They’re using GameNative to play the PC version of the game on Android. Considering the 10 minute startup time, it sounds like it’s recompiling the game to be ARM compatible every time it launches.

Don’t forget, they only promised user reviews.

Many public libraries these days have 3D printers, and some of them are pretty nice. You could always check out your local ones to see if they have one you can use for your project ideas to avoid the investment.

On a related note, this is one of my favorite quotes: “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” -Aristotle

You say that like it was unprompted. Like OP didn’t very literally ask for these types of comments. If we were talking about some chess discussion that turned into anti-catholicism, you might have a point however you’re literally pointing at a thread asking “why do people dislike my religion?” as evidence for “this is why I’m prejudiced against.”

Someone asked for reasons, people supplied reasons, and now you’re bemoaning that reasons were supplied. I don’t know what exactly you were expecting to see when you opened this thread especially considering it’s about a historically very controversial group that’s existed for millennia, but I certainly wasn’t expecting an outpouring of unanimous support.

Religious prejudice will presumably continue to be a popular pastime for the next millennium as it has been for the last few.

Persecution complex much? I mean it’s not like atheism, homosexuality, or even left handedness were literally beaten out of people for centuries by religious leaders. No no no, you’re still so persecuted like you have been for centuries the way you can’t celebrate your faith (or lack thereof in other faiths), or marry the person you love regardless of gender, or use the hand that’s more natural for you.

Pointing out reasons to be against your religion (even if they were blown out of proportion, which they aren’t) is nothing in comparison to the centuries of shame, abuse, and death caused by your religion. Bemoaning those complaints as millennia of “religious prejudice” only further reinforces the existing image many Catholics create of being tone deaf crybabies.

“Guys, please, it’s just eating the body of a man and drink his blood, it’s not cannibalism. I mean like yeah you are eating flesh and drinking blood, but really it’s not like in a cannibalistic way.”

Truly the logic behind each of your counterarguments is staggering.

“Lemme see why people hate my religion… Oh no, they brought up a reason why they hate my religion! I know the perfect way to counter this argument!”

Yeah that’s exactly the reason I was so baffled by his instructions. I just stared at him and said “but this isn’t a mechanical issue, it’s an electrical issue” “oh well that’s what I do most of the time and usually it works”

Seeing first hand how he couldn’t diagnose a basic issue like that and how he just trusted some catch all solution to fix his problems (for that particular part) really connected the dots to why exactly he seemingly didn’t trust scientists or the scientific process at all.

Fair enough, that being said the problem in question was with a solenoid where the coil has broken insulation allowing a short to ground. He was instructing me to shoot a bunch of WD-40 into the solenoid housing with the core and spring where there were no electronics.

One of my jobs I was working next to an older man who didn’t believe in climate change because “they told us dinosaurs had scales and now they’re saying they have feathers!” He also once told me to fix an electrical component by “spraying WD40 on it” as if the electrons just needed some lubrication before they’d start moving again.

Both of those incidents helped me to realize who not to go to for help with that job and shortly afterwards he was let go after having an entire week with no work completed.

It took me a while to vote last week because I went on the last day of early voting and even then it still was 60-90 minutes. If I had gone even a day earlier this would have been much lower, and despite that fact I’m still fine with the amount of time I “wasted”.

I’ve wasted far more time on far less productive activities before, and I’m probably going to do so in the future as well. I can spare an hour and a half on the off chance that my vote actually helps something.

In terms of total time since I first played the game to finally beating it, probably Cave Story’s Ballos fight for me. I had a fan made port of the game for the PSP back in '06 ish, struggled a lot to get the regular ending, found out about the true ending, and couldn’t ever beat the Last Cave (Hidden), much less gauntlet of challenges beyond it. I think at the most I had seen that there was a secret area beyond the “final boss” for the true ending and the fan name for it, but never been. I might have once gotten to it but I know for certain I never ever beat it or the true final boss.

