Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
Since I was reminded about Elden Ring because of the QOTD lol
Elden ring is a great game, but some of the boss designs, particularly around the end of the game were just so over the top in bullshit that it kind of defeated the purpose for me. And there was also stuff that was legitimately just broken, like rolls not coming out until like half a second after you press the roll button or hitboxes that don't line up with attack animations AT ALL
For an example of this check the picture I dropped where you can clearly see that the Crucible Knight's sword was NOWHERE NEAR me but this is the frame that I died
Again though I would say that the vast majority of my time spent in the game was awesome, just feel like I need to justify not giving it 5 stars lol
Can't believe I haven't rated this yet. Might be surprised that I'm not giving it the full 5, but hear me out. Awesome game, love messing around with different materia combinations, some awesome set pieces, story has some of the craziest emotional beats I've ever experienced in gaming... buuuuuut
Man was the final disc a let down. You spend the entire game being antagonized by Sephiroth, physically and mentally, and then when you finally get to him, zero words are had. It's just like "Here's the dude... and now he's a gigantic monster for no reason... and then he's a gigantic angel for no reason. I also wish that after the massive emotional train wreck that was disc 1, they did more with Cloud processing Aerith's death. Feels like she's largely forgotten about by the main group immediately after disc 1.
Just being real I'd rate this closer to like a 4.75 or something but that's not an option so I'm rounding down haha
