A relaxing Saturday morning.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has more layers than a Floridian wintering in Minnesota.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the only game I've ever played that made me completely forget there was an Act III.

How tf did i never notice that in #FF7 Remake, the Ancients had flight technology during the planetarium video. Dafuq? Welp, high-tech weaponry in the Temple of the Ancients seem even more plausible now.

I'm knee-deep in replaying Palworld again when I need a break from work and studying, but every time I watch an #FF7 Rebirth playthrough I just want to play it all over again. A sixth time. I already have an ultimate hard mode save file setup starting in Kalm...might be time.

If the #FF7 Remake trilogy winds up not being a sequel to OG (insofar as traditional sequels are understood), I'm petitioning that as the premise for when the trilogy is inevitably remade 30 years from now.

I still think the best way to implement Chocobo breeding in #FF7 P3 is through Meteor's appearance causing a lifestream eruption which changes every zone's map and creates new terrain challenges. New location open for all zones, requiring multi-ability Chocobos to access newly explorable areas. 1/3

If you have any interest in OG FFVII's music, I can't recommend this video enough. youtu.be/94fUQx3CCP8?...

I doubt it's the plan, but it would be interesting if #FF7 Part 3s Knights of the Round summon consisted of recruiting the 13 knights separately as a final quest line; and each of them was the real-world summon awoken once Meteor is called. In OG, the Knights had different abilities and elements.

I've played Clair Obscur Expedition 33 for 4 hours and it features top tier voice acting & cinematics, godlike turn based battles, and might be the game I've been secretly wanting my whole life. ▶️WATCH:https://youtu.be/ALHlOUBbsfw

I haven't studied ethics academically in 15 years, and this is still one of the most fascinating discussions I've had the privilege of watching. 11/10 would recommend. If you aren't following @profnoctis.bsky.social , you're missing out. youtu.be/fbvlINid7D4?...

ProfNoctis will be at PAXEast 2025! We just got final word-- Evan and I will be hosting a panel presentation on Video Games in Education! If you're curious about my teaching methods, or just about the channel, don't miss this one. See you at @officialpax.bsky.social! #paxeast

The older I get, the more I just want to live in a kind world filled with happy souls.

After watching hundreds of streams from people playing #FF7 Remake and Rebirth, it's clear Square has a big opportunity in technical writing localization. Instructions are confusing when simpler explanations exist, and core mechanics are delivered as an overwhelming "info dump" for new players.

As much as I'm a winter-loving Minnesota guy, I'm really looking forward to not having to turn on the garage heater an hour and a half before I work out.

#FF7 thoughts This is a wild theory, but I'm wondering if the Gi's forging of the Black Materia resulted from trying to remove their despair and hopelessness in order to potentially be absorbed into the Lifestream - and perhaps got this idea from the Cetra themselves during their talks.

Is it weird that I want FF7R3 to have Queen's Blood with RNG booster packs? Like, let's take the multi-deck strategy from Witcher 3's Gwent, add in RNG booster packs, and have separate tournament quests - one for any/all cards and another for specific decks or card rules.

Sometimes I wonder if the aggressive FFVII shipping community should embrace the concept of multiple worlds and realize their interpretations/decisions exist in their own - but not necessary in others. You know, kinda like one of the main points of the story so far.

Just did a full playthrough of OG FF7 for something like the 52nd time; I've done a full playthrough about every six months for the last 26-27 years. Sometimes I forget the profound impact the original has had on my life. I just love it so dang much.

Time to start hoarding parts to build a PC and revisit modding/programming after a 25 year absence just to play Rebirth, and figure out how to add Cait Sith to the party starting in Kalm.

I replayed #FF7 Rebirth from the beginning in order to setup the hardest "Hard Mode" NG+ possible. It can be done in under 12 hours, as seen by the time stamp below. Skip all cutscenes, MSQ only, and avoid every unnecessary fight.

All right. It's entirely possible to get to Nibelheim in under 7 hours with a #FF7 Rebirth demo import to skip part of the flashback.

I have finished Metaphor: ReFantazio. Objectively, it should be considered a masterpiece with an era-defining narrative. I will back this 100%. If you enjoy the art style and turn-based games, it's thought-provoking story will probably become one of your favorite games ever. That being said...

Can't wait for my chat with @ProfNoctis to go live AND for him to really dig into that NEXT big game franchise that I love (hint, hint... watch) 👀

That’s right. Can confirm the @subtxt.bsky.social interview will coincide with the release of his MASSIVE video essay!
