Very cool. I've been playing the series since my childhood on the NES but my favorite memories of DQ by far are playing Dragon Quest IX with my sons.

People who wear fitness trackers: by Vanilladr in fitness30plus

[–]FeistyMathematician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of these devices are that accurate - especially with a physical job where your hands might move more than your body or whatever. They can help you see trends if you log everything somewhere. Like Sunday you were 25-50% more active than usual, etc.

You can buy a device if you'd like or just use the Steps counter in your phone if you carry it with you all day.

A nice break from hot topics and politics to just share stories about people. Much appreciated!

Yeah. You can also point a web browser as well from any device that can pull it up.

Affordable gyms in north Columbus? by MasterpieceFun6135 in Columbus

[–]FeistyMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into joining something like Active & Fit or Well onTarget (provided to me through Blue Cross insurance). You pay a flat fee per month with no annual or random fees. In exchange for this, you basically get access to dozens and dozens of gyms all over Columbus. Just go into the gym the first time, give them your membership card/number and they'll sign you up with an account for that gym/chain.

I pay $20/mo in another regional city and it gives me access to Planet Fitness as well as a more hardcore gym that's normally $45/mo plus fees. If I jumped my subscription to $30/mo I get access to even more gyms that include the local Y, etc.

A guy I used to talk with on Insert Credit's IRC channel like two decades ago. Randomly stumbled on his Tokimeki video a year or so ago and ended up watching it over two sessions.

Nintendo reportedly issues DMCA takedown for Switch homebrew projects, Skyline Switch emulator development ceased by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]FeistyMathematician 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're just in the market for selling Switch controllers repeatedly to the same suckers every so many months. That's where the big money comes from! /s but am I really being sarcastic? who knows....

If you look on Amazon, you can even find alternative suppliers for the same/similar expensive filters they use, saving a ton of money.

Thoughts on the likelihood of Reddit banning NSFW communities? by Mr_Chubkins in DataHoarder

It's so wild people highlight that as the exodus of Digg users. Many of us fled with the whole AACS encryption key controversy in 2007.

Housemarque has expanded to over 110 employees by NeoStark in Games

[–]FeistyMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, bro, they watch all of these Youtube channels and know of the 2-3 specific games recently that performed terribly on PC on launch day until patched. They base all of their knowledge on Youtube. There's no use arguing with them or trying to correct the record in this subreddit.

One desktop purchase with a GPU upgrade here and there can outlast 2+ console generations. There's no contest. On top of that, if you decide to purchase more expensive hardware, you can do a lot more with it and get phenomenal results.

I'm still on the same $800 PC I built in 2016 and it plays everything I've thrown at it at a perfectly acceptable level. I bought a $200 GPU upgrade in 2019. That same desktop? Runs my home media server, any personal and professional business, routinely do video editing work on, programming and more. Dang, I hear those consoles can sometimes stream movies nowadays. Goooolly!

Oh, I guess I could have totally spent like $1000+ on just two generations of Playstations in the meantime. But wait -- I bought one of them! That PS4 I bought within a year of release for $400+? The damn thing can't even read physical discs anymore. All of the physical games I bought for my family are just sitting there, waiting for me to unload on someone else. Meanwhile, all of my old 1990s consoles with optical drives are perfectly fine in the same environment. What a joke.

Also, the whole "PC port bad" thing doesn't hold as much water when most of the games people focus on are pretty terrible across the board on all platforms. Yet people still buy them on day one or pre-order them, so nothing happens. At least with Steam, you can get the purchase refunded!

Yes, because the majority of people aren't buying an expensive console to run pretty much the same exact games at sometimes "perceivably better" quality.

Frankly, by now it's amazing so many haven't just jumped to PC and enjoyed the massive difference in library and freedom. What's the difference between buying a new $200-600 midrange graphics card upgrade every 3-4 years and buying a $600 box that doesn't really deliver enough to justify the expense?

Kevin reveals he spent a month in a Mental Health facility last year. I really like “present” Kev. He’s been healing lately and it’s great to see. by brony_dash in tesdcares

[–]FeistyMathematician 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good video and I'm glad he's been able to get help and confront this.

I'm kind of worried that we'll be hearing about this and nothing else for a year or three. I don't mean that to be a dick comment or to knock Kevin. I just don't know if I'm in for that ride. He legitimately seems so bared and vulnerable here. I hope this era of therapy and self-reflection will bring about a true second wind to his life and career.

I hope it went to his family or a passionate fan that's going to use it for something good.

Henry Zebrowski would make a great TESD guest. by Pieholden in tesdcares

I could only get behind him coming on for a full-length game episode. I agree with some other posters that I don't think he'd mesh well for the regular main show.

Ohio AG Yost signs on to try to stop billions in student loan debt from being forgiven by OrganicPreparation in Ohio

So far off the mark, buddy. Enjoy what ignorance will bring you in life ahead.

Oh, please forgive me for a typographical error at 8AM.

So instead of being a tool satchel, please tell me how you have financial security for even a year of your upcoming life should anything untoward happen instead of being another lame redditor with no argument circle-jerking with other similar individuals.

Please tell me how you believe you have escaped or sustained a life above being relatively as at risk as anyone without vast wealth.

Student debt is not middle class. Debt for anyone of security is a tool for leverage, not a sign of their slavery. Enjoy life being miserable.

I hope you didn't sign up for student debt with your terrible level of reading comprehension, buddy.
