i’m fairly new to reddit, been coming back every so often just to check things out. i stumbled upon this subreddit and i am so grateful. i absolutely love z nation.
i found it by accident on Netflix around 2021. such a hidden gem. i’ve seen loads of reviews stating z nation sucks because the story is all over the place, and too unrealistic. i believe that is what makes the show so amazing. the characters are funny, you never know what’s gonna happen next.
i would literally do anything in this world to watch this show for the first time again. would love to know when everyone else started watching aswell.

I hope this post finds you well. My name is Sharon, and I’m 42years young. I’m reaching out here because I believe in the power of connections and the possibility of finding love again, even after experiencing loss.
A little about me: I’m a widow who believes in living life to the fullest and cherishing every moment. I’m known for my compassionate nature, always ready to lend a listening ear or offer support to those in need. Despite the challenges I’ve faced, I maintain an optimistic outlook on life and believe in the beauty of new beginnings.
In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my daughter, Mia, who is my greatest joy and source of strength. We love exploring nature together, whether it’s going for walks in the park, hiking in the mountains, or simply enjoying a picnic in the sunshine.
I’m also an avid reader and find solace in the pages of a good book. Curling up with a captivating story is one of my favorite ways to unwind and escape into different worlds.
Family values, integrity, and personal growth are important to me. I prioritize creating a loving and supportive environment for my daughter and believe in honesty and authenticity in all my relationships. I’m always seeking opportunities for personal growth and learning, striving to be the best version of myself.
If you’re someone who values genuine connections and is open to building a meaningful relationship, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s start with a conversation and see where it takes us.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I look forward to connecting with someone who shares similar values and aspirations.

Ripped a Heritage giant box(target exclusive) and it was a hitter! Hit a Nolan Ryan 3D(hard to get a good pic of the 3D but it’s so amazing in person) a Masyn Winn game used mem /99 and a Joey Votto chrome /999. also got 4 short prints, a few white borders, a few pink, and some good inserts. My first time pulling a case hit!

Idk, it was just super good, and the first time actually reading an events story, and not just skipping it

(continuation of part 3)
Since Fatal Calling is all about Cloud facing his past and his origins, Tifa’s musical theme is most appropriate for the ending cutscene. For all of these reasons, Tifa’s theme is absolutely appropriate for the conclusion of Fatal Calling. It makes a lot of sense then that once Cloud has finished revisiting the past and vanishes with the crystal to find his Promised Land, Tifa’s theme stops and Aerith’s theme begins.
There’s a lot to be said about Sephiroth in Fatal Calling. Sephiroth feeds off of despair, and deems Palamecia’s suffering inadequate: he seeks a much greater source of power than this realm. He states that Palamecia isn’t “the world that was promised to [him]”, referencing his desire to become the god of his core world of FFVII:

“Sephiroth: Melding with the planet, I will cease to exist as I am now only to be reborn as a ‘god’ to rule over every soul” (FFVII OG, disk 1, chapter 25).

Sephiroth’s line “Now, let us return [Cloud]. Back to the Promised Land” reveals he wants to return to their shared core world of FFVII, like we established in our review of the Remake timelines theory (see section “I. a) vii.”). Sephiroth wants to go back to FFVII and modify the OG timeline to achieve his evil goals. This is his ideal scenario, his place of complete happiness: his desired Promised Land. Fatal Calling is setting up Sephiroth’s plans for Remake. In fact, the after-credits scene wherein Sephiroth stands in Nibelheim as it burns confirms his return to the FFVII OG timeline.
However, he isn’t the only one returning. Now that Cloud has revisited his past in Fatal Calling, he’s ready to reach his Promised Land. After Sephiroth’s after-credits scene, the OG FFVII title and logo turn into the FFVII Remake title and logo, indicating a shift: we are now officially in the Remakeera or world. Cloud and Sephiroth disappeared at the end of Fatal Calling, and now the game is telling us where they’ve gone. Combined with Hamaguchi’s recommendation that players complete the collaboration event before playing Remake, I think this is a solid indication that the Cloud and Sephiroth we see in this collaboration event are those we encounter in the Remake world. Once the switch to Remake occurs, Aerith’s theme returns. This communicates that she is indeed —as we’ve proven countless times already— Cloud’s Promised Land. But it also conveys her importance to the story of Remake. Scenario writer Nojima confirmed this:

“Aerith's the most important character in the remake so we paid special attention to her lines” (FFVII Remake Ultimania, section 08 “Secrets”, “Development Staff Interviews, Part 2: Tetsuya Nomura, Yoshinori Kitase, Kazushige Nojima”, page 744).

Aerith was already important to OG, so what could’ve motivated Nojima to state her importance to Remake? Could it be that she’s even more important in the latter than she was in the former? In what way?
That was the collaboration! Before we move on from MFF x FFVII Remake entirely though, let’s glean some more relevant information from some of the collaboration’s promotional material and special features.
~III. e) iii. Promotional Material and Special Features~
Two particular pieces of promotional material for this collaboration stick out to me as extremely relevant. The first is a promotion for a new summons batch in the Mobius FF game, created in honor of the collaboration.
MFF x FFVII Remake Summons Batch Cloud Promo
The summons batch contains three FFVII Remake-themed cards, including a Cloud card. As you can see, this promo reads “Who awaits in the Promised Land?” under Cloud’s picture.
The second is a promotion of an Aerith and summons and an Aerith Job Card (in MFF, Job Cards allow a character to embody an archetype or another character, giving them certain physical traits, clothing, weapons and abilities):
MFF x FFVII Remake Aerith Summons and Job Card Promo
I couldn’t find this picture in English, but the text relevant to us translates to:

“Midgar's Flower Vendor Summons
‘I'm searching for you. I want to meet… you.’
The witch protects the planet, imbues it with power, and leads to the Promised Land.”

A few things here. First, Aerith is referenced by name, and we see a picture of her in her famous praying pose. Secondly, both Cloud and Aerith’s images are attached to the notion of the Promised Land. Cloud’s card asks who awaits there, and Aerith’s evokes a guiding role, as though in response. Thirdly, both Cloud and Aerith are attached to the notion of searching: Cloud searches for the Promised Land and whomever awaits there, and Aerith searches for Cloud’s true self. Speaking of which, the promo also includes parts of Aerith’s famous gondola date quote from OG:

“Aeris: I'm searching for you.
Cloud: …?
Aeris: I want to meet you.
Cloud: But I'm right here.
Aeris: I know, I know... what I mean is... I want to meet... you” (disk 1 chapter 24).

