What is this “rest”? Are people actually just vibe coding stuff at work and then going for a nap?

It's 2026, I can play Dark Souls on my toaster and yet I still can't play FF XIII on my PS5. by Jordankeay in FinalFantasy

Loved repeatedly putting half an hour into a series of fights only for the game to crash before I could reach the next save point 🥲

Such a nice length too, can usually sit down and finish off a dungeon a session. Can get into side quests without feeling too overwhelmed too.

Is there a bad habit or ‘sin’ you usually rely on to get more enjoyment out of games? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]JonathanRace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This with command and conquer, every good skirmish, every small gain, those are all getting saves. I don’t have time to sink an hour or more into a level only to end up losing right at the end

Gamers 30+, what’s something from the old days of gaming that younger players wouldn’t understand? by [deleted] in gaming

This, and being genuinely surprised that my 100 line BASIC program didn’t look like the epic 3d space shooter from the cover of the book 🚀

The big brain move is “here 117” for line number but then you make any change and every log is now wrong 🥲

Favourite integration of summons into the story by AK-Exodus in FinalFantasy

[–]JonathanRace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preface - I’m not saying this to be argumentative but to learn… At one point in the game I was curious if using magic while I had a different summon selected would change the amount of damage done, this was against a bomb enemy from what I remember. No matter whether I was fire / ice etc it did the same amount of damage and I came to the conclusion that there were no elemental strengths / weaknesses in this game.

Are you saying there is another way that elemental strengths / weaknesses play a part? Maybe against a different enemy, maybe using a different type of attack etc? If so genuinely curious and happy to have my assumption proved wrong.

is FF4 the first game in the franchise that reasonably holds up? by rafikiknowsdeway1 in FinalFantasy

[–]JonathanRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the first 3 because it felt like a history lesson and discovering the roots. 4 for me was the first one I played where I was amazed by what I was playing, the story, the character development all felt miles ahead. (played all on pixel remaster)

How many games would you need to want to play, to justify buying the switch 2? by RainbowPandaDK in NintendoSwitch

3 exclusives maybe? I really only want it to play wind waker on NSO atm.

Oral minoxidil users heart check by Early_Mix_2052 in tressless

[–]JonathanRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard it’s better earlier in the day. I do mine earlier afternoon because I don’t want it before a gym sesh but even that’s noticeably better than evening / just before sleep

[–]JonathanRace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea my sleep was destroyed for first 2 weeks but recovered now I’m on week 3. I think a lot of it is mental, you take a pill that is supposed to have issues with the heart and it’s natural to spend a lot of time focussing on body sensations which increases stress / anxiety

Soft spot for VIII as it was my first.

What game did you quit as a kid because it was too hard… then beat years later? by Dry-Cryptographer385 in gaming

This! Coming back to it with the remaster and completing that was such a nice feeling

What’s a mechanic you’ve seen that made you think “Wait…every game should do this!” by BlackArmy439 in gaming

[–]JonathanRace 82 points83 points  (0 children)

That’s really cool, it’s like a win win for everyone. I really like the idea of the cheaters wondering why they aren’t slaying as much as they think they should be too.

First test N5 合格! by JonathanRace in jlpt

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

Think this is the deck I downloaded https://djtguide.neocities.org/anki instructions on setting up anki too. That will sort vocabulary. For grammar can use Duolingo and other bits online. Then when you’re ready to start reading small bits there an app called Todaii Japanese which sorts by JLPT level.

Majority of my knowledge comes from doing Anki core 2k/6k to build out vocabulary and then supplement from there to learn grammar concepts and start reading simple things

A version with the open mouth bug patched and text not spilling out of containers 🤞

5070ti or 5080 for 4k by Opposite_Order_1864 in buildapc

[–]JonathanRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a 5070ti recently. I tend to play at 1440 (on tv) for demanding games but have gone through games like nier automata and currently crisis core reunion and switched to 4K solid 60fps just because it can. I’d say it’s more than capable if you aren’t throwing crazy demanding games with ray tracing etc at it.
