I still can't get over what an amazing game Blood Of Dawnwalker was. I feel depressed now after finishing it. Everything is so well done in the game, side quest and all.

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave is so good! Nintendo is delivering banger after banger after banger here. A generational run really while a certain other company flounders in the gutter

I haven't even touched Rebirth yet lol and I really enjoy the Remake stuff, even more so because it's a sequel to the original, but FF has gone downhill overall imo. Trails is my current favourite JRPG series, and it's really not even a close competition.

@deathkid

No one is stopping you from enjoying the FFVII Reamke games. But my point still stands, it's poorly written fanfiction. First time I played Final Fantasy VII was in 1999. Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 1(I still have both), were my first 2 PlayStation 1 games. So I've played Final Fantasy VII numerous times over the years. What what the Remake games are, are nothing more than imitators.

It's mass market slop at it's finest. Does it make it terrible games? Not at all, Remake Part 1 was fairly decent. But let's not pretend that any of the remake games are as good as the original. I hope Square Enix doesn't touch Final Fantasy VIII. Because they'll ruin that as well.

@phreak - Dont't get me wrong, many fans have valid criticism's with the game and I respect that. And It sucks when a game you're excited for doesn't hit the way you'd hope. I mean as fans we want to enjoy all entries in our favourite franchises.

I feel that as I'm getting older I rather just enjoy games for what they are.

One thing that I am not happy with is that FFVII Revelation will not be fully on disc, even though physical discs are included.

I'm a pretty hardcore FF fan but if you love the Remake series, as I do, you also kind of have to understand that a lot of contentious decisions were made in the story and it's just not gonna land with some people. I totally get why some folks don't like it or agree with the changes.

I do hope however that the announcement of FFXVII is close, feels like the FF fandom needs a new mainline title to reset after the Remake series lol

Hope it lives up to your expectations and you love it.
Always sucks to not be with happy for a game you were excited about.

@phreak - that I understand. Rabid defenders are rarely better than those that hate on a game. If you like a game or series, it makes sense you want to discuss what it could have done better or where it might go in the future.

Think people have become to comfortable with giving simplistic aggressive responses, attaching a strong emotion to it as justification, then calling it a day.

High - The blanket my wife bought me is literally the softest thing I've ever felt, I have it on constantly

Extra High - 25% discount on Discovery insruance, was quite surprised when I saw the debit order go off today, that's a great gesture by them for customers.

The only way to play Civ 6!

Tried with Duex ex, but the FOV was way to distracting
Fun setup, but really only relevant to a few games and some work setups

High - Bacon, toast and tea for breakfast

Extra High - My customer has re-opened and people are coming back to work. Luckily I already integrated their remote solution with the in office solution so I don't need to do any additional changes from my side, once they log in or out the routing automatically updates and routes where it needs to. I'm glad things are gradually returning to normal after this over reaction to the virus but things need to get moving quicker.

Low - The idiot BMW drivers are back on the road

Low - Balls. My Xbox 360's disc drive may be on it's way out.
High - Replacement drives can be bought but require a fair amount of working on to replace as MS ID locked each drive to each Xbox 360, meaning you have to swop the drive boards between the old drive and the new drive or the console won't be able to use it.
Low 2 - Dem replacements can get pricey.

Low - Company took away 14 days of leave during lockdown and put us on a work roster system (one day on, one day off) but I had to work every day anyway, and have still lost my leave
Low 2 - I have a massive assignment due for Uni end of this month and now the company have stopped allowing study leave, so I can't take time off to work on it.
Low 3 - Company also cut our salaries and unlike every other employer, have not applied for the UIF TERS that we are legally entitled to.

@$$hats Think you guys may have to get together to demand that they apply for TERS... Cynic me says that they aren't up to date with their tax submissions (VAT, Income Tax, PAYE) and deductions like UIF...

It could be any of that stuff quite honestly, we are all sending them requests for updates every week and get swotted away.

You can always take the step of reporting suspicions to the DOL, extreme perhaps, but if the company is not paying over what they are supposed to, then there are bigger problems ahead.

I'm not gonna bother, this is not my forever job/career, and in a year from now I won't even remember this Bigger things ahead

It seems they haven't even applied so I'm attributing it to being very short-staffed

High - That moment when one of your heroes becomes your friend on LinkedIn

Prof Stuart Russell, AI expert and author of "Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control". He did a webinar the other night on this topic and it was FASCINATING.

@Snow - it's one hell of a journey but also one that you'll walk away from with a ton of skills (not that it always feels that way!).

That said, make damn sure you're on the same page as your institution and supervisors when you do, as getting through one when you've already got a family takes a lot of juggling and compromise.

@Snow - of course.

Between the birth of my daughter, lab events beyond my control, and now Covid-19, I'm aiming for N+1.5 at this point so it's been a little wilder than expected. However, definitely gained some analytical and writing skills that - I hope - should have me set for more lab work here and potentially abroad.

Low - Still no TERS money this month yet, but HR has said it should be here next week.

High - Getting a TV once it comes through

Extra High - Managed to get another Artgerm cover for my collection and found a local presser that I can use before CGC submissions.

Extra Extra High - Got a few spec books on Miles Morales for cover price which are now selling for crazy amounts. Always great when you spend R40 on something only for it's value to hit the R2-3k mark. Makes it easier for the hobby to fund itself.

Personal low: Last night I had a relapse with... a certain online explicit video platform, which has left me feeling like a zombie today. Breaking the cycle is so damn difficult, you guys. Hadn't watched in two months, which is huge for me, and right as I felt great I had a moment of weakness. Maybe it's because my emotions are being repaired by the lack of said videos, and I need to relearn how to deal with them.

Oh well. Another day, another chance to be better, I guess.
