which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster

Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They’re just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

I’d recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

FF3 is… okay. It introduces the character class system, which you’ll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.

Yes, but also there are many adult children for whom the same applies.

“Good faith” = corporations screwing you

“Bad faith” = you screwing corporations

There, I’ve simplified it.

As if there weren’t enough money behind Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft is about to buy them. You might as well wish for the oceans to dry up.

I’d say it’s more that computers only enabled the opportunity for humans to invent the security problems that other humans now have to counter with better computer and human solutions.

Yeah, sure, bringing things back on prem where 90% of organizations do not have comparable resources in-house to manage and secure them, as opposed to leveraging a cloud provider and properly maintaining the shared responsibility model is going to “set us free”.

It’s a great game, but it’s also “baby’s first Zelda” in terms of game mechanics. It’s the first Zelda game my kid managed to play through on their own, and then when I had them try out LoZ, AoL, LttP, etc. they couldn’t believe that you couldn’t just bump into enemies without getting hurt by raising your shield.

It’s far easier than even the Gameboy original, because back in the original you only had two buttons to assign items/equipment to, including the sword and shield, and the run boots weren’t an inherent ability but rather were just another item to assign to one of your two buttons.

In the remake you can simultaneously use your sword, shield, jump feather, run boots, and I believe one more item to boot. It makes it literal child’s play compared to other Zelda games.

That said… I wish they would remake more of them like that, because it is a great looking and fun to play game.

You realize there was a good decade between the first home PC games and the time when computer mice became ubiquitous, right? You’re going to have to say something about the game other than “text based”, because that’s no more descriptive than “mouse based” or “gamepad based”.

Ah, well then yeah he should have been more explicit, or simply not replied.

If the question asked was “do you agree to the contract?” and the farmer answered “👍”, then yeah I can see it. But if the question asked was “have you received the contract?”, then this ruling is bullshit. Unfortunately the article doesn’t have enough information either way.

I mean, the sooner Squeenix wants my money, the sooner they’ll bring it out on Steam. If exclusivity deals are worth more to them than people buying the game, best of luck to them and I’ll buy their game several years from now when it’s on sale for less than $30.
