Yeah I did forget to mention it’s still one of my favorite games of all time. The story and characters are even really good - it’s only Marche I don’t identify with much.

This was me the whole time playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Every character except the main character is MUCH better off in the fantasy realm - the main character’s brother is literally crippled and sick in the real world and healthy and robust in the fantasy realm, and the main character still wants to go back to the “real” world. Didn’t identify with him at all.

I fucking love that series, one of my favorites of all time. The final (currently) book focused on the child was not my favorite - I hope there will be another book focused on Ben again.

Seeious question - since Wikipedia doesn’t serve ads, wouldn’t a drop in direct traffic be a good thing for them? It would reduce their server costs and presumably the people who truly value Wikipedia (contributors and donors) would still use it for its intended purpose.

Ignoring the population as a whole getting dumber, which seems to be a side effect of everything these days.

It looks like it to me too

I mean the photo looks pretty AI generated too, imo

For me, it’s Final Fantasy XI - it’s a million years old and it actually does run fine on Linux, but some of the third party QOL tools I use to make it less painful to play don’t work (or at least I can’t figure out how to get them to work) through Lutris.

Earlier this year I was considering upgrading my desktop to 64GB, but didn’t want to upgrade straight from 32GB to 64GB because I was using DDR4. If I was gonna buy an upgrade I wanted it to be to DDR5, but that would have involved a processor and motherboard upgrade that would have cost almost $500 combined (including the RAM). Ultimately I decided against it because of the cost (I don’t actually need a processor upgrade) and figured I’d buy down the line when I needed to.

Now the RAM alone is the cost of the entire upgrade. Bonkers.

Get a good water filter? This seems like a solvable problem.

It straight up told me it can’t do it. I switched back to Bixby for trying to actually do things on my phone.

Yeah this one certainly doesn’t look like it’s hunting at all - not saying it wouldn’t attack him if it could get to him, but it seems a lot more curious than aggressive.

A lot of times with these top end hardwares, it’s not that there’s anything right now you need it for, but in a few years you’ll still be able to run anything. In half a decade it will still be powerful enough for most things. Mid-range hardware might be showing it age in a few years and relegated to low-end work in 5 years.

As an example, a 1080ti is closing in on a decade old, and still manages solid 1080p performance in modern games.

They mean their end to your rear end.

Idk if you’re just being a jerk or what but I’m gonna assume you’re being serious - the expectation might be the person trying to be responsible would say “that’s a stupid excuse” but instead they sit down and join the gaming person to stay warm. The joke is basically that the person chooses comfort over responsibility.

I mean, that’s also a pretty reasonable description of an invasive species.

They chose die. As in, “our constituents will just have to die”

Like Acura doing the same thing with the “RSX”

“Let’s take a famously tiny pure-machine sport coupe and turn it into an electric crossover software-run abomination.”

That’s like “hey it’s not that we hate you, we just really don’t want you to be mayor, and we HATE you.”

How is winning by near 9 points against two opponents, one of which is ostensibly in your own party, “barely squeaked past”.

It was decisive.

And if we were just talking about the general population at large, I would 100% agree, but I think the “bona fide diagnosable sociopathies and psychopathologies” are significantly overrepresented in people who obtain positions of power - especially the ones that end up in the news for stuff like this.
