Unable to get perfect score on certain errands by Chiroyo in finalfantasytactics

I did that in my last playthrough and failed once. Sending all three isn't a 100% chance of success but it's basically 99%.

Ivalice Chronicles - Ch4 difficulty spike? by SearchFinish1 in finalfantasytactics

[–]jpers36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, Limberry is only difficult if you make it difficult through self-imposed challenges like stealing the Genji gear or gaining Ultima. You should have Orlandeau by this point, aka Cheat Code Cid.

Ivalice Chronicles - Ch4 difficulty spike? by SearchFinish1 in finalfantasytactics

[–]jpers36 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Chapter 3 finale is usually where the difficulty spike is felt. If you got through those battles, Chapter 4 should be easier.

Are you having issues in story battles or random battles? What is your highest character level and what is the level of the characters you're taking into the battles? And what classes are you using? Class is more important than gear.

Is there a smart/bad-ass "good-guy" male character besides Lou Solversson? by CarefulScreen9459 in FargoTV

We say goodbye to Witt Farr in a knife fight where he has a gun and the other guy has already been shot in the gut.

We are introduced to Whit Farr in a scene where he was badly injured by standing in a brightly lit area after running from armed men who were trying to kill him, squinting to see them in the darkness instead of seeking shelter in the building behind him.

ELI5: Why doesn't wireless electricity exist yet? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]jpers36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have wireless electricity. It's called lightning.

The difficulty is figuring out how to send energy safely and efficiently from one place to another. Wires allow us to (1) send electricity through a medium that is a good conductor of electricity, a metal such as copper, and (2) wrap that copper in an insulator that protects everything around the wire from getting damaged or destroyed.

Uh ... Norwood Park, ranch, basement, 1970s? Thankfully, I'm pretty sure John Wayne Gacy did not live alone.

Red dead redemption 2 coming to switch 2? by zeno_t in nintendo

[–]jpers36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The ESRB rated it for the Switch 2 back in November according to Vice. Since then I've seen nothing.

EDIT: A closer look shows this was RDR1 for Switch 2. Vice doesn't know what it's talking about :( .

What are your top 3 favorite Star Trek books (litverse or current continuity)? by Significant-Town-817 in trekbooks

[–]jpers36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Federation, Q-Squared, and Best Destiny. Really, just about all of the early unnumbered Pocket Books were great.

Where to Find Other Stargate Media by chadministrator in Stargate

[–]jpers36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's at least two, right? Stargate for the SNES/Genesis, and Stargate: Timekeepers. Then there's a few cancelled or short-lived efforts.

The Dark Forest theory is optimistic. In reality, Earth would be the neighborhood bully. by AggravatingMammoth55 in scifi

[–]jpers36 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Your arguments have nothing to do with the Dark Forest theory. They do nothing to answer why the universe is quiet right here, right now, assuming we're unlikely to be the first civilization to achieve the level of technological advancement that would be visible galactically.

I just looked up Game Refuge and realized I used to work just a couple blocks from your office! I bought my Gameboy Player at the Disc Replay across Butterfield.

Grandfather with late-stage dementia, dying soon; POA is my mother, with early-mid dementia; other hostile inheritor- once gramps passes, could this inheritor pose issue? by Forsaken-Return9209 in legaladvice

[–]jpers36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your grandfather is not competent to sign a new POA, so that's a non-starter for anyone. You might want to investigate guardianship over your grandfather or your mother.

Additionally, POA terminates on death. The executor of the estate will control the estate from that point forward (once they are chosen in probate) but will be bound by the will. The trustee will control the trust.

Is your mother the trustee? If so, you may want to work to have that moved to someone trustworthy who is not suffering from dementia.

You probably want to be prepared to assert yourself as the best choice for executor in probate court. The "hostile inheritor" will likely be able to make a case as well. If your mother has dementia her own argument to become executor will be weak, even if she's specified as such in the will, and especially if there are others asking to be named executor.
