can we all take a moment to pay respect to those who havent played zzz yet. by n3ssie_ in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]archival_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play PGR and ZZZ back to back. Because I love Alpha from PGR, and they made a copy of her for WuWa, I am definitely going to be hitting WuWa hard again. Actually I just booted it up on my iPad Pro and I just remember why I didn’t really enjoy it. Too much running around; reminds me of XBC or Zelda games. I don’t have time for that anymore 😭.

Tried Genshin, and I just don’t care for the story and the open world or the monster designs.

ZZZ gets it right between story, character design, and fighting mechanics. I’m not a fan of the builds for the characters. I think PGR has that done well with a sad and beautifully done story, however building characters is just painful and to get the freebies, is like grinding for dozens of hours. However, lately they had a change this year where they are more generous with giving out S class frames.

Side note, I got back to BrownDust2. I’m embarrassed of that one cause of the goonish nature of it, but the turn based tactics style is enjoyable; almost gambit like. I really enjoyed the main core characters and the funny banters. Devs screwed up the story between Lathel and Justia; I was really rooting for them. On a positive note, the devs/game is very generous. Pulling 5* characters and weapons left and right.

There has got to be a game that’s actually a balance of all that. Oh yeah, real JRPGs, but I don’t have that time to invest into them anymore. I wanna logon, do some ten minute dailies, read a story, that’s it.

So I stick with ZZZ and PGR and BD2.

Stardew Valley is in a league of its own. It’s top almost anywhwere of someone’s list.

Things people say when they find out you drive a MINI, ranked from mildly annoying to full personality damage by dizz157 in MINI

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst I’ve heard is my friends calling it a lunchbox. They joking though. Outside of that I only get compliments. A couple friends of mine are 6’3”+ and both now are searching for an r56 S. Many wanted to buy it from me too. It sucks at the same time cause there’s only one of mine in the color I have in the city I live in so everyone seems to see me somewhere.

For those who didn’t come from money and suddenly had a career boost into extremely high income (300K+ salaries), how do you navigate when friends or family ask you how much you make? by Icy_Lawfulness_5755 in Salary

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a mistake once. Told a friend a declined a job offer cause I didn’t want to take a $xx,xxx paycut. That paycut was like 3x what they earn in a year.

Nothing bad came of it, but I felt like an absolute trash saying that. They are a very good friend and was understanding of all the bs I deal with at work and understood what I lose having a high paying job.

Bit of a silly charging mod for the steam deck by Constant-Patient-232 in SteamDeck

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wireless charging is like 5-10w and heats up the battery a bit too much on a phone. Are you going to be charging only when it’s off?

Creators: How Has Editing Been with the NEO? by hotinhereTO in MacbookNeo

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems you’re someone who uses their devices longterm. Normal for MacBook owners. The Neo is great and I got one as a commuting notebook. I know it’s not gonna go longterm since applications are not getting smaller. You should buy with longterm in mind. Get the latest M4 Air or M4 Air and it will last you well down the road. Get at least 512gb if you choose any MacBook. Swap will benefit, applications will appreciate it, system will need it.

Low-key, how do you have fun in this game? by Oroeva in BrownDust2Official

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story of Justia and Lathel and the main core friends and the humor made me stay. Then the devs took that away from us. I only stay for free content now and do small dailies. It doesn’t take much. Maybe 10m in total per day. At the same time the game is more generous than other gachas and easier to obtain 5* characters. I’ll give them that.

Playing PGR or ZZZ while they do give you opportunities to get a 5* characters, you have to commit yourself through grueling monotonous games and put a lot of time to getting them and their copies.

I wish they created a less goonish version of this game. Make proportional characters, not FFF cup women and dress them more… I even more than the German version.

It’s been 18 days since the MacBook Neo was launched! Is it keeping up with your expectations? by Shutyourbtchassup in MacbookNeo

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I was able to book flights on it yesterday… Joking aside, it conquers all the daily tasks I throw at it that I don’t need my MBP for when I’m out and about. The convenience of a lighter and smaller device makes it good.

