- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Salt and Sacrifice. Basically a 2D mix of Dark Souls and Monster Hunter, while Salt and Sanctuary was a more straightforward 2D take on Dark Souls alone. This is from the perspective of someone who ablolutely loves MH and who enjoyed Sanctuary even more than Hollow Knight.
It’s… fine. There’s basically zero use for the game’s currency, and I think chasing the Mages around the areas feels a bit more like annoying busy work without MH’s in-universe reasons for monsters to flee, especially with how quickly the Mages go down when you finall do catch up with them. Also, having so many different Mage resources dropping randomly doesn’t make as much sense when you can’t damage different parts of the Mages to influence drops like you can in MH.
All in all, I think the whole thing doesn’t quite come together in the end, but I find it hard to criticize indie takes on the Monster Hunter formula when Crapcom has been enshittifying the IP so badly the past few years.
So, give it a try if you like Dark Souls and are craving more of a Monster Hunter-esque experience, but don’t expect it to fully scratch the itch. Hopefully this incentivizes more indie studios to try the MH formula - we desperately need more old-style MH-like experiences with Crapcom’s trend of empowering the players over the monsters to utterly ridiculous levels.

Nice thing is that used microwaves are all over thrift stores for like $10 a pop. Our coffee maker broke this month and we got the best coffee maker we’ve ever had for $6.

- Comment on Insulin 2 months ago:
Yup, but their products don’t work as well, don’t work for everyone, or have other downsides. Banting’s original insulin would be dirt cheap today, but it’s shit compared to what we have now, so the best products on the market today charge a premium for either efficacy or convenience.

It’s ironic, by trying to get them to hate each other he accidentally became something for all of them to rally against.
Major Payne already taught us that this works:
“They hate you!”
“Good. It’ll draw them close together, make 'em a team.”

- Comment on Non-Win-11 PCs to keep my eyes out for to convert into a NAS? 3 months ago:
How fast/reliable/cheap are USB drive enclosures? Maybe I should just go that direction instead of buying a whole new system for it. As long as the NAS software doesn’t require much overhead, I’ve got an old laptop that should be able to handle things well enough if that would work.
Plus, then I could still grab one of these cheap Win 10 machine as a server box to run all of the services to go along with the NAS.
- Comment on Non-Win-11 PCs to keep my eyes out for to convert into a NAS? 3 months ago:
This is amazing info - thanks so much! I’ll probably end up putting the server in the basement, so sound hopefully won’t be much of an issue.
- Comment on Non-Win-11 PCs to keep my eyes out for to convert into a NAS? 3 months ago:
Gotcha, yeah, physical space was the main thing I was worried about picking up one of these used corpo boxes.
Would something like the HP DeskMini mentioned in another comment be a good enough choice for a service hosting machine?
I have an old, pretty big Antec tower from like 10 years ago that should have plenty of space for drives - I suppose I could reuse that for the NAS and just upgrade my main PC case to something more modern like I already wanted to do anyway.
- Comment on Non-Win-11 PCs to keep my eyes out for to convert into a NAS? 3 months ago:
Thanks so much! I expected it to be more complicated for some reason.
- Comment on Non-Win-11 PCs to keep my eyes out for to convert into a NAS? 3 months ago:
Great recommendation - I’ll keep my eye out for one!
