2022-01-07 09:05:45 +0000 UTCanyone know how in depth the Lost Judgement spoilers are? I'm still early on in my playthrough, don't know if I should skip it in the discussion or not.

2022-01-06 19:21:12 +0000 UTCI've been listening to Vinnie for many years, I'd never noticed that it sounds like he says "foward" instead of forward, it seems like it's come up a lot lately.
