- Comment on Crimson Desert's PS5 Physical Edition Won’t Run Without 48GB Day-One Download 1 day ago:
Nothing new. The timeline for physical games being created is always several months prior to release using the final build at the time. The only confusing part seems to be that the game can be used offline until a new patch? If the system is not online at all how will it know a new patch exists? If the game checks in when booted then thats not offline either.

This is one of the few good things having the same job for 20 years has been. Never needing to create a linkdin account. I’ve been told in the past it’s still good to have, but i think that period of time is long gone. Glad i never gave them my info and time.

It’s almost like there’s reasons why we negotiate instead of just bombing people into oblivion. Can’t wait to see how the US spins this one with flat out lies with how good we are.

I love that marketing was so easy back then. Straight up just “Drink a coke”.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 4 days ago:
Makes no difference to me. I don’t mind them either way, but considering how they do nothing to effect the game i would say keep them. If anything they serve a purpose of statistics and possibly how far you are into a game. Considering i have never played a game with mods they are never disabled for me either. Ive been there when they started which i think was the year after the PS3 launched so 2007 or 2008 when the update came to introduce them. Its pretty cool seeing almost 20 years worth of that data on what i did and in what year i did it.

I did the same thing even on my PS5. Saved the file like normal which saved to the cloud, then i disabled cloud saving and proceeded to do everything else off that save to get each ending and then copy that cloud save back down overriding my local save. I was shocked it worked so well. I think i ran into 1 issue with getting all the weapons since 1 could not be obtained again in the first play through but i had my friend join my game and he gave me the weapon and laughed when we realized it worked. I love that i not only beat that game but also got every achievement, so i guess that means i do enjoy them.

The biggest gambler i know is a VP in accounting. He has been since I met him right outside of college. If anything he does make a lot more reasonable bets and finds loopholes to make the best of his bets. The thing is he keeps a spreasheet for the year to track what he spends and honestly he is almost always ahead by a lot or sometimes break even or slightly under. I have never seen him actually lose so he is a terrible example of having a gambling addiction lol. We all say he is one of the luckiest people we know which also stems from the fact that when we play poker he will almost always hit the statistically low percentage card needed to win and it’s frustrating to say the least.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 1 week ago:
Once we created standards to create everything we see today it became to expensive to invest in alternative home grown solutions. Sadly with the focus of maximizing profit over innovation most ideas just revolve around the existing infrastructure in place to do what they want. I hate it as well and everything feels very stagnant.

- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 1 week ago:
I’ll have plenty of time to try it work, but I stop at 11 for personal use… long time coming but them putting a date on 12 means I now have my date to get off Windows altogether.
- Comment on Is there any reason not to charge my laptop with a USB C phone charger? 1 week ago:
I have done this for years now and seen no problems. I have a Lenovo from my job and it can use and 85 watt charger for steady charging but my 4 bank phone charger is a 100 watt charger with the highest port charging at 65 watt if only 1 device is plugged in. It does fine with this, but i do get the message in windows stating slow charge. I only use this on trips to avoid taking more things than i have to.

That was me. Around 2009 I remember first hearing about it and trying to buy it and quickly realizing it wasnt that easy and seemed sketcky so i just said whatever… i wonder what I would have done if I did.
My 18 was also way before (2000) this so i hope i remember it for that long. And honestly life was good up until 2009 so i wouldnt really change any of that anyway. 2009 on could have used some improvements…

The last physical game I ever had trouble finding when it released was GTA San Andreas. I really couldnt find it for about a week maybe 2 which was nuts.

The saddest part to me is how little more and more people know about cooking. Each generation seems to know less and less about the basics and rely more and more on fast food and restaurants to survive.

They probably do, but finding them all every single time is almost impossible. I know I’ve had a few pop up in my own food over the years.

Use it in with rice all the time. Its a very subtle flavor but it definitely adds to it so it goes in.

Everyone is different i guess. I am on metformin and do not have any of that, also my doctor specifically said to look out for this and if it lasts longer than 1 week without subsiding to contact them because thats not normal and would need to change to something else.

This is fantastic. Just goes to show what kind of people that Shirley guy surrounds himself with already. He probably believes that being interviewed should only reflect the views he agrees with and not be a fair nuetral ground where if you fuck up then you fucked up. The people he surrounds himself with all edit those parts out which is half the problem on it’s own. I always liked Andrew for that reason, he definitely never seemed to take 1 side and has no problem showing captured footage of you making yourself look bad.

- Comment on Rufus blames Microsoft for allegedly blocking latest Windows 11 ISO downloads 3 weeks ago:
Over the past few years i have also realized rufus is the only thing making windows 11 installs easy or even possible. I had several devices i needed to get onto 11 and i remember 1 laptop i tried for days doing so many different things and it would just fail most of the way through and i couldnt figure out why. I then found rufus and saw that it allows some changes to get it working on some older devices andbit worked perfectly on the first try. Idk what MS is doing but they continue to screw up time after time.
- Comment on Did anyone really think the Final Fantasy 7 remake was better than the original PS1 version? 3 weeks ago:
FF7 was one of the moments that changed gaming for me when I played it way back. I dabbled with a few other RPGs at the time, but after this it got me to revisit and really appreciate the others and i felt rewarded for doing it. I have a bias towards the game so I was super excited to see and know a remake was actually happening. Then we got it and to me it was also special in its own way. Maybe more in the way of letting me remember just what i loved so much about the first all over again. It wasn’t the same, it had its quirks, but overall it felt like a success to me. The care they had with the big moments was spectacular and it couldnt look better either. My only complaint would be the entire game was linear, which is absolutely ok considering the masterpiece rebirth is. I also love the fact that this game is not just a remake which i would imagine you figured out by now. I wont go into it, but it absolutely is its own thing and at least to me it’s exciting to see how this comes together in the end. The music is also incredible and compliments it all very well.

Do you not have a winter? Where i am it was extremely cold for the past month and the house barely got over 60 degrees F or 15.5 C. Even with covers its also nice to sleep in a comfortable outfit to stay warm.

- Comment on Whats the best way to clean up 15 years of stuff around the house? 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, as someone married to a clearly undiagnosed horder it is tough to say the least… my only saving grace is that she really doesnt know what exists and is also semi tired of living this way so i have been clearing out rooms when she is at work (I work from home) and hope she doesn’t ask to see the garbage bags that i hide until garbage pickup. Everytime i clean when she is around she will go into the bags. I am on the side that it is all trash, but the sadder part is that a lot of it isn’t exactly junk either and did cost a lot over the years. I should be figuring out what to keep, but it’s so bad i don’t care and would rather start over from scratch than trying to figure out what can be sold to make back some of the losses. Sadly depending upon how bad OP has it he may not be able to get away with any of this, but wish him the best.

Or to many people have been burned by his promises and waiting for it to drop and see how it does before any commitment to sequels. I hope it does well because it sounds really cool, but we all know it can be a big flop as well.
