Anyways I booted up Rebirth and all of a sudden I had played 5 hours and it was time for bed, so that's a good sign

I made the decision to just play FFVII Rebirth without finishing Remake. I don't remember how far I got into Remake but I remember wondering when we'd get to the fireworks factory the entire time. Everytime Cloud slowed down to a leisurely stroll to let characters talk at you I wanted to die

I used to lurk 4chan a lot for years but came to the realization that constant exposure to the most toxic people alive was doing a lot of damage to my mental health so I left. Then I left Twitter for the same reason. Now the entire internet is like this, you can't escape it

I'm 33 and I'm just going to have to live with never replicating the guitar tone on Billy Talent II

Now for some entirely subjective anecdotal bullshit. This feels like Final Fantasy in a way XV, XVI and FFVIIR doesn't for me and I wonder if the backlash in the west taught them all the wrong lessons. Also music is genuinely 10/10, Masashi Hamauzu is the GOAT.

In the end yes the game is great once you understand what it was even trying to do, but I can't say the backlash wasn't deserved. It feels like Square went into this way too confident that people would either "get it" immediately or trust them enough to stick with it until they did.

Biggest critique is of course how linear it feels, notice how I say feels because linearity isn't exactly an issue in and of itself. Final Fantasy X was linear as well, XIII just doesn't bother with hiding it lol. All shops and save points being shoved into the same node really highlights this

The combat is amazing but seems entirely too easy and automated early on until they finally trust you enough to actually control all the parameters that make the system complex and engaging. It blends strategy and action but early on it feels like neither lmao

It's just funny to me how little effort they made trying to keep your attention early on, the story is written in such an alienating fashion, which makes it feel incredibly complicated when it isn't.

No game will ever get this much benefit of the doubt from me as Final Fantasy XIII has. Like pretty much everyone else I hated it 15 years ago for all the common reasons. Since then I've of course learned that it's secretly great and now when I'm 20 hours in I finally get it.

Dude the PS5 version looks so much better, check out this 516x193 image

This image on the Final Fantasy VII Remake wiki page made me laugh

They already broke the glass on that one

I just wasted an hour trying to make a list of my favorite albums. I started out with a 3x3 grid lmao (no particular order, just numbered for readability)

I'm not saying AI generated music can't be good but there is literally no artistry about it and you didn't make it. It's not democratizing art, art is already available for everyone to pursue, millions do and never see a dime from it yet keep doing it because fame and fortune was never the point.

I enjoy making and having made music, there's nothing that excites me as much. How can having a machine generate something for you be fun and satisfy you creatively? I don't think there's such a thing as an AI artist.

What really confuses me about AI music is how some people literally just do AI music for the sake of doing it. I assumed that it'd be used as an alternative to stock music for stuff like movies and video games, I mean I wasn't thrilled about it but at least I understood the utility in that regard.

New jam in progress

What an interesting Humble Bundle. Wouldn't it be funny if Lunistice was part of it? 😏

DRM only punishes the people who actually pay, pretty much all software is still cracked and available to pirates only it's WAY LESS of a hassle to install and use.

Changes in website membership, updates, legacy versions hidden or just unavailable, keys ONLY received ONCE on e-mail years ago that don't even work because they've changed the format for the keys.

This is just me venting my frustrations, but I just got a new PC and I've bought a lot of software in the past 15 years I've been making music. Good lord so many companies really make the legal route inconvenient

After Piquancy ran Lunistice on Flame Fatales I gained like a 100 followers on Spotify.

Either someone decided to bot follow me at the exact date when a game I composed for got exposure or smaller artists are not allowed to get a lot of followers at once because those followers were removed

Got a new family member!

I was this close to cutting "echo" from VGR, I decided not to because "Fields" is one of few songs that people have told me is their fav and I cut that song from Whoop.

Lo and behold Echo has been singeled out as a fav which is so funny, if I think something is a good idea I should do the opposite

I mean that's fine I'm sure Tom can do it even though his dad won't be there

Really looking forward to just putting out singles as I make them for a while

I'm in the last month of Metaphor Refantazio and dude these fucking dragons dawg

I had to lower the difficulty to easy for one of them and I still just barely made it
