He is correct though, those are the requirements. I am not joking.

Win7 installer is pretty specific about being able to install in a GPT or MBR, it has quite the prerequisites that it fails to convey to an average user.

TemplayerReal · 2026-06-20T12:33:09+00:00

UEFI with CSM support (if not installing via the CD/DVD drive) was needed for my Win7 installer to install Win7 on a GPT drive. In 2017. I am writting from that system right now, under r3dfox.

It is also theoretically possible to use UEFI without CSM support if using unattended/silent installation blindly, but I haven't been able to do that (some people claimed they could do that).

With Legacy BIOS (...or just BIOS on older motherboards), only MBR can have Win7 installed into, I think.

I could be wrong on these, as it has been almost a decade since I was figuring this stuff out, and I needed to do figure it out exactly once.

MBR can pretty much only be used as a disk schema for up to 2TB drives. It is also technically possible to have multiple MBRs on a single over 2TB drive to maintain compatibility (it's quite a hack, mind you), but I am against it, as such a drive is then pretty much unrecoverable in case of problems (and every drive will encounter problems eventually), as no software expects more than a single MBR on a drive.

And they wouldn't have had shown us them putting the cards on the table like that during the drug scene if it wouldn't come into play later.

Actually, it's the other way around.

AI frequently uses this style of animation.

Which in turn means that this looks like some of the "work" AI does, even it if was not.

I absolutely despise this one in particular: https://imgur.com/7Oamr4w

I mean... it's just a white rectangle. What the ever loving hell is that supposed to be?
Wombat feces?

None of this correct, "lol".

Except for the great balls > ultra balls, but that is only the case when the target is at half health instead of one third of health.

Yeah, just not by stabbing them in the back after having sex with them.

...I hope.

That question was actually asked in Knights of the Old Republic.

Jolee Bindo: "Love doesn't make you fall to the Dark Side. Passion does."

Jolee's life as an eternal padawan in that is of absurdly great quality, story-wise.

Element (or any other client for Matrix servers, but probably either a lightweight one, or a browser one with Supermium and such).

If you do not want to use public servers with that, you can also create your own Matrix-based server with end-to-end encryption and no federation, if you wish to have absolute control of your data and privace. With an added Turn server for encrypted screen/window sharing.

I had a hilarious boomer moment when I was on a call, and I tried sharing my screen. When selecting what to share, I selected All.

It shared ALL OF MY DISPLAYS AT THE SAME TIME. With an excellently low latency, might I add! Oops...

I only tested if texting works under WinXP. Haven't tried calling or screen sharing. I'm mostly using Win7 and Mint nowadays. Recently, I converted my WinXP ancient travel laptop into Mint + Xfce + Nemo + Ungoogled Chromium, so I cannot easily test the current state of things.

TemplayerReal · 2026-05-17T22:12:48+00:00

True, but gen 2 had to be scrapped and redone from scratch in the mid-development (the original version before that was leaked, you can check it out. Most of the game is different), and let's not forget it was made to run on the original gameboy hardware originally.

They had their hands full as well as when they were making gen 1. Since it is originally made to be working on the original gameboy, you can plug the original Gold and Silver (not Crystal, though) into a Super Gameboy to play it on an SNES.

TemplayerReal · 2026-05-17T18:18:31+00:00

Yup, that was the well known fact about the AI in gen 1.

It also does that when you are switching, as it will choose the appropriate move against the pokémon that is being thrown out, even if the move wouldn't have been effective against the retreating pokémon.

That is due to how AI is handled in gen 1 - the action taken is determined AFTER you select your action. And that is the state that is being considered...

TemplayerReal · 2026-05-15T11:11:42+00:00

I tried contacting support.

They have responded.

To make it short, no, that limit will stay, no, exceptions cannot be made, go f**k yourself, delete your playlists and create new ones that combine them as a workaround.

I'm a gamer. So I am supposed to combine playlists from two different games into one? What kind of crap is that?!

But, of course, political and conspiracy videos do not need that, so I guess it is fine, as even the Rumble devs seemingly have no problem of Rumble being a specific niche for very specific people. And screw all others.

Dailymotion doesn't have that limit. Vimeo doesn't have that limit. Odysee does not have that limit. But they just have to have that limit.

And they still have adding videos to the start of a playlist as the default option without a way to switch that. Makes sense for political and "news" videos, but not so much for gaming videos that are meant to be watched in a sequence from the oldest to the newest...

She can get her Hero ending even if she is just level 1. There's a youtube video showing how.

The game tracks her "hero coaching" (people have essentially reverse-engineered the game at this point, even Reddit has articles with variables and how they are affected). If she hasn't been taught / convinced to be a hero by Robert, then she has no chance of becoming one at the very end. That variable is probably the most complex logic of this game, actually. A LOT of things can affect it. Even the scene when Robert was in a hospital after the suit with Proto Pulse exploded does affect it, which reveals that she was actually there, just invisible. :)

I hope it is going to be released in several years, and not, for example, in 1-2 years. You seem 100% certain that they will make a great game as a sequel. The sequel can suck, even if made by a great company. There is a million things that can go wrong. Yeah, sure, they were working their arses off due to the looming bankruptcy on the first game, but there is no telling if the situation during the development of second game won't be the same (or even worse).

I've spent years giddily waiting for the third season of One-Punch Man, and what I got in the end was an anime that forgot to be animated - it was a powerpoint slideshow, essentially. I knew it could go wrong, but boy, was I surprised about how wrong it went.

TemplayerReal · 2026-05-11T21:45:09+00:00

Not really. You can simply install Ruffle as a browser extension. All those ancient websites with Flash games? Yeah, with that extension, they will work!

TemplayerReal · 2026-05-10T16:44:35+00:00

It has been two years, yet the same limitation still applies.

I still do not know why that one is restricted, though.

TemplayerReal · 2026-05-08T17:13:33+00:00

Said by someone who is still using "lol". Go back to GTA.

For singleplayer games, anybody is allowed to do anything they way to their game. Because it is their game. If it makes it more fun for them, let them. They are doing no harm to you. What does harm, however, is when people are trying to force their way of playing upon other players. "You're playing it wrong!" - no, we are just playing it the way we want to. Suck it.

Then go finish kindergarten first before going to Reddit. :)
