I really miss replaceable batteries in my phones. It was so good to just swap an empty battery out for a fully charged one. Glad to see that making a return.

Then why don't they just alter the algorithm or remove any coin-related influence? The average redditor does not care/know that gilded posts reach the top.

When was the last time such an acquisition led to something positive for gamers?

I am all for timed exclusives if that means Microsoft or Sony help funding the game that wouldn't have the budget otherwise. However I am against acquisitions, be it from Microsoft or from Sony.

I can only speak for myself here of course, but it doesn't matter to me if an app is open or closed source. What matters is having a nice experience. I am currently very happy with Liftoff and I didn't even know it was open source.

If another app comes along with new or better features, I will try it out and maybe even switch, regardless of whether it is closed or open source. And if they have an attractive pay model for interesting features, why not?

We need to see how it all plays out. What about the Lemmy instances themselves? Especially the larger ones need to make money too. Can they survive solely on donations like Wikipedia, or do they have to run ads at some point in the future?

FFVII was my first title too. I was still in elementary school back then, but I had a blast playing it together with my friends after school. Obviously, I replayed it when I was older and understood the systems better. It wasn't until FFX that I played another FF game. While it was fun, it's not my favourite.

I played FFXIII this year for the first time on my PS5, and I have to say it's a real contender for my favourite FF game. The characters are well-developed, the storyline is great, and I've spent more time on Triple Triad than I want to admit.

A few years ago I went to the graveyard to visit my late godfather during the day. On the way out I noticed a woman walking on a parallel pathway. She had bright white clothes on. So I walked, looked over to her and for a short moment my line of sight was blocked from a tree between us. After that moment she was just gone.

That being said, I didn't believe in ghosts and I still don't believe in them. There sure is a perfectly fine explanation. However, you can bet that I bolted from that graveyard.

I missed a lot of entries in the series but I do love FF6 and FF7 (the original one) the most. I played the remake and while it is a masterpiece in itself I am not a fan of the battle system.

The original GTA for PS1, Super Mario world and Yoshi's Island. Mainly because these were my first video games that I can remember and I have fond memories of them.

You should have done it before deleting using something like shreddit to automate the process. Nevertheless, good that you have taken the step.

Advance Wars and the Fire Emblem games helped me pass the time when I was in hospital. All of them are just great I recommend playing them if you haven't already.