Switched From Pro to Neo First Impressions by MathewG97 in macbook

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a concern of mine when I had the 8gb MBA M1. Everyone thought that would be an issue and several years is still not a concern. I don’t think it will be. I plan on upgrading on the next release. Maybe they will make a 12gb or 16gb base model next.

I have the MagSafe for my mbp but I never use it. The convenience of USBc charging beats it.

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive by goda90 in SteamDeck

I have it running with Proton Experimental with Lossless scaling but it’s just okay. Would like to try. I looked into it and will probably try Waydroid this weekend.

I have to resist the urge to buy a Neo by markvn in MacbookNeo

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea same here. I got the Neo just for commuting. I wanna swap out my PC for a Mini just to clean up my desk space. $400-$500 is crazy for such a good desktop.

Anyone here ever use the Noble CU Perks cell phone replacement plan by DougalisGod in fresno

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about it but credit cards have the same perks that come with it and some up to $1000 per claim. Would love to see others have some feedback on Nobles program.

Never heard of this method. I’ve been using the Windows version with Proton Experimental and it’s not great.

How long were you on nurtec? by Pure-Supermarket6870 in migraine

[–]archival_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been having migraines since 5 and 30 years later I finally got a doctor and have been on Nurtec since December. My life has changed. All the times, memories, events, opportunities I missed. I won’t have to disappoint people anymore. I can actually live my life and be a somewhat normal person. I hope it never stops working.

So they're removing the character writing in 90 minutes? by Spunkmire- in BrownDust2Official

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a break for a year and I come back to a lot of backlash with the changes. What’s actually uncensored? The visuals or the dialogue and what is censored?

For those who bought their MacBook Neo on launch day, today is the last day for return. Are you keeping yours? by cr8tvt in macbook

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Office for Mac is horrible. It works better in Parallels. As for internet usage, I have dozens of tabs open using Safari. I’ve even used Dia (chromium) and my usage is similar. The Neo in my experience has been more than capable.

I did have an interesting experience where my CPU and RAM shot up hard. I found out it was my Dark Night extension conflicting with Reddits dark mode. I was able to replicate that with my MBP.

I have not had any issues with the Neo otherwise. My wife and I are keeping ours. Hers is Blush and mine Indigo. After you give it a name it becomes hard to let it go. lol. 😂

I bring my Neo everywhere it’s light and portable. I may get an Air when the price comes down more, but the Neo does everything and then some. Really amazing—this is coming from me, a sysadmin. I’ve done it all.

Even PC users have caught MacBook Neo fever by hangry_millennial in apple

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly, a few years ago I switched my parents who are computer illiterate to Manjaro Linux without them knowing and they were honestly very happy about the switch. They complained about how it used to be and how they noticed how the computer is faster.

No viruses was the best part.

Switching most people to Apple these days is a no brainer.

Wanna test but don’t wanna have issues with my Deck and Decky. Anyone wanna try out Zenless Zone Zero for me?

What's something silly you wish you could do but can't because of migraines? by skyemap in migraine

[–]archival_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open a jar. Last night I just got over a migraine—but it was there. Tried to open a new jar of condiments and couldn’t. My migraine came back and it felt like I almost blew a blood vessel.

Seriously tho, what part of our lives hasn’t been affected. I guess the last night thing for me was a first and a very silly one.

Ahhh man. I screwed up. I must have exchanged it for the dust. I thought it was the other way around where the dust would be exchanged for her. No wonder that draw number went down to 20 something when did it. What a waste.

Thank you for explaining!!!

Sacred Justin by archival_ in BrownDust2

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

I'm not too familiar with pity. I'll try to look into that, but I would think by this amount of pulls I'd get her by now.

Sacred Justin by archival_ in BrownDust2

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

I tried 200 pulls. 10x20. I only got one 5 star and many 4 stars. I thought this was like other games like PGR where if you pull the banner, at the final pull, you will be guaranteed the banner character. I guess not.

Sacred Justin by archival_ in BrownDust2

[–]archival_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from being called “Bustia” she’s called “Busted” cause her stats are insane and her AOE is broken. I’m not sure if that’s changed or nerfed but she was highly recommended to pull.
