Bring on the bad ones, we’ll kick them all out not vote for them.

Come on, let’s at least try to be a bit proactive next time, eh? Nobody wants to go through this bullshit again.

I did similar. 1/2” sheet of ply board, staple down the mat edge trim with a staple gun, and tape down the edge with duct tape. Didn’t even need the acrylic sheet or whatever and I used that mat for years.

Currently using the soft mat as is because I don’t have a lot of space and it’s nice to fold it up into the cube storage under my coffee table when not in use. I put some silicone grip tape under the arrows to keep it from sliding around much when in use, and it’s good enough up to around 8-10 difficulty.

Supposedly he thought it would increase his dismal polling numbers, as military action tended to do so for previous presidents.

Also, to distract from the Epstein files and several other things people are actively upset about.

Hell yes.

Just a cheap Ostent mat.

There’s options from just this up to like $400 hard pads (L-Tek). It’s also cheap and easy to hard mod a soft mat like what I have if you’re interested.

Try Dance Dance Revolution. I’ve been weightlifting for years but hate cardio. DDR got me moving and sticking with it because it’s fun and gamified via scoring.

ITGMania for the app and Stepmania Online or Zenius-I-vanisher for song packs.

Edit - ITGMania is an In The Groove oriented application. There’s also Outfox which is available on Steam.

I use ITGMania with XX Starlight theme which switches it to a DDR Max/Supernova style and scoring.

If you’re new to DDR none of this will matter to you, but figured I’d add it just in case, especially since IIRC In The Groove may have tighter frame timing for steps, I forget. 🤷

Good place to compare device sizes.

I get free Epic games from Prime Gaming, but I refuse to redeem them on principle. You couldn’t pay me to use Epic, or even give them an inkling that I support them.

I considered it briefly when they launched, and then they pulled the bullshit of game exclusivity on PC, which is why I left consoles behind. Because of that, I’ll never purchase from them.

Not really, six feet will do.

Watched Jacob’s Ladder a lot, I take it?

All good, and picking it up on sale is a good idea. I finished it today. It’s a good game and the gameplay loop is fun, but the story was just… ugh, convoluted to fit into Final Fantasy canon. The plot suffered from “good idea, poor execution.”

I game often, and 100% on Linux. Unless you’re doing competitive multiplayer games with kernel level anti-cheat (read: rootkit malware), games run perfectly fine.

What anime is this?

I quit consoles because of the exclusivity nonsense

Nintendo was included in that statement.

Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned Metal Gear Solid V and Peace Walker.

That being said, I do think EGS is going the correct route by investing in games / unique games and locking them into their platform.

I strongly disagree. I quit consoles because of the exclusivity nonsense, and EGS guaranteed I will never buy anything from them by doing that shit. I won’t even redeem free games on their platform via Prime Gaming, just on principle.

You compete by giving devs and publishers a better cut, or convincing them to do deeper sales on your platform. You compete by providing a better service to users. You do not compete by literally not competing.

Technically sigterm first says “please stop. Don’t make me shoot you.”

It only goes John Wick on a process when civility fails.

The iPhone’s auto-correct is the worst by far. And I don’t get it because it was actually good around iOS 16 or so. Since 17 it’s been utterly terrible and constantly corrects words that are already what I wanted, making them wrong.

I’m enjoying it. I bounced off the game the first time I played as I was expecting maybe a more traditional Final Fantasy experience and it didn’t click with me. I’ve played a few souls-likes since and the gameplay is meshing better for me now, though it’s still difficult at times.

Combat is enjoyable, but the gear filtering and management is kind of annoying.

I’ve read it’s similar to Nioh’s gameplay but I’m not familiar with that one.
