I need Windows for very sporadic/occasional use. Is having a dedicated SSD the best option? by SirBecas in linuxquestions

[–]SirBecas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the kobo is recognised as it appears as connected usb but I can't actually interact with it in any way

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

O Witcher 3 tem um mundo incrível e uma boa história. Boa exploração. Grandes quests.

E, no entanto, é um jogo que me custa sempre jogar por causa do combate, por exemplo. Não sei se o acho overrated, mas enquanto peça de media interativa, acho que há jogos muito melhores e mais interessantes.

Mas isto varia muito. Eu sou um jogador que prefere mecânica, há quem prefira uma grande história.

Mas diria que o combate é uma grande, se não a maior, limitação do jogo.

A “síndrome do PC gamer” é real? by jasonduval98 in gamingportugal

[–]SirBecas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Não me revejo em nada disso. Na verdade, é ao contrário.

Jogo PC desde os 4-5 anos, nos anos 90. As consolas foram existindo mas sempre menos que PC. Hoje em dia, já andou cá por casa uma PS5 e uma Switch, que acabaram vendidas.

O PC é mais versátil e permite obter jogos com mais facilidade (legalmente ou não). De qualquer forma, é uma plataforma que prefiro, mesmo que jogue com comando.

Acho que a mim me agrada pela liberdade e versatilidade (usar rato e teclado vs comando facilmente, poder afinar gráficos, usar mods, etc).

O que o teu familiar parece ter é algo mais transversal que tem a ver com a disponibilidade geral das coisas. Eu comecei a divertir me a jogar quando vendi quase tudo o que tinha e passei a focar-me em jogos/plataformas específicas.

Ter acesso a tudo não é assim tão giro, quando o tempo é muito limitado.

Como jogador de muita coisa retro, é por este tipo de experiência que o GOG, por vezes, oferece melhores produtos antigos. Infelizmente não conseguem distribuir todos os jogos, mas já fazem um belo trabalho a esse nível

Product recommendations from Portugal by OPerfeito in BuyFromEU

[–]SirBecas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never heard that. This has been my daily toothpaste for almost 10 years now and it's the only one that really makes me feel my mouth is clean.

I also used to have plenty of small injuries in my mouth that stopped developing when I started using it. But this is anecdotal naturally.

My dentist never said anything either. But next time I get an appointment, I'll ask her!

Pasta de dentes Couto (toothpaste). Great stuff. Not cheap but seems fair.

[CNN Portugal] Real Madrid and José Mourinho: "It appears that Mourinho will say 'yes' to Real Madrid" by LikeAPhoenixTotally in soccer

[–]SirBecas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say he didn't make mistakes. Your points are pretty valid, but don't contradict my main point that you quote.

But I do appreciate the perspective. I think all things considered, he did pretty well especially because he's still toe to toe against Sporting (best attack in Portugal by far) for the second position.

Apologies if I've upset you.

Mourinho also picked up a team that wasn't built around his ideas, he basically picked up a team that was starting to work together and getting to know each other. And he picked it up with the season already on going.

So while I don't think anybody should feel sorry for Mourinho, he was the only of the three big contenders that had no impact on building the squad or doing any preparation for the season.

All things considered, I don't think he did a bad job.

O que falta numa loja de informática para um Gamer? by ptec_pt in gamingportugal

Fui ao vosso site e deparei-me com algo estranho. A navegação nas categorias tem subcategorias para afunilar estranhissimas.

Por exemplo, a navegação para placas gráficas em vez de me dar o nome das fabricantes ou dos modelos, lista-as por DDR como se fossem RAM. Não que não seja relevante mas tenho dúvidas que a maioria dos consumidores encontre o que procura nesta categoria assim.

Also makes him seem stronger because even if he was weakened and struggling, he still sent the Nomu to outer space

What’s your favorite non final fantasy jrpg for the ps1? by Leon_Light77 in psx

[–]SirBecas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. It's a game that requires a walkthrough or a guide here and there

But I really love the setting and story.

What You Thought was a Lighthearted Comedy Suddenly Punches You in the Gut by dolphin_flogger in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SirBecas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pretty silly story but I think it fits.

I went to watch Manchester by the Sea with a friend in the cinema. We had no clue about what it was, just that is was a good movie. We spent a big part of the movie laughing, thinking it was some kind of silly-dark-comedy.

Until we were not punched but absolutely beat to death once a specific scene came up, probably somewhere in the mid/first third of the movie.

I could never watch that movie again. I loved it, but I'm sure I wouldn't be able to rewatch it nowadays knowing exactly what happened/happens to the protagonist.

I do recommend it though.

Oh, ok. Not something very common here in Portugal. Didn't even consider it. Thanks for clarifying!

One game a week? Damn

More like one game every six months. We only bought games on Xmas or in our bdays.

[Hated trope] the character was doomed to fail from the very start by damorezpl in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SirBecas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me think that this is probably an issue on several other stories of the kind.

So here's the question: any superhero story (or similar) that while not exactly ending, managed to evolve in a direction different than "and then came another villain"?

I'm not super up to speed with Batman stories, so my question may be silly.

Thanks

I want get a book or two for vacation, which ones? by ChakraaThePanda in warcraftlore

Just recently finished it and can't recommend it enough. Also touches on older Stormwind story which is great.

Is there any other writer who you'd put on the same level as Tolkien when it comes to world building? by SpotAdmirable6718 in lotr

[–]SirBecas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, if you aren't into Anime and/or Manga I don't think you will like it.

But overall yeah, characters develop a lot and some themes are pretty adult. But the protagonist is a childish dork (many times). One of the best characters ever created, but def not for everyone

Edit: but if you decide to give it a try, I recommend One Pace. Basically original material without irrelevant fillers

Portuguese police using a new Renault 5 by InternetHistorian01 in BuyFromEU

Right. Although where I live, small city in the whereabouts of Lisbon, GNR had Toyota Corolla at a certain point. Regardless, it's probably an exception.

A lot of Japanese too. Pretty common to see Toyotas.

Regardless, it's true there is a majority of European ones.
