    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...

    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...

    Gods work on the screenshots. The textures are nice and all but the lighting upgrades are probably the most overdue. 7.0 may end up looking significantly better.

    I've got a zillion years of muscle memory from wow, so i do that in std mode like a hunter disengaging forward. Doing the same in legacy hurts my brain. That said pretty much the only reason i don't use legacy. Def switch to legacy when playing ranged classes when i remember to.

    MMm no. Most (j)rpgs are ultimately about avoiding to have to spend resources as much as possible. Whethter mana, or other resources. So if you can smash shit with all auto attacks with your party thats all the better. Which weirdly translates pretty well for healers in ff14. That said...

    It works fine with a controller. Takes awhile to get used to targetting quickly and you'll want a kb for chatting anyway. There's some decent youtube vids with suggestions on how to map/config things.