In case you’re wondering about the lady in Aerith’s clothes on the left-hand side, that’s Meia, a character in MFF. She is the “witch” being referred to in the promotional material. She’s often called the Azure Witch. Meia is wearing Aerith’s clothes because a Meia-type Job Card called “Flower Girl of Midgar” was created in honor of the MFF x FFVII Remake collaboration:
MFF x FFVII Remake \"Flower Girl of Midgar\" Job Card
There’s even an Aerith outfit you can have Echo wear, and it appears with Wol’s Cloud outfit in the promotional picture:
MFF x FFVII Remake Echo's Aerith Outfit and Wol's Cloud Outfit
To be fair, Tifa also appears in one of these summons promos. However, unlike Aerith’s, her appearance doesn’t reference the Promised Land or her version of the gondola date. She is not presented in connection to Cloud at all. On top of that, while the Aerith and Cloud outfits are promoted together, Tifa is paired with Vincent in the promotional image:

This is hardly indicative of Cloti content in the event collaboration or in Remake.
~III. e) iv. Cloud’s Promised Land~
All in all, the collaboration tells the story of Cloud searching for his Promised Land, just as post-OG Cloud has been shown doing for years and years of canon SE content. Cloud is searching for Aerith in the MFF x FFVII Remake collaboration, just like he was in FFT and DFF, and just like he was shown doing in the 30th FF Anniversary Exposition. This is nothing new. However, the collaboration informs us that this mission to be reunited with Aerith is what leads Cloud to enter the world of Remake.
Echo noted that people obtain the Promised Land they deserve rather than the one they want. What does Cloud deserve? I believe the answer is: another chance at saving Aerith.
Cloud needs to start over, from the top. He needs to go back to the very moment he and Avalanche arrived at mako reactor 1 to bomb it. He needs to return to the beginning of the OG game. He needs a redo, a fix-it, another shot at happiness; a remake.

IV. The Hidden Plot Point: Mission Theory

~a) Thesis~
Here lies the heart of my theory. My dear Cleriths, Sephiroth isn’t the only one who travelled back in time to undo destiny and create a reality where things go his way: Remake is also —I would even say primarily— Cloud’s chance to free Aerith from her fate, save her life and secure his shot at happiness with her. That’s why he experiences MOTFs in Remake: he’s done FFVII before and now he’s back, although with only fragments of his memories from OG, to save Aerith. That’s why his triggers all involve Aerith: he doesn’t consciously remember anything from OG, but his grief over Aerith is so strong that it rises from his subconsciousness at the slightest trigger.
In Remake, Cloud remembers some but not all elements of the OG timeline (MOTFs), and it appears he only remembers the most important things: all his MOTFs revolve around Aerith and her fate. Our theory explains why Aerith triggers Cloud’s MOTFs in Remake quite perfectly: he traveled back in time to prevent Aerith’s death from happening. Remake Cloud remembers Aerith because, well, he knows her from OG. Post-OG Cloud has returned to the past to save Aerith, resulting in Remake. This is why seeing her in Remake triggers visions and memories of things that haven’t happened yet in Remake, but have already happened to post-OG Cloud. He recognizes her face on Loveless in Remake because seeing her face again is the whole reason he entered Remake in the first place. His visions of her death when they meet once more at the church, the spike of anxiety and grief as he watches her walk away from him, the constriction in his chest when she talks about doing everything in her power to help the planet… all of it, it’s all his memories of OG being jogged by things related to her death. What he’s forgotten from the OG timeline emerges in flashes of pain, images, memory and emotion. Remember that the language the devs used to describe these instances where Cloud reacts to Aerith in this way is always about “remembering” or “recognizing”; Cloud has to have seen Aerith, known Aerith, loved Aerith, lost Aerith and felt the pain of living without Aerith before in order to recognize and remember these feelings. Think about it: this is the only thing that can explain Cloud’s extremely selective MOTFs and the fact that he has MOTFs at all.
The Remake trilogy is all about Cloud and Sephiroth stepping into the ring one more time, both ready to risk it all to get what they lost in the OG timeline. Sephiroth is hungry for destruction and godhood, while Cloud stands determined to save the love of his life. Fighting for their respective goals, the fated enemies enter a new battle in Remake, one to end the war, both needing to win this time after losing so horribly in OG. Now, it’s all or nothing. Sephiroth vying for the planet, and Cloud reaching out for Aerith.
Cloud’s back with a quest, one he can’t fail— it’s the most secret and important plot point of all. I call this the “Mission Theory”.
~IV. b) Mission Theory Logistics~
There are a few things that remain vague, so I’m going to use this section of the analysis to speculate on the logistics of my theory. We know very little about the hows of the timeline and multiverse shenanigans, so I’m going to hypothesize. However, this analysis is about the whys: so if you’re not interested in mechanical speculation on the logistics of time travel and multiverses, you can totally disregard this section and skip to section “V.”.
~IV. b) i. Cloud the Time-Traveler?~
It’s unclear whether Remake is the result of post-OG Cloud going back in time to try his hand at the OG timeline again, or the result of post-OG Cloud somehow informing OG Cloud that he must save Aerith this time around. It’s vague in the same way that we aren’t sure if Remake Aerith is post-OG Aerith or if she’s been informed by post-OG Aerith via her connection to the Lifestream as a Cetra. Though it doesn’t much matter how Cloud has memories of Aerith’s death in Remake, I personally think that Remake Cloud is a time-traveling post-OG Cloud. My explanation as to why might be a little confusing, so again, feel free to skip to section “V.”.
One must be able to communicate with the Lifestream in order to obtain knowledge of the future. This access can only be granted to the Cetra or to the souls of the deceased that compose the Lifestream itself. Since Cloud is not a Cetra, he cannot commune with the Lifestream while he is alive, meaning a deceased post-OG Cloud would not have been able to communicate his memories of the OG plot-line with a living OG Cloud. Therefore, the only way Remake Cloud could have knowledge of the future (manifested as MOTFs) would be that Remake Cloud is inhabited by his post-OG consciousness. Effectively, this is time-traveling.
Then comes the question of how Cloud was able to time-travel at all. I have what I consider a pretty solid hypothesis. The most interesting thing about the realm of Palamecia is that every FF character that’s ever appeared in the realm for a cameo died in their core world beforehand (spoilers for FFI, FFV, FFVI, FFX, FFXII, FFXIII, FFXV incoming). These characters include Tidus (FFX), Lightning (FFXIII), Garland (FFI), Sephiroth (FFVII), Gilgamesh (FFV), Vargas (FFVI), Gabranth (FFXII) and Ultros (FFXV). My interpretation of Palamecia serves at least partly as a directory for deceased souls that can’t simply fade. For instance, FFX’s Tidus actually came back to life to be with his love>! Yuna !! FFX!<. Of course, MFF x>! FFX !!FFX!< and FFX-2, just like MFF x FFVII Remake came out between FFVII OG and FFVII. And similarly to Fatal Calling, the ending cutscene of MFF x>! FFX !!Next thing you know, FFX-2 comes out and shows Tidus returning to Yuna and their core world in an optional cutscene.!< The MFF x>! FFX !! Tidus !Remake.
~IV. b) ii. Post-OG Cloud’s Amnesia~
If we consider that Remake Cloud is a time-travelling post-OG Cloud who’s returned to the start of the OG timeline, we encounter another logistical problem: why doesn’t Cloud remember everything or most things from the OG plot-line in Remake, like Sephiroth and Remake Aerith do? After all, aren’t the three of them in the same time-travelling boat? Why isn’t Cloud as lucid on the matter as the two others? Didn’t the post-OG Cloud in Fatal Calling face his past and origins? Shouldn’t that mean Cloud would remember all that stuff in Remake from the start?
In OG, the true Cloud’s memories are repressed by both his false persona and Jenova. The latter’s memetic abilities are able to block Cloud’s memories of the past from emerging and conflicting with his SOLDIER persona. For instance, in both OG and Remake, Cloud is unable to hear Aerith tell him Zack’s name in Evergreen Park: Jenova blocks it out. I think this is a similar situation: post-OG Cloud’s consciousness carries memories things that Jenova doesn’t want Cloud to know, so she pushes down on them. On top of that, after travelling through different worlds and back through the Lifestream for who knows how long, post-OG Cloud’s consciousness must be quite weak. We know how good Cloud is at repressing, so it makes total sense to me that post-OG Cloud’s consciousness would be trapped or suppressed somewhere deep in Remake Cloud’s subconsciousness. After all, it’s not like this whole time-travelling-consciousness thing is normal for a mind to experience. It’s no wonder Remake Cloud doesn’t consciously remember how things go in OG. However, post-OG Cloud’s love and grief for Aerith are so strong that memories related to her can occasionally pierce through to his Remake consciousness and Jenova’s barriers, resulting in his MOTFs. His pain and love for her are definitely permanent and strong enough:

