UTI would be a lot funnier. -
Yeah, but there's also a lot more "slowly walk down a hallway so people can give you an unnecessary long exposition." You could cut 75% of Chadley's lines and not lose a thing in the game. It's a game that doesn't respect the player's time. There's a trend among older gamers who want shorter games because they don't have time in between work and family and blah blah blah. I'm not that kind of person, I've done two 80+ hour playthroughs of Cyberpunk. But none of the side stuff in Rebirth really has value. What was even the reward for finishing all the Queen's Blood matches? It never felt like any of the side stuff led to anything worthwhile other than checking off a box on a list. Until the Protorelic stuff at the end, but by then I was so burnt out and just wanted to mash Square through the combat anyhow.

I meant subtlety in the grand story. One thing that made Sephiroth such an iconic villain was because of how little you saw of him. The first time you even see what he looks like in the original game is in the Nibleheim flashback. Now, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting him in the face. Cloud sits down for a cup of coffee and a black feather falls down and Sephiroth pops out and is all like "Cloud, that coffee is very black. You know what else is black? Materia. Get me the black materia." Everything is an escalation over the original, everything is dialed up to 10. It's just an exhausting game.

Just finished at a bit under 100 hours. I put OG FFVII in my top 5 of all time. While the game has its moments, it's also got a lot of stuff that is just a tremendous waste of time and useless padding. I wish they just understood subtlety and didn't have to constantly turn everything up to 10 all the time. It's exhausting. At least Yuffie is great. Single best part of the game. Every scene that she is in is a joy.

I don't know if IGN made all the boards subscriber-only, I thought they had all the platforms just had a free version and paid version. I paid for an IGN subscription to avoid the rabble in the free forums, and also because I wanted in on that weird meta browser Rock-Scissors-Paper game that IGN was running. I thought it was such a cool idea, but ended up barely getting any matches and then they shut it down. Forums-wise, I pretty much stuck to the PC boards and the GameCube board. I remember how much fun 3DMark01 benchmark leaderboards were.

I don't know what is going on in this thread, but I need to participate. I had some water leakage problems at my house so I had to shut off the water until a plumber can show up tomorrow. I still feel okay peeing at home and letting it sit, but I'm trying to plan bowel movements to when I'm near clean public bathrooms.

The thing is, OG FFVII mini games felt like side distractions that gave you a leg-up on the main stuff. Remake/Rebirth follows a modern game design of everything is made visible to you and everything there is to accomplish is in a checklist. So, like side stuff doesn't feel like side stuff because it's presented to you in the exact same way the main quest stuff is.

Man, this game looks really cool. I loved Ogre Battle and Ogre Battle 64. It would be the prefect Deck game, but seems silly it's no on PC.

There's something like 90s futuristic about that green SUV. -
General Entertainment RIP Rooster Teeth.
ThreePi replied to CastletonSnob's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
My only interaction with Rooster Teeth was the first season of Red vs Blue and that one podcast clip of them mad at Jeff Gerstmann for giving Fallout 4 a mediocre score while they're sitting around wearing Pipboys and had Fallout 4 sponsored content. -
Hochul signs extremely mild gerrymander into law.

Cool. Now do Illinois and California. -
Remember when Utah's governor asked people to pray for rain? What happened after a governor asked his state to pray for rain WWW.DESERET.COM Utah Gov. Spencer Cox posted a series of tweets in response to comments about his call to pray for rain, starting by writing that Utah — along with most of the West — “is experiencing its worst drought since 1956.”

I should also add, that while my current direct manager is on-board with RTO (my real direct manager is on leave for like 6 weeks because of major surgery), he's also made it very clear that if you need to stay home for a specific reason (weather, kids, etc), just stay home for the day. So there is still some flexibility there.

I totally agree that screen sharing is better than projecting or connecting to a TV for technical stuff. It's easier to focus on smaller details on a laptop/PC monitor than it is staring at something on the wall across a room. I find in-person meetings better for more of the "brainstorming" kind of discussions. I feel it's easier to bounce ideas off of a group that way.
