It’s not much to chew on, but it suggests that the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake won’t be embracing the elaborate equipment management, regional recommended levels, and other Final Fantasy-ass paraphernalia foisted on the series by Assassin’s Creed Origins and its successors.

1. Who is editing over at RPS?
2. Where can one acquire this Final Fantasy ass paraphernalia? Asking for a friend.

He probably turned spell check off because he can’t stand to be corrected.

Lucas Film had an office in Singapore with a similar vibe

super cool if you want to connect to people irl and want to find physically close organizations :)

Yeah, no thanks.

Anna’s Archive: The New One

Friendly reminder that correlation does not mean causation. I find it hard to believe that the Hormuz closure had much impact on these figures.

Renewable energy at a measurable scale takes years to permit and implement. And this YOY increase is more likely the result of the rapidly rising build out of renewable infrastructure around the world.

This war is a tragedy and a mess, but I do hope that maybe this is a wake-up call for a lot of people and may have significant impacts on future projects.

More likely they will just say “we were developing the API to simplify the development of a native Linux app”

My family income fluctuates a bit more than average so we tend to withhold a bit more just to be safe & make budgeting easier.

Whatever comes back in the refund gets invested either in stocks or renovations for our creaky old home. Mostly the old home.

Sure it’s not a perfect system, but it works well enough for us.

Also people are bad at budgeting (which is kinda math, but really just self restraint). OPs mom is probably upset about the tax bill because that extra cash in her bank account encouraged her to spend more. If it was paid slowly and never seen it would have been harder for her to justify some level of spending.

This is true for so many things.

Free shipping? That business didn’t somehow solve labor and fuel costs - they’re just buried in the price of the products (and why they want you to spend a minimum)

No difference in price between card and cash? It’s because the 2% Visa fee is baked into the price. But hey, the price is the same and you get 1% back in “points” so definitely best to keep using the card. Very classic prisoners dilemma.

“Free checked bag” on your flight? Guess what…

Ive also noticed this with new EV buyers who are shit at budgeting. “Why is my electricity bill $300???” Well sweety you were spending $60/wk on gas +$120/mo on electricity beforehand, but that was several smaller bills soooo…

People are just really bad at processing long-term information.

The adapter I shared has no solder except that which you put into it. It solders into place just fine with a little flux, I’ve had 0 issues in ~20 games from this.

Be sure to clean your iron tip, I had a little bit of difficulty on the first one I did because I have had the same iron tip for like 10 years. A $2 replacement made life much easier. Probably also could have just hit it with sand paper. And double-check polarity on the connection points - watch a couple of YouTube videos to confirm you’ve got +/- right. I think it’s wonky on some carts.

The ones that are soldered and often suck are the ones OP posted. Be sure to check the battery voltage before you install those ones because they use cheap batteries and duds are common.

I’ve also seen people go the cave man approach and just un-solder/pry off only the battery (from the attached “arms” that connect to the board) on old carts and just tape a new battery in place but that’s an approach for monsters and psychopaths.

I’m a bit foggy on the details but I think Pokémon Silver / Gold were a little trickier because the RTC changes the PCB layout and the battery is actually mounted on top of a chip, so space gets a little tight and you have to build a bit of a solder bridge up to the connectors.

No, not free, OPs power bill just climbed behind the scenes to match. Probably a discount but definitely not free.

Just one more AI revolution and we’ll have AGI, trust me guys. This one is gonna be like 100x better at… well, AI stuff obviously.

FYI on the next one - they make CR1616 battery holders (like this) which allow future you to swap in new batteries whenever you want without additional soldering

I figure if I’m gonna do it, may as well just do it once

Enjoy having your old games back!!

Oh I love a good bolt plug.

Not true. I came here to shit on how bad KitKats are.

What’s your vector, Victor?

Signal already has a setting that blocks message content from displaying in push notifications; the case highlights why such a feature might be important for some users to turn on.

That’s a lot of security theater to protect $10-worth of chocolate-like substance.