“A young woman descended from the Ancients who will forever be engraved in [Cloud’s] heart” (Dirge of Cerberus, Japanese manual, Aerith’s character description).
“I believe for those who formerly traveled with her as comrades and for the viewers, each carries their own feelings and love for Aerith. In this story, Cloud also carries his own undying feelings for Aerith, even to this very day… Its relation with the church scene is… Yup. I’ll leave this part to your imagination. (laughs)” (Nomura interview on Advent Children “Designer’s Note” in Famitsu PS2!magazine, October 24th issue).

So you see, Remake Cloud’s mind is a little more complicated than OG Cloud’s mind. Everything is still the same in Remake as in OG, but with the added complication that his future self is hidden in his subconscious mind, probably trying to get out.
There is actually pretty good evidence of this. I’m sure you’re aware that whenever Jenova is trying to hide something from Cloud or altering his memory and/or perception, the screen glitches green with an audio cue (34:15-34:29, 1:15:30-1:15:41 and 1:17:14-1:17:29). Guess what? These Jenova audiovisual cues also occur during the MOTFs (ie: MOTF 3 2:58-3:07 and MOTF 4 0:29-0:42). Whenever post-OG Cloud’s consciousness encounters anything that reminds it of losing Aerith, the strength of its pain helps it push memories of Aerith to the surface so that RemakeCloud can consciously see them. Remake Cloud then experiences sensations and/or visions, all from his future self’s memories as they rise to the surface, propelled by grief. Jenova can’t allow Remake Cloud to fully recover his post-OG memory, so in order to shut down the process, its cells jump in to repress the MOTFs: this results in the classic Jenova audiovisual cues. The only time Jenova doesn’t bother to fight against a MOTF is the sixth, as it is quite weak: no visions occur, only a tight sensation in his chest.
~IV. b) iii.~ ~Eclipse Contact~ ~and Cloud’s Memories of Reactor 1~
There is one problem I have trouble decoding. In Eclipse Contact, Cloud tells Wol and Echo that the last thing he remembers is the run-up to his arrival at mako reactor 1 (FFVII OG, disk 1, chapter 1). Recall that usually, people summoned to Palamecia have no memories of their world of origin and lives before that point at all. So then why is it that upon being summoned to Palamecia, Cloud recalls the events that took place right before the start of the OG game? This strikes me as highly relevant since this is the exact point in time where post-OG Cloud’s consciousness needs to be transported to in order for Remake to begin, but I haven’t been able to figure out a solid hypothesis on what it could mean. My best guess is that this is the devs’ way of signalling to us that the events of the MFF x FFVII Remake collaboration occur before the very beginning of post-OG Cloud’s second try at the OG timeline (Remake).
Now that I’ve shown you how I’ve come to form my Mission Theory and we’ve done some pesky housekeeping, let’s connect some dots, shall we? It’s time to really get into it and see if any of my wild speculation tracks with content from the Remake trilogy so far.
~V. Musical Evidence~
What about the music of the game? Any hints there? Let’s try to see if we can find support for the Mission Theory in the music made for the Remake trilogy thus far!
As a preface to my musical evidence analysis, I want to insist on something: the story guys tell the soundtrack guys everything. In a high-quality production such as Remake, people who make music for audiovisual media are told everything in advance. They need to know the secrets of every little scene, because their job is to depict whatever is happening through music.
Therefore, if the Mission Theory is true, then there has to be musical evidence for it.
~V. a) Preface: The Basics of the~ ~FFVII~ ~OST~
There’s a lot of evidence in the music of the Remake trilogy that we have to address, but before we get into it, I do have to give you the basics of the FFVII soundscape! For the easiest experience, I suggest you keep a tab open for every link I provide for you until the music analysis is over, because we will be hopping from one musical theme to another and then back again.
~V. a) i. The World Theme: Cloud’s Troubled Identity~
The world theme of FFVII is a perfect example of how musicians working on an OST have to know the secrets of a story as they compose for it. On top of representing the FFVII world as a whole, it doubles as Cloud’s character theme… except that isn’t exactly right. You see, this piece does indeed contain Cloud’s true theme, but Sephiroth and Jenova’s musical motifs also contaminate it. This, of course, symbolizes how Cloud experiences identity sabotage because of these two antagonists. The result is that globally, the world theme does indeed represent Cloud’s character, but it isn’t exclusively Cloud’s in the same way that Cloud’s mind isn’t exclusively his. It’s brilliant storytelling through musical motifs, and evidently requires Uematsu to know in advance that Sephiroth manipulates Cloud’s identity in the story.
For future reference, let’s isolate Cloud’s true theme from Jenova and Sephiroth’s influence.
~V. a) i. 1) Sephiroth: Dissonance and Semi-Tone Motif~
I’m sure you know Sephiroth’s infamous theme: “One-Winged Angel”. The first motif we need to know is Sephiroth’s threatening, repetitive dissonance motif, which plays all throughout the piece (plays solo at 0:00 to 0:04). The second motif is what I call the semi-tone motif. “One-Winged Angel” has a ton of minor 2nd intervals, which is what we call the relationship between two notes that are only a semi-tone apart. You might recognize the minor 2nd interval in the foreboding Jaws theme. Just like in Jaws, the minor 2nd interval or semi-tone is commonly used to indicate an impending, life-threatening danger, a monster, predator, evil, or insanity; suits Sephiroth quite nicely!
