I remember during my early years there was a world wide fear about the upcoming test of a new Hydrogen Bomb. People feared that it might ignite the world’s atmosphere.
Nothing is exactly like Chrono Trigger, it’s in a league of its own as one of the best games of all time.
Final Fantasy 6 was released around the same time on SNES, and many people debate whether Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6 are better, because they’re both great. 4, 5, and 6 are all really good. The Lufia series is also great.
From the same era but with much different gameplay is Terranigma, and there’s also the Legend of Mana series.
More modern examples of games that want to invoke Chrono Trigger are Septerra Core and Anachronox. Both are PC games, but they’re old enough that any reasonably modern PC can likely play them at full speed.
FF6 is such a great game. I saved up and bought both of these games as a kid, lots of late nights irrigating fields and killing rattlesnakes to get those titles. Both titles were great in their own way and I can’t imagine my childhood without them. Another great game was Secret of Evermore.
I know there’s all the controversy over disc 2 being rushed, but I never minded at all. It actually felt kinda refreshing after the way that most rpgs went at the time. It was all about seeing the characters change and grow over time that was really satisfying for me
There is a game coming out next month called Sea of Stars by the devs who made The Messenger. No idea how it will stack up against the greats but it’s looking really good from what I’ve seen. It even has Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger composer) contributing some track.s.
I hate that. One of the reasons I dislike Samsung phones. Last phone from them was a Note 8 and unless they go back to a pure Android experience, I won’t get another. We know that isn’t happening any time soon.
Honestly I’m super over all our current choices. Im on an iPhone and while I like their privacy stuff slightly better than android, there are lots of things I don’t like.
I also hate how much metadata the big G snorts up. Even just the location data they retain is out of this world.
There just aren’t any options if you want something that doesn’t keep you boxed into a closed ecosystem or track every love you make.
You can get a Google pixel and sideload an operating system such as Grapheneos, and you won’t have to deal with any of Google’s bs spying. Highly recommend looking into it.
At that point why not just using Samsung phone and sideload the OS? Seems weird to do that on Pixel which has inferior hardware and good software (like its camera apps), and then remove the software
Simple reason being that there’s no notoriously good OS for Samsung phones.
Graphene is highly focused on not being annoying while keeping privacy intact. You can, for example, have Google Play Services, within a sandbox. Everything can be denied network access, or any access really, on a per app basis.
It also relies on Google’s security chip to keep the chain of trust intact. The boot sequence and your private keys are kept intact that way. Not everyone documents and opens their hardware as well as Google. Samsung is notoriously terrible and full of it when it comes to allowing you to do your own thing.
You can run Google Play services on GrapheneOS it’s called Sanboxed Google Play. It allows you to run Play services as a normal app without any special privileges so you can install it without sacrificing all of your phones data to google. Should allow you to use pretty much all Google apps.
This isn’t enough for work apps that require Android Device Policy unfortunately. When I researched it in November I found that it would require too many permissions so GrapheneOS isn’t planning on supporting it.
What about the fairphones? I was reading up on them and might get one. I like that they come with an android fork and open-source apps so you don’t have to deal with Google. Plus being fully repairable and sustainably-made. Does anyone have any experience with them?
wtf do you go with for a quality hardware android reasonably priced? LG got out of the phone game which sucks ass. Pixel can be great but they are all flagship prices. Samsung, while having horrible shit like this, is quality hardware and has lots of models under $200.
Very much reminds me of an album cover by How To Destroy Angels: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Destroy_Angels_(How_to_Destroy_Angels_EP)#/media/File:HTDA_single.jpg
Well, the spaying surgery wasn’t on this bill yet. We still gotta get a new litter box, some toys. If the epsom salts and current medications don’t treat the infection in her little paw, she might need a surgery there as well. Still some unknowns.
So we already have 3 cats. We didn’t anticipate having to keep this little one, but now, because we couldn’t find her a home, we now have 4 cats to attend to.
And I will definitely be snuggling her. She’s had a rough day today and is a little cranky, so she is having a much needed nap lol.
