Played some Crisis Core FF7 (PSP) during down time on a road trip. I forgot how clunky the game feels, but it’s entertaining enough.
I’d like to see how the remaster compares… According to what I’ve heard, the cutscenes are upscales of the original FMVs, which are both odd and intriguing.
I happened to be able to see the 2017 one and it was so impactful I saved the date and made sure I’d make it happen. Cut forward 7 years and here I am with most of my immediate family (I have 6 siblings so having most is impressive).
It is an experience that can’t be captured by any form of digital or physical media and my only way to describe it is - it’s the closest thing to magic I’ve ever experienced.
I plan on saving up and going overseas for one as well.
“camped” out in Quebec, my son speaks better French than me and has corrected me all weekend, but we’ll see whose in charge when I poke him in the eyes two seconds before totality… Or squeal like a school girl as it approaches, we’ll see which happens!
Store the memory of this wonderful milestone in your life where you can reflect on a life well spent and be embedded in the feeling of belonging to a loving family. That shit is GOLD and will protect your mental health like a Patronus Charm from Harry Potter.
Mame emulator of the actual arcade releases. The graphics are better, there’s no censorship, and it’s really the more authentic way to play them, since they first were arcade machines before they came to home consoles.
I am near the totality line, but stressing over this problem resulted in me giving up planning to see it.
Seeing the eclipse directly would be cool, sure, but it will certainly be photographed extensively. I feel like permanently damaging my vision is way too likely buying something off of Amazon, and I don’t have a clue where else I can find them.
If you can get to an area where it will be in totality, you can see it without eye protection during that brief 2-3 minute window. The danger to your eyes is when it's at anything less than full total eclipse.
Workaround: You can see the eclipse with a low tech solution of a pinhole camera. Google it for a better explanation, but
-poke a pin through a sheet of paper.
-during the eclipse, just hold it over something like another sheet of paper and you can see an accurate projection of the sun as the eclipse progresses
It's actually pretty neat.
But if your weather is good, consider going to a place where the eclipse will be total. I'm in the path, but I'm seriously considering driving several hours to a place with a better weather forecast. I've seen good quality photo and video of total eclipses since I was a child. And the people who showed it to me (astronomy nerds from a club) told me "it's not the same."
Thank you, yes…I’ll probably do the pinhole camera I suppose. I won’t be quite in totality, so definitely don’t want to risk it without protection. But I might try Lowes, from BeardedBlaze’s recommendation, since I assume there’s accountability in their distribution chain.
I’m driving about 15 hours (over 2 days, not all at once, lol) from Virginia to the totality path with a “just ok” forecast. I made a similar trip in 2017. It is definitely not the same as looking at a picture. It’s the changes in atmosphere, the insects’ behavior, the light quality all around you that make a totality viewing special. If you can make it somewhere with decent enough skies, you will be glad you did.
