I also played ff8 before ff7 and largely prefer it. The combat system is a mess but I’ve grown to like it.

I played a bunch of HoMM 3 but I don’t think I understood how to really play the game. That game is a lot more complex than it initially seems and it’s not trivial to me when to add new heroes, explore and split your units.

I like the rolling updates, to be honest. Endeavour has been a wonderful and simple experience. Aside from some NVIDIA issues with Wayland it has been a blast.

Lightning Returns was boring AF. I tried to play it like 4 times but I just can’t. It’s awful.

13-2 is one of the worst ones, to be honest.

Final Fantasy X is probably my favorite Final Fantasy of all time. Just don’t play X-2, assume the story ends immediately.

The HD remaster has some “cheats” to smoothen your experience, if you ever want to give it another shot:

• No random battles
• Infinite gil
• All non key items
• invencibily (to make up for low levels)

This way you can enjoy the story and move quickly through the game.

If you don’t enjoy turn based battles nor grinding I think this IP is just not for you. Definitely nothing before Final Fantasy 12. Maybe Final Fantasy 12 is ok, though I thought the story was on the weak side.

Dota is not casual at all, it’s quite competitive. It’s the reason the communication is so toxic.

Couch co-op games are very nice but in my personal experience friends don’t make a habit of gathering to play them. It’s a infrequent ocasion, online gaming is much much easier. Boardgames are a cooler experience if you’re gonna have people frequently at your place.

Sure but the social aspect in games is often pretty toxic.

I played quite a lot of Dota 2 and while communication and cooperation greatly improve your chances of winning… More often then not it was just someone raging hard over minor mistakes.

They can say the same about me, right? I have so many communication apps on my phone, why do I draw the line on Facebook Messenger?

Most likely you’re the only person they know on Signal and it makes more sense to them that you move to Facebook rather than moving their entire friend-sphere into Signal.

First of all normie not an insult or a derogatory term. The term “normies” is often used in many niche communities to refer to someone outside the community. It has nothing to do with being smart, privileged or experienced. It means more like “the average user” or “the typical person”. Example: a person in the boardgaming community may refer to you as a normie, not because you’re dumb but because you don’t play hobby boardgames (check out Brass: Birmingham, what a game).

The problem isn’t about comprehending the problem, most people understand that Facebook is selling their data. They just don’t care. They would rather have their data sold than to have the trouble to move to yet another communication app. WhatsApp is working just fine, Facebook is sparking joy. They don’t care.

“Normies won’t do X” is a perfectly acceptable way to express that the hurdles are too high for the average user. The average user wants a sleek UI, a user friendly experience and most of all they want to be in the place everyone is already at. The average Joe doesn’t want to be the first guy on Simple X, they actually really want the hassle free platform everyone is already at.

Also, the next great communication app is constantly changing. It used to be IRC, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal, Matrix, Simple X, Session. I’m sorry to say that the average person is not willing to migrate that often. Facebook works, their friends are already there, they stick to it. This isn’t elitism, it’s just stating what I see.

It’s not elitist, it’s realist. They don’t want to install Signal just as much as I don’t want to install Facebook messenger.

Yes you can nag people but it will more often than not have the same effect as when people try to convince me to install Facebook messenger.

If the worst part about Signal is having a third party send you an SMS to confirm your phone number then that’s amazing.

Why are you hating on Ladybird when its not even in alpha stage?

I used to have Mullvad and switched to Proton because I use pretty much their entire suite…

If you don’t need port forwarding, I think Mullvad is superior in everything. Such a great service, highly recommend it.

When I use the linux or web client it asks for a selfie with my ID card when I try to enter a server.

Works fine on Android.

Contacted support, they say my account is not flagged as underage but I have to submit the photo anyway. I told them i won’t.

It’s single thread, one file at a time.

Bad example since lucky literally means good luck.

Is the video catalog larger for paid customers?

I searched for my topics of interest and hobbies but barely got any hit.

Sucks they don’t have a trial period.

I was told the show is very popular in Australia, is that true?

I don’t really mind the contestants outside Europe, I think it’s pretty cool they invited Australia if Australians are indeed fans of the show.

I feel ashamed that my country is not on this list.
