Super agents show up when you start a mission in a territory they are located in. If you do so, they will stay in that territory, and will be "investigating" you. If you still finish the mission there, it will generate a "resolve" mission, to stop them from attacking your base. But it's a pretty expensive mission, and it only exists for a few minutes. So it is very easy to miss. But the game does not tell you ANY of this. I had the same problem with those super agents showing up constantly, until I stumbled on a reddit post explaining the system. So just make sure no agent is in the territory you start a mission in, and they will never attack you (finishing a mission in a territory they arrived in later, is still fine).

But this knowledge makes the game even more boring, since it means you just get the boring investigators....

This game is my disappointment of the year. Could have been really fun, and I even bought the season cause it gets an extra genius, and I expected to play the game once with every character anyway. But seeing as it takes about 80 hours to finish it once; and most of the game is just waiting and busywork; I don't see myself playing again (or even finishing my first playthrough.

About the whole "getting an easy seperate email for each thing you sign up for": If you own a domain and have a mailhost, you can setup a "catch all" mailbox. In this mailbox every email to a non existent mailbox, will arrive. So every site that needs you to register, you can just use <sitename>@myowndomain.com and it will arrive in the catchall mailbox. If you don't want yet another mailbox to check, you can also just set up a rule to forward those mails to an observed mailbox. That way you will still know wich address the mail was originally sent to, without having to check the catch all mailbox.

I've got it set up with one email address that only gets handed out to friends & family, and is allowed to notify me of new mails. Everything else gets a "personalized" email, based on their domain or whatever I come up with at the moment they want it. Those all arrive in a mailbox that I just check once a day or so.

I don't know who's responsible for the 'announcement' box in the live chat. But for the love of fucking GOD please stop putting spoilers in it. I truly don't understand why that would be a good idea? I'm quite sure those who've seen everything live, are still remembering what won. And if they don't, they don't care enough to remember.

But everyone who can only start watching a few hours later, and goes to the live page, or has rewound to the start and later unmaximizes for some reason, will see the winners. THIS SUCKS. A lot of the content in the shows is being discussed here in spoiler tags, but the biggest spoilers are constantly present in the chat....

The oppression of any group is unacceptable, even if you feel morally justified in doing so. If you refuse to communicate with your "enemies" then you'll never have peace. Don't silence them, put forth your facts and make them look like fools, or let them keep talking and make a fool out of themselves.

This is where you are just plain wrong. I also used to think that bad people should be allowed to speak their mind, because it makes it plain to see they are bad or stupid people. I thought that people should be free to deny the holocaust for example, because it seemed as dumb as denying Napoleon existed or that grass was green.

Today it seems that obviously stupid or plain evil ideas, seem to take root in large parts of the population. Confronting people with facts also no longer helps, because they are happy to call facts "opinions". Denying the holocaust is a fairly accepted idea among those on the far right.

So yes, as a society we need to protect our democracy from fascism, even in that requires us to be less democratic by banning those wanting to live in a fascist regime. We need to protect a tolerant society, by being intolerant to intolerance. Not doing so, would be as ignorant as refusing to fight against the nazi's because waging war is not a peaceful action, although war was needed to gain peace.

Third world is a term that was perfectly normal during a great part of many people's life. Just because suddenly some people decided it's a "bad word", doesn't make it actually wrong, just outdated, since the countries originally seen as Third world countries are often no longer in that situation (and some countries devolved to such a state). It suggests corruption, lack of democracy or development in general. Countries that often saw scenes like this week, in which election results were met with violence and a refusal to give up power by the losing side. So calling it a "third world scene", is perfectly apt, even if there no longer is something as a "third world".

It's really disheartening to see so many in the liberal spectrum trying to one-up each other, and attacking what should be comrades. There are 70+ million people who voted for a terrible, vile person, people here that think that protesting against racism is pretty much the same thing as protesting in favour of racism, but sure, keep yelling "do better" and "don't use that word!" every chance you get at those who are actually in your camp. The day the big discussion is about *how* tolerant we should be towards things, is a good day. Up to that day, how about we start by unifying against those who are completely intolerant, ok?

Since it isn't "The run", perhaps it makes more sense to just keep playing for an hour or so? Especially if it takes a while to set everything up?

You can save the game, so if a game takes longer than expected, you can just resume next time?

The fact that there needs to be a charity to combat voter suppression in a western country like America is a sad thought. Hopefully we will eventually reach a point where it will not be needed anymore, but until then it is a noble cause to help!

The fact that you will have people on here claiming that getting as many possible people to vote, is somehow a partisan thing, and they want politics out of their video games; is an even sadder thought.

What I think you need, email-wise, is a "catch all" email adress. AFAIK most domain/email providers, offer this service for free. It's easy to set up and doesn't require you making extra aliases or a lot of work in any way. It's the way I've been filtering spam, protecting against account hacks and tracking whoever sells my email address. It works great, provided you own the related domain of course.

What you do, is you make an email account "whatever@vinny.com", and specify that as the catch all email account. This means that any email that's send to a domain, that does not match an actual existing address, arrives in the inbox of "whatever@vinny.com".

So let's say on your vinny.com domain, you have 3 actual email accounts: vincent@vinny.com, wife@vinny.com and kid@vinny.com, and the general whatever@vinny.com account. You only hand out the actual email addresses to real people you trust. Every time you have to register your email somewhere, you type in something like "verizon@vinny.com" (or wherever you are registering). Any mail send to verizon@vinny.com, will end up in the "whatever" inbox, since it is not an (alias of) any existing email account. If you ever get a mail from someone else at verizon@vinny.com, you know verizon sold your information.

When you want to take things further, you can start blacklisting recipient addresses as well. This works much better than blacklisting senders. Let's say you find out that Verizon has been hacked and you get tons of spam for verizon@vinny.com, in your "whatever" inbox. Your mail control panel should allow you to blacklist any recipient. So you can just change your email address at Verizon to damnyouverizon@vinny.com, and blacklist verizon@vinny.com so every mail send to that address gets dumped into the void.

Edit: After listening a bit further: as long as it isn't a company's domain and someone is actively sending fishing mails, the spam coming into random email addresses is pretty limited. It's mostly to the admin(istrator)@ or the info@ addresses, and those can be blocked pretty easily.

To me it just seems that the Kingdom Hearts guy managed to convince Square to let him direct a pretty faithful retelling of the FF7 story, right up to the point where the characters actually fought against the original story... Which could be really cool, but I fear that this is also the point where the actual good, comprehensible story will stop. He is now of the leash, and can start making the story Kingdom Hearts level bullshit. And fuck that shit.

@whitegreyblack: I forgot all about the demo. Just played through it on Normal and Classic. Normal seems pretty fun and the boss fight was challenging enough without being excessively hard. Classic mode was also quite fun, but lacked any form of challenge. Especially the boss fight was a walkover. It was dead before I even got a Limit break. If there was a combination of Normal mode with classic controls, I would be interested, but not the way it is now unfortunately.
