Well, last night I finally finished Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. I clocked it at 130 hours and 5 minutes.
Boy, that game was something. I loved it, it constantly frustrated me, but in a good way. There's so much to say, so here are some random spoilery thoughts:
It's so awkward to think about how the game clearly had some established points for beginning -The Nibelheim flashback- and ending -Forgotten Capital and Aerith's death-, but also, it was dealing with what was essentially the middle chapter of the game, and it's odd because in classic JRPG -and old Final Fantasy fashion-, almost everything that's in between is less a well defined and cohesive plot, and more a collection of moments and scenes and quests belonging to disparate narratives, both personal for each character and overarching. So turning the hunt for Sephiroth into a going from point A to B and so forth in a more linear way, at the same time that the game opens each area in an modern open world way, was interesting. I'm not completely sure it managed to do that in a seemless way, but it certainly tried.
In that sense the game its worse put together than Remake, in a plot structure way. The fact that the first game in this new trilogy stayed just in Midgard, and was the most narratively straightforward part of the game's story, mean it had an easier job in how it presented that, and what parts the game could update and enhance -even with the padding of random quests that the first game had-. But now, Rebirth decided to take that other way I mentioned in the previous point, while also taking notes from Breath of the Wild, Monster Hunter and Yakuza, among many other modern influences, in the ways it presented it's world and locations, and also, in the way it gamefied every possible interaction and tried to maintain a semblance of the structure of the original while also trying to cash in on modern gaming trends.
On that note, the original FF7 had its fair share of minigames, but now, there's not a single thing that Squared didn't opted to turn into it's own thing. Why picking up mushrooms in Gongaga to help Cissnei make a special stew when you could have a minigame to pluck those mushrooms in the correct way in order to enhance the flavour? Sometimes it was a lot, way too much stuff to do and its where most of the padding on the game comes from. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing -although it's clear that not all minigames are created equal, for every amazing thing like Queen's Blood, you got some clumsy different minigame like the mushrooms one- but your mileage might vary according to how invested and attached you are to the original and the characters, in order to get to the good stuff (and the good stuff its just, incredible, but sometimes you have to sit through a couple of hours of other stuff in order to get there, like with the whole robot minigame in Cosmo Canyon, to get to the gut punch that was the ending of that questline).
I do love the way that, keeping up with the "yakuzification", doesn't take itself that seriously. It's a game that's not afraid to play silly with it's characters and some story beats in the most sincere way. Which I also think it keeps in line with the original, with its mini games and tongue in cheek humor. I think many times people, myself included, hold the original in such high steem that many forget that the game had it's fair share of silly moments (remember Tifa slapping Scarlet on top of the cannon in Junon? Red XIII in soldier uniform on the ship -now recreated and recontextualized in an amazing way-?), so seeing that same spirit being kept here in order to balance the heavy stuff of the plot was great.
Keeping with the previous point, Commander James Stephanie Sterling has a great video regarding Cait Sith in Rebirth and like, the tone of the game and it's almost iconoclast nature.
It's weird seeing a game trying to do so much things at the same time, and just swing for the fences, even if it doesn't always hit the right notes, while doing it in an earnest way. Yeah, Nomura still found it's way to overcomplicate the plot with parallel dimensions and branching timelines following the ending of Remake, and I'm still trying to fully comprehend Rebirth's ending. But I still sunk over 130 hours that left me satisfied, where I cried many times (7 actually, according to my notes) and that counts for something. And now, we begin the long wait for the 3rd part (assuming Square still follow through, like, I don't think the next game is in danger, but seeing all the drama and problems on Square at the moment, eh, we'll see)
Waiting for the soundtrack to be released completely, because surprising no one, it fucking slaps.

