We'll definitely see Rocket Town in Revelation. I'm looking forward to seeing how they adapt Cid's temper when we finally see him with Shera.

Technically, Rebirth (part 2) ends at the same place in the story as disc 1 of the original. Disc 3 of the original was mostly the same as disc 2, since you could do a lot of side content early or late. They just needed another disc to fit all the FMV scenes.

So the general flow of the remake trilogy is:

Remake: Midgar. In the original, this was the first 5-8 hours for a typical player, and included roughly 1/3 of the whole game's dialogue, so it's not as crazy as it sounds at first, even though you can speed through Midgar in like two hours if you rush.

Rebirth: Open world up to the "big event" that ended disc 1.

Revelation: Everything after the "big event", so discs 2 and 3. (Possibly also adapting some aspects of Advent Children and/or Dirge of Cerberus, but we'll just have to wait and see.)

There are a couple things that were moved around. For example, we didn't go to Rocket Town in Rebirth, while that was much earlier in the original. Cid appeared in Rebirth but was not a playable party member, so they've reorganized it a bit to focus on Cid's whole story in Revelation.

Huh?

Okay, it's been a very long time since I watched that movie, but as I recall, he very clearly died. I know they went on to bring him back to life a hundred different times in PIC, though. Is that what they meant?

The gist is that it's a trilogy (Remake, Rebirth, Revelation), and there are some spinoffs.

It was officially confirmed as a trilogy about 4 years ago, and unofficially known as a trilogy for a couple years before that. Revelation is the final installment.

Remake and Rebirth are awesome, and you should play them.

They also remade (or "remastered", whatever) the 2007 PSP spinoff/prequel, Crisis Core, a few years ago for PS5. It's okay, but not great. Worth playing if you're really into the series, otherwise skip.

Then there's a mobile game called Ever Crisis, which sucks like only mobile games can. If you really want to catch up on obscure side stories, just read the wiki. It's way more fun.

I enjoyed this one, as I've enjoyed all the Murderbot stories.

I did feel a bit let down by the dangling thread of the other rogue SecUnit. It showed up, ran off, and then we never saw it again. I guess it was just setting the stage for future stories; the hack is uncontained and any SecUnit could realistically have it in the future.

It looks like you tagged an unofficial Lemmy community. You probably meant to tag the official Vivaldi Mastodon account, which is @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net

(I'm replying from Lemmy, and sometimes posting across Lemmy and Mastodon is weird, so...I hope this works right.)

Never thought I'd compare Macs favorably to PCs that cost more than twice as much, but here we are.

Does Microsoft have such a captive market for hardware that they can actually get away with this? What kind of chump would actually buy this at $1300? The tech world rightly laughed at Apple in 2024 for releasing an 8GB laptop for $1100. And macOS, while hardly svelte, is nowhere near as bloated as Windows 11.

“Just to give you an example, we look at our data in May, and satellite usage is 0.0002% of our total network usage. That’s three zeros,” he said, later adding: “We’re seeing it largely focused on the national parks.”

That was my first thought. It's been a long time since I hit a dead zone, with the sole exception of national parks. I wouldn't pay extra for that, but it would be nice to be able to contact my traveling companions if we ever split up.

Compared to ~10 years ago, it's a different world. Back then, I'd hit dead zones pretty much anytime I left a major city.

That's after you already have a passkey. I don't think you can create a passkey without a different form of 2FA. At least...you shouldn't be able to, because that would kind of defeat the purpose.

Not really comparable. Passkeys don't replace 2FA. You need to bootstrap passkeys with 2FA.

I'm on Bazzite now. It certainly made my life easier as far as GPU drivers go.

However, be aware that it comes with its own learning curve. It's an "immutable" distro, and it has like half a dozen different ways to install software. You can't use dnf like you would on regular Fedora. The idea is to get apps from Flatpak, or use Distrobox, or use Homebrew — all things that run on top of the base OS so you can use a monolithic "immutable" OS image. There are pros and cons to this approach.

Once I familiarized myself with Distrobox (BoxBuddy makes this a lot easier) and using Flatseal to grant Flatpak apps direct access to the folders they need to operate (like my music library on an external drive, in the case of my music player), it's been pretty smooth sailing. But I do miss just being able to run sudo apt install <whatever>.

Well that sucks. You might be able to try "The Debian Way" mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades#The_Debian_way_of_upgrading

(Ubuntu is derived from Debian, which is why "the Debian way" works.)

The gist is to replace all instances of "noble" with "oracular" in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then run some commands to do the distro upgrade.
