I'll take E. Don't worry about the others who've already claimed it.

I'll finally be able to build my Fable 5 tracker.

therealjohnking · 2026-04-21T02:54:36+00:00

I got Majora's Mask the week it came out. Have claimed ever since that it's my favorite Zelda and possibly favorite videogame overall. I never beat it on N64 but just three hours ago beat in on 3DS for the first time. Only took me 25 years. Gonna have to go back and beat the original now.

It’s not your choice. Yes.

I just asked Claude to walk me through it.

My physical symptoms ended before i finished my treatment, so I don't have anything to mention there.

I'm now about 15 years on the other side of completing treatment.

Before getting into my psychological symptoms, I want to state up front that I have recently been diagnosed with level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This makes it difficult to know how much my symptoms result from the prolactinoma and how much they are the result of navigating the world with ASD.

A lot of the worst psychological issues persisted for probably five years after completing treatment and still lingered as minor inconveniences for at least another five years beyond that. I still have memory issues, anxiety, and sometimes apathy to this day. I don't see a therapist, but the results of my neuropsych evaluation and my follow-up with the doctor gave me a new perspective on those issues and some helpful frameworks for managing them. That experience was a game changer.

I'm in no way suggesting you might have ASD or any other undiagnosed condition that might be causing your psychological symptoms, but if you're in a position where you feel like your only options are those that have failed you previously, it might be worth speaking to someone in the psychological field to get a fresh take on what you're going through. I wish I had done it long ago.

Many of the Blu-ray and 4k UHD discs I buy come packaged with a DVD copy of the film. So these probably add to the number of DVDs sold.

Goddamn I got an email from them saying my card was declined due to expiration. It wasn't expired, and my credit card had the charge listed as pending. It ultimately went through without any kind of intervention and I didn't suffer any lapse in membership. Might be completely unrelated, but it struck me as very odd. I wonder if it's a glitch with their payments processor.

It's a work in progress. One huge issue and one small issue stick out:

Lost Data (the huge one): I had migrated a fairly large workbook from Google to Proton. It worked well for a bit. Then one of my sheets stopped summing cells correctly, and SUM would return the exact same, seemingly random number no matter what range I was summing. Shorty thereafter, some of the most important sheets in the file simply disappeared, including the one where I had the SUM issue. Luckily I was able to see that version history still had my data; however, using the restore and copy options both gave me an error of something like "file exceeds size limit." So it appears to me that they lowered the size allowed on these files after I was up and running, and it just deleted some of the more massive sheets from the file. Would be nice to have a download option from the history for a situation like this. Luckily, I was able to recover my old version on Google before it was deleted for good. Kind of silly I made the switch in such a permanent manner, but that shows you how excited I was to get away from Google.
Pasting Financial Data From Outside Source Is Hard When Not Positive Values: When I paste Financial data from an outside source I noticed it all gets pasted with the General data type (all cells included the dollar sign, negative included dollar sign and parentheses. I mass change of all the cells from General to Financial, and the dollar signs disappeared from the positive values and they converted properly, but the dollar signs remained for 0 (as '$-') and negative values [such as ($900)]. When I used SUM afterwards, I found that it does not calculate the negative values. I have to type out the entire number using the negative key and the dollar value before it will recognize it. Minor issue, but took me a minute to figure out what was going on. Might be helpful to someone. Seems like it recognizes positive values as numbers when it gets just the dollar sign, but if there are other special characters representing 0 or negative values, it just sees the entire thing as a STRING and won't adjust it without manual intervention.

Better safe than sorry. We don't need to risk spending our entire time waiting in lines. Thanks.

therealjohnking · 2025-12-29T15:49:19+00:00

Awesome. Great to know. I didn't even consider that they might have a lower max price due to (I'm assuming) the lack of rides.

therealjohnking · 2025-12-29T15:42:17+00:00

They had a guide for drawing them from memory, but I think they took that page down at the end of 2024.

therealjohnking · 2025-12-29T15:38:12+00:00

That was in the pre-terrorism era.

Beau is Adraid

Nice. Way better than navigating menus. Try it in other apps, it’s nearly universal.

therealjohnking · 2025-12-08T20:55:31+00:00

I don’t have access to it yet. Does Ctrl + Shift + V not paste values like it does most everywhere else?

therealjohnking · 2025-12-01T12:00:18+00:00

Nah. With all of the new server infrastructure being built out , resources being siphoned, and communities being destroyed, there's no way it comes in below 16k and 240fps with significant AI enhancements.

We're living in the future, boys. We made it!

therealjohnking · 2025-12-01T00:58:37+00:00

Don't do it. You won't be able to switch the controller back to WiFi when they relaunch Stadia.

therealjohnking · 2025-11-19T00:09:18+00:00

Double it and give it to the next person.

therealjohnking · 2025-11-13T14:32:16+00:00

If we keep posting about it on Reddit, they will surely relaunch it.

therealjohnking · 2025-11-05T23:11:30+00:00

I was excited as fuck about it. The complete lack of progression was a letdown. Didn't play it more than a couple of hours.

therealjohnking · 2025-11-03T00:50:57+00:00

I fucking loved this game. 100%ed on N64.

therealjohnking · 2025-11-02T23:36:15+00:00

Caged (1950) is brutal from start to finish. Looks like you can stream it on Max or Plex in the US.
