There’s still hope for the Habs to end the drought they originally set. If the Oilers can’t do it then hopefully they can! God tier rebuild, everything seems to have panned out extremely well in my (heavily biased) opinion.

God damn it I’ve been avoiding r/hockey since the loss because I’m salty AF that fucking florida of all states has had such sustained success with the lightning and the panthers being good lately, and the first time I ever see a hockey meme on lemmy is this?
Really?
I’m a Habs fan first but the Oilers are my 2nd team and I fucking hate that the shithole that is florida, where the average person is probably dumber than a 5th grader, gets 4 fucking cups this fast while Canada continues it’s drought since 1993.
At least I can always laugh at the leafs being an eternal embarrassment, so at least I got that going for me.

F-droid is something I genuinely enjoy browsing through, reminds me of the early days of Android 2.0-2.3 when I actually enjoyed using and customising my phone.
I miss the old days of phones being fun and looking forward to both hardware and software upgrades.

Final fantasy 13. Rented it as a kid for the 360 for a week and loved it. Didn’t get to finish it, but as soon as it released for PC shortly after I built my first PC I played it and loved it. I now have over 300 hours in the game on steam and have beaten it 4 times. One of my favourite FF games despite how much the fanbase shits on the game.
I also don’t care for the 2nd game in the trilogy despite that being the fanbase’s “preferred” game of the trilogy. Did not like the “monster as a 3rd party member” thing at all. Lightning returns is also amazing and I’ve put a couple hundred hours into that game and beaten it 3 times as well.
Love the FF 13 games even if they get shit on a lot by FF fans. 13 will always be one of my favourite games.

I get your point but the speed of the CPU means nothing without mentioning the specific model. My old i7-4790k came stock at 4.4GHz and would massively struggle to run modern games, but if I underclocked my current 7600x to 3.2GHz it would easily handle the latest games at 60 FPS.

I keep listening to Lumière over and over, it’s such a good song as is the rest of the soundtrack! I was just telling my brother the last night that I like that it’s a French game, its exposed me to a culture I don’t usually get to appreciate. The French inspiration throughout the game is a nice change from the usual English/Japanese inspired RPGs IMO, I especially like how Esquie refers to Francois as franfran with a French accent! (Although everything about Esquie is awesome tbh).
The French swear words are a nice touch as well, although I have to ask, is tabarnak not a thing in France? If not, what’s the equivalent in France? I only know that word because I’m a Habs fan and a lot of them frequently use that word in reddit game day threads when they’re playing like shit haha. I’ve heard Quebecois French and France French (wording? sorry) is a fair bit different, but I don’t speak the language so I only have an outsiders level of knowledge at best.
Ha that makes them a bit more palatable but they’re still really annoying just like a lot of those old FF minigames were. Thank god for save states!
Thanks for the tips!

Been slowly going through the game over the last 3 weeks or so and my fucking god, this game is an absolute masterpiece.
I’m a huge fan of turn based RPGs so I’m biased, but everything about this game is just amazing. Music is insanely good (almost at Nier levels of good IMO) the combat is satisfying and challenging at the same time, the voice acting is extremely well done (Andy Serkis does one of the villains) and the graphics and cut scenes are gorgeous, I read that they used mo-cap and had the actors actually playing their scenes together so it feels much more natural as opposed to one person doing their part and then piecing it all together afterwards.
The story is really well done so far, I’m pretty sure I’m somewhere near the end of act 2 (level 40ish across my team) and the writing for the characters is top tier. Funny banter with your team and NPCs at times but lots of emotional moments, it’s been a long time since something tugged on my heartstrings the way this game has been able to so far.
Everytime I play it, I have multiple moments of happiness, some sad moments and some laughs in a couple hour gaming session. I seriously can’t recommend this game enough. Reading my post back makes me sound like a paid bot but I haven’t been this excited about a new game since I found Factorio back in 2020. Before that would’ve been Fallout New Vegas back in 2010.
Masterpiece of a game and I both can’t fucking wait to beat it and see how the story ends, but I’m also dreading that moment at the same time. It’s (hopefully) gonna be like finishing a really good TV or book series and realizing there’s no more story in that universe. Bittersweet knowing you won’t get more of the characters and world you came to love over time. (Just finished Peter F Hamilton’s Commonwealth books, 7 in total and I’m super sad there aren’t any more stories to be told in that fascinating universe. I’m hoping to feel the same way after I beat this game)

I’m glad someone is having that fight, thank you for bugging them about that for all of us introverted people that don’t want to spend our limited energy arguing with people.
Thank you! I fucking love Amos, he’s such a well written character in both the books and especially how he’s portrayed in the TV show.
Just want to say, you’re one of my favourite posters on Lemmy! Hope you’re doing well! :)

And then there are people like me that hate notifications and I go in and “mark all as read” without reading them because sometimes I just wanna throw my opinion out there without arguing with random people on the internet.
I’ll check back on the rare thread I make but 90% of my comments aren’t getting followed up on, I don’t care enough to argue about my opinions tbh.
Disable notifications on post is one of few things I miss about reddit.

Sorry man, my original reply came across a bit rude IMO.
That’s awesome though, I wish more crowds would have better chants than “lets go team” etc haha. I see they’re the Oilers ECHL affiliate, that’s pretty cool, the Oilers are my 2nd team after the Habs. Living in northern Canada, I can’t see even minor league hockey so I’m jealous!
- Comment on Appers 2 months ago:
I’m well aware, that’s just the first that came to mind for me.
- Comment on Appers 2 months ago:
Gotta give credit to the Nashville Predators fans, they have some decent chants, at least by north american standards. If a goalie let’s in a weak goal, they’ll chant
“MURRAY, MURRAY
YOU SUCK
ITS ALL YOUR FAULT, ITS ALL YOUR FAULT”
They chanted that at the (then) Penguins goalie Matt Murray in a Stanley cup finals game.

Don’t ever think conservatives just hate anything that doesn’t align with us.
Fucking LOL
Cons are entirely based off of “fuck you I got mine” and “anyone that isn’t a straight white person = bad”
Your entire shitty ideology is based on hating anyone different from what you pricks consider to be “normal”. AKA the polar opposite of what I quoted.
Fuck off back to twitter where you cunts belong.

I hate mushrooms with a passion tbh, not just the way they taste, but even seeing them growing in the wild grosses me out. Disgusting things, I’d eat bugs before resorting to eating mushrooms.

Same with mine. She’s the reason I love Rammstein. We share music with each other a lot, it’s awesome. My dads more old fashioned and likes classic rock but he’ll tolerate me and my brother playing our favourite metal songs for him at least!
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 8 months ago:
Tbh the bigger instances need to bite the bullet and defederate from .ml. There are alternatives to all the good comms on .ml, they just aren’t as active. Defederating would move a lot of users onto the alternatives and get some control back from the terrible .ml mods and admins.
Banning people from multiple completely unrelated comms for something that happened in one comm is bullshit and they abuse the hell out of that. I refuse to participate in any .ml comm because of that.

.ca is good as well, the admin is top tier and very transparent with the userbase. I’m quite happy with my instance.
