As someone who liked FF7 a lot as a kid,and a bunch of other FF games, I really like remake.

I think 1 thing you have to know going in, is it isn’t FF7 just in a new engine with updated combat, and I think remake is a bit of a bad name for it.

Reimagining might be better.

You are correct that it isn’t the whole game, but it takes Midgard and makes a handful of setup hours from the first game, a good 40 hours of compelling story and world building(with some side stuff as well). It is very clearly a different story with changes that are interesting, but could very easily go off the rails if it isn’t properly managed.

It also has some incredible improvements to certain characters and even to areas of Midgard expanding on what was a very small part of the original games.

Combat is very good at mixing turn based actions(skills and spells and items), with action based combos. Dodging is a bit of a bait and is more positioning because you don’t get i-frames to actually dodge, blocking is important but doesn’t feel great(I heard it is improved in rebirth). The ability to switch characters and how unique they all feel is really enjoyable to me as well.

I am eagerly looking forward to Rebirth on PC cause I ain’t buying a PS5.

Remake in my opinion is significantly better than 16 which I think is pretty mid, and I would recommend it as long as you don’t expect a 1 to 1 of the original.

Phone tech is really boring. Almost everything looks the same, they are all x% faster than last year’s model which still does everything perfectly fine. In terms of hardware, the phone has kinda reached the optimal place.

I’m not the target audience for bleeding edge phones though. I take photos, listen to music(using Bluetooth and wired headphones), browse the web and message people. I don’t really play games or use it for work.

By far the most interesting thing to me is foldable phones. I really like the idea of a flip phone, but I don’t think it would be too happy sitting in my sweaty pocket while I cycle.

SQL has always been Skull in my head. I think it is because I hated it when in college and associated it with dying inside.

They keep throwing around threats of leaving.

Do it… do it you absolute chickens.

I feel the Linux - Linux fanboy is very wrong these days. It does not have a monitor at 22 degrees

I used to use it a lot. I still have some nice headphones that I like using, but they have become 2nd choice. I have bone conducting headphones that I use daily.

I prefer them, because I can still communicate, ride the bike, and never have to pause the music. But if I have to do anything loud, the wired buds are coming out to plug the ear holes.

They removed the dislike button. That improved the platform right?