Keto Burguers : Portobello Mushroom, one avocado, beef patty, Sautéed onions, and BBQ sauce. Cook the patty first and then use that left over fat on the pan for the onions. Lastly, put the mushrooms on the same pan after cooking the onions and steem them for 10 mins. Remember to add cheese on top :) http://bit.ly/2F1ZxJq

So. Spring is here. Let’s get raw’king again! Spinach, bok choy, smoked salmon, mayo & tomato. Where are the purple onions that I love so much? As mentioned before, #keto is hard on me and even though it has done wonders for me (free of seizures), it’s hard to digest so I’m looking into #lowfodmap wholefoods. Therefore no onions...😔 FODMAP is short for Fermentable Oligosacharides Disacharides And Polyols Short-chain carbohydrates. Let’s only talk #ketofriendly foods. Onion, garlic, mushrooms, cabbage and cruciferous vegetables are among them. Unfortunately. Very beneficial to a lot of you (containing soluble fibers - food for your gut, sulfur, sulforaphane and many other nutritional highligts), but indigestable to some of us. Slightly steemed or fried works for me, but raw - no way. Bloating, nausea, stomachache. I’m off them for a while. Gut day to all of you! #wholefoods #plantbased #paleo #lowgidiet #lowgi #lchf #lowcarb #ketogenic #clean #raw #sugarfree #glutenfree #grainfree #goodforyourgut #brainfood #foodmedicine #foodphotography #fatsforfuel #instafood #health #nutrition #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/Buv7UNZHdbt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uobixahsogff

Food
Allright foodies, here,s the scoop. Food so far ha sbeen disappointing. Perhaps it’s because I don’t eat spicy food, or try mystert meals, bur Indonesian food was poor. Sure in Bali you could get Pizza, but I ate at a Warung(ffod stsll) andhad various rice, noodle seafood dishes that were cheap and filling. A meal cost $2. The owner kept the spice content low, but most things have some anyway, A few times I got lip burning fire breathing water gulping hot food. Could not taste the ingredients, just burning.No street stalls sold fruit, nor did I see a green vegetable in a month.On the 2 day snorkle tour it was two burner fried everything, greasy, or coated in “crispy batter” a common way to cover�� mystery meat. Also not earing beef, and rarely pork, I did limit my choices. Having seen and smelled the ,meat markets, fresh fish was afar safer choice, usualy laid on ice for picking and cooked instantly on charcoal fires. Always rice; some thick and glutinous, some fluffy and tasteless, some crunchy. I never found salads or vegetables. Are French Fries a vegetable? Too much fried food,sugar, msg, chili.
Penang Malysia, after one month of travel, food improved dramatically. Now there was fruit at streetstands, and Chiese food or their version of it. Still rice, still stir fried, but with, carrots, tomatoes, onions cabbage , sprouts. I ate :chicken rice” in a one choice restuarant filled with happy gobblimgand gabbling locals. Big bowl of noodles, chopped veggies, garlic, and a lot of sliced roasted chicken breast. Served with a bowl of watery cabbage soup to sliuce down the grease. $2.50 My favorite place was a night time only street cookery, with tiny plastic stools around tinier tables, where everyone shared the places. In my ignorance, I asked “Chicken? Fish” The harrassed waitresspaused from screaming some order to the cook to grunt,,”No English!” The fellow at my table said,,”Pig!” Look! I went to where the two cooks shrouded in steam slapped gobs of noodles into bowls and passed tham to the prep cook who dashed on some dumpling, chopped greens and a bit of bbq pork, them topped it all of with boiling hot soup. The waitrees slung them along and when plunked in front of me spoke enough English to say”20Baht($2) Clearly no one could dine and dash here. I paid, and watched by my grinning table mate, I ate a heavenly delicious meal.
Thailand, and an order of magnitude in quality. Fresh crisply cooked broccoli in oyster sauce, omeletes filled with chopped veg, fresh seafood, cooked just right, strange glutinous noodles, and reconstituted mushrooms, chewy but very flavorful. The chicken does come with a slather of hot sauce, but that peels off, leaving a few hot spots to tickle the tongue. There is MSG in the soup, but not much. And fruit of all descritions: mangoes, bannanas, papaya,starfruit,melon, and fruit on steems like grapes with a peeloff papery cover, sweet and with segmented seeds, mangosteens, mandarins, of yes I have tried them all.
Sanitation? I wipe my utensils off, avoid dodgy places where they wash the dishes in greasy buckets at thecurb before reusing them, and generally use intuition, often passing places for no obvious reason than a feeling. Wish I’d listened to that inne voicelast week, when. hungry, I ate what they said was chicken sausage. Cramps, bloating, fever, trots etc. As soon as I got to Krabi I went to a drugstore with my google translator and got some erfuzide capsules, an antibacterial, which cleared everything up in days. I have higher dose pills for dysentery, but this never got that far, just some local bug.
So food keps gettingbetter, I keep trying new stuff, and use my instinct. Bring on the next bowl of rice!

The BRAVO Event in Operation Castle was an experimental thermonuclear device, 15-megaton weapons related surface event detonated on Bikini Atoll; an enormous bell of a condensation cloud hangs over the mushroom cloud. This was the view from an Air Force observation plane. Digitally restored.
Wendy McElroy is ready for most doomsday scenarios: a one-year supply of nonperishable food is stacked in a cellar at her farm in rural Ontario. Her blueprint for survival also depends upon working internet: part of her money, assuming she needs some after civilization collapses, is in bitcoin.
Across the North American countryside, preppers like McElroy are storing more and more of their wealth in invisible wallets in cyberspace instead of stockpiling gold bars and coins in their bunkers and basement safes.
They won’t be able to access their virtual cash the moment a catastrophe knocks out the power grid or the web, but that hasn’t dissuaded them. Even staunch survivalists are convinced bitcoin will endure economic collapse, global pandemic, climate change catastrophes and nuclear war.
“I consider bitcoin to be a currency on the same level as gold,” McElroy, who lives on the farm with her husband, said by email. “It allows individuals to become self-bankers. When I fully understood the concepts and their significance, bitcoin became a fascination.”
