Kiwi Rook giving out that armor and being a friend. Gotta love it.

100% agree on the Mazda 3. I have a 2016 3 sport and I’m still in love with it. My next car will probably be the 2023 or 2024 Mazda 3 turbo depending on the type of deal I can get with a used one. In the entire time I’ve owned this car it has given me less problems than even the 2008 Toyota Yaris I had before it did, and I still thought that little guy was reliable. I’ll stan Mazda all day now. If I didn’t live in the north east, I’d get a MX-5 today… and hell I’m still tempted even though it would not be a “great” idea.

No, I’m replaying 8 via the mobile remaster right now and that is what you can do and how the game essentially explains why it happens. It only works with Squall and Seifer as well.

I installed PopOS last year after I got fed up with bloatware, adds, and just outright annoying “notifications” in windows 10 and 11, and I haven’t looked back.

I found a great resource in the ProtonDB website for configuring proton settings as I have also occasionally had games not work properly that are steam deck verified. There are typically enough people posting how they overcame issues and their build components so you can try to match up their fixes with your computer parts. It helps a ton most of the time.

Nice! Glad to hear that you are enjoying it, happy that the recommendation worked for you! Agreed about the armor. I did miss that. I did enjoy the weapon level ups and finding rings that worked well together. It was a good way to scratch the first person dungeon crawler itch.

Infamous Second Son and the expansion pack take place in Seattle.

I just finished Days Gone earlier this week, and that game was solid. I wish I played it sooner.

I have the Cuisinart model basically right under the tier of the one linked. It doesn’t have a digital display, but it has knobs for controls and timers.

I absolutely love my machine and I’ve had it for about 4-5 years now. It toasts, bakes, and air fries. It does all of those things pretty well. When used to bake, it is so much more efficient than my oven, it is wild. Baking times are lower and the heat up prep time is easily less than half as long if not shorter than the oven, I assume due to the size of the machines.

I would focus on getting an air fryer than can toast and bake as well if you do get one. It fully replaced my toaster, and when reheating food or cooking small batches, I just do not use my oven anymore. Even toasting in it is quick due to the size of the cooking area and location of the pan locations close to the heating elements. It bakes a “take home and bake” style bagel wonderfully, which is now what I’m going to do for breakfast.

I’m Jay and this is my hetero lifemate Silent Bob…

No, not at all. She does have some interesting faces while she is laying around at peace. The rescue I got her from told me she was a part of a feral cat colony living on the streets, so while I think she could fight with the best of them; she is a lover at heart.

Yes, they do! They have very different personalities, but still get along well.

What does Biden and Democrats (assuming from the US) have to do with an Australian company?

Article says it’s from an entirely different country….

The game must be inconsistent, as I had 1 crash when attempting to join a friends lobby through the in game menu and a steam invite at the same time, but nothing else after. I didn’t have to adjust settings in Steam. Game just worked with no questions. Running Pop OS with a 4080. Runs fantastically.

I was honestly surprised I didn’t have to adjust anything after reading some complaints online.

I appreciate it! I’ll take a look at that post as well.

You are a champion! Thank you for this info! I’ve been wanting to install something else on my Surface pro 7 since I started using W11 on it and immediately disliked it. Your comment just turned that into a much easier process for my weekend!

I also crave a new Kings Field! Some of my favorite childhood games.

Have you heard of Lunacid? Indie PC game that fully released this year by the developer behind Lost in Vivo. It’s absolutely crammed full with the legacy of Kings Field. First person dungeon crawl with magic rings to equip (Eternal Ring!) and a weapon stamina build up mechanic like KF. A TON of hidden secrets behind fake walls. Very obscure story that you piece together by the few characters in the game and environmental story telling.

I wouldn’t call it a perfect Kings Field clone, but it sure scratched the itch. It’s on Steam for probably 15-20 usd.

Seeing you here makes Lemmy feel even more like home… Thank you for all you do!

I think that was called project aria or ara… something like that. A fully modular phone seems so great! I hope that concept is used someday like the Framework uses on their laptops for ports.
