    The Fast Food Thread

    Uno and Due's are quite good, but pretty much at only the original locations. I've never heard good reports for the franchised ones in other states.

    Well wtf. I’m down for more. The finale certainly leaves some options open. But hell I’d be ok with some blue ray releases too.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'd bet they're trying to move to a general "TOS" more like the FF14 one. So in this case, very unlikely to be actual disabilities. The FF14 players have internalized being "nice" over close to a decade- where as the wow players have cultivated toxicity over the years. So yeah, Arbitrary...

    VRR works on the LG's all the way back to C9 now, which is pretty nice.

    Pesky- BRD would be the last thing i'm leveling for the role quests. Oh well, patch will probably not take that long.

    It's such a weird thing to dork out about what is essentially a business card. But they are pretty cool.

    New Prae makes me sad for the past. I should have taken better notes as to the xp pre and post. Got 2 mil at level 77, but its definitely fast, and the bosses aren't 100% faceroll now. Just like 80%.

    Yoship touched on Sam too. He seemed quite conflicted. Apparently crit scales too well for them now, so later in the patch cycle it’s probably gonna be nutty once the substats catch up. We shall see. I’ll see if I can paste the thoughts in later. It’s quite long tho.

    Don’t read moonrunes anywhere near enough to know. It was all in the live chat that derailed yoship for awhile. They translated his comments in the discord. But it sounds like meddling for the sake of meddling as well as making everything that doesn’t fit in the 2 minute window fit, even if it’s...

    Would have preferred one of the other Nier songs to go along with it, but it's still a Nier song- so well worth the purchase price.

    Working my way through the translation of the patch note read through on the ff discord. Sounds like the JP folks are fairly miffed about the NIN and SAM changes. AST and DRG are getting larger reworks come 6.2. Patch is up on the launcher- and they may actually bring the servers up early.

    MSQ duty is gonna be so weird now. Looks like it'll still be a truckload of poetics. Can't imagine the xp will hold up, but should be zippy. Conflicted.

    Street Fighter 6

    No comment on whether it's easy mode that way or not. But how does anyone who is that far the rabbit hole as to be fucking around with sf1 not know what negative edge means?

    Not a given anymore, but I'd expect some more info at evo, assuming it actually happens this year.

    Gardening completely skipped my mind, but yeah that makes some amount of sense. I figured it was more collecting pets and making pretty. Either way.

    They pretty much glossed over the job changes in it, DRK is getting a life leach while in zombie mode to help not expiring. Definitely seem to be pruning some skills again too. Looks like they lowered various animation locks too, NIN, DRG, and RDM mentioned. More minor notes...

    Also consider that it's possibly been close to 6+ years for a ton of people since they saw him last.

    AFAIK no, the disc version is upgraded to a ps5 version that needs the ps4 disc to be inserted to play.

    Gran Turismo 7

    I'm enjoying it quite a bit more than the last few iterations. And the ps5 ssd makes the inevitable retry run spam sooo fast.

    HDTVs

    Oled all the way. The 22 model year should be coming out soonish, but any of the models from 2019 on are quite good. Yer gonna pay like 1200 or so for a 55, but there are usually decent discounts throughout the year on older models. Also a 48" is a possibility if that works and it's actually...

    Lol you are probably drinking your own kool-aid there, but if it was a signifcant jump in grinder quality- either the new grind size suits your taste more or it's significantly more uniform in grind size. Either way, grats. It's always nice when a new toy works out better than expected.

    Got it going in my VMware setup. Yeah the UI is overly complicated for setting docker shit up, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to setup whatever the hell the linux version of jails are to just use docker compose-files. I did find the other main? catalog to pull docker apps from. But...

    I MAY have, depends how new of a thing this is. I watched the vid you linked about the mod for your grinder and saw something similar, and LOLLED. Although i did figure out what he has doing pretty quickly. I figured it was to minimize the static formed boulders, but still... A good tamping...

    Clearly, i haven't kept up with coffee autism. The bellows must be reaching peak levels. Lol. But if yer fractional gram counting with a technovorm. Might as well go all in.

    Thats... Well bravo for dedication to drip or I hope at least some pour over. I was thinking it was close to what i paid for my Rancilio in 2019- but nah off by ~100 or so. On the other hand looks like what i have went up is up over $420 now. Eesh. Interesting angular look on it tho, if...

    I’m more of a bsd fanboy than linux so I’m sticking with core. That said, docker images are fairly amusing. Might try to convert my vm test system over to scale to mess with since it’s a one way trip from core. more work to setup, but you can run a Linux vm in core and run them that way too.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'll admit i haven't looked at the latest numbers in well over a couple years now, but I assume it still mostly holds true. The number of people who engage in high level raiding is vanishingly small. The tremendous bulk played only as far as leveling and maybe lfr. You didn't specify what...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Buying that xbox model for it seems like a bad plan. Haven't kept track of the Pro vs std graphics options, but if yer ok with 30fps i'd assume it'll be fine. If yer a 60fps or bust guy probably better to go pc, and turn shit down. If you wanna game on TV with controller, ps oughtta be good.

    Yeah, they certainly have a full plate of things they announced that are still to come on the 6.x series. Didn't quite expect the challenge dungeons- whatever they turn out to be, by 6.2. Also, didn't really expect another deep dungeon. Wonder if it means dropping the bozja style grind for...
