  Yeah, that was about right. Some of my younger, more moronic friends were making these same kinds of jokes pretty much right away. You know the type, trying to show how cool they were with being edgy. I was already working two full time jobs at the time when this happened so I was kind of in a daze at the actual moment of 9/11. I was more mad that I knew it would be used as an excuse to pass a bunch of bad laws that would screw over everyone and that was right on the money.

  People stopped being dicks and trolls for about 24-48 hours. The came a flood of really dark 9/11 jokes. Essentially any 9/11 joke was already though of within the first week.

  Using one of the most popular and beloved games of all time and calling it “dogshit”… that’s one way to win an argument I guess.

  I use both matrix and irc. different platforms for different stuff

  They go great sliced on to crispy hexagons.

  Psyched! I’ll hold off to see how it plays with Proton to buy it, but my PS3 is long dead so I’d love to play this again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's No Reason to Buy a New Phone Anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do. They are huge, have poor software updates, and generally can’t be used with custom roms (hopefully this changes in the future), but bang for the buck the moto g line of phones is hard to beat. Weirdly, the 2024 and 2025 phones are the best to look at, the newer models are literal downgrades due to memory prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those aren’t official joysticks, but I am somehow doubtful they could be any less shitty than the real deal haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, OK yeah I guess I can see that. I wish it wasn’t such a pain in the ass to hook an atari to a modern display, I really need to try this out now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds frustrating, it never occurred to me to try playing with the paddles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Discman/Walkman thing aside, they were some games that made excellent CDs. The Wipeout games and N2O are the first to come to mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, TI bros o/

  I technically got the TI after already having an Atari though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you intentionally making him play the worst FF game as punishment? /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the atari joysticks were garbage. Only my better third party joysticks held up, the official ones died when I was still a kid and the console was still being sold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My PS1 lasted for 10 years of heavy use, but it still wasn’t indestructible. That’s a term I reserve only for the Atari 2600. I dug mine (I actually own two) out of the ashes of my house that burnt down. Only the atari, a few carts (2600 and NES) and my doc martens survived that fire. Its hilarious that they still work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have mine. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get ready to lay down in my great pyramid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those moutains are so quaint⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The best cheesesteaks I’ve had were on the east coast, not west coast. I’ve also had shitty versions of food everywhere by places that have no idea what they’re doing, you can’t just use some garbage a specific place offers and define regional food quality. For you next fun experiment try ordering a Cuban sandwich essentially anywhere outside of FL and you’re likely to get some embarrassing mutated ham sandwich bullshit.

  I literally returned my last microwave because I discovered it didn’t have a mute feature after I brought it him and set it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lord give me strength⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I considering buying these to mess with my kids, but it would have been a declaration of war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lord give me strength⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to double check and make sure that wasn’t the exact image I took this weekend at Aldi and shared with a couple of friends (it wasn’t). Real friends don’t steal karma that would rightfully have been mine. My kids would have died from extreme eye rolling trauma if I had brought those home from the store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They did add it, it isn’t great and you can still firmly ignore it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It IS squishy in the beginning, but part of that is due to the difficulty tuning changes. I’ve just been playing as if I was building a character for hardcore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He can’t really do it because of his home layout until he gets gets conduit installed or the house properly wired up. The internet gateway is on a different floor and a repeater would likely be needed because of the distance. Also cat6 six cables going down split level stairs sounds like trouble. If he had a coax outlet anywhere nearby I’d suggest he look into a MoCa setup which I’ve had decent luck with in the past (better than WiFi, worse than cat6).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your description of the issue lines up with what I was thinking as well, but my friend who has been experiencing the issues, who is also quite technical, immediately assumed it was an issue on my end. I do believe he uses wifi while I do not. I get so much grief for insisting on a wired connection heh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have played through the game in co-op and solo many times. It is GREAT co-op. The limitation, mor of a feature really (i’ll explain) you’re referring to is that only one person in the group can interact with the same NPC at once if it is quest related (sellers and such do not have this limitation). What this also entails is that only one person in the group needs to accept or return a quest for the whole group. You don’t all need to portal back to the NPC to turn in a quest, just one person can so it while other people go turn in different things, sell items, etc. It is a conventient time saver in my experience, but I can see this perhaps being annoying on your first time playing through the game when you want to see and hear all the dialog/more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screen shot : Rebel Galaxy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was a really fun game. I tried it out when it was free on PSN once and then picked it up on PC and beat it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious about these stutters and what they look like, maybe it has been something I haven’t noticed. One issue I have when playing co-op this time is that there are occasionally momentary lag/desync issues for the person/people not hosting that seems to happen every once in a while. The other person won’t be able to see me (the host) until either I or they use a portal warp away and come back. They report it just shows me standing in place, but they still see all the enemies being killed. It’s really weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve been forced to use the evade skill to avoid the slow highly telegraphed attacks from some enemies that can knock me down below half health. Werewolf doesn’t add any stats by default, so it mostly handles it by a healthy amount of attack damage converted to health. That works well most of the time, but as it is still a melee class the extra bite of ground effects (think aether, poison, or fire on the ground) since the update are now rarely things you can sit still in for more than a moment. Those were always something to avoid, but they seem a bit tweaked now. I definitely feel like I am kiting more bosses than I normally would be.
