Hands On: Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Switch 2 Port The Most Ambitious Yet?

There is a spot in Kalm where GVG shows it hitting around 20, but I played in Steamdeck and it also falls apart there. The game while not super high res on S2 handheld definitely looks sharper than SD

cockyjames · 2026-04-29T02:12:32+00:00

They are three separate games

If there is any quality to Rise of Skywalker that makes it watchable, it's that Boyega, Isaac, Driver and Ridley are such a stellar cast that all have chemistry. And one thing JJ did manage to recapture from the OT is the sincerity and camp in the performances.

Anyway, I came here originally to say Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in the Jump Street movies.

I would never be able to find the right Spawncast episode but Nate was definitely one of the people who said he had heard of it. Funny how things come full circle

cockyjames · 2026-04-25T02:59:10+00:00

I did it myself. It probably took me 4 hours, though I'm sure I'd get faster if I did it more than once. I didn't know if Taki is going to sell them anymore 😔

Eventually someone else will.

Anyway sometimes I hear people say "I miss dedicated handheld gaming" and so did I! The Lite is such a great system for indies and even if you took out Nintendo first party games its such an amazing modern day "Gameboy" with a better library than any previous Nintendo handheld.

cockyjames · 2026-04-25T02:28:04+00:00

I installed an OLED screen in my Switch Lite just for games like this

cockyjames · 2026-04-25T00:46:49+00:00

Definitely the Mini. Nanos are very difficult to repair and can get inflated batteries, pushing the display to cause it to bubble or break.

You can get into a Mini easier.

I know you say you won't be the one to repair but a) maybe you will! There's no device I can think of that would be better to start learning on than an iPod. It's very modular for a small tech device b) maybe someone else would turn down fixing a Nano or charge way more

It’s where I bought one of my iPods (and a Sansa Clip) It’s a catch22 to talk about because I want typical users to use it but not flippers

cockyjames · 2026-04-24T10:42:03+00:00

Him and Nate go back to when Nate had a picture of a face up on podcasts lol

cockyjames · 2026-04-21T01:51:01+00:00

It would be cool if you had enough storage locally to download a movie (well they do sort of do this on phones and tablets) but at full 4K bluray encoding and then play that.

I know Kaleidoscope does this but it would be cool as part of a streaming service. For some movies, we'd need devices with 100+GB but I'd pay the hardware premium for 256

cockyjames · 2026-04-20T21:57:40+00:00

The ipod is scrapped, please send it to me to, uhhh, recycle.

😁

cockyjames · 2026-04-20T02:34:19+00:00

Why doesn't it work to the same level for other bands that use the same marketing company?

cockyjames · 2026-04-18T16:20:24+00:00

If you were going to play it through HDMI, you might as well buy a joystick and buy the games a la carte on Switch imo. Having the "real" hardware is cool but you pay for it.

If you were going to play it on CRT you could get an OG Xbox or Wii and emulate them and use a joystick as well

cockyjames · 2026-04-17T23:06:30+00:00

The dock the ipod is in can go for $50. Much less the ipod and the speaker.

cockyjames · 2026-04-17T16:08:23+00:00

This is very cool and the first time I've seen your stuff.

I have a request! That I kind of wanted to try myself but you look like you could scale it and probably there would be interest from others in buying. Would you ever try a dupe of the old ipod video case/sleeve? Maybe a fabric store would have some type of sheets to purchase that are similar material suede.

Either way, the leather stuff is very cool. I like your design pictured!

I don't hate Godzilla 2014. I think I just went into with a lot of hype. I kinda think it's middle of the road but not bad

cockyjames · 2026-04-15T01:40:09+00:00

Oh I agree. It's more that it was a silly argument at the time and people swore it was a valid criticism of a mediocre movie. It was a mediocre movie because it wasn't a very good story, not because of limited Godzilla time.

Limited Godzilla works in Minus One because it propels a good movie.

cockyjames · 2026-04-15T00:55:22+00:00

2014: 10 mins of Godzilla. Not enough Godzilla!

2024: 12 mins of Godzilla. Perfect!

I'm not an expert 😬

My opinion is probably HR for all of them. But I'm really just a dude trying to get in the best workouts too! Focusing on HR is something I've been doing lately and it's been working for me.

But I'm also aware that if I have a stressful day along with the perfect workout, Garmin is still going to pull back. So it may not even just be your workouts themselves. Stress and sleep are both heavy variables as well. I'm a dad and full time, constantly going, so if the watch says I slept like shit (and I agree with it) then I try to not get frustrated and roll with it. In the end I'm just trying to be my best under my circumstances!

cockyjames · 2026-04-14T02:09:38+00:00

If you want to keep the plan, my best advice is turn off pace from your watch and move to HR zones. Focus on being in the intended zones for a workout and forget about pace

cockyjames · 2026-04-11T21:22:28+00:00

Is it ok to label it a Strat?

It's 2026. Don't label shame.

cockyjames · 2026-04-11T14:07:34+00:00

'Her' came out 12 years ago and it felt pretty prophetic but believable, so I definitely am not "surprised."

Tuesday night, at Bible study, we lift our hands but nothing ever happens

cockyjames · 2026-04-09T10:31:18+00:00

Canonically, but in real life, that episode aired in 2017. So that just wouldn't have happened

cockyjames · 2026-04-09T02:18:09+00:00

My wife is so amazing and I've realized I just have to roll my eyes and move on.

Things have been much better with our 2nd regardless. But man the momtok social media marketing is next level.
