I disagree, not that much has really changed overall in the grand scheme, just in how and when it’s being told. We mostly just get more.

Like look at the upper junon section. We get everything that was there before, except we get this extra section with the seventh in between the parade and leaving for costa del sol (and the recruitment section just before the parade). Which looking back was one of my favourite bits, especially early on.

I subjectively like it.

I objectively think it’s the best that could’ve been implemented for what it is, it being a blend of real-time combat but with the strategy of classic ATB turn based combat.

The game you loved still exists, and the new ones let you spend a little more time in the world, fleshing out little moments from the original and lingering on them longer and giving these characters’ relationships time to actually breathe and grow more naturally.

I’m sorry it didn’t grab you from the first 15 minutes, you truly are missing out on some awesome moments and gameplay in my opinion. Obviously the latter being mostly subjective, but I do objectively think it’s the best action/ATB system that could’ve ever been implemented.

Remake and Rebirth are so fucking good. They’re more than what I wanted because instead of just getting a basic bitch remake in more than just name, I get a fucking sequel that expands upon so many aspects of the original. As a fan. Why wouldn’t you want more of what you love?

Not only that they’ve shown time and time again throughout the games so far that they hold so much reverence to the original and show it so much more respect than a beat for beat remake ever could.

It’s 100% a sequel. It does not replace the original.

It’s not about amount of discs. It’s about dev time. If it was one whole game they’d not only bloat the budget to dangerous levels, it’d likely be outdated by the time it’s finished and will either need to redo large parts of the game so it looks modern or release a game that looks like it should’ve released 5+ years ago.

Imagine if FFVII didn’t split up it’s remake, not only would we not have any of it right now. When the third part comes out it’ll all just look like a PS4 game on a PS6.

If you want to argue whether or not they should go balls to wall that requires them to make a series of games so large is infeasible as a single entry, and do something a bit more budget friendly like the original, then fair enough. But then it’d just be a remaster or something not that far removed.

I miss writing in clojure. I never have a reason to write in a functional language at work

Plant based whole foods, the fuel of the rebellion!

.net from core 2 was awesome. From 5 onwards it’s been beyond amazing!

Whenever I solder. i always make sure it’s lead free. I ain’t messing with that shit.

I have a 351v that has been very hard to replace. I was originally going to go with one of their XX devices recently but instead decided to go with a pow kiddy v10 with the intention of eventually soldering a usb WiFi adapter on the inside.

Anbernic have been doing a lot of shady stuff with their devices as of late, especially when it comes to QC. Doesn’t suprise me they’ve cut corners elsewhere too.

Chrome, I’m deep into the Google ecosystem at this point. But i use DDG for my search engine because Google’s has gotten noticeably worse for my job in the past year or so

Analog sticks could’ve been more inset towards the screen a little more. Glad that it’s not completely in vertical alignment of the buttons and dpad

You think they don’t collect data illegally and anonymise it (but keep cohorts) for market research already? You sweet summer child

Defedding doesn’t stop any of that though

Defedding from threads always seems strange to me. Everyone says it’s to protect your data from meta. But they can already get your data. Everything on the fediverse is public. They already have your data.

Can you not have a new save after replacing it?

If that was the case they could’ve replaced the battery since and still have a save on that cartridge that needs backing up

Could be to get their save that’s on the cartridge backed up?
