Momo is FF9 due to a separate listing for Tetra Master starter pack DLC.

I think the larger content creators will push back against this, precisely due to the timestamp issue.

Works again this morning

I’ll play whatever game is good, from whatever platform has the best price, provided it’s compatible.

The other issue is that people who plan to retire at x year will fucking riot if it turn into y year. I’m one of them.

I’ve only ever really liked the original 2 isometric ones, and Vegas. The Bethesda ones are boring.

No but content owners could directly DMCA stuff that’s hosted on usenet, they just don’t.

They absolutely do, which is why the vast, vast majority of content is obfuscated, necessitating the use of indexers.

Depends on the seat. I’ve bought some that lasted 10yrs (previous kid). The one in this instance was a 5yr cheaper one.

Yes. And using an expired seat with your child is against the law (and obviously unsafe), and the fine isn’t small.

Bought a car seat for my toddler. Opened it, manufactured date was 4 years ago! That is, it would EXPIRE in 4mo.

So, I go to return it, and the returns counter guy said they don’t take care seat returns and that it’s not defective! Got absolutely nowhere with him, ended up having to go to a different location and the person there had kids and understood the issue. Ugh.

I’m using Tuxedo OS. Based off Ubuntu, but without snaps, and using a up-to-date KDE desktop environment. I don’t like Cinnamon.

Early-mid 90s.

The latter years of the NES, the entirety of the 16-bit console era (SNES/Megadrive [“Genesis”]), the golden age of PC adventure games & the dawn of multimedia (CD-ROM based games & talkies).

Just before the release of Doom, where FPS took over; and the PSX/N64, where (bad) 3D was teh hotness; is where it’s at for me – likely why I love my MiSTer FPGA so much.

There’s precedent: MLB Lockout. No ball games on TV, people found other things to do.

It took years to recover.

You assume, incorrectly, that people will always care about said professional teams/sports.

A lot of the “care” is in the communal activity of watching a game together with one’s mates. Take the convenience of that away, and people will find something else to do.

It’s excellent. There’s missing art assets (placeholder graphics, especially noticeable with the keepsakes - they’re all just gold rings with a single letter pricetag rn), but the gameplay loop is great, the mechanics all appear to be in place and the audio is incredible (just wait until the zone 2 boss fight).

It absolutely feels like a worthy successor to the original. Mel plays very differently than Zag, but the controls are no less tight. God Mode returns if you dislike “git gud”.

Playing it on my Steamdeck, and thoroughly enjoying it.

The leagues won’t survive if paywalls go up. Watching your team “for free” via OTA broadcast TV is how they got so big in the first place. CBC’s HNIC was huge. More and more, if there are barriers to watching something, many people prior just won’t bother.

Focus on the jokers, NOT the hands. You can easily win the first few stakes with a high card build.

Also remember that cards are scored left-to-right, so chip jokers on the left, mult jokers on the right.

Card Sharp is a very powerful early joker, imo.

Side from being really out of date, yeah, it’s a good distro. Once they finally finish Cosmic Desktop, I may give it another look.

Pretty much all this. I do use my OS drive to dual boot both windows and Nobara. Grub does the heavy lifting. Windows plays along fine.

Highly highly recommend Nobara over Mint if you’re primarily going to be gaming. It’s a fork of Fedora by Glorious Eggshell Eggroll (the guy behind Proton-GE), who himself works for Redhat.

It. just. works.

v40 should be out within a week or two of Fedora 40 dropping on the 23rd.
