Didnt the recent epstein dump reveal he shits himself because he got stabbed in the ass by one of his epstein victims or something?

If thats the case, then I’d wager you’ll probably enjoy playing the game and stop paying attention to the graphics by the time you get out of the starting area.

Nah, feel free to trash regardless.

SquareEnix has become an awful, greedy, shit of a company. I’m sure they’ll fuck up this new version somehow.

I miss the days when Square and Enix were seperate companies…

Have you played other Final Fantasies?

Do you tend to find yourself prefering the magitech futuristic ones, like 8 and 15, or do you prefer the classic fantasy setting ones like 6 and 9?

If you’ve played other final fantasy games, and like the magitech future ones, then I’d say get it. its only 5 bucks, thats an easy price to justify for a game thats going away and never coming back… and depending on what changes they make to their yet to be released update, 2013 might end up becoming a preferable version to have.

Honestly, its going away forever, so even if you don’t like the magitech ones… might be worth 5 bucks just to have it in case you might want to play it 3 years down the line.

As for story and graphics, well, its a 29 year old game, man. 2013s version is more improved over PSX, but its still gonna be a 29 year old game. If you are someone who cant tolerate retro gaming because of the graphics, then you’ll probably not enjoy FF7… You can mod the graphics, but last I tried (granted, this was years ago)the modding was kind of a pain in the ass and I was never able to successfully get through it… and even the modded graphics might not be up to what you want from a game.

Chinese knockoff replacement batteries are always sketchy as hell. Often lying outright about battery specs, and theres always the potential for them to go full samsung.

years ago, ifixit claimed to test their replacement batteries for quality and safety, i dont know if thats still true… but if you’re gonna get a replacement psp battery, I’d get it from there before anywhere else, even if its marginally more expensive.

I think its mostly for connecting to modern TVs.

Cause it doesnt matter if you get one of those new FPGA consoles, or buy an original console and spend money modding it for HDMI and other shit… it typically comes out to similar cost.

Unless theres been a radical change in price in the last year, HDMI mods for consoles are stupidly, insanely expensive. like 150-200 a pop last i checked, regardless of console.

HDMI mods don’t apply to handhelds, of course, but i think the same basic premise of modding an original or buying a FPGA repro probably still comes down to cost and if you personally want to do the work or not.

“You’re wrong on your opinion of apples! So heres a list of positives about oranges that totally disproves your comments about apples!”

the only socially acceptable interaction with a nazi, is punching the nazi.

I continue to argue that it was nothing but a Psyop campaign to test how to manipulate the American public by the chinese government. and tI doubt that lingering, baseline purpose has changed at all with the new right wing propagandist owners.

Just look at all those insane “trends” it got people to do, like Kicking in strangers front doors, assaulting people, destroying public property, etc etc.

It turned violent sociopathy into an upvoteable activity.

Exactly.

But there is a very small minority of people who just get irrational and hostile to anything done wrong on linux, especially if its not the end users fault.

Amazing how every time you think they’ve finally stopped digging… they whip out the steam shovel and go “Hey y’all, watch this!”

Nope, Not exaggerating. I watched the last episode of Grand Tour at 320p when it released.

maybe they’ve changed something since then if you’re having a better experience now.

edit

Holy shit, the return to zimbabwe was sept 2024. where has the time gone…

Not how any of this is supposed to work.

Theres only 2 times I have headaches due to being on linux.

1. When I’m streaming, the streaming service I use (typically Amazon) refuses to stream at anything higher than like 320p, despite me enabling the DRM and all that stuff, cause they think if you’re on linux you’re the l33t h4x0rz out to steal their garbage files… Which isnt linuxes fault in the least.

2. When I’m playin a game thats not easily moddable (like Cyberpunk) (Compared to easily moddable games, like Bethesda titles, or Stardew, Or Minecraft)that requires running tons of extra executables and stuff. its just a pain in the ass to get shit working, to the point I often give up half way through.

other than that, Linux really hasnt been a barrier to my daily life in any way. Granted, I kind of cultivated myself a proper linux enviroment before I even made the switch, by using AMD gear, and buying linux friendly web cams/printers/blue tooth dongles/etc etc.

i got pissed off with mod organizer when I lost an entire fallout 4 run because it just suddenly decided my mods didnt exist anymore. Just poofed, into the ether. and no, it wasnt cause a fallout update, this was before the latest update debacle.

Zyklon-B, the pesticide used in the gas chambers, was still being manufactured, sold and used (for its intended pesticide usage) all the way up until the 2010s iirc.

and this was still under the Zyklon name.

I would never sell my games, ever.

I made that mistake once, and it was a decision I’ve regretted for decades.

Evercarts and emulation are convenient, but is nothing compared to having that original box, with the original cart, and original book, and any other stuff, in it, for when you want to ride the nostalgia train.

The Nobara updater is fairly unreliable

Yeah, Its the only weak part of the entire distro, imho.

but you can run the proper updates via commandline with

sudo nobara-sync cli

its not ideal, but at least its pain free updating until they get rid of the Nobara Updater.

“Wnat to make a billion dollar company cry? use an even worse billion dollar companies attempt to stranglehold control of the internet!”

Just throw away the money you spent, and the social groups that use those games as hangouts!
