The Nocturne did me well, recently got the boxier one though since video cards are getting out of hand. Love NZXT though!

Is that an NZXT? It looks almost exactly like my old case I just repurposed. (And yes, it’s for water cooling but those cases have exceptional air cooling so it was never that important.)

RDP is for pro version only, and plenty of people get home version by default. There are better options, but I want to clarify that.

Thanks, I’ll look into it also. I needed this a couple weeks ago but better late than never!

Also quite different. I think Terraria is objectively better than base game Minecraft, though, after their respective updates (which I blame Microsoft monetization). When modded, they’re both great games.

I still love working against the clock to stop corruption from taking over my Terraria planet, though. Reclaiming land is a thing I like, but there are mods like that in Minecraft too that are really fun of you’re into it.

It certainly wasn’t a thriving business, but I don’t think it’s purely a correlation isn’t causation situation. The points about clientele not adapting are probably valid, given the evidence suggests that they lost those loyalists on top of their nose dive.

And yes, it can work if you are consistent. Trader Joes is a good example, they are thriving and haven’t once did sales while virtually every other grocer does. Domino’s is set in their ways, though, although they’d probably survive if they blundered.

Reading the comments about Domino’s coupon obsession, I feel like giving an economics story about when JC Penney said nuts to sales and coupons and nearly went bankrupt.

Corpos in food and retail found that overpricing things then hitting you with deals and coupons caused American audiences to feel like they were getting a good deal. 15 buck pizza for only 6 dollars? Sounds like a deal until you realize that it’s really cheap to make thanks to suppliers and premade frozen pizzas. But if they always price it at 6 bucks, you’re gonna raise an eyebrow.

What if you don’t do that? JC Penney had that idea a few years ago, since their industry basically priced jeans for 100 bucks and then said they were 70% off almost every day. So they tried everyday low prices and… they nearly bankrupted themselves. Lots of factors, but their main factor was their usual clientele thought they weren’t getting a deal even though the prices were cheaper than competitors (while not really attracting a new audience savvy enough to know sales are a scam).

Point is, Domino’s is in a cycle of coupons or bust. It’s a shame you don’t have good pizza options at reasonable prices nearby, though, and a shame the good old days of free delivery seem behind us.

I can’t wrap my mind over that price, our most overpriced place are $30 a pizza and those are humongous. Did you include overpriced sides? I find $15 for 6 wings a bit much and that’d usually do it.

I like “or else” meant no promotions, as if that ever meant anything in tech. If you want more money you jump to another company. This just gives them even more incentive to do that.

Fun fact, a big reason why innovation happened a lot in tech is because of this-- when a company fails to retain someone, they take their wealth of knowledge and trade secrets with them. It actually hurts companies more than just losing a person since it also gives the competition a leg up!

Funny, cause my wife found that kind of annoying for some reason. Iirc, it was optional though. (I ultimately had to solo most of the ones I had, but I’ll get back into it when my kids are older, haha)

Side by side, but let’s be honest, over/under gives a better field of vision. Depends on the game, I guess.

Woe to the people with more siblings and the four way split.

Funny how I’m an era with 70inch+ TVs, split screen feels like a relic. No, instead we had to do our split screen on 18inch CRTs. Tsk.

At least it exists still in the indie sphere (and I guess Lego games, when far apart!).

I don’t know about you but I’m going to have to keep my daughter away from social media! It’ll rot her brain and make her a tankie! (We are taking about Lemmy, right? /s)

Oh no, it’s much better than that.

Google suggests it’s 8g per 100g, which on paper doesn’t sound great but a package over here is around 2 bucks for 16oz, roughly 450g. Being conservative we could say 50 cents for 100g.

8, 16, 24, 32 puts us a little under 2 bucks.

That said, tofu is 5 servings of 70cal; the 100g isn’t all calories. I’m guessing water? In any case, that eats into your cost effectiveness, putting it closer to the center than near the legumes where it really should be.

Your mileage may vary though. Nuts are great, but peanuts only pull ahead because of how insanely cheap they can be. They’re much fattier. Tofus great, though, if you prepare it as intended and not as some meat substitute like many Americans tend to do.

True, if and when I ever get around to replaying things that could be a problem (although the industry has seen to remaking everything I cared about, sometimes poorly, but that’s another problem).

Another shout-out to the nerds running retroachevements though because they thought it that; they have an encore mode that let’s you redo achievements. Although honestly you could just make a second account, that stuff is for emulated content anyway and it’s not like it’s DRMed, haha.

Only silly people flaunt achievements. I use them as a meta-gaming guideline, which in a good game leads to interesting and fun challenges. In an RPG, it’s like a check box for getting every ultimate weapon, fighting every boss, etc.

Can also give me something to do in a game I’ve played but loved. Retroachevements for instance encouraged me replay SaGa (aka Final Fantasy Legend) with only one character in the team. Wasn’t too hard, but definitely a second playthrough thing.

Favorite point and click adventure: Sam and Max. They recently remastered the first season. Funny/silly game.

Hey that’s the same as my place; let me join you in saying fuck landlords!

To be fair, Sega was a US-oriented company long before it was cool, so I guess they may be the pioneers that confused the rest of us ages later.

After all, Sega does what Nintendon’t

I think the real answer was actually Japanese reading right to left, and applying that to alphabet buttons. What I find more interesting is the insistence that A must be the Accept button and B the back button; Nintendo games and OG Japanese games in general tend to use that layout, including PlayStation X and O (which to be fair makes even more sense for no/yes). US games afterwards flipped out, even for PlayStation games.

Really, Microsoft changing that up is genuinely evil to anyone already gaming, although I believe Sega also was left to right, but their three/six button layout doesn’t count. Not sure how they handled accept/back though.
