- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 9 hours ago:
My favorites are probably the Disgaea series and related games (Makai Kingdom, Phantom Brave) and Tactics Ogre. I also like Tactics Ogres more popular little brother, Final Fantasy Tactics.
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 4 days ago:
I guess this is just a difference in how we look at it. I have for decades now used what I perceive as quality/value to decide whether I should buy a game or whether it may be worth if later if it goes on a steep sale. For example, some AAA game that get polarizing reviews or is known to be very short might be an instance where I’d be not be inclined to pay full price because to me, it wasn’t worth the price. Raising the price of a game to $80 means that I personally will want more value out of it. I just bought a game on Steam yesterday for $20 on sale, which was to me worthwhile. If it had been $80, there is no way I would have bought it.

So, just so I am clear, you think that it is silly to want different amounts of quality or value from products based on how they are priced?
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 5 days ago:
They probably meant that it felt like a game that was stripped down and shallow compared to similar AAA “full price” games and I completely agree. After playing the first one, I wouldn’t only consider buying this new game if it was at least 50% off.

The 1997 Fincher movie or the one that you just lost?

Wow, the evil forces of “coke” have made significant territory gains since the last time I saw one of these maps. I have never heard a single person call a random non-coke soda a “coke”. I recently moved to a “pop” area, but I haven’t received any push back from saying soda at least. I did hear some old people here specifically call it “soda pop” though.

I guess if they didn’t read the books, watch the show, or play the most popular and most recent game in the series, then it is fairly reasonable for them to be confused as they won’t know shit.

Must be a Europe thing, I see listings this very moment for some under $100 that can fit a whole chicken.
- Comment on Explains crossfit 3 weeks ago:
We’re clearly thinking of or seeing different products. The older glass convection ovens I used to see were in the $300-$400 ballpark in the US back in the 90s and early 2000s, where as typical air fryers here are all sub $100 unless you are getting a “fancy” model that includes some sort of “grilling” or rotisserie functionality. As you are referring to prices in euros, I can only assume that we had very different marketed products.
- Comment on Explains crossfit 4 weeks ago:
The magic of “air fryers”, other than a good marketing name, was that they were also much cheaper that those awesome glass convection ovens and were not targeting a higher class demographic.

We used to call Panama City the “Redneck Riviera”, but I grew up in FL. The panhandle is most definitely closer to “Lower Alabama” in hindsight. Funny enough, we did call the other part of north Florida “South Georgia”.
- Comment on The joy of going through pregnancy along with your sister 4 weeks ago:
We’ll compromise and say Florida panhandle, which is probably generally worse than either :)

I don’t think patents and copyright “need to die”, but they are currently both overly broad and last far too long. Copyright protection especially has no justifiable reason to be even 1/4 as long as it is.

I just want my grocery store to start playing JRPG OSTs. Buying vegetables while jaming to Chrono Trigger songs would be the best. Black Omen? More like beat Omen.

I’m on a Debian based distro, but it is super simple. To hold a driver, or any package to a version just use “sudo aptitude hold <name or package here>” to undo this at any point just use “sudo aptitude unhold <name or package here>”. If you use the GUI package manager, there is a “Lock Version” option in a menu that does it.
If you’re on a Redhat based distro, Federa et al, I believe the keyword is “versionlock” for yum or dnf, but I would definitely recommend looking at a reference for the command before blinding following me on that one.

I’m responding to you, but this is more for others to see since you moved to AMD.
I used Nvidia cards for many years on Linux and only recently switched back to AMD. The main issues I ran into with Nvidia were related to driver updates breaking things rather than things not working in general. So, I eventually found that holding Nvidia drivers to versions that worked without issues was the best bet and only updating them on occasion after they had been out for a bit and the consensus was that they weren’t breaking stuff.

- Comment on Suikoden US vs JPN Box Art 3 months ago:
I could swear my original US release had some weird combo of the two. I gave away 90% of my PS1 and PS2 games last year so I can’t check now, but I really think it had the main image shown from the Japanese release on the case. Maybe the image was shown in game on the loading screen or something and I am just remembering it wrong.

- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 5 months ago:
$300 isn’t too bad of a price for a 47" 4K where they aren’t getting extra money from your data and ads. I went for the 1080p model because at the distance we sit at it was impossible to tell the difference based on the 4K Roku TV is replaced.
- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 5 months ago:
You mean it doesn’t have any of this yet :)
I say this as someone with two LG TVs. Sure you can just not connect them to the internet, but a lot of people reply on the “Smart” part of the TV to view all their content.
- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 5 months ago:
I got their 1080p 43" “dumb” model for $150 not too long ago. I wouldn’t choose it for my main living room TV, but it is perfectly fine for what I needed it for and they can’t retroactively make it worse like the Roku tv it replaced.