~V. a) i. 2) Jenova: Parasite Motif~
The track “J-E-N-O-V-A” contains many competing melodies and has generated many variations of those melodies —almost like clones— that all represent aspects of the alien’s character. The main Jenova motif is simply a descending, two-octaves-long, arpeggiated mb6 chord (eight notes total). I’ve played it for you here. Sometimes, this motif is altered to form variations. For instance, in “Listen to the Cries of the Planet”, a variation of Jenova’s main motif is created by changing the order of the notes and reducing the number of notes to only six (0:00-0:03), however, it remains an arpeggiated mb6 chord. Regardless of the alteration, if you hear an arpeggiated mb6 chord, it means Jenova is creeping close by or that its influence is at work.
The variation of the mb6 arpeggiated chord that concerns us alters Jenova’s main theme so it ascends from the tonic to the b6 note and descends back to the tonic, then ending on the lower dominant for a total of eight notes. I’ve played it for you here. I call this variation the “parasite motif”, because it is often heard when Cloud is being controlled by Jenova. For instance, it plays when Cloud loses himself and becomes unusually violent in Rebirth’s chapter 13 (17:25-18:34), signalling to us that Jenova is in control. It is also the main motif of the track “Who… Am I?”, which evidently symbolizes Jenova’s fuelling of Cloud’s identity crisis— though here, the parasite motif is shortened to its six first notes.
~V. a) i. 3) Cloud’s True Self~
Now that we can recognize Sephiroth and Jenova’s motifs, let’s return to the world theme to isolate Cloud’s true self. Cloud’s true theme can be heard from 0:51 to 3:48. It consists of a section A (0:51-1:54), followed by a section B (1:54-2:41), and then returns to section A (2:41-3:48).
After Cloud’s true theme concludes however, it seems he experiences a psychic interference: doubt and confusion weave through the world theme (3:48-4:09), representing an instability in his identity. I call this interruption of Cloud’s true theme the “interference section”. It symbolizes a moment of psychic interference or weakness within Cloud that Sephiroth and Jenova take advantage of to take control of Cloud.
The end of the interference section introduces Jenova’s parasite motif. It slithers in (4:09), later joined by Sephiroth’s dissonance motif (4:16): Cloud’s mind and identity are being hijacked by the two antagonists in service of their evil plans.
They torment Cloud, dominating his mind until he manages to free himself: section A of Cloud’s true theme begins playing again (6:06), closing the loop of the theme.
Based on this musical storytelling, if you already knew the character motifs going into OG, you might’ve suspected something odd was going on with Cloud’s identity, and that Jenova and Sephiroth were involved. All this to say that whatever music is playing at any given time can give us hints as to what is going on. That’s the power and significance of a good soundtrack. Trust me when I say that with Uematsu and his team, we’re in excellent hands. And remember: the story guys tell the soundtrack guys everything.
~V. a) ii. Aerith’s Theme~
Another base we have to cover before checking out the Remake soundtrack is Aerith’s theme. I’m sure everyone here is familiar with it, but I insist that you refresh your memory. It consists of a section A (0:00-0:34), a section B (0:34-1:13) and a section C (1:13-2:00), concluding with a repeat of section A.
~V. a) iii. Motifs and Timing in~ ~FFVII~ ~OSTs~
I’m going to analyze pieces in great detail, which people who haven’t studied or paid attention to soundtracks may find strange. To prevent anyone from making the mistake of thinking that I’m reading too much into things, I want to emphasize that the music that plays during the Remaketrilogy’s cutscenes is carefully timed, composed and arranged to match the events in the cutscenes, as they are provided in advance to the musicians. Composers pay lots of attention to whatever is going on onscreen so they can include the corresponding musical motifs as accompaniment at the exact right moments, always striving to get the timing perfect. I’m not exaggerating the effort and minutia involved in soundtrack composition and arrangement. Here are just a few sound staff comments from the “Material 4: Soundtrack” section of the FFVII Remake Material Ultimania to prove it:

“[To] make sure players really feel the weight of the moment, we worked hard on getting the tempo and the entry timing of each instrument exactly right. In particular, that big ‘boom’ that sounds almost like a meteor crashing down was fine-tuned to match the timing of the logo's appearance. I remember this was a real sticking point for us, because if the boom's timing was even slightly off, the effect would be completely different. We […] had to sequence [each and every sound] to play at exactly the right moment” (Shotaro Shima on track “Midgar, City of Mako”, page 229).

&

“I was originally told to keep this piece to under two minutes, but it ended up being over six minutes long, in order to match the flow of the cutscene. I arranged the track while watching the latest CG visuals that had been rendered for the scene” (Naoyuki Honzawa on track “Smash ‘Em, Rip ‘Em”, page 309).