At some point around about 2018 ish I think I saw that they had a rerelease for the game on the Switch titled Cave Story+, where I fell in love with the game all over again and finally played it to its true completion. I still have all of the screenshots and videos I took during my first completion of that boss fight. I think since then I have beaten it on Hard Mode, but only ever on the Switch version with Co-op mode which allows you to double your damage output being that you have 2 players, so it’ll be interesting trying to go back and complete it again soon without almost any Health pickups at all.

Oh man I have such vivid memories of carefully placing every trap at my disposal so they were maximally effective and wouldn’t destroy each other, then running between tiny points of cover trying to do whatever I could to survive the hail of bullets coming my way.

I think I was eventually able to beat it on the hardest difficulty a few times, but that console has been dead for a long time so no way to check.

If you came here for the experiment on injecting Mantis DNA, well I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is we’ll be stopping that experiment. Indefinitely. The good news is that we have a much better test for you: fighting an army of Mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the green line! You’ll know when the test starts.

Last TV I had (besides my current CRT for retro games) I used an RPi 4 (later upgraded to the 5) for a media center and a steam link (purchased for $1 during a bundle sale) so I could game off of it from my desktop. I did also have a Chromecast but honestly with a wireless keyboard I would have been fine with just the steam link.

I don’t know about HD DVDs specifically but I do know they have plenty of movies usually in physical formats, depending on your specific location and whatnot.

I have at this point roughly 1.6k hours in a bunch of Monster Hunter games, though by and large the vast majority of them are in Generations and Generations Ultimate. I’ve never liked concerning myself with meta builds, certainly not in a cooperative PvE game that I regularly would play solo.

Now I’ll preface this by saying I’ve made some lifelong friends in the community, one of which I traveled halfway across the US to visit a few years ago. I don’t think the community is all bad, but I’ve found so many people who will do very little other than try to minmax DPS build via the current meta and shame others for not doing the same.

One not so bad instance I had was when I was trying to break into some higher tier armors. I was going into a fight that I figured would take a long time, knew was going to deal a decent bit of burst damage, could easily knock someone out after that burst was dealt, and most importantly had 3 people joining. Because of these factors, I went with a build where I would primarily support everyone else, then try to keep myself alive, then any time in between those priorities I would try to deal some damage. A large portion of my armor was kitted out to increase the effectiveness of my items, have them affect my teammates, make my items have chances to be reused, then I set up my inventory so I was carrying a lot of healing items and could craft more when necessary.

One of the players in that 4 man squad I remember specifically trying to shame me for bringing a lower damage weapon (chosen because it had more skill slots), having significantly lower armor rating than the others (because I only had mid game support armor, not late game), and for not dealing much damage (because I was trying to keep him and the others alive). I say this one wasn’t too bad because I also remember specifically that others in that very party pointing out that although I may not have had much armor it didn’t matter much since I didn’t engage much and they had noticed how much I was keeping them alive which would have otherwise failed us all the mission.

The worse situation I remember was getting sent DMs about how my build was bad, I was using awful skills, I had one particular armor set that was “a trap for new players”, and to “please just use [x] armor set”. They didn’t like I was using three skills each decided upon because they would fix reasons I kept getting combos interrupted then killed and told me none of them were necessary because “if you’re in the right spots then you won’t need any of those”,aka “git gud”. I could somewhat understand this mentality if we were in a PvP competitive setting, or if we were in a group together actively working to speedrun this monster, or if I had asked for feedback on my armor. This entire discussion came about because I was trying to share with the wider community: “hey I just found about this neat skill exclusive to this armor set!”

I should probably do something like that as well. I get plenty of music off of YouTube and usually prefer to listen to it locally rather than stream it and it’s always nice when they have the proper thumbnail and metadata, but I’ve been getting by so far with just using a well prepared CLI command for each song I want and substituting the URL in. It does most everything pretty well, but it usually ends up with my audio in a .webm format that my phone keeps wanting to interpret as a video file and usually the thumbnail only gets added to the one file with both audio and video, but not to the audio only file.

I’d be interested in hearing more about what you’re doing for this to see if my own solution could be improved.
