    Been playing FF7 Rebirth. One of the few games I'll actually have time for this year. So far it's been worth the price of a PS5 just for this one title. I was nervous about them diverging from the main story after the Remake, but honestly you can tell this is a labor of love, and they tried to fill in as many of the elements from the original FF7 as they could. Honestly impressed how creative they were with referencing just about everything the original had going for it, as well as adding some new content to keep it fresh. Been so awesome seeing some iconic locations re-imagined and fleshed out. I would say the combat is probably the worst part of the game for me, but plenty of people are having a blast with it, so I can't say its bad, just not my favorite. Overall 9/10 and one of the few things these days that lives up to the hype.

    This is 100% the media. The right-wing media praises trump and talks about him constantly about how great he is and how terrible the left is and Joe Biden is. Can't watch Fox News or turn on conservative radio for more than five minutes without the host going off on a rant about how the left is ruining this country and how only Trump Jesus can save us. If you honestly believe that, you're going to be very passionate about voting.

  4. Comment on Unpopular opinion: Capitalism is a better ideology than socialism or communism because greed is a more tolerable emotion than fear/envy in ~talk

    Capitalism is great - but it only works in a society with morals and values. Otherwise it is just as bad and oppressive as all the other ideologies.

    What I don't like is when streaming services decided to create multi-million dollar shows or invest in services that nobody asked for, and then they jack up the subscription prices.

  7. Comment on The Xmas music playlist at my job is awful; give me your best non-traditional holiday songs! in ~music

    I prefer heavy metal Christmas, punk rock Christmas, indie Christmas, and lofi Christmas playlists on Spotify. Those all have a distinct vibe that isn't traditional, yet keep the holiday feel.

    I didn't even know it was coming out until I saw a last-minute ad for it on TV, and ever since Endgame, I haven't really kept up so I had no idea who these characters were or what was at stake. I think Marvel/Disney need to lean into the X-Men next, as the Avengers are pretty much played out at this point.

    Unpopular opinion, but I have an affinity with American cheese. Tastes great on a burger, and on a sandwich with some bologna. It's not a kind of cheese to put out on its own or anything, but I find I use it a lot more than other cheese. IF I had to pick a independent cheese to eat on crackers or something, I'd go with a habanero jack cheese.

    Recently picked up Cyberpunk 2077 again. I'm just taking my time and enjoying the world. First play through I was so panicked about resolving the main scenario quest that I rushed through things too quickly and missed out on a lot of side content and big parts of the story line. Restarted the game a few times since then, played about 12 hours or so each time, then put it back down. This time with the 2.0 release I'm going to just take it one bit at a time.

    The one that comes to mind for me is Minecraft. I would always be able to find my way using various natural formations, or having to place torches or build landmarks in the game to not get lost.