At first glance, it seems counter-intuitive that some of bitcoin’s most ardent proponents are people motivated by the belief that public infrastructure will collapse in times of social and political distress. Bitcoin isn’t yet widely accepted as a method of payment and steep transaction costs make it inconvenient to use at vendors that do take it.
Preppers, as it happens, have a different perspective on what they see as the money of the future, which has surged 10-fold in the past 12 months as supporters lauded it as a digital alternative to rival the dollar, euro or yen.
Used to send and receive payments online, bitcoin is similar to payment networks like PayPal or Mastercard, the difference being that it runs on a decentralized network—blockchain—that’s beyond the control of central banks and regulators. It was born out of an anti-establishment vision of a government-free society, a key attraction for those seeking unhindered access to their capital in case a massive shock shuts down the banking system.
“People see bitcoin prices going to the moon. No one thinks gold is going to the moon”
“Not too long ago, people in the prepper community were actively warning against crypto, and now they’re all investing in it,” said Tom Martin, a truck driver from Washington who runs a social-media website for people interested in learning skills to survive disaster. “As long as the grid stays up, people will keep using bitcoin.”
In addition to gold, silver and stocks, Martin invests in bitcoin and peers litecoin and steem because they’re easier to travel with, harder to steal and offer better protection in the event of the kind of societal breakdown that would unfold if a fiat currency like the dollar collapsed.
He’s among those confident that bitcoin can withstand even a complete blackout through the strength of the underlying blockchain, the anonymous public bookkeeping technology that records every single bitcoin transaction.
Discussions on the pros and cons of investing in crypto have popped up on survivalist forums like mysurvivalforum.com and survivalistboards.com this year as bitcoin rallied above $7,000. “Buy bitcoin” is now a more popular search phrase than “buy gold” on Google.
The buzz is starting to impinge on gold’s role as a store of value especially since, like the precious metal, there’s a finite supply of bitcoin, which proponents say gives it anti-inflationary qualities. Sales of gold coins from the U.S. Mint slid to a decade low in the first three quarters months of 2017.
“It’s definitely had some impact on the market,” Philip Newman, who does research on precious-metal coin sales and is one of the founders of research firm Metals Focus, said by phone from Washington. “People see bitcoin prices going to the moon. No one thinks gold is going to the moon.”
To attract investors who traditionally buy gold, several digital assets, like Royal Mint Gold and Anthem Gold, have been developed that are backed by physical gold stored in vaults.
Still, it’s hard to envision people walking around spending digital coins to buy Spam, canned beans or bottled water at a local supermarket when they don’t have electricity at home to charge their smart phones, let alone a working internet connection to access their digital wallets.
“I doubt bitcoin is a safe haven from an extreme-risk environment. In that sense, bitcoin isn’t gold,” said , the London-based chief investment officer at Newscape Capital Advisors Ltd., which invests in cryptocurrencies and is building a price-discovery platform for them.
Bitcoin has also not reached the critical mass to be considered a viable currency to invest in, UBS Group AG’s Mark Haefele said in an interview. The total sum of all cryptocurrencies is “not even the size of some of the smaller currencies’’ that UBS would allocate to, he said.
Preppers, though, stock enough food and supplies to sustain them for months, if not years, and they expect whatever governing structure emerges post-calamity will prioritize getting the web back up and running.
“It may be difficult, if not impossible to access for a while, but once things start returning to some level of normality, then the blockchain will return as it was before the disaster,” said Rob Harvey, a bitcoin investor who prepares for natural and nuclear catastrophes by learning and teaching survival skills, like making a fire. “The blockchain does not need a specific place or a specific person to survive—that’s a strong survival tactic.”
“It is a people’s currency”
Interest in cryptocurrencies has started permeating the mainstream. When Morris surveyed hundreds of executives attending the London Bullion Market Association’s annual conference last month, one in 10 said they’d rather own bitcoin than gold following a nuclear war.
Along the fringe, the 20,000 libertarians expected to converge on New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project are also switching from precious metals. They like bitcoin because it isn’t created by a government, unlike conventional currency.
“You can use bitcoin for economic transactions in a way that gold was never designed to do because it’s a physical thing—it’s heavy,” Matt Philips, the project’s president, said by phone. “A lot of people don’t know what the heck to do with gold if you give it to them in exchange for a cup of coffee.”
Whatever doom-and-gloom scenario unfolds, McElroy, from Canada, has faith in bitcoin. She’s writing a book called Satoshi Revolution, inspired by the pseudonym of the person or people who created bitcoin in 2009 as an answer to the financial turmoil wrought by the global financial crisis.
She says the digital currency breaks society’s dependence on a state that uses its monopoly over the issuance of money to dominate the economy, making it a natural hedge against disaster.
“It is a people’s currency,” she writes in the book’s introduction. “Bitcoins move seamlessly through a world without states or borders, obeying only the command of individuals who choose to deal with each other. Immune to currency manipulation and inflation, they do not serve the powerful elites at the expense of average people.”
