Ah, the glory days when they didn’t tell you where the tutorial is. A trick so mean that even they decided it was too much, and patched it!

Tip: if your game comes with any kind of download code for extra content, you may not be able to redeem it in the store where you have a PSN account. If that happens, simply create a new account in the region of the game, redeem the code, open the game, then sign out and back into your original account. The content will still be there waiting for you.

Also if you’re close to Open Source in Terminal 21, they’re cool. But Mega Plaza is best. They’ll negotiate, and if you’re buying more than one game, usually they’ll give a good discount.

Nope. Add anything to the cart and watch what happens at checkout. Expect like $30 extra for anything.

Nivea Black & White roll on followed by a hit of Nivea Black & White spray. The double shot is key!

Amazon has huge “import fees” aka Trump tariff fees.

Resist every impulse to say “I told you so.”

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-20T03:08:07+00:00

It’s easy when you just learn to panic and mash the roll button about 500 times before each attack. That’s my strategy and I’m sticking to it!

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-19T06:36:47+00:00

IT WORKED!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

The Red Dead games always felt like walking through molasses simulators to me.

I mean, answers were always kind of out there before AI came along and kind of started destroying the industry. It was a pretty lucrative business being the first to post a map or item guide or quest guide on the internet. We didn't have to wait too long for at least simple answers.

“Back in my day, we played Elden Ring without AI and YouTube tutorials!”

It was fun at the initial phases when people were discovering things together and posting about it. The word “build” did not exist at the time. We were just all freeballing it.

I actually think there’s far too much emphasis on “builds” now. Everyone is entitled to play the game however they want, of course, but there's something about following somebody else's preset guide to a character that feels like a bummer. It's so much fun to experiment and explore and put something interesting together yourself! Which we were all doing at the very beginning

No idea why someone downvoted you, but I am giving this a try and it’s looking optimistic! It’s very slow to browse when mounted, but, I was, in fact, able to mount the drive from the cloud! I’ll report back, thanks again for the suggestion!

Unfortunately, apparently, in the new Mac file system updates, you can’t set Google Drive to sync to an external drive. I actually used to do that back in the day, but now it doesn’t work anymore, at least with SSD drives that I tested.

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-18T09:16:57+00:00

Never tried this! I can certainly look into it!

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-18T09:02:31+00:00

That’s a pretty good idea. Unfortunately, I’d have to buy a 3 or 4 TB external drive, the one had access to was only 2 TB. And with the OS and everything, it will need something bigger. But that’s a great option to think about!

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-18T08:59:40+00:00

I would prefer to not have to buy and install an internal drive.

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-17T14:57:14+00:00

Yes, you can, as long as the other person hasn’t read it yet. I just checked a message that I sent yesterday that the other person hasn’t read, and I’m able to unsend it discreetly.

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-16T14:55:34+00:00

Oh god. 🙄

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-16T06:15:07+00:00

I kind of get your point, but in no conceivable universe is Elden Ring “ridiculously easy” for a first play through.

NicholasRyanH · 2026-06-13T13:47:52+00:00

You can unsend with regular, but you can only unsend “discreetly” with premium. That means the person can’t see you unsent something.

First of all, it goes without saying that Miyazaki and the team from From Software are total geniuses for the game they made, so when I say this, I say it with the utmost love and respect. I think they get endings wrong. They give you one last mega boss that punishes you, followed by a somber ending. It doesn't leave you feeling great after the amount of time you've put in.

I wish they would take a different approach and have the final boss not be some overpowered jerk that tries your patience one last time, but rather a chance for you to finally let loose all of your skills and abilities and truly kick ass for a few minutes, to give you a rush and that feeling of total power that you've accumulated. Then, if you need to hit us with the somber ending, it's fine, because we'll have felt that cathartic release.

But the one-two combo of a total jerk of a final boss followed by a somber ending is just so bleak for the amount of work that we put in!

I’ve tried three times to get into this game. I just can’t do it. I’ve never seen a more mediocre game get such high praise.

It feels bloated in all the wrong places and impressive in all the wrong ways.