&

“This is the track that plays during the tour of Shinra’s different divisions. The movie shown in the Visual Entertainment Hall describes the history of the Ancients (0:25 onward in the soundtrack version), and I wanted to create a musical link to them as well, so I made use of the chord progression from ‘Aerith’s Theme’ [D(I)-Am(Vm)-D(I).] [This simple sequence of moving from major to minor and back again creates a really mysterious air. Then, during the section where the movie recounts the history of the construction of the Shinra Building (1:47 onward in the soundtrack version), I quoted a section of the Shinra theme” (Yasunori Nishiki on track “Stewards of the Planet”, page 313).

~V. b) The~ ~Remake~ ~OST~
Now that you’re ready, it’s time to verify the Mission Theory’s validity with Remake’s music.
~V. b) i. MOTF 6 Music~
We were able to explain Remake Cloud’s MOTFs with the Mission Theory, and it just so happens that the music that plays during the scene of MOTF 6 is unique to Remake. This gives us the perfect opportunity: we should analyze the piece that plays as it occurs to evaluate the legitimacy of our theory on the Remake trilogy, using all the motifs we uncovered in section “V. a)”.
First, a refresher on the scene and on our theory’s interpretation of it. The party is gathered in Aerith and Ifalna’s old room at Shinra HQ. Here is how the scene is described by the VA script notes:

“The Whispers once again close in [on Aerith], but Aerith refuses to stop speaking this time.
Aerith: Listen to me. […] Shinra isn’t the enemy. They were the ones who set things in motion, but our true foe is someone else.
At that moment, the spectacle of Meteor they saw in the Visual Entertainment Hall comes into Cloud and the others’ heads.
Aerith: Somehow, some way, I want to help— all of you… the planet…
For some reason, Cloud feels his chest constrict tightly” (FFVII Remake Material Ultimania Plus, VA script notes, “Aerith Speaks”).

Indeed, right after Aerith says she wants to help the planet any way she can, Cloud looks down at his chest with a frown and a quiet grunt (7:46-7:54). According to the Mission Theory, this tightness in Cloud’s chest can be explained as an emergence of post-OG Cloud’s grief, triggered by the slightest allusion to Aerith’s sacrifice.
The piece that plays during this scene is called “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra”. It is one of many variations of Aerith’s iconic theme arranged for Remake. However, Cloud’s theme is just as prominent in the piece— if not, more.
~V. b) i. 1) The Fate Motif~
Before we interpret “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra”, I need to introduce you to one more motif that crops up in the piece. There is a windy motif that appears (from 1:45 onwards) and it is unaccounted for, despite how it’s clearly meant to represent something. I’ve become certain that this wind noise symbolizes fate, and I’ll tell you why.
In the MOTF 6 scene, just after Nanaki explains how he gained knowledge of the Whispers via contact with Aerith (7:23), they emerge and begin swirling aggressively around Aerith (7:26). Her hair and dress blow and ripple in the resulting wind. From this very moment onward “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra” (3:00), a string section (bowed instruments in the violin family) that deliberately emphasizes the airy sound of the bow crossing the strings enters, creating a windy effect that adds to the already present wind noise (that started at 1:45). As the Whispers progressively become even more aggressive onscreen, both the wind SFX of the cutscene and the wind noise in the piece get louder and louder. Because of the timing of its appearance and crescendo in the cutscene, I’m certain the wind noise is meant to represent the restrictive flow of fate; it only makes sense, given that destiny is a current —or a wind— that cannot be broken, and Aerith is like a helpless petal in fate’s carefully planned storm. Of course, it’s also quite significant that the Whispers make a windy noise as they fly. You can hear it every time they’re onscreen, like when they first appear to Cloud in chapter 2 of Remake (17:45-18:20), or when the White Whispers hold Cloud back from chasing after Aerith during Rebirth’s Sleeping Forest scene in chapter 14 (28:43-29:45). You can also hear the wind sounds in other Whisper-related tracks, such as “Whorl of Whispers” (clearly audible at 2:50-3:05), as well as “A Death Not Ordained by Fate” (clearly audible at 2:56-3:18). Therefore, I’ll call these wind noises the “fate motif”.
~V. b) ii. 2) Interpreting “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra”~
In part 1 of “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra” (0:00-1:45), Aerith’s theme and Cloud’s true theme play simultaneously, their respective phrases fitting perfectly together, interweaving peacefully and softly. It sounds like the two of them are chatting, dancing bashfully yet contently and in perfect sync, glad to be exactly where they’re meant to be as their themes sing together in harmony (soft piano). Part 1 of this piece is about Cloud and Aerith becoming important to one another as they discover their soulmate bond.
Unfortunately that contentment doesn’t last. In part 2 (1:45-3:00), Cloud experiences a moment of psychic vulnerability (world theme’s interference section). Fate lurks (fate motif enters quietly). His instability forces our couple’s sweet dance to a halt, and Aerith’s theme must retreat as Cloud’s confusion takes center stage. Sephiroth torments and taunts him (semi-tone played by strings, 2:03-2:10), taking advantage of Cloud’s psychic interference to plunge him into darkness (world theme’s interference section ends, low cello enters, 2:18): Cloud temporarily becomes a darker version of himself as evil corrupts him (piano plays section A phrases 1 and 2 of Cloud’s true theme in minor, 2:18-2:53). Jenova finally reveals itself and promptly exits, releasing Cloud’s mind from its grasp (seven first notes of parasite motif played twice on piano 2:53-3:00). Cloud is free, but the damage has been done: his dance with Aerith has long been interrupted, and she is gone. Part 2 of “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra” is about Cloud being manipulated in service of Sephiroth and Jenova’s evil plan, interrupting his interaction with Aerith.
Part 3 (3:00-3:33) kicks off the mechanisms of a tragic fate (strings section joins fate motif, 3:00). Both anxious that she’s disappeared from his side and terrified of the darkness he just discovered inside him (in part 2), Cloud fearfully calls out for Aerith (phrase 1 of Cloud’s true theme’s section A, timid and hesitant piano, 3:04-3:15). Before his psychic interference began (start of part 2), Cloud’s voice was accompanied by Aerith’s as they grew closer and closer (their character themes mingling in part 1)… but now, Aerith isn’t answering his call, and he cannot find her (Aerith’s theme doesn’t to join Cloud’s anymore).
Anxious, Cloud tries calling out for Aerith a second time (section A phrase 2 of Cloud’s true theme’s, 3:19-3:31), searching for her in the hopes that they can continue their dance, but even now, Aerith does not respond. She’s gone (Aerith’s theme remains absent). Destiny keeps Aerith away from Cloud (fate motif gently crescendos). Part 3 of “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra” is about Cloud’s separation from Aerith, his search for her, and the fear and anxiousness he feels when he realizes he cannot find her.
And then, part 4 begins with a sweet, gentle voice, calling out from the blackened horizon: it’s Aerith (section B phrase 1 of Aerith’s theme, soft piano, 3:33-3:45). Cloud finally hears her respond to his pleas: he’s found her. Fate begins howling in protest, doubling its efforts to keep Cloud and Aerith apart (fate motif crescendos noticeably in reaction to Aerith’s theme, 3:45). You can just picture Cloud running toward Aerith, struggling against the current of destiny to try and close the distance between them. Aerith tries calling out for Cloud a second time, (section B phrase 2 of Aerith’s theme, 3:40-3:43), but the Whispers only swirl around her more ferociously, taking her away in the uncompromising current of fate (fate motif continues to crescendo). Aerith tries again (section B phrase 1 of Aerith’s theme, 3:47-3:49). It sounds like she’s saying “Cloud, I’m over here, come find me!”
Fate doesn’t take too kindly to her defying it. Cloud and Aerith are not supposed to be together; it can’t be, it won’t. She’s destined to die to save the planet, and he’s destined to remain hollow forevermore. I can picture Cloud breaking into a sprint at the sound of her voice, running countercurrent to the flow of destiny— but the winds are so loud, fate’s demands are so strong, and the Whispers are shrieking in defense of destiny now. Aerith’s voice emerges for the fourth time (first three notes of section B phrase 3 of Aerith’s theme, 3:54 to 3:56). Fate screams louder, louder (steep crescendo of fate motif, 3:59-4:02). In a desperate hail Mary, Aerith shouts out one more time, as though throwing her hand out toward Cloud’s extended fingers (section C phrase 1 of Aerith’s theme, louder and more insistent, cutting through the fate motif as it crescendos sharply, 4:00-4:06). Part 4 of “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra” is about Cloud and Aerith desperately trying to defy fate in order to be together. And then, it all stops: fate has seemingly quieted Aerith (4:04-4:08)…
Part 5 (4:08-4:27) begins with Cloud jumping, launching himself off the ground with all his strength (Cloud’s true theme section A phrase 2, first 5 notes, melody starting on the note E5 and ascending) as Aerith plummets toward the ground in a fatal fall (Aerith’s theme section C phrase 1, melody starting on the note E6 and descending, the last note altered)— he successfully catches her in mid-air (both Cloud’s ascending melody and Aerith’s descending melody meet in the middle of the octave, first uniting on B5, and then ending on A5). I’ve recreated the melodies for you here so you can hear this reunion more clearly. If you consider that the airy strings in this piece represent fate, which I do, the fact that they follow Cloud and Aerith’s themes in part 5 signifies that they are now in control of their own destinies, and successfully making it their fate to reunite.
To be completely frank, I did not realize until right now writing this that Cloud unites with Aerith in part 5, even though his theme is right there. I’m so excited to share this part with you.
We hear Aerith once more, her voice quietly trailing off into the silence (phrase 4 of section C of Aerith’s theme) with no conclusion (phrase 5 normally follows phrase 4 to conclude Aerith’s theme, but is absent here). Part 5 of “Aerith’s Theme - The Cetra” suggests that Cloud will save Aerith and that the couple will change their fate, but also conveys an uncertain and open-ended quality.

