Nah. Dan probably asked a Dan question, Mike probably screeched some, Jan probably had magnificent hair, and Grubb probably... Grubbed. I got nothing on that last one.

So much weird shit is going to be eaten for our entertainment.

Tangentially, I hope there's a new Steam Deck sometime soon and Starfield is supported. I like what I've played but I can't see the writing for crap on a PC.

Oh nice! Playing the Oblivion remaster right now but AC is up there for games this year I want to play. Only been one or two in series I bounced off of.

Is that the new AC? Neat costumes.

It is fundamentally dreadful storytelling and that's what irritates me. FFVII Rebirth does so much right that the stuff they do wrong is astoundingly egregious.

Every new character is universally varying degrees of bad. Every new plot element misses the mark. New story beats are often shoved into parts of the story where highly emotional things happen, as if they need to remind the player that this isn't the old FFVII.

But everything that deviates from the original game screams amateurish to such a degree that I'm still sort of angry about it twelve hours later. It's not that I care that they tried new things, that's whatever. It's how awful all those things are, through and through.

I usually don't really care if a remake of something is bad because the original exists. But Rebirth offends me on a weirdly professional level. There is no reason the new stuff added to that game should be this degree of awful, not if they hired professional writers.

Rorie, this is how bar fights start.

I picked up the first few on Audible last month because I apparently have 30,000 hours to spare to listen to them.

That's a great haul!
