Mine came with carborundum glass and I got a PEI and like it way better.

I blued myself.

I guarantee this game is nothing like that. It will be forgotten immediately.

My grandmother had the “turbo” version of #2 for some reason. It’s the only one I’ve ever played, but I loved it. The actual gameplay wasn’t great, but the graphics, sounds, and story all blew me away at that time. It was so futuristic and cool.

That game was so futuristic. It was nuts.

Back then, the camera didn’t feel as shitty as it does today. It was all so fresh and new.

Buying a 3d printer and learning CAD is unlocking a super power. You can put something from your brain into the real world. It’s great for hyper specific parts.

Same artist who did the music for TUNIC. While its soundtrack isn’t great to listen to alone in my opinion, it is phenomenal in game. To the point where watching the trailer gives me goosebumps.

Also, I emailed the artist once to ask permission to use the Dustforce soundtrack in a YouTube video I was making. They gave me permission and I sent the video to them when it was posted and they said very nice things about it.

The music and sound effects are amazing.

I think a better analogy would be: it’s like if you bought an MP3 and the company expected you to delete it after you listened to it once, or pay for it again.

The piracy analogy would apply more for farmers sharing seeds.

That’s interesting. I didn’t know that. I tried working with Waydroid once on Bazzite on an older desktop of mine and didn’t get terribly far with it.

The Deck is what have me the confidence to move to Linux on desktop. I wouldn’t have switched if not for Valve.

seems like every update of Proton is nerve wracking.

If a version update to Proton breaks your game, you can always specify the previous version.

Auto detection for MQTT devices is a bit tricky. I struggled with that myself when I was trying to incorporate data from a web scraper I wrote. This config file here shows what I ended up with to create auto detecting sensors in HA https://github.com/chunkystyles/reservationsScraper/blob/main/mqttConfig.json

Each one of the devices gets registered at start up of the app.

If I were doing this all over again, I probably wouldn’t use auto detect sensors. I’d manually configure them. Here’s some examples of that kind of configuration I used for some HVAC remote devices I built:

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "makerfabs_remote_1"
      state_topic: "makerfabs/hvacremote/1/status_out"
      force_update: true
      expire_after: 125
    - name: "makerfabs_remote_2"
      state_topic: "makerfabs/hvacremote/2/status_out"
      force_update: true
      expire_after: 125
    - name: "makerfabs_remote_3"
      state_topic: "makerfabs/hvacremote/3/status_out"
      force_update: true
      expire_after: 125
    - name: "makerfabs_remote_4"
      state_topic: "makerfabs/hvacremote/4/status_out"
      force_update: true
      expire_after: 125

For these to work, you just put them in your “configuration.yaml” file in HA.

Go in blind and avoid looking anything up if possible.

Enjoy!

That’s what we call “brand synergy”.

Oh man, I loved this game. I didn’t know this about the PS2 version.

I’ve always been too much of a cheapskate curmudgeon to pay for food delivery and I’ve been increasingly baffled by people who pay hundreds of dollars a month to have cold, soggy fast food delivered at an eye watering premium.

I get laziness, I really do. For me, personally, going to pick up food is the lazy option.

Is that anything like transpiling?

Just a preface that I don’t like PoE.

Season 4 is a lot more fun, but I still think D3 is a better game. But if you compare D4 to what D3 was like at after release, D4 is in much better shape. It’s definitely heading in the right direction, and I suspect that the expansion in August will make it much better, similar to how D2 and D3 did.

Back to season 4, I leveled to max level, maxed out the battle pass, and experienced all of the content and that was good enough for me. I want really interested in sticking around to switch to better build and get the best gear.
