Back when the original released it was a great RPG with a great story and a world that felt alive, compared to most other RPG that were on the market. The world was open to explore from the begining without any safeguards to run into strong monsters, which helped the emersion a lot. The controls were strange, but worked somehow, when you got used to it. Combat was challenging and the leveling was rewarding, because you got notably stronger. I hope the remake is good and translates these strength into the modern age.

Thank you for the tip. I like the idea of thumb key. I think it will take some time to get used to it. But I will also give it a try and see if it sticks.

Thanks for the tip. This really seems like a good option. I will give it a try.

Sounds like a good solution with a reasonable price for storage. I am a little sceptical, when I read good privacy and ai picture search on the same page. Is this possible without the provider having full access to all the data?

Same for me. The start of the game was great. The difficulty just right. But most of the new characters are too strong. I stopped playing after I unlocked the duo upgrade, because there was simply no challenge left. I enjoyed it long enough to still recommend it for the price, but i feel like there is so much of the game left and I am somehow sorry I will never play it…

I hope they follow through with it. And I also hope they allow for quick incremental changes instead of aiming for the perfect solution right away that will take a decade to develop and implement. Just to be clear, I think it should be the far goal to be fully independent from US and other non-EU software.

Everyone was happy when they could outsource dirty and labor-intensive jobs to China and benefit from the cheap products. China gladly took on these tasks and built a monopoly. Now, it is the sole source for most minerals and rare earth elements because everyone else stopped producing them. China is now moving up the value chain, processing these raw materials into higher-value products. However, the world has become so dependent on China’s mineral supplies that countries cannot block trade with China without risking their own production halts, since China could also stop selling the materials they rely on. This is already happening with rare earth minerals and other critical resources like tungsten.

Only way put of this would be a long time strategic investment into local manufacturing capacities, but it will cost a lot and take a lot of time. And China will dump the prices until those companies go out of business again and then we are back at the start. Happened with solar, is happening with batteries, I wonder what will be next…

Somehow, statistics rarely reflect the massive trade surplus the U.S. enjoys in digital services. Link The country deliberately shifted its focus away from manufacturing, outsourcing production globally. With the freed-up capacity, it built a digital empire that generates billions of dollars annually.

The catch? This digital surplus flows almost exclusively into the pockets of a few corporate leaders. Meanwhile, the majority of people are left with shrinking incomes from former manufacturing jobs, jobs that once distributed wealth more evenly across small businesses and the workforce.

At least the French are fighting back. Hope they are successful.
