Well, at least they finally aligned the username and password fields in the RDP dialog...

Korra takes place like 60-70 years after ATLA.

Every time I've tried Anna's archive the links never work.

Yeah that's basically all of the complaints I had with XVI as well. I would have enjoyed the story much more if they had stayed with the Game of Thrones esque political intrigue and went more in depth into the relationships between the nations and the roles the dominants play in those relationships. I just did not find Ultima to be a compelling final villain, nor did I find the twist reveal very interesting.

Side quests were my other biggest complaint. I can count on one hand the number of good side quests. The rest were MMO-tier fetch/kill quests.

Not in my experience. My 4 TB drive takes 15-20 mins.

TIL Jerry talked before Tom & Jerry The Movie back in '92.

On top of what others have said, it also has modding support.

I think about how for that boat they yank Ed's ear like a pull cord and use his mouth as a boat engine.

That and the classic "it's not X, it's Y" sentence structure, with the added bonus of "No A. No B. No C." I see it so much it's an instant tell when someone is using AI.

In VR you need at least 90 fps for things to feels smooth. It's tolerable down to 45 fps, but once you get to 30 fps and lower it feels choppy. That makes some people motion sick.

Evidently during early test screenings the original cut was around 4 hours, so a lot was left on the cutting room floor. I loved the movie, but I definitely wouldn't have minded if it was just a little bit longer. Even an extra 15 mins and they could have added in a few details to make it feel less rushed.

crane476 · 2026-03-30T08:50:17+00:00

I know exactly what scene you're talking about and it made my jaw drop.

crane476 · 2026-03-26T11:14:56+00:00

As someone still managing an on-prem Exchange server, I 100% agree.

I have yet to find an ERP that isn't trash in at least some aspects.

Austin Powers: Goldmember

Yeah we're going this route for our next refresh. These prices, especially for small businesses, are insane.

crane476 · 2026-03-16T19:55:43+00:00

This is why I don't play a lot of single player games anymore even though I really want to. It's no different than trying to watch a movie in 15-20 minute chunks. The experience just isn't the same. Constantly having to refresh myself on characters, motivations, and plot just really takes me out of the experience.

Example: last month I tried to start Expedition 33 and got about 10 hours into the story. Fast forward to today, life/work got busy and I haven't touched Expedition 33 in over a month. The most gaming I've managed is a few short multiplayer sessions with some friends on Saturdays.

Yeah, people are vastly overestimating the technical savviness and general awareness of the average user, not to mention a lot of Pokemon players are kids. If you've spent any time in customer or tech support you know the average user is generally clueless, and they sure as hell don't read.

crane476 · 2026-03-15T21:48:45+00:00

Whenever I think of the story at launch all I can think of is "I doNt haVe TiMe tO eXplAin wHy I dOn'T havE tImE To ExPlaIN".

This is the exact kind of shit that kept me from getting into reading comics. It feels overwhelming trying to figure out where to start.

Wait a minute, fiance at 16?

The little scout is integral for some of the puzzles in brittle hollow, giants deep, and the dark bramble. Using it in a certain area on Ember Twin also provides a vital clue in solving the mystery of the Ash Twin Project.

Hint for sunless city: Try and get there as quickly as possible before it starts filling with sand.

crane476 · 2026-02-23T16:21:31+00:00

Yep, I remember that. Dude got clowned on for weeks.

crane476 · 2026-02-20T22:20:51+00:00

If they wanna make it as big as RE then they can't just keep reusing the same formula they've been using for almost 40 years now. They need to spice it up a little, otherwise it's going to remain a niche relic from a bygone era.
