I appreciate your candor, I had a feeling it was cock and bull but you’ve answered my question fully.

Thank you for extrapolating for them.

I see where you’re coming from, sort of like the phrase “don’t reinvent the wheel”. However, considering ethics, that doesn’t sound far off from plagiarism.

Very well put, thank you.

I very much agree, thank you for indulging my question.

I have no knowledge of coding, my bad for asking a stupid question in NSQ.

The vast majority of games work just fine with 16gb RAM. I recommend running your higher speed modules as dual-channel and selling/repurposing your previous hardware.

Unless they are the same brand and specification, patchwork RAM tends to have compatibility issues leading to software hanging and potential crashes. YMMV.

ETA: Honestly you’re more bottlenecked by your CPU. I’d recommend finding a used Zen2 chip if you can, such as the Ryzen 5 3600. I have a 3600x in my home desktop with a basic Coolermaster dry tower. I’ve never gone over 70°F/~21°C on fairly high settings of TW:3K. That should speak enough of Zen2’s performance.

No, it’s an Australian.

✋ I’ll bring the Styrofoam and gasoline.

So shrimp are just sea hot dogs. Got it.

It sounds like she was a great person, and I’m happy you’ve found peace. I’m sure she’ll rest well knowing that.

I know all too well that time holds no prejudice to anyone. Take care, friend.

Who do I crowdfund to DDoS the DDoS’ers?

The Internet Archive, and by extension the Wayback Machine, are integral to Internet democracy and accountability. We can’t lose that.

the Zelda material is super sad for me as well because my late baby sister and I bonded tightly over the Zelda games

First off, I hope you have been able to find your solace. Losing family sucks, but when it’s someone that close to you it frankly changes you. This internet stranger’s heart is with you, FWIW.

My brother and I bonded over the Zelda franchise (specifically the OoT/MM era, plus WW). We grew up rough, weren’t sure if we would even make it to our thirties, and those adventure games helped us escape from some pretty crappy experiences. To us, it’s more than a franchise: it’s a culture.

Link is (usually) never the same character in the games; they’re like reincarnations. Being a Link doesn’t mean being one singular person. To me, being a Link means being steadfast, flexible, compassionate and, above all, adventurous. Things anyone can do/be, and that’s why I think the Zelda franchise fosters some truly amazing gamers when they play those games. Although I do find myself regularly curbing the invasive thoughts to break people’s pots… small price to pay!

I digress, the explosive prevalence of the Internet has led to printed walkthrough manuals being a thing of the Early Aughts. Ahh, it’s great getting older!

This is something me and my brother always did whenever we collectively bought a new game for our N64/GameCube. I’ll never forget snapping that shrink wrap off, popping open the case, and whiffing in the wood-pulpy smell of a freshly-printed, made-with-love Wind Waker manual. It was all ogre when we bought the walkthrough manual; not even my wife smells that good.

Or should I have mentioned Pokemon Stadium…?

I wonder if a layer of Ripstop over the tiles would reduce performance. I could imagine fabric being a less expensive option than R&Ding more proprietary tech like making the tiles even smaller.

Edit: Glossed over the fact the tiles rotate. Nevermind me.

I could see them innovating with electromagnetic suspension, like with predictive magnetic suspensions in supercars. General Atomics has also been developing a rarely green-lit, high-speed maglev train for freight in California, so we may see proliferation of that tech if the project shows success.

"Listen friend, I get it: you’re a family man. It’s hard workin’ day-in and day-out lookin’ 'dis good, am I right? Don’t tell me you don’t know how it is!

But my friend, 'dat’s where our similarities end! Where I may only walk to work (albeit with much better fur), you will be cruisin’ to work in 'dis bad boy. Just think of all 'da cans of wet food you’ll be hauling with 'dis spacious interior. 'Da engine, you ask? Just purrfect, almost as smooth as my coat. Almost.

Go on, just take it. I’ll worry about all 'da lame paperwork, you get out there and own those streets like 'da sun-stricken, microfiber blanket 'dat it is!

Just think of all 'da cans, friend!!"

A-fucking-men, I couldn’t have said this any better myself. It’s always been the ultra-rich causing problems for the Common Man, not the poor or public servants. The problem then, one that may be solvable by us, is figuring out how to shake-awake the brainwashed from their IV drip of late-stage Capitalism. More people need to congregate behind global wealth management for anything to truly be changed.

Honestly, it’s partly on the fans. Not enough people understand to be angry at the investors instead of the developers, who are essentially just scapegoats. Everyone gets fucked in the end except for the CEO and their Board of Directors. The frustration lies in how we remediate this as consumers who don’t want to boycott our favorite AAA-title games that get churned out yearly.

And don’t even get me started on…
