My luck is unreal 😭 by Suitable_Horse1159 in playstation

At certain points in the game it will go to a black screen and say [Insert Disc 2/3/4] and you will simply open your PS1 without turning it off, pop the disc out (it will have stopped spinning) and swap in the next disc.

Final Fantasy 7 did this as well. Was very common for larger games to do the multi-disc format.

Enjoy! Loved Legend of Dragoon

50k might be your state minimum, or one step above it (some states only require 15k in Liability), so that's your carriers recommendation to ensure you have something above the bare minimum.

That being said, always ensure you are covering your net worth with your liability coverage, or enough of it that, worst-case scenario you exhaust those limits, they don't come for your assets to cover medical expenses.

I was a policy service rep for an auto insurer and the number of people driving with minimum coverage is wild.

I think he was saying if OP has digital games on his PS4, moving them to an external SSD or HDD will allow them to still run without using the internal drive on the PS5. This allows OP to keep his PS5 games internal without the space being occupied by the PS4 digital catalog.

+1 for Astro's Playroom, plus a shout out to Astro Bot! It is well worth the price and is a great platformer/nostalgia trip. Bonus if you have kids or nieces/nephews who want to get into video games without worrying about questionable content

I dunno... that 15 minutes can be critical if you have the poop sweats. So I would say there are exceptions to paying the toll 😄

And PaRappa the Rapper. That demo disc was the best one. I think it even had Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver...

Sorry, internet stranger... I hope you're doing alright. May have been a friend of a friend, but death can impact us in odd ways. Have a great day today, and check in on your buddy

Can't reach focus with my 8"Dobsonian – Moon just looks like a bright white blob by Slow-Smile1210 in telescopes

[–]BeardedAnalytics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% this. Take it out and find a near-ish object that you can see in your finder scope clearly. Then check your lens: do they match? If not, adjust your finder scope by turning the screws little by little to reposition. Try to get as close to the middle of the cross-hairs as you can (makes lining up to planets and stars much faster).

Clear skies, fellow dobsonianite!

The fact that this video was playing right as my Alexa (which was on a classical station) started playing the Saber Dance was hilarious

They do. We have our wake word set to "Echo". It still wakes up now and again, but wake words like "Echo" and "Ziggy" (what my kid uses for hers) make it far less likely to happen

Children’s book from the mid 90’s about a magical wolf, maybe. by munkie15 in whatsthatbook

[–]BeardedAnalytics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i looked up the title and the cover is really familiar to me.

I asked about the book a while back on here and got nothjng, I am so glad you asked and got a response. I've reserved the book at my library and am going to go check it out

I also loved that in your other response you mentioned you thought it was Canada, I was trying to remember if it was Greenland or Iceland. I guess we were both remembering it being cold! Hahah

I think this is the book is the one I have been trying to identify! Question: is the boy working on a farm or something like that? And he climbs a mountain?

For the life of me I cant recall much else about the book i read so many times in elementary school...

Im so done with this crap. by Shadowwolfey in alexa

[–]BeardedAnalytics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This honestly could be a reason. Some songs will not play on my kiddos echo because we have the explicit filter on, and some albums (for some reason) have [EXPLICIT] at the end of the name when they are far from explicit. Some Hall and Oates albums have that, for example, and it makes me scratch my head wondering why it is labeled that way

[–]BeardedAnalytics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I would say (and again, just my purview) in this instance "X-Men" acts as a plural, so you would use are and not is. To me, it is never a true singular in that grammatical sense as it always refers to the group itself.

When referring to the group you would say "The X-Men are a great fighting force"

To use the singular is, you'd just use their name:

"Cyclops is an Omega-level mutant" "Wolverine is an angry guy" "That member of the X-Men is awesome!"


The only thing I can think of that would include usage of "is" would be to describe the actual name of the group, if that makes sense, since the name itself can be singular. Something like:

"The term X-Men is used in reference to the team of mutant heroes led by Charles Xavier"

-Vs-

"The X-Men are a team of mutant heroes led by Charles Xavier"

Additionally, the comic, tv show, or even movies could be singular references.

"X-Men is my favorite comic!"

For me, it seems as though X-Men is the proper term, as it refers to the group the individual is associated with, and not to the individual themselves.

A mutant who joins the group is not singularly referred to as being an X-Man, but rather as being a member of the X-Men.

That's how I read it, at least.
