I've got it up and running in Yuzu with prod.keys 18.0. At least I watched the opening cinematic. Not that interested in playing. Just seeing if it was true.
Presumably until you get into a car accident or pulled over for any other reason. Then, it's probably off to jail with you. At least I hope.
Holy crap, I am a huge fan of both Star Trek and synthesizers and I never made this connection...
I always thought the Ysalamir that Zahn introduced in his trilogy were a really cool idea. Non-sentient arboreal creatures that had evolved to repel the force because of a species of predators that used the force to hunt. Thrawn weaponized them to control a psychotic Jedi master clone he used to control his army and to fight Luke and Mara. There's a lot of potential there for interesting force stuff to be explored.
Then, they erased all that and we got midi-chlorian counts and somehow Palpatine survived instead.
I hear you. A buddy gave me a $1000 headphone amp he'd replaced with a newer version. It's the most expensive piece of gear I own and hilariously out of place in my set up. I still use it, though.
I bounced off Crosscode hard. Which sucks because I wanted to love it. The pacing and difficulty were all over the place. And making the puzzle dungeons a race between you and other characters just made me hate them. I want to stop and think! After dying to a particularly nasty boss I was trying to beat as fast as possible so I could maybe eke out a win in the dungeon, I ended up cranking the difficulty all the way down, and was the last out of the dungeon anyway. I put the game down and haven't looked back. That was about 25 hours in, and nothing of consequence had occurred with the plot by then, anyway. I might go back sometime and see if it gets better, but it left me pretty sour.
I love the entire 16 bit era, and JRPGs, and action RPGs, and Crono Trigger, and difficult games, but Crosscode just took all those elements and somehow made them unpalatable to me.
I was searching how to cast the screen on an Android phone through USB yesterday, and I had to go through pages of "free" Play Store apps and their shitty tutorials, some of which I downloaded, (one had 50 million downloads) two of which were identical skins of each other that wanted payment information and charged $20 a month after a week long trial, to eventually find out it's a default included option on any Samsung phone and can be found in some settings. Google search has completely gone to shit.
We adopted a crazy guy who lived in the sewers. We'd check up on him whenever we were back in town. Ended up giving him a neat magical item that let him cast prestidigitation a few times a day or something, and some other amenities hoping he'd clean up his act. We never finished the campaign, but I like to think he got it together.
I feel like they used to do this, now it's a crapshoot. My Steam wishlist has become rife with games I'm kind of interested in, but never go on enough of a sale for me to seriously consider. Which is honestly probably not a problem given I already have more games than I'm likely to finish in my lifetime at the rate I play them now.
I'll say! I finally got around to Elden Ring, and it's everything I could have hoped for in an open-world Souls game. It lives up to the hype for sure.
I succumbed to the single-space-after-periods madness a few years ago. I'm used to it now, but the transition was hard.
Hardly. They're paid. There are exemptions for medical conditions and other things (I think medical students get exempted, and some choose to serve with the police, instead.) It's not a perfect system by any stretch, but it's not slavery.
That said, I'm against it overall. There are more and more rich kids "mysteriously" getting exempted. You're expected to join by the age of 22, which interrupts university for many. And, it promotes a huge boy's club where they learn to smoke and drink and preserve the patriarchy. It's created a large gender divide where many young men are upset women are finally starting to get something closer to equal treatment (still not equal by any means) in the workplace here, but men are still expected to serve their time while women finish their higher educations and get a head start in the workplace. Honestly, if they're going to have mandatory military service, they should just make it mandatory for women, too.
