  • I finally played it for the first time a couple of years ago when the initial covid lockdowns granted me large chunks of free time. I was playing for a while, but never found myself intentionally grinding. Unlike a lot of games of that genre/era, it varies up the environments/enemies and progresses the story enough to grant enough xp while going the things you need/want to do anyway.

    For a bit of context, just before Chrono Trigger, I tried playing through Phantasy Star II, a Genesis game from a few years earlier in the same genre/era…and I got maybe 15-20% through the game before realizing it was too grindy and just uninstalling it. I’m not coming into this with infinite patience or anything.




  • The worst part of the 6P battery stuff was how shitty Google/Fi support handled it. There was a class action lawsuit, and I just needed to show records of my replacement (and then replacement of my replacement) for that issue. They straight up lied to me in chat about having never contacted support about the issue. I had an interaction that was literally:

    You can confirm this is my third Nexus 6P, yes?

    Yes.

    You can confirm they all came directly from you?

    Yes.

    You can confirm I only purchased the first one?

    Yes.

    Why did you send me a second and third phone?

    We do not have record of this.

    Fortunately, I still had the phone and recorded a video of the phone powering itself off at 65% and was able to provide that as evidence…but I’m still salty about it all. It’s why I have not and will not own a Pixel or use Fi ever again.


  • Lucky.

    I had a Nexus 6P that’d power down at 70% battery remaining, a Note 4 that stopped accepting input from the (undamaged as far as I could tell) screen, two other Samsungs with unreliable fingerprint readers, one of those also had a camera that stopped autofocusing and basically became useless. The Samsungs also had a myriad of charger issues from the phantom water detection to one that started getting super hot and melted a USB cable and nearly caught fire while mounted in my car.
