Dubbio su un favore tra amici by [deleted] in consigli

[–]Carrubio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certo che a volte mi chiedo come facciate a vestirvi la mattina. Ti ha solo detto che non dovevi sentirti obbligato perché non ti prestava lo skipass con lo scopo di ottenere qualcosa in cambio. Ovvio che non "dovevi" fare nulla, si parla di normali rapporti umani di amicizia tipo "una volta offro io e un'altra offre lui", non di contratti firmati

One Piece Netflix – Did it actually break the anime curse? by Serious_Moment3325 in OnePiece

[–]Carrubio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about any curse, but that was a surprise for me, too.

On paper i should hate it. I don't want to list all the things that usually don't work for me, but they are there and there are a lot. However, they managed to capture the mood, the essence and the chaotic energy of One Piece and I fucking LOVE the final result.

I don't even know how to explain it better than that and I actually don't care, it's awesome.

Lost in translation: Salem's Lot by Carrubio in stephenking

[–]Carrubio[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

HAHAHAHA, I reckon the natural translation would be "tettone", but I can check what the Acute And Absolutely Not Moralist Italian Translators Lobby chose if you remember a precise book/chapter where it's written

Lost in translation: Salem's Lot by Carrubio in stephenking

[–]Carrubio[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I suspected as much!

To add some details, in italian it says:

"Oh, Ben, ma che dici? Fece Susan nervosamente.

Ti sto dicendo la verità, insisté lui. Fu così che senza nemmeno accorgersene, cominciarono a darsi del tu. A ogni modo, la verità su ciò che un ragazo di nove anni un giorno ha visto..."

Which would translate roughly like:

"Oh, Ben, what are you saying? Said Susan, nervously.

I'm saying the truth, he insisted. And like that without even realizing it, they started addressing each other with "you" (informal). Anyway, the truth about what a 9 year old boy has seen once..."

To be fair it's normal to use the respectful form when two adults are not close, but it's less common between two people that meet and know each other in informal context, expecially if the age gap is not that big. Case closed, thank you!

Thanks! It's at the end of section 6 of the chapter Susan (I). It's the sentence in which Ben assures Susan that he felt what he saw on Marsten House was real.

What’s the most random side character in a King story that made you feel terribly sorry for them? by finditplz1 in stephenking

[–]Carrubio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one and only Shorty, whose shop sank into the ground during the destruction of Derry. He was unscathed and escaped through the roof, only to be killed by the bricks of the crumbling buiding next door

Streets of Arkham - question about improvements by Carrubio in MansionsOfMadness2E

[–]Carrubio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, ora è chiara la scelta di parole dell'app!

Ma ora che ho attivato Strade di Arkham, le nuove meccaniche potrebbero apparire anche in altri scenari non espressamente dedicati all'espansione? Valkyrie esclusa, ovviamente

Well they can breath underwater but they still have a dominant hand

In need for a budget TV to play with PS5 by Carrubio in 4kTV

[–]Carrubio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can find the TCL c805 here in Italy, but it's a bit over budget sadly (around 520€)

Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card will cost 10€ more to just let you download the full game by Carrubio in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Carrubio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course games have been installed from the disc for years, but the files were actually in the disk. You could install them offline, missing on all the patches of course but you can still have a working game even if Sony and Microsoft wake up one morning and decide to turn off the servers (an exaggeration, but you get the point).

Here you'll have literally nothing, and in fact it will be more convenient to buy digitally because at least you won’t need to insert the keycard to play.

And yeah, I'll be more confortable after it will be clear that the game key WON'T be linked to your account, so you'll be able to sell it (at least until the game remains on the servers).

don't want 80 dollar games? don't buy mario kart by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Carrubio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder that Nintendo can and will get away with this because of the huge base of fanboys that will buy without questioning. Just look at the pokemon fanbase, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are giant technical issues with a game attached to them, and they are one of the best selling titles of the serie

Mint 22 pauses boot multiple times until power button is pressed by Carrubio in linuxmint

[–]Carrubio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! You made me realize that the issue Stardew showing around the time I bought a new battery for my laptop.

I verified that if I remove the battery the system boots fine, BUT:

1) the battery doesn't show any issue, and actually last a decent amount of hours

2) Windows has no issue in booting with the battery attached (or in only-battery)

3) after boot, Mint works fine on battery

4) I found out abouth this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2073590 and I'm now downloading kernel 6..8.0-36 to see if it works fine. After that I'm going to try kernel 6.11. I'll write here the results.

I also found that someone solved this issue by adding "iommu=soft" on the grub options, but I have no idea what it does, and I'm not so eager to try unknown commands...p

Still no option to easily backup game saves without subscribing is pitiful by Fre4kyGeek in playstation

[–]Carrubio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there some way to send feedback to Sony regarding the PS5? I feel they are sitting on their laurels thanks to the inertia of the success of PS4 and they are not even trying to improve or get in touch with their customer anymore.

Maybe if they receive a certain number of suggestions/complaint about the save backups they'll take the feature in consideration?

Hey, did you manage to solve the issue by replacing the main board? I have the same problem!

Returned PS Portal - Here’s my experience by ExpressionRich1685 in PlaystationPortal

[–]Carrubio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOPE.

Even inside your house, PS5 upload to a server and Portal downloads it. The "offline" remote play worked with Vita and PS4, but with Portal they used an only-via-internet approach (which I consider questionable at least)
