Nothing beats those old ascii art guides. When you’re playing an old game, you know they won’t let you down.

Poor thing…

Like Mario Maker level design rules.

I think his biggest games were the early 2000s Ninja Gaidens and the Dead or Alive series.

I think he DMs them the real one privately.

That’s so much money. It’s immensely frustrating that any assistance programs we come up with ultimately become a massive wealth transfer to big companies.

SNAP, subsidized student loans/forgiveness, Medicaid/Medicare, etc. The market will just happily absorb the free taxpayer money and then still raise prices on everyone because of the increased demand.

You don’t know how hard you’re selling me on this game.

Life has been busy, and I’ve been taking my time with it too. I’m in act 2, but just barely.

You don’t see this kind of attitude as often in games these days. Maybe indies.

Well, you can thank Itagaki for that.

Kojima is talking about Death Stranding. Miyazaki is talking about one of the Dark Souls games. Itagaki is known for the early 2000s Ninja Gaidens and Dead or Alive, so I’m pretty sure this would have been in reference to Ninja Gaiden.

This is good to hear. I also have a cheap Pi that I’m not currently using for anything. Maybe I should figure out a job for it too.

To be fair, I’m a complete noob and don’t know if what I have is too weak or overkill. I just figured that it’s a 12 year old computer and might be worse than what others are using.

Will do, thanks! I haven’t even thought about the power consumption yet. Hmm… maybe I’ll do some math once a power bill comes back to bite me.

The most alluring of smells.

What is your current distro?

I’m not sure what this means yet, but I’ll try to remember when it comes up, thanks. The PC I plan on using is fairly old - a 2013 build with a 770.

My plan is to start by turning an old PC into a Jellyfin server, just to see how everything works. Then later I might buy dedicated hardware.

Self-hosting is calling to me right now… I’ve been watching videos on it for the last couple of nights. I fear it’s too late for me.

Ooh, Lenovo is a much bigger deal.
