Those EXT4-fs write access unavailable errors look spooky. Should probably do some standard Linux FS testing (fsck)

I’ve not had to recover anything from a raspberry pi SD card, but in the case you start from scratch - and considering it’s upset at write access - you may be able to plug it into another machine and at least salvage bits of its configuration that way.

Destroying filthy xenos in Space Marine II with my battle-brother in online campaign co-op.

What a treat. Also Pokémon Platinum.

The article is even more wack than the price for the domain. They want to launch a $99 necklace that listens to everything you say while it “forms its own thoughts” about it. Then instead of talking to you, it just texts you when IT “wants” (read: on a timer or based on a system prompt)

The monetization is a one-time $99, no subscription. That’s … suspicious from a privacy perspective.

Ace Combat (PS2): Primarily Ace Combat 4, I’d say as it’s shorter but still great. If you like the gameplay then you’ll need to play 5 and Zero.

I use mealie, but an older version which still has its recipes public. Still waiting for that to be an option on newer versions.

One of the main reasons why I use Discord nowadays aside from the fact that my gaming community is there is for its extremely low latency video streaming.

I tried to use other meet softwares but the latency was 10+ seconds. Not useful when I need immediate feedback. Discord offers the quickest and most reliable way for me to get someone else looking at my stream in real-time.

I’ll be looking for alternatives because they’re, of course, not doing anything impossible for others to replicate, they just made it the default.

I just use Firefox until it definitely doesn’t work, then I use a chromium browser because of course I can’t not have access to a crucial website for my life.

Post-patch content in A Realm Reborn and Heavensward are both pretty rough. Post-patch content gets a bit better later on. Look up the alliance raid series’ and the raids and do those as well to break up the monotony.

Not a huge deal. Microsoft has every incentive to keep Call of Duty on the market leading console. Considering we’re about halfway through this cycle based on history, that means Microsoft would have left CoD on PlayStation 5 for another 3-4 years. This deal is very obviously only happening due to the anti-trust case, and because of the aforementioned 3-4 years it basically just says “we agree to put CoD on PS6 regardless of how well it does.”

Of course, when the companies merge, no regulatory body is going to actually keep Microsoft to their word with penalties high enough to care about.

This merger is bad for the industry without a doubt in my mind.

Cutscenes are definitely very prominent so far. I’d say like 70/30 or 60/40 gameplay cutscene. I think there’s more gameplay than cutscene but it’s still a lot of cutscene so far.

Yup. Pi-hole does DNS-level blocking which would only work if YouTube put their ads on some separate (sub)domain.

I actually experimented the other day by turning off ublock origin and letting Pi-hole try to do the work, but I saw ads.

Theoretically, YouTube could set up their infrastructure in such a way as to put the ads in the video stream you receive, but that is complex and has other risks and trade offs.

I’ve been playing Pokémon Sun now on my modded 3DS for a month and closing in on filling the dex. It definitely feels good to just grab a small handheld (even tho mine is XL) and play a light game.
