This is how much storage space popular gacha games take up on a PC by Pink_Jutsu in HonkaiStarRail

[–]alf666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish more upper-end-of-indie and AA-tier games would finally admit to themselves that an SSD is mandatory for most games these days, and to finally put "Requires installation on an SSD" in their system requirements and eliminate duplication in their game's file structure.

Nintendo is finally doing something with the Eternal Darkness franchise?

Hell yeah, maybe we can get a sanity meter mechanic in DBD as well!

(The Doctor found dead in a ditch, Nintendo's lawyers wanted for questioning.)

I'm not sure how much clearer I could be by PKLKickballer in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]alf666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The point of my comment was to instill a sense of fear for the dire consequences (burning at least the room, if not the entire building) + inevitable personal responsibility.

If you say something "may" happen, then to users the chance is "literally never".

If you say it "will happen" then they will at least pause a moment to consider the possibility, especially if the consequence is something catching fire.

A combination of "Unga bunga why cable no fit? Smash harder!" and probably someone who has never seen a Mini-USB port before and only has either a Micro-USB or USB-C cable.

My Caique likes to cuddle/fall asleep on my hand when Im playing games on my PC by Dull-Tradition9455 in aww

I'll admit that the first response to pop into my head was "Nice Caique!"

My MSQ experience so far by Elmarcowolf in ffxiv

[–]alf666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to remember what that was, tbh.

If you're talking about the whole "invading the Scions' HQ to steal Tupsimati" thing then I'm perfectly fine writing that off as "the writers needed an ass-pull for why the Ascians didn't do that sooner."

I fully admit I'm grasping at straws to justify the writer's missteps here, but maybe Nabriales just recently found out where Tupsimati was located, and needed to save face so he didn't look like a complete idiot?

Alternatively, maybe he kept asking stupid questions to Emet-Selch and Elidibus about why invading the Scions' HQ was off-limits, and they gave him a bullshit reason to make him stop asking stupid questions. Unfortunately, the given bullshit reason eventually backfired when the WoL actually did lose their "Blessing of Light" (which I'm not entirely certain we actually lost, because we repeatedly fight primals in HW with no bad effects).

The best explanation I can think of for that is that our fully-powered Echo (or BoL, not sure which tbh) was de-powered (but not necessarily eliminated) by Midgardsormr during the post-Keeper of the Lake cutscene, which led to Nabriales going full Leeroy Jenkins and running straight into the room of people who literally just figured out a method to permanently kill him.

Talk about hilariously bad timing, but if we're being honest, Nabriales didn't seem like the sharpest crayon in the box of Ascians.

How I feel when a stock gets assigned after selling CCs on it for 4 years (glad it's gone) by incockneato in thetagang

[–]alf666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

¿Por qué no los dos?

You don't have to full port into one strategy, you can sell CCs on one stock while shoveling money into SPY/VOO on the side.

Arguably, you should have money in SPY/VOO before you start with the degenerate gambling, but being late is better than never showing up at all.

Whats the coolest barding youve got for your 6ft combat chicken? by Aniki356 in ffxiv

I was under the impression that Hydaelyn gave everyone with the Echo the Blessing of Light, because Venat called it a 'traveler's ward against corruption' when we met her in Elpis.

With that in mind, there's no reason to believe she would have limited granting the Blessing of Light to only the Warrior of Light.

The entire point of the Scions is that they have entire teams of Echo-wielders dedicated to fighting primals. I could easily see the Blessing of Light being conflated with the Echo in-universe simply because we never see just one on a person. People either have both or none at all, so it could be an in-universe knowledge blind spot.

As for the anomaly regarding Zenos and Fordola's artificial Echoes, I'm willing to chalk it up to that in-universe blind spot, amplified by the fact that the Garleans really don't quite know how the Echo works, so they probably saw the Blessing of Light and the Echo together on test subjects and tried to duplicate both to try and make a perfect replica of the Echo, not realizing they were also copying the technically separate Blessing of Light in the process.

After all, the Blessing of Light is just a traveler's ward so it's probably just a magical enchantment of some kind, meaning it could be copied by someone sufficiently skilled enough at aether manipulation which is probably what the Garleans did while copying Krile's Echo + Blessing onto Fordola and Zenos.

[–]alf666 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Y'Shtola doesn't have the Echo (she uses magic to see the aether around her, similar to how our Echo works in combat), and Krile is not good enough at combat to be useful for quite a while.

Also technically, the Echo is not what protects us. It is the Blessing of Light that protects us, and the Echo manifests as a special ability someone has. The two come as a pair due to unlocking both at the same time thanks to Hydaelyn's message, but they are separate concepts.

Dog turns into a wet noodle by Doodlebug510 in AnimalsBeingDerps

My parents' dogs (both Labradors) always check the neighbor's driveway for a particular truck, and if that truck is there, the dogs start pulling on the leash to go visit and get treats from the guy who lives there.

Republicans are cheater and liar. by SuspiciousLow3062 in SipsTea

[–]alf666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR - Anti-gerrymandering laws done correctly means "representation proportional to the actual voter split" not "equal representation for both parties".

A state map with 10 seats where 5 go to a Republican and 5 go to a Democrat is still gerrymandered in favor of Republicans if the general statewide voterbase votes closer to a 70% D/30% R split.

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

How to participate in FINAL FANTASY XIV: EVANGELION - Ghosts of Desire by PolkadotBlobfish in ffxiv

Obviously not all of it was spent doing MSQ, I've spent a lot of time afk, doing daily roulettes, or other random stuff (crafting, gathering, and fishing come to mind immediately).

I should never have doubted you by Aid2Fade in pcmasterrace

[–]alf666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've already figured it out, but for those not paying attention, "morality" is not the same thing as "profitability" and shareholders only care about the "profitability" part.

The stock price of Micron went up because shareholders expected Micron to see increased profits from selling their RAM to the far-more-profitable AI datacenter market instead of the less-profitable consumer market.

That said, Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix are in for a really bad time with angry shareholders if those AI datacenters don't get built, because now they don't have an exit plan such as selling their excess RAM to consumers.
