Oh yeah? Well, I’ve pooped at a significant fraction of the speed of sound

I stopped. Anyone who wanted to keep in touch with me was given other methods of doing that. Anyone else who couldn’t be bothered to spend 20 extra seconds? Not worth having in my life.

Uma (馬) is horse in Japanese and musume (娘) is daughter (or young, unmarried woman, I guess). Beyond that, I have no idea what is going on.

Source? I can see people violating their visa conditions but, AFAIK, there are very few cases in which a company can legally stop you from working a side hustle or fire you for one. The one exception to that is conflict of interest/non-compete.

Some companies can have social media policies that would make youtube a bit more annoying, but not impossible.

No one in rural Japan (or at least my corner of it) is doing meshtastic. Japan is more strict on power as well. I am a licensed HAM and even that is pretty thin on the ground up here these days. I had family visit and one brought a node. Nothing at all anywhere we travelled even in one of northern Japan’s biggest cities

Nice. My wife and I are one different carriers purely for disaster purposes. I used to have a wifi router on a third as my travel/work-backup. This is a good step for major disasters.

The downside is that, in the event of large-scale power outages, it will only be so helpful. When I lived in the US, I rode out hurricane Ike in Houston and we had no cell service as the battery backups on the cell towers slowly expired. Some in 24 hours, the longest I think in 72.

Yet people have zero self control and keep giving them money.

Basically. The R sound isn’t the same as English’s R so it’s a bit misleading in romaji, but basically yes.

Link to the Past was so cool when it came out and such an upgrade. It’s still my favorite zelda game (and it has a randomizer and great community!). I didn’t play OOT until sometime in my 20s and hated how clunky it was; I still prefer the non-3d zeldas.

Yeah, I really just wish it wasn’t in games since it’s almost always done poorly yet also the only way to get some backstory which feels forced and dumb.

The real reason is probably more that I was not a fan of early 3d stuff in general. The camera was kinda crap, the controls didn’t feel great when walking around, etc. Not just an FF thing, either; this was for games as a whole except for racing games. I hated Starfox as well (coming from the Amiga world, some stuff felt like going backwards).

Being able to suplex a train, though, was a nice bonus.

I personally was not interested in them at all. I was much more a fan of 6 than 7. As such, no idea on the quality.

I’d be fine with Square Enix going away. In my opinion, they got greedy and way too full of themselves. Nintendo as well, for that matter.

Research has shown that many readers today greatly value quick overviews of any article, before the reader considers whether to dive into the article’s full text.

I’m in my mid 40s and this is true of me depending upon why I might be reading something. Sometimes, I want to do a deep dive; sometimes I just want to know roughly what thing is.

However, let me say: fuck AI summaries.

There were unpatched issues in the first one (it’s been so long now I don’t remember them all but there was one in a DLC where you’re supposed to be able to give an item to a robot NPC but it was just broken in addition to several others).

Looking at the price and thinking of that, it was a “pass until decent sale” for me.

I do like the setting generally (at least based on the first one). It might be neat to have someone else take over the IP and go somewhere with it.

Fuck Pitchford and Take2 – sell the IP to someone who will do something cool and bring back Eddings.

We don’t, really. I certainly grew up without them. It did both good and bad things. It did centralize and simplify some things, but that came at a cost of freedom for more power users. It was great for sorting out dependencies at a time games were still often bad at doing that cleanly on their own for less-technical people. I think it did good things for community, though, particularly for those of us who did not use any modern consoles that had various party/SNS-like features baked in.

It sounds like a better use of that person’s time might be doing requirements/design work on the subway. Probably less obnoxious to the people around as well.

Get all my games working and, more importantly, my video editing software. I had the video editing software working, updated the OS, and it broke. This is not something that has happened to me under Windows, as much as I dislike it. I work two jobs and have home maintenance; I don’t have time to sit and troubleshoot and manually tweak things. Solve that and I will be on linux full time.
