It works now, even if later he gets tired of it and walks away it still works now.

it’s an older copypasta but it checks out

Story yes, game no.

The only reason I completed it was because I wanted to see the end, but by the end I hated the game so much I can’t play the entire genre anymore without almost physical pain… The mechanics of random battle and grind cause my spirit to flag and my will to drain, now no matter how good the story of the game is I just can’t.

Xenogears man, I hate that game. It put a deep hatred for random battles into my heart which killed most JRPGs for me.

You could literally hear the CD stop and the random battles load.

I get that their main goal is keeping the proles down, but you’d think there’d be some protection of american hegemony and soft power, it has made a small group of people a lot of money and given them outsized influence of the world.

I use notepad++ like most sensible people so I didn’t even know this was a thing until I read this article and even then, you have to click the button to get the pop up. It definitely should be opt in and not just sitting there, but if you’re just trying to write a quick note it’s not just popping up and stopping you.

Possibly, but then I don’t have complete control over it, also I chirp about the cost/effort, but I like it.

A computer in the corner of my house.

Personal websites didn’t die because of social media, the simple fact is no one wants to run their own server… I run my own server and can tell you it’s a money sink much like a boat.

But it is though, it’s for a feature that you don’t need and can just turn off and never see again…

I use audible, but remove the drm with Libation.

I’m not a christian so maybe I’m not getting it, but the deal is very clear fiddle vs soul. The devil even if he threw the contest still lost, johnny keeps his soul and gets a physically valuable but musically useless fiddle…

That’s concerning… I don’t follow instance drama, but if that’s even half true I’ll switch. Have a source that I can read?

Dr. Pepper is clearly the best, really not sure why they make anything else…

the millennial, working two jobs to afford rent…

I’ve never understood it the other way around, you definitionally have to have your cake to eat it.

What one wants to do is eat the cake and then still have it…

No lie, I actually really love the concept of Microsoft Recall, I’ve got the adhd and am always trying to retrace my steps to figure out problems i solved months ago. The problem is for as useful as it might be it’s just an attack surface.

I’ve been meaning to do a rewatch, what episode (a vague description I could look up myself is enough).

ghost?

nm I looked it up myself.

Why aren’t more people on ghost? It’s a stupid name for what it does, but the $9 a month and keeping the rest is a great deal if you have more than a handful of subscribers.

Cute video, but I’ve got bad news about the quality of that chair…

Mine lasted less than a year. One of those one piece arm rest\supports got a crack and that ruined the stability.
