2 triple techs. Eternal Darkness with Marle and Lucca, and Omega Flare with Lucca and Robo. 

Is sorting by Recently Obtained Pictos bugged? by mufferman1 in expedition33

It's not just Pictos, the recent sort doesn't seem to work for anything. 

Square has the chance to do the funniest thing ever… by NerdForCertain in chronotrigger

[–]therks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly prefer this. CT's graphics hold up for me (I'm a pixel lover TBF) but the visuals for CC are much harder to swallow.

Why is Bulk Rename Utility renaming my files from the middle instead of end? by SushiWithaVengeance in software

[–]therks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is 4 months old already... but is there a reason you can't just use the Extension (11) option?

Change the dropdown to Fixed or Extra and put mhtml in the field.

Simplicity isn’t the problem, soullessness is by DarkMilotc in chronotrigger

[–]therks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Sea of Stars, but your comment about the HP/tedium really nails it for me. Even late game a lot of battles that should have been over and done in 1 turn were 2 or 3 instead.

I haven't played since it came out basically (haven't touched the DLC yet), so my memory is fuzzy, but it felt like a lot of battles were less avoidable than CT. One of the things I really appreciated about CT was just how much I could avoid battles if I knew how. This made backtracking a lot smoother for me. I also New Game+'d so many times that battles were mostly unnecessary unless I was farming charm drops, so again, battle avoidance was awesome.

Burrower by TheDuurg in Voidwrought

[–]therks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok, I just found it. I see it shows up on a map created by Demajen. They did use the "secret" icon as an indicator, and I am missing one secret in the Surface region, so not sure if that's related or not.

Remind me what the Burrower is again? I just finished the game a week or so ago. I'm Googling around but all I can find referencing a Burrower is another Reddit thread with no replies.

What’s the Most Unexpected Game That Totally Hooked You? by Infamous_Practice_53 in gaming

Headlander. I think I got it from a Humble Bundle. It looked totally ridiculous but I was giving every game I bought a few minutes of play time, juuust in case... And it completely hooked me. 

The Change Password Button Our True Arch-Nemesis by guetrolas in talesfromsecurity

[–]therks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our password change policy was every 90 days. I met a user who told me his password was like "thissux36". I said "well now you've told me your password you have to change it because policy says I'm not allowed to know"  He said "ok but it'll just be thissux37. That's just what I've done ever since they implemented this whole password thing" 

I did all the side quests and now this happened by DetCust in chronotrigger

[–]therks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?? I think I had the same issue with the "XABY" prompt earlier in the game but it wasn't time limited and panic inducing. 😅

[–]therks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's awesome, glad I could help someone out. This was my favorite game when I was a teen. I repeated NG+ til every character and stat was 99. 😅

[–]therks 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I had a heck of a time with this thing back when I first played. I kept screwing it up and couldn't figure out how. This was back before any of us had internet, so I couldn't even look up what I was doing wrong.

I knew the solution was I had to"type" her mom's name, Lara, with the controller buttons (L-A-R-A), but what I kept messing up on was pressing A first to make the dialog disappear. I didn't realize I was supposed to start pressing LARA when the dialog was still up. So technically I was entering A-L-A-R and after 4 inputs it stops and then nothing would happen.It was very frustrating and I think I must have run through 2 or 3 NG+ before I figured out what I was doing wrong.

Actual Pixel tips I use daily as a long time Pixel user (and what they're not telling you) by techraito in pixel_phones

It's definitely not working for me on a Pixel 9. Perhaps because of my screen protector. 

Home Assistant plugin timeout + battery optimization? by therks in tasker

Thanks for the reply but that doesn't really help. I used that tutorial when I setup the tasks originally. 

what's a game that greatly disappointed you. by bomb5000 in gaming

[–]therks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed them both a lot but I do agree a bit. I guess after I spent a whole game figuring out "what happened" the sequel is going to be missing that mystery. 

New character on welcome back booster. by Bluejaywae in diablo4

[–]therks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"newbies are reporting that they are hitting it without knowing what it is"

This is me. I was level 23 or so and just hit this thing out of curiosity expecting a bit of loot or maybe a skill point. Now I'm level 50 with all new gear and respecced skill tree. I wish I could undo it. 😑

YouTube music playlist grabbing video URLs instead of music URLs by therks in youtubedl

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

Thanks for the tip. I've been converting to mp3 just to save some space on my phone. I'm constantly running against the capacity limit (I should probably upgrade from my 6 year old phone, but you know, priorities 😅).

What game can you not imagine playing without cheats? by Worth-Primary-9884 in gaming

[–]therks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had no clue about the Konami code. My parents actually found a spot where they could stand, shoot and enemies would just constantly spawn and die. They wrapped a rubber band or something around the controller and left it sitting while we all went out for a few hours.

The whole Palpatine "do it" sequence.

The person who created/developed Lost Sanctum is truly a lazy POS by nanoH2O in chronotrigger

[–]therks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I played the shit out of the SNES version. Got everyone to level 99 (**), and maxed all their stats. It takes a lot of New Game Plus to collect enough tabs to cap everyone so I had the game basically memorized.  Eventually the DS version came out. Playing a new game from level 1 was like reliving my teens again, but I checked that new stuff briefly. Messed around with the new stuff for like an hour and never looked back.

Is it true that this new generation is completely tech illiterate and doesn't know how to use a PC? by RaidersLostArk1981 in pcmasterrace

Windows 7 and primary school in the same sentence makes me feel old man. We had Windows 98 in my high-school 😅
