I agree, I didn’t like the new combat system.

But I really like turn based combat. I don’t like to have to run around, spam buttons, or time anything right. I like to read and have time to make a decision. It’s a personal preference, but one that made me not get very far in the remake.

I’ve been trying to fill in the data around me. It’s not there yet. But I’m trying.

And I’m not in some backwater area. I’m just outside Chicago and when I go into the city I’m still filling things out.

Erowid when I was younger. Then pill reports to make sure what I was getting was what I expected.

There are published manuals from the US army on improvised munitions too.

“maga are complaining DOGE engineered got fixed.”

Jesus fucking Christ, it’s the federal government. The public sector. We are fucking ENTITLED to know who runs our government.

Sure, but we can’t ever stop talking about it either. We need more, too. But we need to keep making people aware. Keep it in the news, keep it in public discourse.

Saw a guy bragging on YouTube and didn’t even stop to consider that the dude was just full of bullshit?

God damn, we’ve lost all ability to think critically.

They already do. CARB. California Air Resource Board.

A lot of auto makers already use carb standards because it’s such a huge state. It has its own issues like certain aftermarket parts need to be CARB approved such as intakes for whatever reason.

It’s actually title is District Attorney. But I court it’s the prosecutor and the defendant.

That’s how it’s supposed to work here. But the position can be political where the DA is elected and to appear “tough on crime” they prosecute even when they should throw out cases.

Most cases don’t even get to a court though. The majority get some sort of plea deal. The whole process is so fucked up, that a non-insignificant number confess even though they are innocent to just be done with the whole ordeal. Defending yourself can bankrupt someone and ruin their mental health.

Our system is rife with corruption and, IMHO it should be a lot harder for police and district attorneys to ruin someone’s life.

Me too.

Police aren’t prosecutors in the US. But they work closely with the district attorneys who do prosecute. As in they provide the evidence to them and provide their recount of the situation and circumstances to the prosecutor and if it goes to trial can be called to testify against you.

Additionally, many police programs incentivize or measure an officers efficiency based on the number of arrests or tickets they produce.

Often since the prosecutors and police work towards the same goal of securing a conviction, we lump them together even though they are different agencies.

Yea. I feel it’s a little underpowered. But I’ve got retroarch on it. It’s nice to be able to easily get psp and psvita games on it. Even if half are psx ports.

It’s become my main gaming machine at the moment. But I’m not much of gamer.

I meant as in, I as a player don’t need to be able to make changes that dramatically alter the game world in which I am playing and alter the story beats that I’ll hit.

I don’t like having to make a decision that may lock off entire areas or missions in the game. I no longer have time to devote a replay of a 60 hour game so that I can experience a different story line.

Otherwise, yes. The stakes the character faces in the story don’t always need to be “save the world.”

Personally, I am playing the game to enjoy the story of the character I am playing as. Not to play as me and make my own personal decisions.

I want a corridor. It means they actually have to tell a story. Open worlds are too often mostly a large collection of lore for you to slowly read and tease out. But world building and lore doesn’t make a game. For many of us, it’s about the journey and story. I don’t need to make world changing decisions when I’m playing “hero.” I want to know heros story with all its cliches and tropes. Give me puzzles to solve, challenges to overcome, and entertaining gameplay instead “choose your own adventure.” It’s like the industry collectively decided that player agency, open worlds, and having options that changed how the story went somehow is what made a game good.

Att’s usage meter sucks.

Did you check for registry keys too?

Procmon is the shit.

The issue I was having was getting a hyper-v host to connect to an iscsi array on a nimble. That first result was pretty much exactly what I needed. It didn’t highlight it in the preview, but it was on the page once I opened it.

I’m starting to give up on Google. I’ve literally copy and pasted the same error message in Google, DuckDuckGo, and Kagl.

Google will respond with “no results found” while the others will actually give me a response.

Or the docs are just out of date and literally don’t mention this feature added 2 years ago.

Unifi. I’ve got a box of APs as ewaste just sitting in the basement. Every so often I would get more ewaste from companies I work with.

I don’t need the most demanding of wifi systems. I hardwire most of my stuff whenever possible. And I have a fairly small home. A single AP on the main floor, 1 AP on the basement. 1 AP in the detached garage.

Most of my wifi devices are iot things on their own vlan.
