    Just beat Final Fantasy 7 Remake... It was good, but like, not enough? Feels like the entire game was like five plot points. In the context of it being Part 1/3 it's fine, but knowing I'd have to wait years for the next part would leave me feeling incredibly unfulfilled.

    I'll play Rebirth when it comes to PC in a few weeks, but honestly if anybody on here hasn't played Remake yet, I'd really say to wait for all three parts to drop. Seems the best way to approach these.

    Finally looking to get into Pocket Monsters「ポケモン」 Seeing as you've got experience with the franchise, what would you say is the best way to do so?

    @Marusu There is also Pokémon (heart)gold and (soul)silver which have 2 entire regions

    Firered and Leafgreen are the place to start tbh

    To the two suggestions above, I dunno... HGSS scale horribly and need a lot more grinding to just get to the end of the game. FRLG just feel horridly slow, and Kanto as a region is just drab in my mind. They're both good, but they both just fall slightly short for me.

    Would there be any interest in a review of the M4 Mac Mini? Would have to buy it out of pocket so really just seeing if it's something people would be interested in before putting the cash down.

    Maybe a gaming-focused review could be interesting, like what kinds of games can it be coerced to play/emulate and is it a good purchase compared to a similarly priced Windows mini PC
    Scarlet
    Scarlet
    Something I'm personally interested in is how cross-system apps perform. I already have Disgaea 1/4, Divinity 2, and a few others that should be compatible with the M4. Baldur's Gate 3 apparently supports MacOS too, so I could have a decent swath of compatible games already. Assuming Steam is fine running games from an external SSD on MacOS... That 256GB internal SSD isn't going to cut it for much lol

    External SSD for Steam should be fine as long as its a filesystem that macOS can recognise (I don't remember which ones those are off the top of my head)
    Scarlet
    hot damn the M4 Mac Mini is insane value at £600, I'd be shocked if any Windows Mini PCs came close to that value for a good while.

    You could get a deal on an oldish mini pc with like ~12th gen intel or ryzen ~6000 series but the mac mini would still be smaller and have more raw compute with less power consumption
    Scarlet
    Scarlet
    The older Windows ones do win out on storage and RAM too in fairness (particularly in both being upgradeable if you do cheap out in the first place) but man if you have an external SSD lying around the 256GB of the Mac Mini (while still definitely bad) is tolerable.

    Any interest in an editorial/review of the new iPad Mini that's releasing next week?

    If you really want to, I think you could reach a tad bit wider audience if you also try out the Apple Pencil on it (if you have one), if it feels different to use on this than from others (if you have the others).
    Scarlet
    Scarlet
    I do have the pencil, but I’m pretty sure everything is the same outside of the internals. I think the pen on screen feel really varies by the screen protector you stick on more than anything.

    Have you considered that the anime girl is what sabotaged your SSD???

    I think I found the issue.
    The issue is that you're using the Aoi Edition and not the Shizuku Edition!

    Well... That's some kind of progress just from opening up the PC and reseating the SSD...

    It's a musical about a child's train set coming to life for a race. All the cast are on rollerskates though, it's really something to watch. You can see some clips from it here:

    Out of all recent Samsung Devices that you've done an review on, which one has to be your favorite and why? Yesterday I've gotten the s24 Ultra, and the device compared to my previous a50 has been a BLAST. I've been utilizing everything that has been advertised and everything works like a charm.

    That probably got a better use than my older phone now, this one is a significant upgrade.

    I don’t buy Samsung stuff so uhhhhhh lol, I think the only thing I have from them is an A series tablet, and I do like the UI a lot. It definitely put the S series tablets on my radar in the future.

    @SylverReZ bruh this reminds me of the Galaxy Note 7....
    That was definitely one of the smart(granade)phones ever released

    Collar X Malice was the first game I reviewed for GBAtemp! Feels super nostalgic to be replaying it on such a Vita-esque handheld (though I am emulating the Switch version, not the Vita one!)

    Because it can run beyond SNES and SEGA Genesis? lol

    You're thinking of the cheaper handhelds in the sub-$100 range. For $150-200ish you can get decent GameCube and PS2 support. This one cost $400 and has a chipset capable of all GameCube, Wii, PS2, and basically as much Switch as current emulators are capable of.

    Well I have only ever seen the sub-100$ ones so that makes sense

    Well, @Xdqwerty now you know two people whom has a mid-high handheld tier, like me, and a high-end handheld tier, like Scarlet.
    Scarlet
    Hot damn, the Odin 2 dock is genuinely so perfect for the iPad Mini. Four USB ports, HDMI out, ethernet, and charging. And on top of that, an internal slot for an M.2 SSD! Was originally going to use the dock to store my Switch games to swap onto the Odin 2 Mini, but at this point I might just make it a media hub.

    It's an android device with a high end chip from 2022 (snapdragon 8gen2), of course it can play GCN - you could get a phone from 5-6 years ago that could also for cheaper if on a budget

    My pixel 3 ran those games and those are pretty cheap used nowadays - mine just sits in a bin

    Yeah the KT-R1 I was using mainly before this could handle a decent amount of GameCube, and that only had a G99 in it. Phone hardware is pretty damn powerful nowadays.
