loving hell, PC froze completely again. That's the third time. I think it might be the SSD because 2/3 times happened after quiting a game from the SSD (Elden Ring and Pathfinder). Although it never happened with FFXIV...

Okay checking out it seems to be something about DistributedCOM? At the very least it checks out happening just before every freeze.

Because I'm losing my retailer discount next month so I better get it now for 20 less euros, who the hell preorders otherwise (save for limited stuff).

Yeah cause Sony wants you to buy a PS5.

It probably will because SE releases since XV have been going onto PC, even sidegame stuff like Octopath, Bravely and TriStrat.

Yeah, on one hand it rules to be able to play everything on my PC and Switch, but it does 100% lead to less game diversity and not using the console functionalities to its fullest.

I stopped drinking sodas because they have me bad cases of gases and I should also control my sugar intake. I get addicted easily too, like I drank a bit of Coke to help me stay awake in the mornings and before I know it half the bottle is down so I 100% shouldn't drink that stuff.

What I should drink more are banana shakes, they're a great way to use bananas that are fine but started to sweeten/get smushed too much.

make banana bread instead. idk if that's like better for you but i love banana bread so

It ain't a bad idea but seems like a bit more work to do weekly, shakes would be easier since it's just dropping milk and banana on the blender, I can add some ice to make it an ice shake even.

Quick breads aren't difficult or time consuming with practice. Mashing the bananas mix your wet and dry combine and throw it in a pan. At any rate you can keep the bananas in the freezer until you want to make it. Or mash frozen banana to make fake ice cream

Oh yeah that sounds much easier than I thought, if I can just pan it.

It's wild hearing all these opinions about Dr. Pepper when I had never heard of the drink until I started reading American media? Here it has always been either a Coca Cola drink, Pepsi drink or off-brand from the supermarket chain.

Oh and also Aquarius, market as an energy drink no athlete drank which my mother gave me when I was ill and lost a lot of fluids, to recover them despite being so sugary I'm sure it made things worse.

The weirdest thing is Hale would absolutely be more expensive than Hellena so it can't be a money thing. Either they wanted to change the iconic VA for reasons (???) or someone on the development had something against the VA. Either way pretty hosed up.

EDIT: And if they wanted a new direction they could have just told her "sorry, not what we're looking for" and recast, which sucks but seems more reasonable than making an incredibly insulting offer.

I'd argue that the female VA, both known for being mistreated and abused, does deserve their voice to be heard at the very least. Specially given the hundreds of stories of VA getting screwed over for petty reasons.

But I do agree we need more details because as it sounds right now Platinum just insulted her for no reason and went for a VA who would probably have been less willing to work for that price if Hale is really very union.

Couldn't get much game time due to Japanese homework being insane this week but I got some levels in FFXIV Eureka and tried out the Cross Play beta for GG Strive. Bridget my favourite so far, nothing like making people suffer her yo-yos from the other side of the stage.

I kinda wish I had more problems because my brain going "downloading this Zelda randomizer->PC hijacked, files lost, all acounts hijacked, no money, dead on a ditch" without much reason for it is not fun.

My opinion of spoilers is ambivalent. I don't mind getting spoiled that much, and if it's game/movie/book I will probably never read I'll happily spoil myself since I'm of the opinion if a story is ruined by spoiling it it's not a good story in the first place. Spoiler culture for poo poo like Marvel movies and game VAs is dumb because it affects the product.

That said when I don't want to be spoiled of something (like XB3 or Bayonetta 3) I absolutely refuse to get spoiled and get annoyed by tangential spoilers (like the XB wiki spoiling 3 just by searching stuff on 1 and 2). Untagged spoilers should be a crime, if someone wants to spoil themselves let them but don't makle it accidental.

fridge corn posted:

As someone who has studied and practiced Buddhism at points in my life I immediately recognised and appreciated the messaging of Endwalker, but I was also so already familiar with it that it didnt carry any significant weight for me. That said I felt the expansion ended very well, had some great character moments and I even got a bit teary eyed toward the end.

My comments are lacking in much needed context. Final Fantasy 14 is exceedingly good and Endwalker is no exception but I feel it is lacking in several areas and it failed to reach the highs set by previous expansions. Part of this may be down to hype and my of expectations of it from reading ppls reaction to it in last years goty thread and elsewhere. I understand why ppl enjoyed it so much but for me it didnt hit as hard. This may be due to simple personal preference to what I find interesting or enjoyable in a story and I appreciate Endwalker wasnt trying to tell that story. I dont think Endwalker is bad, I was just expecting to enjoy it more than I did.

"Oh, so it's a normal take." I say, casually throwing away a large rock.
