I feel like this game is Squeenix's love letter to the OG FF7. They took the original open world section, which wasn't the most exciting either (I remember spending a lot of time grinding mobs) and reimagined it. Is clearing every tower and side quest the most exciting gameplay? Probably not, but as a longtime fan I enjoy the little things like seeing the Fort Condor mini game reimagined and learning about the lore of the world. As others have said you CAN skip a lot of the side quests and it does get more linear in parts (Chapter 3 and backend of Chapter 4 comes to mind).

The rules aimed to cut down the amount of "viral posters sitting outside eating a scoop of olive oil ice cream and a glass of orange wine not even taking any pleasure in it," Compagnon said.

No defense, just vibes.

"We want to encourage them to come to Back Bay and not make it too hard to get here, and we are concerned that is going to happen," she said. "We want to make sure it is not to the detriment of something that is very important to the city of Boston, the economic success of the downtown commercial district, and Back Bay."

This is an idiotic take. Parking is already impossible to find as it is, I doubt anyone is driving to the Chipotle on Boylston for example - it's all foot traffic.

Musk tweeted Friday that the feature would be "unlocked shortly" and that it was vital to take swift action to stop it from happening. He said Twitter had to fire up backup servers to cope with increased traffic on the site.

Sounds like it may be temporary? Either way I already deleted my account, so if they want to keep public tweets locked away its their loss.
