He eats too many Sea Weedies.

I’d say $675 if you add $100 for the motherboard.

$120 listed on Amazon

This is literally the first I’m hearing of this game.

Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it bit him in the face!

-that happened once

Computer over. Virus = very yes

The problem with making things you make free, is that people as a whole are terribly selfish and lazy. They will take anything free and claim them as their own. Individually, tons of people will respect the wishes of original creators, but it only takes 1 single person who doesn’t care who will ruin it. The problem is the Internet has billions of 1’s. You can ask please don’t copy my freely available thing all you want, but it’ll never happen. There will always be those that will repost as thier own. From ideas to assets, nothing is sacred when it comes to the masses.

Talking gives a very small friendship bonus, almost non noticable, but it does a tiny bit. The key is giving gifts. You can talk to anyone while holding anything, and you will give them the thing you’re holding as a gift. Each person likes different things, and will respond if they like it or not. You can track who likes what by clicking on their profile in the social tab ( ❤️ icon). It’ll track what items you gave them and what their feelings on it were.

Also there are items you can discover, and also conversations with others that will clue you in to what some people like.

I mean, it’s true they have a lot of games that use predatory systems designed to trick you into spending more money than you need to. As well as games that are designed purely on capitalizing on base feeling of satisfaction of big number go up. But I feel like this is akin to suing casinos for their games having odds in their favor.

How much of it is on the company, and how much on the player? Like where is the line? If a game is designed to be solely addictive with no other value or purpose, probably should not be acceptable, but how do you make that determination as a games value is different for every individual.

Almost impossible to make a blanket judgement on this, and any legal precedent set by this lawsuit will be troublesome no matter which outcome.

Pretty similar to what’s going on with Twitter right now.

In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.

Ah it was easy enough to get the iron key unlocked during post, as those HP servers take forever to boot, problem was the bios couldn’t recognize the USB. Whatever firmware is on it that does the security confused the system, and while it saw the drive, it didn’t know what it was and wouldn’t boot from it. In both uefi mode, and in legacy bios mode

One thing I can tell you, it’s that you can’t use them as bootable drives to install an OS from. And if you try to pass the USB connection from an ESXi host to a VM on it, it won’t work.

Aside from that, they’re really annoying to work with.

At first thought that it was talking about a llitch. Which I guess is also true.

1st fork on the left - I have 1

4th fork from the left - I have 1, this is my favorite fork

Middle fork- I have a handful

2nd to last fork on the right - I have a handful, decent forks.

Not pictured - that piece of garbage that I have no idea where it came from, that’s somehow simultaneously too small to fit in with the other big forks, and too big to fit in with the small forks. And to top it off, its shape makes it terrible at twirling spaghetti. I seriously don’t know why I still have that piece of junk.

Stuck huh? So FFXVI doesnt count?

The last 20 years spent on FFXIV doesn’t count?

Dragon Quest, doesn’t count?

SaGa Emerald Beyond doesn’t count?

Foamstars… Well arguable if it counts.

Point is, they are not stuck. It is far from the only thing they are making. They just have created an amazing world with FFVII with great lore, great characters, and an amazing story. Multiple games taking place in that world is not that crazy of an idea, nor is it uncommon in the RPG genre. Some of the games sucked, the remakes are awesome. It’s grown beyond a single game at this point, it’s a series. Making more games in a series, does not make a company stuck, especially when they are still release games in other series.

I actually liked .hack//sign

They’re both GIF, and they’re both pronounced correctly, because there is only one way to pronounce it, and there is no other way.

I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

They actually didn’t come with memory cards. Sony back then was just as money hungry as they are now. You had to buy them separately. They were around $20 or $25 for a Sony branded one, but you could get 3rd party ones for cheaper.

Man, I can’t wait until the day I don’t exist anymore. My existential crisis is that I’m currently forced into existing.
