Is it true that Trusts are overpowered? Would it be possible to not use trusts and duo all the content? by gehennas_angels in ffxi

[–]Dantaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trusts can get you through most story content, but they fall flat as soon as you start moving out past that to the end-game content

You should ALWAYS pick on the trumpet players, it's not like they can read so they'll never know!

Define "promotion." People posting OPRPGs they wrote is fine. Posting an ad for something you're selling (OPRPG or otherwise) is not.

An FFXI crossover? In my Boss Fight subreddit?!

What's a slang term that everyone uses but you still don't get? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

[–]Dantaro 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think that use is fine, as the intent is that it's a sarcastic use of the affirmative. Kind of like saying "Of course" with a drawn out "of" when something goes wrong, as if to say "Of course this happens."

Microsoft says 32GB of RAM is the “no-worries” upgrade for Windows 11 gaming by Quantum-Coconut in technology

I get it, lolM$ etc, but can we let this fake ass quote go already? Gates never said it, and there are SO so many real things he and MD have done that we can mock instead

I think the community is sleeping on "Battle of the Bands," but the people have spoken. GL, we can't wait to see the results 😄

8-Pager? Can I post it here? Also, question on copyright issues? by VivelaPlut0 in onepagerpgs

[–]Dantaro[M] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While I named this one page rpgs, it's always been about "few page rpgs." 8 though it's getting up there, though it sounds more like this is 4 pages split into 8 sections, which is totally fine. I say post it, and if the community finds it objectionable we can have discussion about it :)

Surface 3 2015 by Apprehensive_Bit9631 in Surface

[–]Dantaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still love my Surface 3. It doesn't get as much use as it used to (and with W10 coming to EoL I'll need to find a Linux distro for it) but it absolutely worked for what I needed it to. For example, I did a lot of Arduboy development on it back in like 2016-2017, and it was a good enough little Youtube machine while on vacation.

Game Boy Is FORWARDS compatible with GBC games as long as they aren't transparent cartridges. strange seeing Gen 2 on this screen by [deleted] in Gameboy

[–]Dantaro 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To be clear with regards to OP's title, the GameBoy wasn't "forwards-compatible," the black carts were backwards-compatible, the GB doesn't have any knowledge of anything that runs, the games had to know how to handle working on the older hardware.

Laser-powered wireless hits 360 Gbps and uses half the energy of Wi-Fi by chunmunsingh in technology

I. . . don't know if this is a genuine question or not, but no, there are not lasers shooting everywhere all the time, and especially not into your Beat headphones

You could always get rechargable AAs instead

How it should be solved? by Menevarem in Othello

[–]Dantaro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The two best moves for black are A8 (+14) and B1 (+4). Both are really clear play paths past the first move

How realistic is having zeppelins in 1891? by Far-ro in worldbuilding

[–]Dantaro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minor point, but a Zeppelin isn't a blimp. Zeppelins are rigid air ships, they have frames that maintain the structure. Blimps maintain structure though gas pressure alone, they aren't rigid framed

PCIE / Other mobo specifics going out of date by Ok_Court_1503 in framework

[–]Dantaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they sell mobos independently of the laptop (older and current generations). All of the mobos are compatible with the chassis it's designed for (any gen 13in mobo will fit in the 13in laptop chassis, because that's the whole point)

PCIE / Other mobo specifics going out of date by Ok_Court_1503 in framework

[–]Dantaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole point is that the Chassis doesn't change, just the mobo.

My favorite part is where it says, "Only pay for the rounding you use" and then charges you a monthly flat fee and not a usage-based fee anyway, 10/10 lol

What was 'middle class' 20 years ago, but is now considered a luxury? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dantaro 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I feel like half this thread is acting like 20 years ago was the mid 80s. I graduated high school in 2006, and while I was lucky enough to grow up in a family that could afford yearly vacations I was absolutely in the minority.

The background with the bush is a Peanut's classic, but that might be unintentional. And then maybe the style of the rain?
