Making my way through FF16. According to the PS5 dashboard completion percentage I'm at about 70% complete right now. So I might be able to finish over the weekend, but having a six-year-old at home might make that harder to accomplish.

Either way, I'm really enjoying it despite it being absolutely archaic in terms of its actual game design. It's really carried by its presentation, soundtrack, and decent story. They've arguably stripped away too much of what typically defines a Final Fantasy game here, but I'm still having a great time by just choosing to appreciate what it does do well.

It's B all day. Close the polls because it ain't even close.

I've tried them all, and as of right now Connect feels the most polished and feature rich. So that's my recommendation.

[-] ScOULaris@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Nah. It's morbidly interesting IMO.

[-] ScOULaris@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Lol. I read this in an entirely different context, like you were implying that they'd go to hell for this.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread because I would also love to know if I'm missing out on some good games journalism out there. Sadly, sites like what you've described are increasingly rare in the modern era. Nevertheless, here are a few that come to mind:

NintendoLife is pretty great for this if you're looking for Nintendo-related news, reviews, interviews, and feature articles.

One of their affiliate sites, Time Extension, is also really good for long-form articles and retrospectives about retro games.

And while it's mostly just news, like you said, Polygon will sometimes surprise you with some really excellent feature articles that have a lot of thought and research put into them.

Yeah, that surprised me, actually.

I just took Mastodon for a spin only a week or so ago, and it felt much less active than most of the communities on here do. Just my anecdotal experience, though. I couldn't find more than a handful of Twitter-migrated accounts on Mastodon that I cared to follow. There just wasn't much happening on there that I'm interested in when I last checked. I'll look again.

Oh hell yeah they are. I'm a tech enthusiast, myself. Don't even get me started on Wednesdays because I'll never stop.

That's a comfy-ass picture right there.

As a Floridian currently enduring 100-degree weather and 90% humidity, my jealousy knows no bounds.

Haha, yeah. I think that's the intent of those first two panels.

But then the last two subvert expectations and reveal that it was about data modeling all along! 😲

[-] ScOULaris@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Is this an assumption or can someone else confirm this? I just started using Connect, so I'd love to know for sure.

Thanks. I've tried all of the options suggested in this thread so far, and this one seems to be the best for search/discovery.