Hey, all.
Let me start this by saying, this was my first Diablo game. I absolutely loved the story and playing the main quest was a blast. I did it solo but eventually found out a couple of my friends are Diablo series veterans, and so we started playing together.
Recently I’ve been told by some friends to give D4 another shot after not playing since beating the campaign and trying a few helltides. However, with the newest updates and “big QoL” updates that’ve been added to the game, I’m inclined to try and give the game another shot.
This brings me to my question: what are the big things I should know that have radically changed since ~ 9 months ago?
I appreciate any information or links to other posts/guides. Thank you!

Bf wants to break up because he lost his job
I am new to reddit
As the title says, my (26m) boyfriend wants to break up with me (25f) because of his final situation.
A bit of a back story, we met 4 years ago both of us were in our final year and about to graduate college. He is kind, loving, a planner and very smart. He learned to code in his early teens and at 17 got his 1st full time job. At 20 he got into college and finished it in less than three years, and then got his masters a year later. After i graduated I moved in with him, and i was doing and payed internship (not much) and a part time job and working on my masters. He insisted in covering all bills and me focusing on paying for my studies.
I tried to compensate by cooking and cleaning, but he ends cooking most of the time and there is almost nothing to clean as well most of the times. A part of this is due to our schedule, but most of this is with his difficulty to accept things from others, wether it’s help, gifts, favors, you name it. At the beginning when i gave him little gifts he was was grateful but then would tell me he doesn’t like receiving gifts, I respect it, when i tried to help him with something he always said if I need anything I’ll ask, this kind of thing. Honestly it made me feel a bit useless in the relationship, all I wanted was to do something for him. I finally landed me full time job through my internship and finished my masters so i insisted in contributing with half of the rent and and other bills, which he was okay with but then he lost his job. He started looking right away but he didn’t predict it would take him many months get an offer. Past 7 months with out working part time he decided to break things off to “to get his life in order”, and during this time he was still paying for bills despite my insistence in covering all while he looks for a job. I love him a lot, but i thing he is too prideful to be in the relationship with me paying for things. I am angry, i am sad and disappointed that he only wants a relationship when he is doing well but well he faces hardships wants to end things. I just want some suggestions on how in can support him and change his mind, for anyone which has been through something similar.
Thanks for reading.
TL;DR: bf is to prideful to be in a relationship while not having a job wants to break up

Hi everyone,
I'm a neuroscience PhD student working on learning in problem solving tasks.
I am working with small problem-solving task, but I wanted to extend the model I created with my supervisor to a bigger problem-solving task. And that's the moment I decided to use Outer Wilds, because the game is long (more than 1h) and open (you can discover its secrets in any order). And also I love it.
My question today is simple : Do you want to help me gathering the data ?
I'm currently using a little set of playthroughs I got by making people play the game for the first time. The more I get playthroughs, the better will be my results (more details after).
If you want to help me, I'm looking for unedited playthroughs of people who were never backseated unintentionally (if they are, I'm stopping their playthrough the moment they decide to get backseated/look at a guide), no matter the language (even if no one is commenting the playthrough), I'm only looking for entire sequences of actions done by players, because my model compares sequences of actions.
I don't care about the "quality" of the playthrough, if someone is struggling on a part for 5 hours straight, so be it.
And I guess that for some of you, it may also be a way to discover new playthroughs to watch as the Outer Wilds fever still runs in your mind :)
Thank you all for your help (if you want)!
(If you have questions about the research, I'll be happy to answer too! Just trying to keep the message short for now).

