Kiwi Rook giving out that armor and being a friend. Gotta love it.

100% agree on the Mazda 3. I have a 2016 3 sport and I’m still in love with it. My next car will probably be the 2023 or 2024 Mazda 3 turbo depending on the type of deal I can get with a used one. In the entire time I’ve owned this car it has given me less problems than even the 2008 Toyota Yaris I had before it did, and I still thought that little guy was reliable. I’ll stan Mazda all day now. If I didn’t live in the north east, I’d get a MX-5 today… and hell I’m still tempted even though it would not be a “great” idea.

No, I'm replaying 8 via the mobile remaster right now and that is what you can do and how the game essentially explains why it happens. It only works with Squall and Seifer as well.

I installed PopOS last year after I got fed up with bloatware, adds, and just outright annoying “notifications” in windows 10 and 11, and I haven’t looked back.

I found a great resource in the ProtonDB website for configuring proton settings as I have also occasionally had games not work properly that are steam deck verified. There are typically enough people posting how they overcame issues and their build components so you can try to match up their fixes with your computer parts. It helps a ton most of the time.

Infamous Second Son and the expansion pack take place in Seattle.

I just finished Days Gone earlier this week, and that game was solid. I wish I played it sooner.

Lunacid - King's Fieldalike with a great atmosphere and PS1 era esthetic. Fun hidden secrets (sometimes a little too obscure, but whateva, still fun) that I fell in love with as a fan of the OG From Soft King's Field/Eternal Ring games.

Signalis - A thought provoking horror sci-fi game about an android trying to find their missing ship captain on a far away planet. I don't want to stay more to stay away from spoilers, but this plays homage to OG Resident Evil and other early survival horror games from a top down perspective.

Pyre - A sports game and VN hybrid made by Supergiant games. Not as popular (At least I think) as Hades, Transistor, and Bastion. Just fantastic story and world building with characters that you end up feeling so passionately for by the end of the game. Just a wonderful game and probably my favorite Supergiant game barely in front of Hades.

Dusk - A retro FPS ala Quake 1 era games. The game that kicked off the newest resurgence of "Boomer shooters" and is one of the best out there. Wonderful secrets and level design along with some solid atmosphere and scares by those New Blood boys that I love so much.

I’m Jay and this is my hetero lifemate Silent Bob…

No, not at all. She does have some interesting faces while she is laying around at peace. The rescue I got her from told me she was a part of a feral cat colony living on the streets, so while I think she could fight with the best of them; she is a lover at heart.

What does Biden and Democrats (assuming from the US) have to do with an Australian company?

You are a champion! Thank you for this info! I’ve been wanting to install something else on my Surface pro 7 since I started using W11 on it and immediately disliked it. Your comment just turned that into a much easier process for my weekend!

Seeing you here makes Lemmy feel even more like home... Thank you for all you do!
