    Easy and Normal are perfectly fine, and the game as a whole is fantastic, but...Hard really could've been dialled back some, IMO. Not the fun kind of "challenge", like boss fights in Easy/Normal.

    In my case, I'm currently playing FF7 Remake, and Hard mode...ugh. Horrible - enemies are not only damage sponges, but deal a crapton of damage, and consumable items are disabled (no using Potions, Ethers, or Phoenix Downs), and benches no longer restore MP. I get the tougher enemies, but the...

    It sounds like I'm the same way regarding challenge - a game built around "challenge" isn't a game I tend to enjoy, not without infinite-health cheats to remove the frustration and wasted time.

    I think everyone's had burnout at some time, and it never feels good - look after yourself, sark; try to reach out to family and friends, if possible, and getting a good psychologist can help too (certainly is for me).

    We need nuclear plants. Far better in every conceivable aspect. Safer, healthier, produce far more energy, and designed to failsafe in a whole bunch of different ways. People should learn about them, and stop fearing them over old accidents that we've learned from.

    And sure, there have been nuclear plant incidents before, like in Russia and Japan, but Chernobyl was decades ago and caused by willingly ignoring safety procedures to meet deadlines, and Japan's was caused by a tsunami - not any fault of the plant itself, and the workers did everything they...

    Between the countless oil spills, air pollution, and greenhouse gases, fossil fuels are by far the worst, yet they remain the main source of energy due to society's unwillingness to change, to actually accept and combat how horribly harmful they are. Fossil fuel plants have killed far more...

    Nuclear power is WAY more "green" than fossil fuels, and far safer as well. "Safer", I say? Yes indeed - proper handling doesn't result in air pollution, and waste can be safely disposed of. Nuclear should be our main form of energy, alongside sun/wind/water. It does not deserve the bad rap it's...

    Launch trailer for 'Sand Land' aired

    I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2. There everything is soft and smooth.

    Editorial Almost everything I hoped it would be - a week with the 2024 Zenbook Duo

    No numpad, huh? That's unfortunate; when it comes to Windows laptops, I've gotten spoiled by machines with numpads. Also, I just read that the keyboard is separate; so by itself the Zenbook Duo is a pair of screens, huh...that's certainly interesting. Both of them are touchscreens, I take it...

    'Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes' is now available

    Regardless of what ProJared might've said in his "must-buy" video, I would not recommend picking this game up. Just like Unicorn Overlord, this game has unfortunately been ruined by politically-minded localisers - Link 1, Link 2. I hate how so much of Japanese media these days is being tainted...

    Clamshell handheld gaming PCs AYANEO FLIP KB & DS begin crowdfunding campaign

    I would've been interested in this...if it wasn't built after Xbox gamepads, and instead mimicked the Nintendo DS/3DS. Y'know, with the lettered buttons. Also, aligned thumbpads, like with the Wii and Wii U controllers. As it is, noooo thanks. Fucked up the design. "Intuitive" my ass, for those...

    I'm seeing a psychologist tomorrow, but right now I'm living for my family, and to play games. I'd survive solely for those two things, if I could, but apparently finding employment is important despite that being a major component of my depression and anxiety...

    2024 has been nothing but pure misery for me. Serious mental health issues, my two-year graduate-job contract expiring, can't find a new job, no new chuggaaconroy LPs or Death Battle vids to bring periodic happiness...at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if my grandparents or dog die at some...

    I'd still be supporting the Boy Scouts, if it still existed, is the main point; it was a fantastic, one-of-a-kind service for developing, young male minds.

    Not "Boy Scouts" - just "Scouts". Just like with most other boy-only activities and venues, it's been forcibly neutralised because of SeXiSm; Girl Guides, or even separate Girl Scouts, aren't enough to satisfy misandrists. And what a major loss that is; it's healthy for boys to spend time away...

    My biggest problem with the Boy Scouts is that it...really doesn't exist anymore, as it's since become open to girls as well as boys. I really hate this, as it robs young boys of a venue where they could hang out with only other boys and have fun adventuring together - primary school is almost...

    I used to be part of the Scouts, here in Sydney, when I was young. Unfortunately, I don't have any solid memories of that time, which is a shame.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
