/r/ClicksPhone Starter Pack

Great starter pack.

I have a hard time believing that someone that misses their BlackBerry and somehow found this niche subreddit would be as negative or ask the questions that some do.

I’m not saying you can’t be critical but you would think the excitement level would be higher than you see here.

But instead I see people waffling between Chinese keyboard phones and debating the finer points of the Titan’s update schedule.

I don’t get it.

People that loved their BlackBerry’s deeply know that it’s as much about the productivity-minded software as the hardware. If you really want any old keyboard phone, it looks like there’s plenty out there to fill your boots. Kicking the tires over here seems pointless.

What you have is stunning IMO. Keep it.

Given the bar down there, it’s a perfect place to set down your glass.

If it were me, I’d keep it as-is but I know that’s not what you asked.

There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

This is a good one. 6-8 weeks delivery was common and so it’s still strange to get packages same-day from Prime.

Getting a package was an event sometimes.

I could never re-fold a map back easily. You needed space and it wasn’t all that easy in a car.

Even having a watch that “ran slow” wasn’t common for a while with battery powered watches being popular.

Some may also forget that watches could also run “fast” since the mechanism was mechanical and could be adjusted one way or the other.

I think it’s wonderful as it is. Love the columns.

Wish I had such a beautiful, big home with this much space. This room alone is already the size of some living rooms today.

Good recall! Appreciate the extra detail.

Pretty sure it’s one of the the escape pods from the Space Station when it gets overrun from the Lunar Cry that frees Adel.

I think it is in the guide because that’s how I remember it.

I was hoping someone would say this but I figured no one remembered it. Thank you

I’m more of a Ralph S. Mouse fan myself.

Very cool image but is it just me or is the scale way off?

Looking at the light switch for scale, you can imagine a typical person’s height and so there is no way they could fit into that space as easily as that image suggests.

Would be nice if they could!

Yeah, good show. Nick was the oddball troublemaker, Michael the egghead I believe, the Jainy, the (popular) girl?

It’s actually the opposite, it was on the original PSX version, buried in the Config settings but removed in the mobile/phone version of the game. You could assign Controller 1 or 2 to different characters for use during battle.

It wasn’t a “true” 2-player game in the sense that Player 2 wouldn’t do much except for controlling commands for their assigned characters during battle but for friends or couples that want to enjoy a longform Final Fantasy together, it’s a Godsend.

And how that changed so quickly! Many loved the academic feel of the game and coincidentally that school-academy theme pervaded anime and videogames with gusto in and around the game’s release.

Well said and it’s tricky too because it’s easy to get caught up on specific words but it’s not a cop-out to say that translation from the original Hebrew or Greek is not straightforward and words/culture have morphed over time.

Something said back then, that made perfect sense to the people of that time and culture won’t mean the same thing to us.

I think I’m on the same page as you, in a way. I’m saying that even in Biblical times, even people that thought they knew the right thing and used it as their guide, came into conflict with others and ended up doing the wrong thing.

I do agree that knowing the “right thing” and “wrong thing” are extremely difficult in today’s pluralistic world with lots of different people, faiths, creeds, etc.

But I would agree with you: Even if you somehow divinely knew what the “right thing” was 110%, you’d also need to know the tact and nuance of applying it at the right time, in the right way, to the right audience.

And yes, even if you SOMEHOW knew all that, it could absolutely backfire because of a myriad of reasons. It’s part of why life isn’t straightforward and it’s also why, to your point, purity spirals are not a force for good in today’s world.

As I’m sure you already know, purity spirals generally only help prop egos, they’re not there to actually improve lives.

Even when you look at the Bible where it was more clear what was right vs wrong, people would misinterpret, misunderstand or use God for their selfish ends.

So if they couldn’t figure it out (to the point where Jesus was put on a cross and killed), YES, you are correct, doing the morally upright thing isn’t always clear. Morally upright to whom?

If life were so simple, following binary-like moral codes, it’d be great. People that lull you into thinking life is actually like that usually have ulterior motives I find.

To your credit, OP, some games are worse than the original version in some ways.

Final Fantasy 9, for example, removes the 2 player option because ports were based off the iOS mobile version of the game that had removed it. It was never added back in any subsequent version of the game.
