will pretty much ruin them, especially if they don't have insurance to begin with. Overseas gets the best of both worlds though, we shell out tons of money every year for the best medical care in the world, and if you get sick in Europe and it's beyond their expertise, they'll pay (Or at least Sweden will, from chatting with other cancer patients from there) to ship you over to the US for treatment.

there's always some effective status for at least first half bosses in every FF (and slow spells are almost always functional), the problem is wasting time with trial & error when you can just smash the boss into pieces

in FFV most bosses from the first half of the game aren't immune to death. You get the death spell pretty late but there's an axe that has a small chance to cast doom on the target, and it works in a surprising number of bosses. Big oversight by the programmers (although maybe that was fixed for the advance release)
