  Hmm, the emperor Beld, resurrected for the sole purpose of killing the evil Goddess Cardice by the grand Wizard Wart; but due to some magical shenanigans

  spoiler

  I will be locked into an impasse which will cause her to resurrect, as well as myself (a stipulation of my resurrection is that it would cease upon completing my task of killing the Goddess).

  Considering it’s pretty easy to make the main character insanely overpowered, I’ll be in a pretty comfortable position. My biggest issue will be that it was the Japanese version, and I don’t know Japanese. 🤔

  I don’t have data, but as a pharmacy worker one thing that seems very apparent to me is people with non-european/white names getting way more insurance rejections.

  Also, insulin and inhalers should not be so consistently headaches to deal with. Inhaler insurance issues make me want to rip my hair out.

  There’s a disturbing lack of *Phantasy Star Portable 1 & 2 in this thread.

  Also want to second Rock Band Unplugged because it has similar gameplay to the ps2 game Amplitude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite PSP games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was looking to see if anyone recommended this one. Very simple game, but the action and progression are really addictive.

  If GOG just hired one full time intern to go ahead and bake Proton into their platform so they could have Linux support that isn’t completely broken, I’d probably start getting more games on their platform again.

  Good luck creating one of those trendy diy air filters with a bladeless fan.

  relatable.

  If you include the entire history of Windows programs, I have my doubts about this. For instance I’ve had more consistent results running old Windows games on Linux through WINE/Proton than I had in Windows 10. Linux may have better backwards compatibility with Windows programs than modern Windows does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters are officially in the works⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I should probably buy the original Fallout 3 before they delist it on Steam?

  This trend of companies slapping a new coat of paint on old games just to resell it is annoying. Having to rebuy the same game repeatedly is something I was hoping to get away from when I stopped buying consoles.

  Not really the same thing.

  I would love it if someone made a modernized successor to BG2. Real-time with pause. Probably something other than D&D 2.x - then again maybe something based on an osr ttrpg ruleset could be interesting (look, I just don’t like thac0). At least a full 6 member party, and full party control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to lose weight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they are actually correct about the effects of starchy vegetables. They have some benefits - like carrots having beta-carotene, but they are about as unhealthy as refined grains are. Maybe slightly worse. Their consumption should be kept on the lower side, and their detriments can be mitigated or even canceled out by being eaten in the same meal as other high fiber whole foods and sources of unsaturated fats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to lose weight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding to this, because despite the kneejerk reactions, you’re pretty correct on this one. Carrots and peas are both more on the high starch side, not quite as high fiber as other plant foods. So basically you can think of them as being in the same category as potatoes. Starchy vegetables are actually more strongly associated with unhealthy aging than even refined grains.

  And like you said, this isn’t to demonize them. They still have a place in any reasonable diet, it’s just a good idea to be aware of the need for balance with other more beneficial foods like fruit, vegetables, whole grains, sources of unsaturated fats, legumes, and nuts and seeds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Newsflash pal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When you see a food decomposes, it’s going to do something similar in your gut. If you see that a food never seems to decompose, you can bet that’s not going to be great for your gut.

  And fiber really needs to be recognized as the essential nutrient that it is.

  Do you normally add metallic powders directly to your food?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Newsflash pal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hyperprocessed foods are designed to sit on store shelves as long as possible, be addictive, and have just enough flavor to make you want more while at the same time being made of the cheapest possible ingredients, sometimes even including weird things like titanium dioxide.

  Where do you get your fiber?

  You say that as if piracy isn’t just a few clicks away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#StopPayingGames⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We need free software advocates to get a chance to step into this ring. If we could push for a requirement that companies release the source code for their game engines, and public domain them - while still allowing them to retain copyrights of content assets, it absolves them of the responsibility of having to put more work into ensuring the game remains playable, while still giving fans what they need to make it continue to be playable. It also means players would still have to buy the game to play it, unless a total conversion existed.

  The main complication with that route would be 3rd party middleware. They could just be exempt from release requirements, but that would place a rather large burden on fans for having to make alternatives to that middleware to make a game playable.

  Maybe you could try drinking Calea Z tea. It’s an herb that’s believed to enhance the dreams people have at night. But more importantly, it’s a tea that is so offensively bitter that it makes the inside of your mouth feel like it’s being attacked - and that’s coming from someone with a high tolerance for bitterness.

  I forced myself to drink that eldritch brew every night for some weeks. By the end of it, the tea tasted… almost tolerable. But everything has tasted noticeably less bitter ever since drinking that stuff.

  Sounds like Arabica propaganda to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want it to slap me across the face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Supposedly cold-brewing coffee reduces the bitter compounds, so it may be worth trying that if you haven’t already. But on the other hand, caffeine is bitter in and of itself.

  I’ve been experimenting with sweeter herbal teas as a way to naturally sweeten beverages without needing to add sugar. Two of my favorites are chamomile and rooibos, so I wonder if that might be a good way to counteract coffee bitterness.

  Robusta is making a comeback? I remember with the rise of Starbucks, there was a huge anti-robusta push for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want it to slap me across the face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically this, although from what I remember the caffeine difference between light and dark roast is only about 2%.

  It is also worth noting that for most people (due to the standard western diet), their daily coffee is one of the few appreciable sources of polyphenols they’re likely to get, and lighter roasts are a better source of that as well.

  Aaaand if that weren’t enough, dairy cancels out the health benefits of coffee by reducing bioavailability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Linux? Those guys who like to talk about themselves?"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen a software freedom or open-source enthusiast make anything remotely like this argument. When we have criticisms of predominantly open-source-based companies, it’s usually because they’re adding some kind of proprietary scamware into their systems, not because they’re charging money for their services.

  Plenty of people and companies have found ways to generate income - yes, even beyond donations - while still respecting other’s rights. You’re just repeating a lie that’s been debunked and dead for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Windows users find the Threadiverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, wireless latency is well documented. Every controller has at least some latency, and if yours is to a problematic degree, that’s a you issue. As I said before, I don’t have issues with my controllers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Windows users find the Threadiverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, are you saying you have to run scripts to make hdmi default… on Steam Deck? Cause I have the thing in desktop mode, and every time I turn it on while it’s plugged into my tv, it automatically defaults to that tv no problem. What’s going on with your setup?

  Also wireless latency is a problem everywhere, with some controllers being better than others. Gulikit ES Pro works pretty well in my experience, but wired is always going to be faster.
