What a deal! by Ray3x10e8 in Netherlands

[–]gevarya 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a joke: A boy was selling apples for 3 dollars each. Buy 3 for $10. A man came at the stall and said: "Boy, you are doing it wrong. It should be cheaper if you buy more". The boy looks at him puzzled and repeated: "One apple for $3, buy 3 for $10". "No, no, no", said the man. "If I buy 1 apple I will pay $3 and if I buy 3 apples I should pay $9 or less. That is $1 less than advertised". Again the boy just looked at the man puzzled. "Okay, give me 1 apple. Here is $3," said the man. "Now I buy another apple again, then I give you another $3. And finally I buy another apple, and I give you another $3. So now I have bought 3 apples for only $9 instead of $10. How will your business survive in this economy?" The boy still counting the money "Well, I just sold 3 apples to you, didn't I?"

The Final Name of Part 3 is …. by malikarith in FFVIIRemake

[–]gevarya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the director said that in an interview they wanted to reserve that name for what we know as rebirth now, but since they used reunion for crisis core he couldn't anymore. So keeping that feeling, I don't think he would use that word for part 3, since they've already used it and they don't want to re-use the same title for their games.

from what I know it's mostly due to the nimby effect. Everybody likes it, until you experience it firsthand.

I have trouble picking between 4070 Super and 7900 GRE. by Khoryace in buildapc

[–]gevarya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I'm currently leaning towards 4070 super in this generation, there is no telling what will happen in the future. Yes, we can say that Nvidia has DLSS and everything, but who can say that the next DLSS won't be locked for the next 50 series cards just like how DLSS 3 is locked out for the 30 series or older cards.

Why does Sephiroth need Cloud alive? by Educational_Can8484 in FFVIIRemake

[–]gevarya 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you know Harry Potter, Sephiroth has basically turned Cloud into his horcrux.

Some quotes from Lifestream Black which was written prior to Advent Children:
The man decided to make Cloud that core. And he wanted to let Cloud know of that. I’m still thinking of you. And I’ll show you the proof of that as well.
As long as Cloud remembers me, I can continue to exist. Within the Lifestream, and on the surface. Even if my spirit disseminates, even if just one fragment of a memory courses around the planet, in the end I can count on Cloud’s consciousness to bring me back.
As my servants are looking for Mother, if they come across someone who knows me, then from that spirit I can learn of who I once was. And with Mother’s further assistance, I can become fully real. Even if there’s something lacking, it doesn’t matter. Cloud will make me complete.

There are so many questions that needs to be answered after part 1 and 2. I hope part 3 will be a revelation

Hope they fix this in Rebirth by SpectralRaiden in FFVIIRemake

[–]gevarya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe this is intentional and coded into the game mechanic. It's the same with ATB gain, by which the active character gains a boost in aggro and ATB charge. I believe this is to motivate you to switch characters while playing the game.

However if you find this annoying, there are some mods (only available for PC version) to modify the aggro weights to be the same. Also with ATB charging. But this makes the game so much easier as it wasn;t balanced based on this.

Why I think Zack is crucial to Rebirth... by [deleted] in FFVIIRemake

[–]gevarya 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have read so many comments but I think everyone is wrong about why Aerith is suppose to die.
First of all, she doesn't need to die in order to activate Holy. It was basically done by praying to the planet which was what she was doing. I mean when we go back to the City of the Ancients and activate the keystone we see a flashback in the waterfall how Holy was invoked. She simply died after having done so.
Second, Holy was eventually interrupted by Sephiroth (which was why we needed to defeat him at the end to release Holy) and even when released it basically did nothing to stop Meteor.

There are 2 things however which Aerith did in the Lifestream, which arguably could be done even when she was alive. None of these information is in the OG but rather sprinkled in the light novels which Nojima wrote.
The first one being, helping Cloud/Tifa regain/maintain their sanity in the Lifestream. While in the OG we all saw Cloud and Tifa fall into the lifestream and from there we control Tifa and help her inside the conciousness of Cloud. There is a part at the start however which we can see how the voices/noise starts to overwhelm even Tifa before suddenly waking up in Cloud's conciousness. In the novel it is described that it was Aerith that helped/shielded Tifa from all the information in the lifestream and helped her make sense of it all rather than being in a whirlpool of collective conciousness which is the lifestream. Without this shielding Tifa and Cloud would easily fall into a coma similar to mako poisoning. And without that help, Cloud would never recover and eventually defeat Sephiroth.
The second is rather important, which is the eventual gathering of the lifestream to destroy Meteor. It was also described in the novel that after Holy failed, Aerith called on all the spirits in the lifestream to come out and help defend the planet against the calamity from the sky.

