  • I find that FF16 (which might now be my favorite FF just for the moments and music) is a game of very high highs and very low lows, scored with an insanely incredible soundtrack that keeps me listening and remembering all the best moments over and over again.

    I find looking back on those moments as so much fun really helps me overlook the plethora of issues the game has, the relatively boring exploration and side quests, the lack of party members etc. Those are all damning for many people but I find the game strangely refreshing, and I found the combat simple but enjoyable. I honestly think the story is serviceable, but Ben Starr really brings incredible life to Clive, better than the character deserved honestly.

    All in all, I’ll never forget FF16. so for that reason alone it is one of my favorite FF games.



  • I think the only thing stopping me from gaming 100% on bazzite is Helldivers 2 anti-cheat (so fucking tired of these rootkits) isn’t Linux compatible last time I checked.I hope that shit changes soon, because I can’t wait to fully remove windows off my extra hard drive.




  • Not OP, but I also just finished the game. I had a lot of fun, IMO it’s a solid 8/10. It’s not the greatest RPG but it’s got decent writing, fun choices and mostly interesting characters. The exploration is fun, but with the way gearing and loot works it gets stale (luckily for me, that only happened near the end of the game).

    Hope the game does well cause it’s probably the most "finished’ an obsidian game has ever been.



  • My girlfriend had this issue. They offered her a free battery replacement, a free $100 bucks on the Google store, or another 3rd option I can’t remember. We ended up taking the Google store options despite my feeling that they were sunsetting her phone just because it was old, and she picked up an 8A for 200 bucks less after everything.

    Still really bothered by the whole incident. She was really stressed by the whole thing because she needs her phone for work and isn’t techy enough to not expect a phone to just…work. I would really like to know the reason for the incident.








  • If you enjoy Slay the Spire and are interested in more rogue like deckbuilders, I’m a big fan of Griftlands.

    It’s pretty small in scope but it has some fun ideas and three base characters/decks with their own stories you follow. It does have some meta-progression if you care about that. I find making builds in it really fun and it’s incredibly satisfying to see a deck come together and just destroy everything in your path.



  • I agree. The thing that keeps me going is the idea of finding community again.

    Not sure how many people in this thread are American, but we have a very independent point of view. The “optimal” way of living is leaving your parents, leaving your home, and building a new home somewhere else. We tend to be more independent overall and less likely to look to others for comfort, to our detriment. At least, that has been my experience.

    So I think the best thing to do is go out there, find a community that DOES care. Because they DO exist. Look for hobby classes, look for new friends in your interests, look for a church (if that is your thing. I am UU so the people at those churches are often some of the nicest, most leftist people around).

    I’m moving soon, and I think the thing that keeps me going is the idea of finding new community after I move. You can also affect meaningful change as a community when you can’t do it alone.
