I started Trails in the Sky on PSP and haven’t been able to stop playing trails games since. Not the best in the series, but definitely where you want to start.

Damn. I wanted this to escalate a little first.

I stay largely uninvolved with social media apps outside of this fediverse project, but why is it that bytedance must divest TikTok while meta is free to keep Facebook and Instagram? Aren’t the risks to mental health and security the same?

I can’t even entrust my video games to a touch screen.

Sony pretty much nailed it on their first try with PSVR.

It’s too late for Apple to close off macOS (and they’ve tried), so I think the goggles are meant to replace it altogether with an inherently closed platform. I hope Apple ends up having to open that platform up as well before it’s too late.

Eh, I still think iPhones are pretty great and serve a purpose, but I do think apple has built their ivory tower way too high. I’m all for reining them in a bit.

According to Facebook, everyone with an Instagram account uses threads (because they pretty much automatically signed them all up for it).

Cue American conservative mouth-pieces growing hate-boners over VPNs in 3… 2…

I’ve never heard of this game, but I’ve enjoyed every telltale game I’ve played. I wishlisted it and will be looking for steam deck performance reviews.

 

Whoever as Square Enix decided this is how “fun” is defined needs to be firmly slapped across the face and fired.

Yes I’ve watched the YouTube videos, I know all the tricks, I’ve been at this for two nights on easy now and I still can’t even make it into the room where you need to do the banishment attack.

There is no way to grind, adjusting the difficulty makes no difference, Yuffie throws in her own direction and not the direction you aim the camera, if you continue on in the story you cannot come back, the reward is an EXP boost material which is only useful on your first play through…

This shit is NOT fun and it pisses me off.

 

I've got an RMA on my Deck over a sticky button issue, so I ordered a 1TB external drive online to back it up before wiping and sending it off.

What's the bare minimum you would recommend I back up if I just want to preserve my desktop settings, apps, and some non-steam game content (since much of that is already tied to my account)?

  1. Is it just a matter of copying folders over in desktop mode or is there an official (or recommended) backup tool I should use?
  2. Would Syncthing, which I use to transfer files normally, be a reliable method to use my Mac as a potential backup location?

Thank you for any advice.

 

Excited to see what kind of mods come out for this!

I can’t recall if I posted this one already. One of my favorite too fighter songs that kind of flew under the radar for a lot of people.

 

I got this game to play with my wife and her family. The characters are adorable, the levels are full of charm, the music is outstanding, and the platforming is really tight.

However, the multiplayer is an exercise in frustration.

  1. The camera constantly jumps ahead at minimal prompts, forsaking anyone who isn’t adept enough to get every jump as perfectly as the best player, even if that player is the kind who is inclined to wait. The camera just makes whoever it follows into an ass to the other players.
  2. Online connection options aren’t intuitive. It cannot even be disabled in the middle of a level. You have to quit, run somewhere on the map, disable it there, go back and restart the level. Contrary to the intent, it takes you completely out of the game.
  3. There is no shared progression with online friends. If a step is particularly complicated and you leave your friend behind, you don’t really have a means to “carry” them through the level or get the items for them. If they get stuck and you want to progress together, you just have to wait in the over world until they struggle it out for themselves. Otherwise hope they understand you as you try to explain what buttons they need to press, when and where. I think my wife and I spent an hour in online co-op with her parents just waiting for them to finish a challenge that her father refused to give up on. We ended up not doing anything else that night and a bit disappointed in ourselves.

I just don’t know why they needed to go with this whole ghost thing. Just let 4 of us play in the same world, the same levels, and collect the same resources. Why is that so hard?

I got tired of waiting for someone to make it so I just did it myself.
