One of my favorite games ever released, no joke.

If King’s Field looked interesting, but too slow and boring… then this game is actually perfect for you.

I have never been a huge fan of the combat for the series. I put 2 hours into 2, 20 hours into 3. It’s just too slow for me due to how it prioritizes animation.

I definitely prefer more responsive combat over fancy animations. I don’t expect 4 to do that, I’m not really the target audience.

If it does, I’d love to give it a shot.

Subscriptions: One of the reasons I left iOS this year.
This will be a poorly worded post since I'm typing on mobile. I'm so tired of subscriptions. There's already so many bills to pay, I don't want to think about my phone having a dozen micro-bills. All of the top apps in the iOS app store, mostly excluding Google and Microsoft, have subscription pricing. (And now Outlook requires a subscription to remove ads.) Note taking app? Subscription. Reminders app? Subscription. An app with exactly one function and hasn't been updated in months? Subscription. It seems that the idea of one-time purchasing has all but died on iOS. The last one-time purchase I've ever made for an app on that platform is Apollo (RIP). After that, I just stuck with Apple's default offerings (Mail, Calendar, Notes etc). However decent those apps may be, they're stuck to the Apple ecosystem. On a whim I wanted to try out the Pixel 7. I discovered: Cinexplore, Feeder, Moshidon, Oto Music, and many more, of course. So many quality apps that are either free or offer a one-time purchase. I used them for a bit and either paid the one-time purchase or donated if it was free. And side-loading is the cherry on top. Having an open platform and more competition gives me a choice. It's refreshing and helps reduce the mental burden of subscriptions.

If you use any app other than what Apple provides, you become a second class citizen on your own phone.

Third party apps simply don’t integrate with iOS nicely unless Apple allows it. Even though you can choose a web browser, it has to use Safari’s underlying code base.

I’m on a Pixel 7. A lot of people say it’s like Google’s iPhone, but I can use Firefox as my browser natively. Adblocking actually works, too. I can choose any app as a default for whatever. Lots of FOSS! Google doesn’t own my Pixel the same way Apple owns the iPhone.
