I will try to remember

Thanks for chiming in! Honestly, Materia is the thing I find most intriguing in the game, so I may stick around to see how that develops.

Ah ok thanks. I don't think I played VIII, then.

It's so well regarded, I kinda feel like I'm missing something. I remember bring really excited about it when it came out, since I had played all the FF releases in the US up to that point. However, I had gotten a computer so I could play Diablo, so my parents would not shell out for a PlayStation.

I ended up playing it some at a friend's house, but right away I was not impressed. I've always guessed that its success was linked to the success of the PlayStation, and I think it introduced a lot of people to FF. Hell, if I didn't have the amazing games from NES and SNES to compare it to, I probably would have been a fan.

Ok thanks! I'll stick it out until Costa Del Sol.

I played VIII and IX years ago on roommates' consoles. IX I really remember loving the story and characters, but I didn't remember the combat at all. I don't remember much about VIII, but I know I played the hell out of Blitzball.

Thanks. Yeah, I really wanted to like it.

I remember feeling underwhelmed by it as a kid when it first came out, but I never got a PlayStation. For the time, the art style and graphics were really cool, but the menus and combat system really felt like a step down for me, especially considering how awesome VI was.

 

I finished a very enjoyable playthrough from start to VI thanks to Pixel Remasters, and I bought VII-IX on Switch to keep it going. I'm on the first arc in Kalm after leaving Midgard and I am finding it a struggle to get through. This game moves so slow, the story is not at all interesting so far, combat is entirely monotonous, the characters are flat, the controls are clunky, and the cut scenes are excruciatingly long and pointless.

I do not want to play through it for completeness sake, but I also don't want to give up too early.

I feel like I should be enjoying it by now, right? Is there some point in the story where it really takes off? If so, how close am I?

Roughly 1M anecdotes in the comments already

So very heartwarming the ethnic cleansing has been for Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Western hegemonic powers happily letting it go on to keep Azeri oil flowing cheaply.

Yes, it's a relief that the war is ending, but do not construe this as some fairy-tale ending.

It's an extraordinarily racist and ignorant posture to take. African American Vernacular English is a widely known dialect at this point and is really interesting to learn about.

 

Great recent post from Grognardia.

Is it really? I've always understood the cult around it as a joke.

But seriously, RTFM.

From a show my band played last November.

If you have or know a band looking for a show in our area (Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati) hit us up.

 

German weirdo metal... maybe occult metal? I don't care, it rules. Raw and very much doing their own thing, which is rare and exciting. They released a new album in December, but this is the earliest one on Bandcamp.

 
 

I'm admittedly yelling at cloud a bit here, but I like package managers just fine. I don't want to have to have a plurality of software management tools. However, I also don't want to be caught off guard in the future if applications I rely on begin releasing exclusively with flatpak.

I don't develop distributed applications, but Im not understanding how it simplifies dependency management. Isn't it just shifting the work into the app bundle? Stuff still has to be updated or replaced all the time, right?

Don't maintainers have to release new bundles if they contain dependencies with vulnerabilities?

Is it because developers are often using dependencies that are ahead of release versions?

Also, how is it so much better than images for your applications on Docker Hub?

Never say never, I guess, but nothing about flatpak really appeals to my instincts. I really just want to know if it's something I should adopt, or if I can continue to blissfully ignore.

 

That's fuckin it. I'm done with everything

... And that grinds my gears, a bit

It must be considered solid terrain and not a hazard. I assume that this is treated like a physical feat, rather than a supernatural one, so the monk would get stuck in the web trying the dash through. The animation, however, uses the same as levitation, and you can levitate over the webs when levitating from a potion.

I interpret use of this animation of the monk "flying" as acrobatic flips and maneuvering to avoid traps or stuff on the floor. So is the web stretching from floor to ceiling? If so, why can you levitate through it? Seems inconsistent.

First offering from Head of the Demon; occult black/doom metal from Sweden. All three of their releases are highly recommended.

 

I've recently picked up an Intel P4000 and I'm purchasing some parts to set it up. Since it's an older platform, I get that there are some limitations on what I can use, so I'm worried about buying things that aren't compatible.

I'm interested in installing a Dell Boss N1 Monolithic to run Proxmox in RAID1, but have some concerns:

  • Will it even work with my system board? Maybe my search skills suck, but I can't glean from the Internet how tightly controlled Server hardware ecosystems are. Would my mb even recognize a component like this, or the drives installed on it?

  • What drives work with it? According to the user manual, there are only three supported drives, and they have to be 480gb or 960gb in size. Had anyone tested using different NVMe M.2 drives?
