which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster

Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They’re just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

I’d recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

FF3 is… okay. It introduces the character class system, which you’ll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.

Yes, but also there are many adult children for whom the same applies.

it’s like pottery, it rims

“Good faith” = corporations screwing you

“Bad faith” = you screwing corporations

There, I’ve simplified it.

As if there weren’t enough money behind Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft is about to buy them. You might as well wish for the oceans to dry up.

What announcement? Your Nitter link doesn’t work

I’d say it’s more that computers only enabled the opportunity for humans to invent the security problems that other humans now have to counter with better computer and human solutions.

Are you talking about accepting payment, or a card for use as a company spending account? I think most answers so far are assuming you’re talking about accepting a card type as payment for your goods and/or services.

Yeah, sure, bringing things back on prem where 90% of organizations do not have comparable resources in-house to manage and secure them, as opposed to leveraging a cloud provider and properly maintaining the shared responsibility model is going to “set us free”.

Pretty sure it’s an old businessman thing. “Go for (my name)!” in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.

Don’t know about ‘battle royal’, but are you talking about Battlebit?

Or in the battle royale genre, there’s TAB:

It’s a great game, but it’s also “baby’s first Zelda” in terms of game mechanics. It’s the first Zelda game my kid managed to play through on their own, and then when I had them try out LoZ, AoL, LttP, etc. they couldn’t believe that you couldn’t just bump into enemies without getting hurt by raising your shield.

It’s far easier than even the Gameboy original, because back in the original you only had two buttons to assign items/equipment to, including the sword and shield, and the run boots weren’t an inherent ability but rather were just another item to assign to one of your two buttons.

In the remake you can simultaneously use your sword, shield, jump feather, run boots, and I believe one more item to boot. It makes it literal child’s play compared to other Zelda games.

That said… I wish they would remake more of them like that, because it is a great looking and fun to play game.

You realize there was a good decade between the first home PC games and the time when computer mice became ubiquitous, right? You’re going to have to say something about the game other than “text based”, because that’s no more descriptive than “mouse based” or “gamepad based”.

If by “well maintained grass” you’re talking about a flat, maintained sports field or something of the sort, likely yes. If you mean grass that’s been cut but the ground is otherwise natural with bumps and holes, then you’ll probably have problems.

It does depend on the chair, but most are not built for off-roading. Also will depend on if you’re the pusher or if you’re talking about propelling yourself (as the wheelchair occupant).

But also know that understanding isn’t always going to bring resolution. Sometimes all you come to understand is that the people who raised you are, in actuality, thoroughly racist.

I wish I could find it easier to simply ignore my aging parents’ political views like I do with most acquaintances in the deep red state I live in, but I can’t.

The people who raised me to be kind and emphasize with others now base their worldview in fear and hatred. As far as I’m concerned my parents died sometime around 2016 (or perhaps before then), and there are some kind of racist pod people in their place.

Bullshit that only true bullshitters can spew.

(I know this post is a month old, but I just came across it.)

We deal with this by not dealing with it, so to speak. We keep the on-prem AD account disabled and just move it to a synced OU called “Terminated”, then strip all group memberships/permissions from it. Once we’ve held onto the shared mailbox for the required length of time, we then delete both the on-prem AD account and the shared mailbox.

So as soon as fascists take it, it’s gone for good? Fuck that, and fuck fascists. Your attitude sounds a lot like letting them win to me.

Or we could ignore people that don’t understand hyperbole used as a joke.
