This last time around it was just my ethernet drivers. I won't be able to check the specifics for a few hours, but it's realtek IIRC. It "worked" but very poorly, and the internet would cut out constantly until I blocked the newest drivers and rolled back to an old version

This is what made me finally pull the trigger. I have a dual boot setup in case I have game troubles, but Mint is my daily driver right now.
Some of my hardware doesn't play well with Linux out of the box though, so I had to spend a fair amount of time troubleshooting driver issues out of the gate.

Sucks. I've had 11 for a while and to some degree you can hack it into submission, but I've decided to just dual boot with Linux. But I'm not gonna pretend that Linux is for everybody. Between random driver issues and issues for certain hardware niches...well, that's why I still dual boot

It's been a lot of fun. The voice acting alone is worth it. And if course if you never played the War of the Lions version, you get that translation too.

Phantasy Star 4. I was a gamer for a long time before that, but that's the earliest one I can remember that has really stuck with me. Probably the first game to give me emotional damage too 😂

We had a Genesis with Sega Channel. SNES has some amazing games that I played later on in life, but I have to claim the title of Sega Kid. Phantasy Star 4, Shining Force, and so many other awesome games are very near and dear to me

I feel a little bad, but I did let out a good belly laugh. I'm sure it sucked at the time, but hopefully you can laugh about it yourself now too 😂

I'm sorry. I hope you're holding up. I've only followed along here and I'm broken up enough, so I can only imagine. He had care and relative comfort with you. Thank you for doing what you could.

You made a judgement call that made perfectly good sense at the time. It's sad, no doubt,especially when you have to be the one to find them in that condition. But you did save both Cloud and Zack and that's something to be commended and celebrated. 🫂

Tried installing through Steam and the game wouldn't even load. Installed with the EA launcher and I think it configured everything right to start it via Steam afterwards. Only played for like 30m or so though. Might need to give it another go

I love NYC but this is so real. Last time we ended up going to a thing there it was one of the busiest weekends of the year, and I spent multiple days scouring for rooms until I finally got something passable for like 300 a night. Must have been someone else's cancelation

Based on experience, I hope someone's sneaking you in something better than hospital food. Hope you're outta there soon!

Ngl, even though it's from my childhood too I was still clowning on it. Maybe harder than the youths 😆. I did think it seemed cool at the time, to be fair

I've never heard the original, but I've had your version going on repeat for a few days now.

It felt so backwards having to go from Maine to New Hampshire, of all places, to get a vaccine without a script. I don't even think they have any in Maine even if you do have a prescription. Or at least it was that way a week ago.
