Microsoft’s phone link app works with iphones messaging app now.

I’ve tried. I even had a PS3 i kept with it when it was taken off all the storefronts for a while to keep trying.

I just can’t do brawlers. It’s not my type of game. I wish.

I read the original comic on paperback in black and white, went to launch parties for the releases, then bought it in colour, lost both sets in moves, bought it all in digital form, then again in a physical box set when I settled down. Saw the movie several times in theatres and own the original bluray and then 4K release bluray as well. I also bought Lost at Sea and Seconds as my first gifts to my now wife.

Suffice to say, I’m a fan of the series and the creator.

I fucking loved the new spin on it. So so so much. I loved getting to explore some of the other characters who didn’t get as much spotlight in previous adaptations. I loved the whodunnit we got to explore with Ramona, who is much closer to the Ramona of the books than the movie, and I felt was a welcome change, even if the portrayer (who I still love) was the same. The Easter eggs and hints for the fans of the series were great as well.

The one thing I kept looking for, hoping for, waiting for … where the fuck is Lisa Miller.

I’m commenting on this again because I actually tried this tonight. The info is pretty sparse. I know it’s an alternate install method, but in bottles there’s a lot of variables.

Even just knowing which runner was used in testing would help a ton, as there are quite a few, and each has tons of versions.

They’re counting on people being complacent and just whitelisting.

The problem is, they’re probably right to try the tactic too. People need those dopamine hits.

Thanks!

That economic loss isn’t affecting the people it needs to affect for there to be real change. That’s the problem.

On my main server: I have my SSD RAID1 ZFS snapshots of my container appdata, VM VHDs and docker image, that is also backed up as a full backup once per night to the RAID10 array, then rsynced to the backup server which then is uploaded to the cloud.

The data on the RAID is backups, repos or media that I’ve deposited there for an extra copy it for serving via Plex/Jellyfin. I have extra copies of the data, and if I were to lose the array totally, I wouldn’t be pleased, but my personal pictures/videos wouldn’t be in danger.

I run two back up servers, which both upload to the cloud. One of which takes bare metal images of all my computers (sans servers bulk drives), the other which takes live folders.

This is more due to convenience so that I can pull a bare metal image to restore a device, or easily go find a file with versioning online if necessary on both accounts.

As a wise man said, you can never have too many backups.

Slides from 20 years ago.

This is news, yes, especially considering that Apple made a deal with the devil considering its new self-reported bloom as privacy focused.

But news headlines are acting like Apple just said this today, and that is complete headline bait.

Xbox’s subscription service didn’t stop Bethesda’s RPG from dominating sales charts last month

The myth being that game pass nukes sales.

I’ll build your shelves if you build my shelves

Yup. That simple.

There are some deaths that will do mankind a great service. His is one of them.

Let’s hope his follow up doesn’t have the ability to continue sowing the seeds of discord.

100% right here with you.

The main missions were definitely soft and the games overall have their warts, but that base mechanic was pure art.

You could take all the care in the world and special ops the shit out of it, or you could go in there and Rambo the shit out of it, and each would work or wouldn’t for various reasons and the difficulty scales well enough that you don’t just automatically pick the latter every time.

Only other games that have scratched that itch have been MGSV, Ghost of Tsushima and Sniper Elite.

Most games have some variety of this now but those three along with Far Cry build and scale it well enough that feels like an accomplishment over the course of a whole game.

Good catch. It’s been some time and I was way off. Just checked their menu and it’s 60 days. wayyyy off

I was taken to a very expensive steak restaurant once, and while others got more expensive cuts I got a 10 oz California sirloin aged 8 years in house.

I love steak, I loved steak, I will always love steak, but every steak from that day has to measure up to that one and never will.

I’m so glad I had the experience, but I don’t have $280 to blow on steak each time I want it lol.

“Bumble Bee Tuna”

Love it.

Even better, the tickets are nowhere near $50 most of the time anymore

Elden Ring.

I didn’t love the learning/difficulty curve of Soulsborne games until this one, but it got its hooks in me hard.

I usually spammed most boss fights and played everything a certain way, but here I had to learn the boss’s moves and dodge, parry and use power ups to bring them down.

Worth it. While frustrating, it made me return to other genres and play them again but differently. Hitman, sniper elite, roguelites/likes, anything that rewards patience, really. These now had a whole new facet I didn’t see before, or I did and I was applying it to these games.

I’ve since tried other soulsborne games, and while I now appreciate the difficulty and find them a lot more fun, the exploration and world of Elden Ring was the difference maker for me. It was being able to forge my own path and choose my challenges.
