I’ve been replaying my favorite turnbased jrpgs from my youth. Working my way through final fantasy, beat the first three I’m on number four now. Also playing the og bards tale. Breath of the wild and the old ultimas are next.

Great on my steam deck during long meetings.

You’re probably right, but as a consumer all I saw was “LOL no disk for you, download game via steam.” And blamed steam.

And when they firsy came out they pissed off a LOT of people (including me) when they’d sell physical videogame cases with a piece of paper inside it with the key for downloading. I felt tricked when I bought games that were like this.

Rogue, steal other’s shit and claim it’s mine.

It’s from the brain damage.

When I built my NAS I intentionally bought the latest gen cpu, but kept it in to the 65W series with a GPU chip onboard. It’s an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core @ 3800 MHz. My coral usb does frigate and the integrated graphics chip does jellyfin just fine. I started with ssds, but half of them burned out pretty quick, so I replaced them with spinning rust. But, as-is it can run for an hour on my desktop grade UPS before it shuts down. My proxmox cluster is old laptops that mount an NFS drive from my NAS. So, yes, I took power efficiency into account.

Good question, in that same section it says to subscribe to show interest. But no way to show I’m interested in a US version.

A few tips I just remembered: run away from harder encounters at first. Blow all your money on the front line (first 4 characters) for armor and weapons. Grind your way to level 6 or so before exploring the city and taking out the statues. Make sure you go to the advancement office to level up and to get new spells. By level 7 or so you should be good to start the dungeon. Save often, don’t go too deep, repeat the process of fighting and leaving to heal and grind your way up till the fights are easy, then start exploring.

And based on demand they’re willing to make a US specific model.

I remember this game. I got pretty far in it. It’s super grindy. I remember there’s a part of the city near the starting tavern where there’s a little alcove with two doors facing each other. I spent a long time holding down the forward button and it would auto go in one door, out, into the other one, and back. Opening doors can randomly spawn mobs.

I’d go there fight a battle or two and heal up at the tavern, save, and go back. It’s close enough I wouldn’t normally random encounter before getting back.

I actually just bought it again on gog today. I was a little dissapointed that the legacy mode doesn’t show me the old graphics.

I did something similar by hosting my own everquest server and tweaking the server rules. While it didn’t allow multiclassing, it did bump XP and Gold gain significantly. It also had out of combat near instant healing and mana gain to full. And in combat increased those as well.

It made it so I could an level approperiate solo a dungeon (with a merc), level up as I got deeper and be able to complete the whole thing, and if I was dumb or unlucky wandering nonsters could still kill me.

You coulf also give your character the best gear available which I’d replace every 20-50 levels or so.

I wonder if this has anything to do with them clawing back WiFi7 spectrum for resale.

That sound a pump shotgun makes.

Chi-chick.

Yep!

Non smoker? Free coin pouch!

You forgot forced microsoft account.

Let’s hope this trend continues for all brands that do this.

One thing you may want to consider, amazon and others do free tier instances. You can get a free EC2 instance, throw hugo on that and set it up for serving your text sites. Benefit being, if you mess something up and it gets hacked or compromised, it’s not infecting your home network. They’re about as powerful as an old pi.

If you’re just serving static html, you can also serve that up straight from a bucket. Which makes backup/failover very easy to setup. And even if you don’t want to give amazon your money, there are plenty of hosting providers that offer similar capabilities and free tiers. The thought being that once you grow beyond the free tier you’ll pay for their services since it’s annoying to move elsewhere.

Funny thing about linux, is it’s unenforceable. Even if you get the big distros like ubuntu onboard, someone will make FUbuntu. Even if you get the age crap into the kernel, someone will make FUKernel without it.

That’s the beauty of FOSS. Even if someone doesn’t make those things, I can. There are tons of guides on how to compile your own linux kernel and make your own linux distro.

Plus, who’s age are they going to use for the root user on 99% of the servers in the world?

5mins after a solution is proposed, some 16yr old is going to vibe-code a stub that whenever queried will return the age of 67.