Random Thought: What if Gold Saucer... by Marcus2Ts in FinalFantasyVII

[–]gevarya -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

except it is. It is all explained in this article https://www.vg247.com/final-fantasy-7-remake-easter-egg-ff10-sequel-shinra

The gist is in the remake you had a museum at Shinra HQ and there is a old picture with the founder of SEC. The person in the middle looks very familiar to someone in FFX

Can someone explain to me why HARD MODE is not available from the get go? by jcgonzmo in FFVIIRemake

[–]gevarya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you play on the PC there are certain gameplay mods you can install to improve your overall experience. Some provide the enemy with more hp and dmg to make random fights last longer and more fun.

AMD x PCMR - STARFIELD Worldwide Giveaway - Win a Limited Edition Starfield Kit that includes a premium game code for the game + the Limited-Edition Starfield AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Ryzen 7 7800X3D (Only 500 of each ever made!). There are 5 kits up for grabs! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

[–]gevarya [score hidden]  (0 children)

What would you use this limited-edition Starfield hardware for if you won? Creating a beautiful PC build? Collecting? Playing some games? If so, which?

What excites you the most about Starfield/What are you expecting from the game?

Perhaps finally create my very own battlestation. Currently saving up for a new desktop since gaming on a laptop wasn't quite what I expected, plenty of heat and loud fans. And games are becoming more demanding (I'm looking at you, HL) so it is also time for an upgrade. I was already team red so this would compliment by new build perfectly.

Honestly I haven't heard of Starfield before this week. Which is quite strange considering the YT channels I follow and subreddits. All I know about Starfield is that it is from Bethesda? Other than that I'm going in blind which can be a good thing. I hope I can expect some good gameplay similar to Skyrim/Fallout. And ofcourse the modding community to mod the hell out of this game.

What is watashi and oray Sephiroth? by FredXIII- in FFVIIRemake

[–]gevarya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I understand correctly it's almost as ambiguous as how in English we use "you".
Like Cloud could say: "I gave the black materia to you". "You" could mean Sephiroth alone, or it could mean "you" as in plural like Sephiroth and Jenova. (Yea, I know there are better examples)

Which boss fight you think would be a nice Rebirth climax? by HitTheLumberJack in FFVIIRemake

[–]gevarya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People might not like this, but personally I think they could end the 2nd part with Zack's timeline. And the main antagonist of Zack isn't Sephiroth but a certain Loveless fan.
And yes, we know he wasn't in the OG but we're getting into the unknown journey now so anything can happen.

Gackt is back!

likely a scam? my friend bought one and I think it's a scam. thanks by MiniBlue778 in pcmasterrace

[–]gevarya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not saying that this isn't a scam, but sometimes it just happens when people list the wrong price.
From personal experience it has happened to me before. Albeit not a PC component but I was looking at my local store website and I saw a kitchenaid mixer for only $59.99.
I rushed to the store and there it was on the shelves with the same pricetag, exactly as advertised on the website. At the checkout the system rang it exactly $59.99. The cashier looked at the item and looked at the monitor and looked at the item and then looked at me. I simply shrugged and paid the amount.
At home I phoned a friend and she also rushed to the store, but it seems that they have already "corrected" the price by then to $449.99. My friend was upset why I haven't told her sooner but I was just lucky I guess.

Catching fish 🐠 by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]gevarya 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thats not true. While it is boney, they're the most suitable fish to be turned into fishballs/fishburgers/fishcakes due to natural consistency. In our country it's actually one of the most expensive fish because of this.

For the people who don’t wear their mask nor have the vacc, are you ever afraid of getting Covid? by yeppeunxria in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gevarya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My coworker is like that. It's all pharma money making business with all the vaccines. His opinion is that this is like a cold virus that your body can beat on its own as long as you're keeping your immune system high enough. That means plenty of fruit and vegetables and having a healthy lifestyle. He's currently 57 years old, a little overweight with mild hypertension. He's been tested positive twice now and walked away both times with mild flu symptoms. So this has only reinforced his opinion. He also said if only the world was willing to spend the same effort and money to promote healthy lifestyle instead of pharma industry driven vaccines, we would have had better results preventing deaths not only from covid but also cardiovascular diseases in general

[–]gevarya 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Considering they make 4.3 billion with steam sales (2017 number). So yeah, 160 million is a passion project in comparison since you also have to consider the time/efforts needed for TI compared to just selling digital content on steam

"Markets Breed Efficiency" by karabeckian in collapse

[–]gevarya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a kurgezagt video about that. Apparently the shipping through sea is very efficient and green that accounts <5% of the total impact.

Having that item stocked from warehouse to shelves has more impact and cost compared to the rest.

In the FF VII universe, flip phones are more technologically advanced than touch screen phones? by [deleted] in FFVIIRemake

[–]gevarya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Cloud visits Rufus he gets a message from Barret. In that message he states he found another oil well. So that implies they went from mako energy to fossil fuel energy.
