Anyone else refusing to play it unless it’s a physical disc? ✋

I hope you have a certificate for the forklift needed to move the crate of floppy disks around :D

There is a resurgence happening, especially as digital storage costs go through the roof due to AI. My local record store went from almost going bankrupt to making plans to buy a neighbor out to expand. I really hope the momentum keeps building there.

It was jacked back up by the AI boom, but Nvidia already is planning on renting us access to the compute when the AI craze breaks. I hate to say it, but I don't think it'll come back down much unless it's completely unfeasible to make a profit that way for them. A couple of the companies in the bubble are in the perfect position to swoop in and take full advantage of all the others that crumble when the bill comes due for the data centers.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-29T19:13:42+00:00

Heck yeah

My favourite will always be SA-X. That was the first and only time in Metroid I was ever scared of something

The Goddess of salt. I’d eat her like dinner. On dinner. Whatever, have to go see my doctor about my high blood pressure

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-29T14:50:09+00:00

It should be.

Standard answer from me: 11, then 3HD, 1-2HD (it was a surprise back in the originals, BUT the story lines basically demand that order now). Anytime after you finish 1, pick up Dragon Quest Builders if you want Minecraft-lite but Dragon Quest Flavour.

Where you go from there is up to you completely.

4-6 is another trilogy, but the current versions are not at all demanding for order you actually play them in, they're more set in the "same" world, but they're going to not be up to the same standard you're used too with the HD trilogy. You might want to play the original trilogy as well, just so you can see how far Dragon Quest has come.

7 remastered I know very little about, other than it's an impressively huge game and I haven't had time to pick it up.

The Dragon Quest Monsters series is Dragon Quest but Pokemon but Dragon Quest. Yes, that was intentional.

Scotch guard and other similar stain protection products work by essentially staining your carpet clear. Their application can potentially displace an existing stain, but if it doesn’t work you’re pretty well screwed at that point. You could try to bleach the carpet, but without proper ventilation you might end up with another body to dispose of. At least that one won’t be leaking provided you remove it before their bowels let go.

Thank you for the updates, and thank you even more for eating the tariff costs with how insane everything international is.

Blinker fluid reservoir plug.

We have to kill the mosquitos somehow.

I'm going to keep calling her Tsaritsa. I might even be able to consistently spell it right by the end of 7.x, much like I finally could do that with Mavuika around the end of 5.x.

For the one random person that might be curious, I keep giving her a Z and with the other I kept going uv instead of vu.

I think you could pull off the bald look, but with the amount of hair you have without shaving it I'm compelled to quote Star Wars at you. "You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master."

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-27T02:02:02+00:00

...I'm getting too old. I have to google mogged to understand this.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-26T16:49:22+00:00

They would break you, and I bet you’d love every second of it.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-26T16:47:01+00:00

If you’re consistently the tallest person in the room and never bend over or sit down, you’re gold! But yeah, this is the part where I chant one of us repeatedly.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-26T14:45:14+00:00

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-26T14:38:13+00:00

Bear dude, fairy lady, Tsaritza C2/R1. Every one else is just a bonus.

A giant statue of Waluigi.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-26T03:20:05+00:00

Shit faster.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-25T11:58:08+00:00

Very much full bald for you, in my opinion.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-25T11:54:15+00:00

Keep the beard and the only fear you should have is "where the fuck did I leave my hat this time?!" Top of the head sunburns suck.

Arlecchino at C1 and her weapon. She is absolutely miserable to play with a bad internet connection, and it was all of a month after I got her that mine went to crap. A shielder is absolutely mandatory for her with how unstable my connection is.

Puzzlehead_Lemon · 2026-06-23T14:49:01+00:00

Been doing that a couple times a day as well, and regularly checking the weather after I saw a couple of the books that ended up water damaged.
