So about the same as me, solid. Wish him luck on his Bestiary hunt and Lightning dodges.
- Comment on Day 615 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
How long has your friend been working on it? I’m on 4 myself. Had a lot of free time over the holidays to blast through the first three, but now I’m hoping to finish one every few months
- Comment on Day 615 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
FFVIII is probably one of my top three. Something about the characters, setting, gameplay, and even the mini game triple triad tickles my fancy.
The “squall is dead” theory really was one of those playground spread rumors that I loved too.
I’m currently on a quest to get all achievements for every FF game. It’s real interesting seeing the changes from game to game, enjoy IX when you get there
- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 1 week ago:
Seconded. You don’t need to have played Miles Morales at all, but I personally think it’s the best story of the three
- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 1 week ago:
It’s got to be one hell of a game for me to do it. Maybe one in 100 will I touch post game content and I don’t think I’ve finished any
- Comment on How the Iran war could derail the AI boom 1 week ago:
I’ve got $3.50 I can donate to the cause
- Comment on How the Iran war could derail the AI boom 1 week ago:
Chop chop the clock is ticking and not in your favour.
- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 1 week ago:
Halo Life is Strange Final fantasy VIII World of Warcraft Expedition 33
None of them are perfect but they all made me think about games in a different light and keep me wanting to play.
- Comment on What are your favorite low-footprint self-hosted services? 1 week ago:
Favourite? Probably Kavita.
I’m looking to sell Forgejo next myself

Ireland has UBI for artists. Some countries see the future. Some.
- Comment on "Departures are necessary," Crystal Dynamics say as they yet again lay off Tomb Raider staff, but they're "fully committed" to the reboot and sequel 1 week ago:
Best I can do is sacrifice kids to the global pedo ring
- Comment on "Departures are necessary," Crystal Dynamics say as they yet again lay off Tomb Raider staff, but they're "fully committed" to the reboot and sequel 1 week ago:
This is 2026. Everything gets a reboot. The war in the middle east, games, movies, everything.
- Comment on Final Fantasy IX animated series officially in production at EuroVisual, titled Black Mages Legacy 1 week ago:
Have fun. I’ll keep napping in my moogle cuddle puddle
- Comment on Final Fantasy IX animated series officially in production at EuroVisual, titled Black Mages Legacy 2 weeks ago:
A lot of people mindlessly expected more fantasy and don’t really understand that the underlying theme for like every final fantasy game is environmentalism, anti corruption, legacy, and fellowship, not just chocobos and crystals
- Comment on Final Fantasy IX animated series officially in production at EuroVisual, titled Black Mages Legacy 2 weeks ago:
If you aren’t aware they’ve released two other movies since then. The FFVII sequel film “Advent Children” and “Kingsglaive” set in the FFXV universe.
- Comment on ARC Raiders replacing some AI voices, CEO says "a real professional actor is better than AI" 2 weeks ago:
I mean I do think your stance is backwards on so many levels but yeah, I’ve been on the Internet enough to know that not everyone speaks English as a native language or something so grammar is eh. Doesn’t make ya dumb. Internet can be a nasty place for sure though. A little positivity probably is a good thing.
- Comment on ARC Raiders replacing some AI voices, CEO says "a real professional actor is better than AI" 2 weeks ago:
You call out the arrow to the knee line, and yet, how much entertainment have we all gotten out of memeing about it?
Yeah, I’ll take my games with bad human acting over more AI slop any day.

Ublock works on Firefox on phone. Can skip the PC step if ya want
- Comment on where the heck is it 3 weeks ago:
It’s an M.2 or NVME drive (basically same thing). It looks like it’s under that white rectangle in the bottom left of your image (it’s a little fuzzy so hard to say for sure). They have a heatsink on top of them held down with a screw. You just undo that screw and it can pop right out. The heatsink can peel off and be attached to the new M.2/Nvme.
With that said, my experience with bootloops is usually more of an issue with the BIOS. I would try updating that or reflashing it if it was recently updated.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 3 weeks ago:
As others have said it’s savory not sweet and guac is a great choice but I put mine in a wrap.
I cook up some chickpeas in barbeque sauce, spread some avocado on a big ol tortilla, throw in some coleslaw and the chickpeas, wrap it up and go to town.
- Comment on 35-year-old brings in around $60,000 a year and lives rent-free by pet sitting full time—everything they own fits in 2 suitcases 3 weeks ago:
Honestly that kind of sounds awesome to me.
I mean obviously it sucks if they’re forced to do it but I love pet sitting, I enjoy seeing where people live, and I’ve never felt the need to be tied anywhere. If they’re happy let em be.
Holding them up as an example of sigma grind or whatever obviously sucks but it in and of itself doesn’t sound half bad to me.
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 4 weeks ago:
This has been just over the past couple years for me. It absolutely still is the world if you aren’t a jackass
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 4 weeks ago:
This is how I did it. You just have to find the like minded individuals and put in the time to get to know them. I did it through meetup.com some, word of mouth of events from other friends, and just talking a chance and talking to someone who seemed chill from work. Some of my best friends now.
- Comment on Dear Faith II 4 weeks ago:
I’ve only ever been academia adjacent and I’m glad. Some of the most soulless people I’ve ever met. It’s the lab grunts who know how to party. Until they have the life sucked out of them to meet some arbitrary writing spec for a journal

In Star Wars, Luke Skywalker was raised by Anakin’s step brother, Owen Lars, who was a moisture farmer on Tatooine. That made him Luke’s step uncle. We’re all referencing Star Wars quotes.

But crying about not getting to go to Tashii station is okay?

Hope you enjoy a whiny nephew
- Comment on Why nor???? 4 weeks ago:
Well, it doesn’t change size based on the wielder. It changes size based on its will and what it percieves will bring it the result it desires. Which is admittedly way more complex and abstract. This is why I said knowing more about it’s properties would be extremely important to figuring out how to use it.
If it only changes size in one direction, like growing bigger to slip off a finger, but the band width never changes, then it would still be extremely useful for some measurements. We also don’t know if there’s a maximum or minimum to it’s size changes which would greatly matter.
- Comment on Why nor???? 4 weeks ago:
Sure. For me (computer scientist but went to engineering based school) I’d be most excited about the experimental possibilities.
I mean if nothing else the potential to have the world’s most stable mass and dimensional object could revolutionize measurements, which might not sound the most practical until you realize just how much we rely on dimensional accuracy for so many things.
There’s some experiments where we fire a laser at things, and we’re approaching powers (zetawatts) where things basically instantly melt. Having a material that can withstand that could allow experiments that could push our understanding of light, nuclear reactions, quantum mechanics, and more.
From a practical aspect. If it, say, absorbs heat. Having a limitless heat sink could potentially let us explore deeper into the Earth’s core than ever before (where the heat and pressure really caused issues for the drills).
And all that is just off a few seconds thought from a non engineer.
- Comment on Why nor???? 4 weeks ago:
It really depends on the other material properties. Like if it’s as slippery as nylon vs as slippery as rubber is really gonna change things. Plus how does it react to outside forces trying to destroy it? Absorption? Diffusion? Conversion (like heat into sound or something).
All that would drastically change what you could do with it
