    Mattresses

    I dunno we have a purple now and it's not been great. So now we have a foam topper on top of a purple and it's better. Honestly the generic pillow top mattress we have in the guest room is the most comfortable. I think it was a Sealy. Several people have told me the air mattress brands are...

    Vanguard of the Fallen - My EQ Based RPG Project

    It's very handy with Python to not have to stand up a server, only tricky bit is setting up templates with all your esoteric libraries if you use stuff that isn't in their standard Linux distros

    Vanguard of the Fallen - My EQ Based RPG Project

    Right but what I'm saying is more like either you build an auth server to actually handle key redemption or it's just locking the front door while handing out enough keys they can just copy to give whomever access anyway. In that case just use a time based key in the installer or something, I'm...

    Vanguard of the Fallen - My EQ Based RPG Project

    Other than F&F no, at some point you're building an auth server though. You can do old school cd key validation but then they can just give the same code with the executable out to anyone.

    Vanguard of the Fallen - My EQ Based RPG Project

    Why do you need to validate keys exactly? Otherwise could just host a static site in S3 since you gotta distribute the files anyway. If you really want to do keys can use lambda to generate and distribute I would think.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I made it to 98 and the story (setting aside wuku lamati or whatever the fuck) is slightly more interesting, but it does feel like it hits a lot of themes already done. In fact the dialogue options let you refer back to past expacs to compare your situation to several times. The thing that...

    Here's another one: "No need for thanks, now!" which is supposed to be Vow I'm pretty sure since that is one of the titles. Just terrible translation.

    Isn't that all the new Intel GPUs are for? Alchemy/Battlemage/etc. Granted they are very far behind. Bigger issue is they aren't hyped rather than lack of product though.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    So here's what I'm talking about story wise though: After you go through the entire opening story arc and all the nonsense that is, there's an event and then one of the characters says "oh we hate to involve you in our affairs" or something like that. Bitch, what the fuck have you been doing...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yea totally that's the only problem, it's def one dimensional. https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-ev-transition-explained-2658463709 There's also definitely not tens of millions of apartments that have no charging infrastructure and a complete lack of public chargers in most of the country's land area.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    lmao I guess half way through the story. Pretty much every dialogue choice I was like 'is there really no other option? I don't agree with any of this shit'. There was a way to present this story as either like B plot comedy or foreign novelty. Instead they tried to play it straight and it...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    They made steam powered cars too, you can fab one today if you wanted. It doesn't make it practical. Reality is the country doesn't possess the infrastructure to support EVs for mass market, and it isn't in a hurry to build it. So they're toys for people with specific narrow use cases or who...

    When we got our dog he really liked driving in the truck but maybe hadn't been in a vehicle before. The first time windshield wipers came on he flipped the fuck out and fell out of his console seat backwards. He got used to it after that. He loved going for rides didn't matter how long. 5...

    That's fine and if it was literally just find the city or gold it would be Indiana Jones expac and be ok. The whole political thing is aggravating.

    Blame the games. I still bought like 5-6 indie games this year that just looked "fun". I used to love RTS games. Genre dead. Old battlefield was amazing. Game is dogshit microtransactions cycle. I used to play shooters all the time, haven't bought one since maybe CODBLOPS 2 or something...

    This story is a swing and a miss so far. Koushirou is exactly right that, they could transition the A/B stories later on but man its bad so far. The protagonist is retarded and naive, everyone acts like its some sort of duty to see it through. The whole mishmash of the main city is... yea I...
