We need a monthly AI generated report. Instead of Executice Summary at the top, it gives a Casualties and Surveillance Summary.

Yeah, I really enjoy going the new game plus route for this. Having your whole party available to you with their progress carrying over, having the ability to get the characters in your party that you couldn’t get due to lack of conviction points, seeing your conviction points, seeing your path traveled, having your encampment available from the start, and just experiencing the story from different paths is all the reasons to do it.

It would be difficult to start on hard mode, but I would just grind for the moves and characters I know work. Eredor’s provoke, Frederica’s burning chains, Julio’s TP grant move, etc. Really it would just be an optimized run, which I think is less fun (more repetitive) than continuing to level up characters and experiencing their full kits. But to each their own.

So by the time the 2nd play through is over, you are maxed out in level for the main people you play. So the level grinding you mentioned isn’t really there. Maybe some gold grinding to get further in the skill tree, but that should be limited given my play through count. Unless you really want to get everyone to max level, but that is simple, as doing any move will raise your level by one.

I did the Frederica ending first. It was idealistic. Then Roland’s… which was my least favorite. Then Benedict’s which was good. But each have their own drawbacks, thus, the golden ending. I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

At this point I am stuck on the first level. It’s very difficult, and is apparently one of the hardest missions in the game on hard, new game plus. On normal new game plus, it was still easy. Hopefully I can get through it on hard, but the strategies seem to involve breaking the AI and using Quietus, which I hadn’t needed to do before this. We’ll see if I can make it work.

Triangle Strategy. Just finished for the third ending. Will start again for the 4th and final ending. Best game I have played in a while. This might be my first hard mode run.

This is solid if you’re somewhat technical. I think it could be simplified with an overview at the beginning.

• Pick a desktop environment for testing and download the iso
• Format USB
• burn iso
• boot to usb
• test, repeat if necessary
• dual boot
• non dual boot
• MS equivalent programs

I feel like the focus jumps around. If they have already made the decision, no reason to list replacement programs.

Honestly, you might get some better results if you dropped it into AI and asked for a summary/less technical versions of what you wrote. Or it could just make you laugh.

Most places I’ve been at have only OS restrictions when the corporate IT doesn’t support it. To be honest, while not perfect, WSL on Windows is great.

Awesome. Pumped for this after TMNT Shredder’s Revenge.

I just replaced the left joystick last night and it didn’t even dawn on me to get replacement screws. I did buy a repair kit, which had the tweezers, spudgers and the necessary screw drivers, all of which came in handy. I really wish you would have posted this 12 hours sooner, though replacing the triwings would be fairly easy.

It is super nice to have a guilikit hall effect stick. I didn’t touch the right one for now, as I wanted to make sure the left one was working given a few of the Amazon reviews. But so far, so good.

Just installed it today. I had been using KDE Neon for the last 6+ months and really enjoyed it, but I had issues I couldn’t google my way out of.

That looks great. Excited to see more of it, and really enjoyed the cut scene, character design, and the small look at gameplay. Consider me teased.

I can’t believe this is still going. I used this back in the day as the superior AIM client. This was truly a blast from the past that I didn’t expect in 2025.

What about the experience is miserable? I’m just curious as I really like it.

Oof. Then that seems more on the ops side of things. Interesting. I can’t wait for them to never share what happened so we can all continue to speculate. 😂

As someone that works in QA, yeah, they needed something to catch this. I saw someone mention somewhere without a source that they missed it as all test machines have their full suite of software installed. In that scenario, the computer wasn’t affected. So for QA it seems their labs might need to be more in tune with the user base.

However, the fact that they are able to push this so quickly worldwide seems like a big process issue. I get 0 day issues and that is how they justify it. But deploy to a small subset of customers before going global seems more reasonable.

Been down this path before. The water pump on my fridge wasn’t pushing through with hardly any water pressure. Replaced it, felt hella accomplished.

I think the worry is buying parts when it could be a couple of different things going wrong. Taking the time/money to do it and then find out it’s the other part is just infuriating. Maybe that’s just me.

While they are passable, if you have used/setup profiles in Chrome, it’s a far better user experience with more flexibility. Normally, I would go into app grouping in the start menu, but I just realized I am commenting in the Linux community. 😂

I keep waiting for better profile management. Not saying it needs to mirror chrome exactly, but feature wise it falls short (at least how I would like to use it).

I hadn’t given it much thought as so many of the legacy systems I worked with were case sensitive. But I’m with you. Except for passwords.

This happened where I work. An inexperienced team was making changes to a shared code base. They made changes to make usernames case insensitive, without thinking about them ready being case sensitive. So if you logged in with user CAT123, you might get cat123’s info. And then I was left on the team that had to clean up their mess and find and understand the impact.

I usually move the monitors around, the move my mouse to test it, until I avoid that, as perfectly aligning then with different resolutions doesn’t work. But yeah, totally know what you’re saying.