My GF (32F) and I (30M) have been having issues with intimacy as she had barely any sexual education nor experience (never had sex). Making her be ashamed of that and a hard topic to communicate about. After 8 months together now, she revealed more about it.
It turned out to be a lack of sex ed, and a very strict household she grew up in (especially around sexuality etc). She told me she masturbated for the first time in her life at 29. And that she had hard moments with her (short-lived) ex BFs, because interactions get too fast for her or become inexistant. She also told me about is that she doesn't remeber a thing about her whole life before being 16-17. Except some recollections from pictures, family etc. And that she might had a traumatic event that contributed to her sexual deafness.
I also never had P-in-V sex myself, but I have much more libido and more "experience" than her (even if very limited). So this is also an anxiety-inducing topic for me too, that's why I always try to take things slow, but there are times where I take things too personally, thinking she doesn't want me, or she might be asexual and hiding it, which is the root cause of our problems.
All of that being said, I struggle with her inconsistent libido levels, and desire patterns. Sometimes she's all in to make me a handjob, which I started to hate, because it's becoming the surrogate for intimacy, kinda getting away with sexy-time. And I started to refuse those. And most of the time she isn't receptive at ALL to anything, even avoidant of finding ourselves in situations that might lead to sex (when we get out she insists we stay outside until late, to sleep directly). Only once in a while (like once every 1.5/2 months we get to enjoy touching each other or griding on one another). I always put myself naked and all, but she barely wants to. And never wanted to remove her underwear (shame issues etc).
Sooo, as I love her, and want her, and would love to build a life with her, I can't find the right way to help us improve that. I know for a fact she isn't very cooperative with talks about it. She would do some effort and initiative when we talk, then if not, things completely stall. She doesn't have money for therapy. She isn't willing to try things, read books or discuss things beforehand, as it's a hard topic for her. Given all of that I want to have a clear plan to lay out for her, taking the initiative and making it easier for her.
I know if that becomes such a burden for me and if things get to spiral to absolute absence of a sexual life I wouldn't last long in the relationship unfortunately. I still want to improve things.
What should I do to help us make this work?
TL;DR: GF has shame issues with sex and intimacy, and it's becoming hard for both of us to navigate this, as it makes me anxious.

I have had my Coinbase account for over 5 years and have been using the platform. I've bought, converted, sent crypto and did all of that in that time span.
This past week on May 9th, while I was trying to take advantage of the dip in crypto prices, I received a notification that my account was restricted. Immediately I was confused as I had never had this happen so I called Coinbase support and they told me that I had to send my drivers license picture and a selfie of myself. I previously had already did that, but I was like whatever and I still submitted it. I also had to ask questions about why I had a coinbase account and what my goal with it was, which I've had the account for over 5 years so I was confused but still, answered all of the questions that they asked.
On May 9th, on Coinbase, it stated that I would be able to send crypto out today, and there was a 1 week restriction to "protect" my account. I had only sent crypto over to my coinbase wallet and I mentioned that to the representative and they said that when the day reaches today, the restriction would be removed. As you guessed it, that DID not happen.
During the span of a week, I've called many times asking for more information, asking for updates or just simply getting more clarity on my situation and the support team gave NO help. They would make me hold for over 30 minutes and they said that it would be done shortly with no indication of any efforts being taken.
I've had my account for over 5 years and pay for the Coinbase One subscription service. I've tried to reach out many times because I knew that when crypto went down a week ago that it would be golden opportunities to invest and now the market has already rebounded and since Coinbase randomly decided to restrict my account, I wasn't able to take advantage of it.
This is completely unacceptable to an account owner that has been with the platform for such a long period of time and receiving absolutely no clarity or no additional assistance is mindblowing.
I came to reddit to share my story in hopes that Coinbase will take action and get this restriction removed ASAP. I simply have exhausted all my resources and can't just keep "patiently" waiting for Coinbase to take weeks or even months to get this restriction removed when the crypto bullrun has already started and every day missed is golden opportunities that are vanishing in thin air.
All I'm asking is to get the restriction removed or to just give me more information regarding my account. It shouldn't need to take this long when I've already been a customer for half of a decade and have been using the platform regularly.

I love the EV Grieve for hyper-local interest stories. Does this concept exist in any other neighborhoods?

To be honest, I have always been geniunely uncomfortable with shmoozing and workplace politics and as a result I do not engage in it whatsoever. I think its a skill to be good at this and I haven’t come anywhere close to flexing this “muscle” in a long time.
Long story short, 3 years ago I worked with an incredible colleague who is at the top of our field. I worked REALLY hard while on their team and really produced a lot of “deliverables”( objectively - I was promoted). I left this team to go to a new group where I was stagnant for 2 years. Everyone in higher roles took credit for my work, belittled me, and treated me like garbage. I was perpetually overworked and overlooked. I was basically bullied and I cried often. My boss kept blocking my promotions and wanted to keep me under her. It was toxic and a living hell.
Recently I decided to apply to a new job. The hiring manager reached out to my current boss who presumably talked shit about me in a way that made the hiring manager question if I was fit for the role. Then the hiring manager reached out to my other colleague who said such amazing things about how I am really intelligent, a quick learner, super competent/reliable, efficient , professional , incredible to work with and how they don’t think the previous projects we were on together would have been as successful without me.
Basically what my old colleague said about me overshadowed what my shitty manager said about me and I was hired for this new role.
Now how do I thank my old colleague? What do I say? I never see this individual in person as we now work in different states. I am thinking of sending them a message but I don’t know how to word it. I think an e-mail is too formal.
The thing is, in a way thanking them for saying the truth about me and my work makes me feel weird and like I don’t believe that I was worthy of such praise. But really what I want to thank them for is not being a piece of shit human being. There are only a handful of people at my company that would speak positively about others in a room full of opportunities instead of using it as a opportunity for self promotion. What my colleague did should be the norm but its sadly not so I want to show them that I appreciate what a decent person they are and acknowledge that they helped me out. How do I thank them and what do I say? I am truly grateful to be honest because I am not sure I would have gotten away from my old toxic manager and started this new role without my colleagues’ strong recommendation. Sadly , merit is not enough when you work in a company riddled with politcs and BS.

