- Comment on My Phantasy Star Online dilemma 9 months ago:
As far as I know there is no issue with legality. I don’t remember the specifics at this point. I believe the psobb setup was a free download for the client and what they did was rewrote the server side so it was their own software. As far as the IP art, music, etc. IDK 100%.
I will say it has been going for nearly 15 years and widely publicized and sega hasn’t ever tried to do anything to shut it down. I believe it’s in some kind of loop hole where running the server is legal, and using the client is legal for PSO:BB, but for v1, v2, and I & II version you would still need to have a legit copy for maximum legality. So if you just want to play the game… PSO:BB using their modified client / server setup is a good way to do it… plus it looks nice in HD. There are other servers besides schthack, that’s just the one I used way back in the day and they’re still around.

- Comment on Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals 10 months ago:
Likely assumed I was defending the musk mobile rather than just making conversation. I spose I should have been more explicit.
F1 racing is a way different type of driving than “normal” driving. Less need for lots of turning the wheel quickly and more need for controlling car features.
- Comment on Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals 10 months ago:
Oh absolutely not. Just mentioning it in reference to the way the KITT yoke looks.
TBF KITT could self drive just fine so he didn’t need a very functional “wheel” heh.

Ever seen what real life F1 car steering “wheels” look like?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 has already consumed 500 hours of my life, and I'm just getting started 11 months ago:
Skyrim is a first person action adventure game with RPG elements. Baldurs gate is a much more traditional fantasy RPG which I a focused on tactics and D&D core rules and character stories where action stakes a back seat. So it sounds more like you enjoy the action and immersion of Skyrim than the “RPG” side of it.
BG3 is really a love letter to the people that liked the original games and wanted more depth to the systems to try to capture the tabletop experience a little more. Since you described it as “clunky” I’m guessing that the slower tactical aspect is what you’re bouncing off of.
