Having to spend more time in bed, due to my painfully swollen ankles. So I’ve got myself some reading material. A Mario encyclopaedia, and Bitmap Books’ history of Metal Slug. Bitmap make some bloody awesome books. I already have their SNES compendium, and scrolling beat em up one.

Reverse cover.

Happy 7th(!) birthday to the Nintendo Switch.

Barrett finds piano hard, go figure 🤔

This is such a good game it might enter into all timer territory for me, even with some of its issues. I don't know how they pulled this one off tbh. I'm not fully capable of being objective WRT things that are FFVII, and I can see some of this being baffling and tedious if you aren't heavily biased like that. But if you miss this type of complete feeling, giant feeling adventure story set across a huge varied setting with big character arcs, shonen-esque as they are, this is that game. And it's that game in spite of the somewhat generic framework it's built with, actually maybe because of it cause the Ubisoft style filler actually aids pretty well in discovering the complicated interactions between 7 party members and gives you time to take the setting in its huge magnificence. Like it's hard to see how someone who loves FFVII doesn't fall in love with this one, words I would never write about Remake.

Fair enough... least you're giving it a go.👍

I didn't either. Something about the demo intrigued me though. I think it might be a Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom thing again. Remake actively repulsed me. Something about Rebirth didn't.🤷‍♂️

They did to PC. Got FF4 remake on Steam. Haven’t played it though. So. It sure about the quality

Wow... didn't expect you to bother with this @OCH

I've decided to stop trying to play this on the OLED. The performance mode was causing me headaches every single session, no matter how long or short, it would happen within half an hour. It just feels like wearing the wrong prescription, easily the weirdest experience I've had like that with a game's resolution but there's too much detail and too little pixels to not make it a strain On my LED 1440 monitor, at quality mode, it looks and plays totally fine. Motion blends fine, detail is maintained, no eye strain. I recommend doing it this way if you have that option, or play on an LCD TV. Performance mode makes me sick anyway and it would ruin my time with this game I have the whole team unlocked, the playable members anyway. Cait Sith is hard to get started with the gameplan of, feels like you have to use synergy skill with him to get him on the moogle. The UI of the synergy skill stuff is very hard to get into muscle memory, it's mapped in a very strange way (character 2 has an offense and defense move on square and circle, character 3 has them mapped to triangle and X). edit nevermind, Cait Sith can fucking walk while casting spells. Game changer, sorry Aerith

Proper loving the Switch, having only got one last May, there’s loads still for me to discover and enjoy yet.

I got Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth physical, and got Penny's Big Breakaway and What The Golf? for my Steam Deck

Will have to wait till Saturda, busy tonight and off to see Dune Tomorrow.