I came back to this game recently after so many years. It’s crazy how there’s been an inflation of some really amazing players.
I still remember that being called a “pro” back then was more so sarcasm in the general crowds than anything else. It was so rare to actually see someone be consistently amazing at the game. But now I’m back to it and I see so many people getting all of these firsts and having thousands of boot camps finished on their profiles.
I’d love to practice to be this amazing at the game but where do I actually learn more advanced skills? How do people know what to do in all of these racing maps and boot camp maps? It’s become so normalized and well, I want to be one of them!

Long story short i have an extra set of Amp’s that are no longer covered under warranty. It’s very expensive to have them repaired by gentex so my unit just buys new sets. Has anyone ever taken them apart to try an at home fix? I cant figure out how to get them apart.

How to explain this? So my mom - I believe- is a bit of a covert narc. My dad had major medical issues, but now after 20 years got a second chance at life through amazing medical advances. They are living their best life, and telling me about it- repeatedly- every day. This is great- I’m so happy- and thankful to see them doing so well. So - I have older kids with lots of sports, and they want to come to literally every event. My grandkids are lucky to have such involved grandparents. The thing is, I can’t tolerate having to entertain/ converse with my mom through every single event. She will find me, sit next to me, and demand I focus on her stories for the entire event. If I look sideways during he our conversation she is miffed. All she talks about is what she did this week/ day/ last week/ the same stories I have been told already. It doesn’t matter- I act as uninterested as possible, but she is blissfully happy blabbing away and has no idea this is like finger nails on chalkboard to me. Also I hate having personal conversations with like a crowd around me- because it feels like an invasion of privacy- so that just adds to my ick. I try to not tell them when the sports events are, and then they are either sad/mad when they realize something happened and they weren’t invited. Or she will stalk the sport on FB and already knows the schedules…. I’m ok with maybe like 1 event spent this way, but every one is too much! My kid is starting high school and I want to enjoy this, not skip every event to avoid my parents…. How can I communicate this without hurting feelings/ starting a war?

Hello, On Saturday I've ended a 2 years relationship. With this decision I was sitting for the last year, but even earlier thoughts about "is it right" were coming to me. I love him, I believe he loves me. I care for him, I believe he cares for me. I'm scared I won't be able to stop loving him. I'm unable to hate him, or being angry at him, even though I'm holding a big anger right now. I tried to fix things, I was trying to change myself, I was desperately looking for things I could do. But I've come to realisation there's nothing I can do, I didn't quite accepted it though yet. The problem we diagnosed is that he doesn't feel emphaty emotionally. He can have cognitive emphaty. This is something he told me about himself. He's a good person who wouldn't choose a bad doing. On the other hand I'm kind anxiety driven. I needed emotional validation. I would tell him about something emotionally charged, but wouldn't get the feeling of "being on the same wave", and in result I would start doubting "ok, maybe I'm wrong for feeling this way in this situation".
We had different styles of arguing. He would get more offensive and more rivalry. In turn I'm someone prone to escaping. I would say "ok, you're right" to cut the arguing, or flee the conversation. At some point I recognised it's disrespectful, so I tried to not escape. I tried to continue with talking, try to say "I'm having emotion X and y right now" and I tried saying "I'm leaving the conversation now, but I'll come back to talk it over later when I calm down". When I tried the first two approaches I would feel like I was receiving a beating. When I tried the third approach, he was no longer interested in conversation and would say "it's in the past so why bring it up, let's forget about it". I tried forgetting, but instead I was building resentments. I would beat myself for building them, I wanted to forget but I wasn't able to.
We had different needs for time together. I wanted to have it more. Sometimes I would force it, but I could see it's forced and that it's not a quality time at all. I could see his annoyed at it. I tired not to do that, the times it happened was because I failed in this trying. So I was waiting for him. I tried living my own life, it would work when I'm focused on something, but as I got into state of not having anything on my mind my thoughts would gravitate towards thinking about him and feeling lonely. I felt jealous over his friends. I felt ugly that I'm feeling jealousy instead of being happy he's happy he spends time with them. I felt jealous over love stories on the internet. I felt bad I can't accept him and the relationship as it was.
After breaking up I did a little stupid thing of writing about my hurts to him. He acknowledged them, apologised to me. He told me those things don't have a chance of changing.
I was and am unhappy. I know it's unhealthy to be in this type of situation. But I have to fight off the thought: maybe I could suck it up and accept those things. Maybe I can live unhealthy, with the same way I was living, but with trying to shut up better. On logical level I'm perfectly aware how stupid it is, on emotional level I want to love him despite all. I'm angry I'm the person I am instead of being someone compatible with him. I'm angry I was trying to change the situation, but he wasn't. I'm angry that this situation wasn't something to overcome and have a strong relationship as a result. I also want to move on. I want to build a healthy relationship with someone. I'm scared I'll get blocked by this love and the future relationships I'll be building will be of this kind that I can't give love to anyone, cause my heart is occupied. I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to be alone as well.
I know that I should be patient now and allow time to heal me. I also know I should be occupied. I think I don't have a bad break up. I was processing it already for the last year. Nothing really changes much, cause I was trying to be occupied to not think about him even in relationship. In relationship I didn't have hope for my psychological state to better, but now I have a perspective of getting better with time. He was willing to listen to me, to read those messages I wrote about things that made me hurt. He have me closure. He was gentle with it. He told me "it's not your fault" and "I wasn't comparing you to others" (when I wrote I felt like his friends were better than me). He wrote he believes I'll do good in the future (when sometimes he was harsh with me when my studies were going bad).
Anyway, if anyone read it - thank you.

Hello, hope you all are doing well. I am a student, writing an economics esearch paper about the multiplex industry of India. If you all could just fill a short survey, it would greatly help in furthering my research. Thank you for your time :) ps: if anyone in a tier 1 city wants to help just a bit more, I would LOVE to have an interview/focus group where we all can discuss this a bit more. It would be on chat. Looking forward to it.

So long story short full fibres coming to our area next month and I have to bid farewell to my starlink, sucks as I only got to use it for less than a month and can’t return the hardware as its now mounted on my ceiling
