then again my take on a satanic pact as far as a cliche goes, is that it’s a deal where you get everything you want but you find out it turns out to hurt people you care about, or it reveals your wish to have been an empty pursuit, or just time runs out for the dipshit thing you wanted to do for the rest of your (much shorter) life

the specifics vary but the general concept, whether it's with satan or a genie or through a monkey's paw or whatever, is always "you agree to the deal but it turns out worse for you than you anticipated."

I just find it really weird that it's being sold as "Final Fantasy VII: Remake" rather than "Final Fantasy VII: Remake Part I" or something. It's basically asking for a class action lawsuit because it would be really easy to buy it assuming that it's the whole thing.

its a trilogy and the next two are ff7 reuse and ff7 recycle

Demake is already a term, OP. A final fantasy vii demake would be something like an NES port of ff7.

I am almost done with the remake. I never played the original all the way through. I rented it a few times and watched friends who had it play so I am not the guy to speak on the OG experience end to end.

That being said I am having fun with the game. I don't find the fighting to be that hard (playing on normal :smug:). The game is definitely on rails and the story is very vague besides the eco-terrorism plot. It is straight up goofy in some places, especially when Barrett is on the screen. So far I don't see Red XIII or Yuffie which were my favorite characters. I think there was a yuffie stand in because she seemed similar and was a thief but she was pretty annoying.

6/10 - Its fine

i was eventually able to get the cable into the office area by running it up through the floor in the corner nearest where i had access in the basement. just snaked it along the wall and behind cabinets and poo poo to my computer.

I can't do mesh because there is literally no radio propagation between the two floors of my apartment

i made sure our laptops had wired once we both got wfh orders, the amount of remote desktops and video calls would have surely fried the router eventually

incidentally, i also ran my ipad, which i use for video calls, through the usb networking sharing in macos and it helps stability (of course) too, as well as enabling icloud caching to cut down on network use

cws: took some mental recharge days and im clearing stuff out of our basement and finding so many old computer things. like why do i have three isa modems? surely the two pci ones were sufficient at the time

might be time to test and scrap/cobble together the remaining into one overspecced legacy computer. pretty sure i could do triple monitor 3dfx. maybe grab the copy of quake 2 i found and do a media install
