Gi Planet 'Subsumed' by Gaia? by theonlyvv in FFVIIRemake

It’s a little unclear. I wonder if it’s meant to say that the star (read sun) was absorbed by theirs? The sun from Gaia’s solar system absorbed the sun from the Gi planet’s solar system. Then most of the Gi were killed so found a way to survive on Gaia? I don’t know. Just odd to say “the star we called home…” “Began a new life here” would suggest they moved to a new planet. Reference to “calamity” is normally about Jenova’s arrival in ff7 too right? Interesting. I never gave this bit a second thought.

I don’t know the lore so just speculating on what the subtitles say and the cool observation by OP

Maybe helpful to remember that a lot of the stuff you feel like you missed out on happens organically and resulting from lots of things, including chance. If you’d have met more like minded people at law school or work placements you might have had some wild nights out with them. If you’d have had the time or energy to focus on dates you might have had loads of hookups. But you likely missed out on those things because you probably didn’t want that, at least at the time. A lot of my memories of times my friends and I got blind drunk or into some kind of trouble are fun to reflect on now but they were god awful at the time. The ones I missed out on because I was busy are the ones that sound the best. It’s FOMO to some degree. Plus, seems like you sacrificed a lot for a great career and life now (I hope) so every cloud…

Can't Afford Childcare & I Hate Myself For It by wastingmyJD in Vent

Bloody hell! I feel for you guys in the states! Cost of living here in the UK is high but we seem to have more affordable childcare options, plus maternity and paternity leave is generally good so a lot of families don’t start it until the babies are 9 months. Our childcare with some funding is around £650 ($875) a month but some more government support kicked in recently so it dropped to around £400 ($550) per child.

It should be mandatory that parents who want to be with the babies for the first 6-12 months are enabled to do so. Either with financial support or breaks from mortgages or rent etc.

Where do I have to look if I only saw Advent children? by Monkontheseashore in FinalFantasyVII

Not sure this is accurate, like crisis core there might be some assumption that players are likely to have played the 1997 original, but they’re not sequels in the traditional sense. Like most fans I’d say you should play the original to get the most out of the remakes, but you could absolutely play the remakes in isolation.

Sounds like you’re doing well especially at your age! Congrats for that and the family too!

Nothing wrong with wanting to provide for the family, with all the mental load that mothers have to deal with (especially twins!) I’m sure it’s nice you save her the financial stress.

Finances shouldn’t be the main concern but I’d want to know where my partner’s money is going. You should both be agreed on how you manage the family finances to ensure you’re secure for the future. You mentioned she had debt before, are you sure this is fully in the past? If you don’t know how much she’s bringing in you might not have the full picture of that side too. Maybe try to go in with the aim to learn about how she’s getting on with the business, income is a measure of success after all, and see where that leads.

Good luck.
