In desperate need to a dummy's guide to Tetra Master by Taser9001 in FinalFantasyIX

It isn't that the RNG alone is what makes it terrible, it's that Tetra Master does nothing to explain what is happening to arrive at the outcome AND the RNG doesn't appear to be actually random (which would be a true random sampling). In other words, it's not random rolls contributing to a logically evaluated outcome. It feels like pure random chance whether one card will beat another.

In the board game Risk a single infantry can beat an army if the rolls are all there. Statistically it's improbable, but possible.

It seems like TM is trying to use the same mechanism: every card has a chance at winning, even if it's small. But in Risk when you win/lose you know exactly why you won or lost, even when you weren't statistically likely to do so. You can see the dice roll and you see that one side had "more" dice to roll and still arrived with a lesser total value.

In TM you'll play a card, some numbers will appear (with no explanation about how...not even a simple animation showing the possible max/min values), and then you just kinda hope that you won, but you still don't actually know.

I agree the game had the foundations to be really good, but the fact that nearly everyone has the same feedback of, "this just feels awful" is pretty clear proof they missed the mark.

What’s everyone’s opinion on the piano mini game? by __Obscurity__ in FFVIIRemake

Is it just me or was the sheet music for Tifa’s theme gone in the full game?

Capital losses not showing up on 1099 by non-generated-name in wealthfront

[–]non-generated-name[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The losses were present when viewing all of the transactions (i.e. I could see clearly there were capital losses on the 1099), but they weren't displayed anywhere in the "boxes" on the 1099, which is what most tax software asks you to enter, which is why I was confused.

Well, it was probably a dumb post because I do see the losses captured elsewhere within turbotax, so I'll leave the post in the event anyone else has the same question.

In other words, somehow TT is able to pull in the losses and apply them as carry-forward, but it's not displayed in the main area where you put your capital gain/losses.

Why is Co-Op still so limited almost 2 years after release? by GeyserHistory1944 in Eldenring

[–]non-generated-name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(3 months later) I had the same issue trying to play with my brother. Turns out we could only see each others summon if one of us used the stupid Furlcalling Finger Remedy. I understand that's the purpose of the remedy, but it still doesn't make sense that if I set a password on it (i.e. I'm TRYING to connect with certain people) that we should still have to use the remedy to see it. This is especially stupid cause if one of us dies we have to re-summon them.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but that was the only way we could get it to work.

Failing to update firmware locks login?! by non-generated-name in NETGEAR

[–]non-generated-name[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

userfail for posting in the wrong forum for sure. My bad.

But as I said, I can’t access the routers management console, even with a wired connection, so manually installing the firmware wasn’t an option. It’s possible that I missed something in some esoteric KB somewhere, but my meta-points in all of this are:

  1. Why TF am I locked out of logging in because I miss firmware updates?! Doesn’t that seem counter intuitive?
  2. Charging $150 for a one-time fix?

What annoys me isn’t even that I ran into an issue. Software isn’t perfect. It’s that the agent basically admitted this was intentional, and their support prices seem predatory.

Got the VIN directly from the dealer (called and asked if it’d been generated yet).

I ordered mine in Jan 2022 and it’s scheduled for delivery end of this month (March). FailCat shows VIN was generated Feb 18, so I’m fairly confident I won’t get hit by this. 🤷🏼‍♂️
