Same here! I spent a lot of time in Midgar, so it felt like the whole game could take place there. But stepping onto the world map was an amazing experience partially because of how amazing Midgar was to me.
I played it as a kid in the 90s though, so that might've coloured my interpretation of it.
"Physical copies" is a big ask, considering they would also have to be selling the hardware to run those games.
To your credit, they aren't actually selling most of their back catalog anymore, since their e-shops that sold games for the WiiU/3DS are closed down, and with them, the Virtual Console died. Now we've only got a subscription-based library to play a much more limited selection of old games.
Either way, it's not Nintendo's fault you pirate games. You want to play old games, and you don't want to pay too much money for them, so you pirate them. Let's be real.
Wow, Midgar was my favourite part of the original FF7! I remember thinking the whole game was going to take place in Midgar.
Why not a controller?
Ah, so if they just provide training to members of the Ukrainian military, then everything's fine in Putin's eyes? Loopholes are great
My attitude isn't going to matter if we all die. Neither will yours, lol
[...] gamble the future of humanity over western hegemonic interests
...I thought this was about Ukraine fighting back against the country that's been invading it
“Men are being left behind!”
They gotta get with the program! Lol
That could make sense. I'm not familiar enough with military weaponry to know how true it all is
Ah, I might've mixed it up with threatening or insinuating nuclear war.
Either way, it just seems like more sabre-rattling. Also, it's not something that the US is doing, it's something that Putin's being a pansy about.
Russia claiming X means war with NATO has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout the war.
Thank you! I read most of the first one and skimmed the second -- I don't get why they strikes would need to be done by NATO personnel.
Both articles allude to the fact that Putin considers it to be an attack by NATO because they'd be NATO-supplied weapons, but given his track record, he'd probably say anything more than turning a blind eye is an offense by NATO.
I hadn't heard that. Do you have a source for that?
Even if it would, which it won't, what would it matter? None of the looney tunes who care about this would ever come close to smelling the White House.
I'm weeping having learned this
And let me guess..."somehow", they haven't had to hack up their prices after raising wages, huh?
I don't think it counts if you're newly rich, though
Probably a combination of
- Trump's cult of personality
- Voter apathy
- Polling imperfections
Not at all. There are plenty of evil "independents" and "centrists". But let's not kid ourselves, there are evil Democrats too.
Still, I get your sentiment.
It still makes me sad that Bruce Dickenson was Pro-Brexit.
I know MediaBiasFactCheck is not a be-all-end-all to truth/bias in media, but I find it to be a useful resource.
It makes sense to downvote it in posts that have great discussion -- let the content rise up so people can have discussions with humans, sure.
But sometimes I see it getting downvoted when it's the only comment there. Which does nothing, unless a reader has rules that automatically hide downvoted comments (but a reader would be able to expand the comment anyways...so really no difference).
What's the point of downvoting? My only guess is that there's people who are salty about something it said about some source they like. Yet I don't see anyone providing an alternative to MediaBiasFactCheck...
I used to be able to press the microphone button on my home screen and say "Start 5-minute timer" and it would start the timer.
Now, when I do that, it does a Google search for "Start 5-minute timer".
How do I get that functionality back?
I don't want to open an app, and I don't want to use a number pad or anything to enter the number.
EDIT: Thank you! I went into the Gestures section of Settings, and now I can long-press the power button to get the desired behaviour. This might even be more convenient than tapping the mic icon!

Tap search button on the bottom.

Search like normal for communities with the search term. Results returned like normal.

Clicking the unfilled heart (to subscribe) results in the error presented in the attached screenshot.

The back button (Android) doesn't work. App must be force-closed.

The subscribing action was successful; discovered on reboot.

Repeating the steps, but instead of the unfilled heart, clicking on the community successfully navigates to the community.

This didn't happen before.

I might be one update behind current as of Mar 18
Bananas are ridiculously cheap even up here in Canada, and they aren't grown anywhere near here. Yet a banana can grow, be harvested, be shipped, be stocked, and then be purchased by me for less than it'd cost to mail a letter across town. (Well, if I could buy a single banana maybe...or maybe that's not the best comparison, but I think you get my point)
Along the banana's journey, the farmer, the harvester, the shipper, the grocer, the clerk, and the cashier all (presumably) get paid. Yet a single banana is mere cents. If you didn't know any better, you might think a single banana should cost $10!
I'm presuming that this is because of some sort of exploitation somewhere down the line, or possibly loss-leading on the grocery store's side of things.
I'm wondering what other products like bananas are a lot cheaper than they "should" be (e.g., based on how far they have to travel, or how difficult they are to produce, or how much money we're saving "unethically").
I've heard that this applies to coffee and chocolate to varying extents, but I'm not certain.
Anyone know any others?
I've got a fairly new 14tb Seagate Expansion. It works fine, and I've been using it for a month and a bit.
I don't know how long it's been doing this, but the power supply is making a very faint alarm sound. The power supply is plugged into a Belkin surge protector powered on and with the "protected" status light lit, and it is plugged into an outlet. The HDD is currently not plugged in to a computer.
It's not a beep or electricity. It's a distinct weewooweewoo. I couldn't even determine the source until I pressed my ear against it.
Googling just points me towards typical "my HDD is making a sound, how long do I have until it dies", but nothing pointed me to the alarm sound from the power supply.
I'll check again if it makes the alarm in other conditions, but in the meanwhile, I was hoping someone here might know something.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: The sound only happens when...
- Power adapter is plugged into the HDD, AND the outlet
- HDD is NOT plugged into the computer.
Plugging it into the computer stops the noise from the power adapter.
I know money can't buy happiness blahblahblah.
Do they do gift exchanges at all?
Do they ask for anything?
They have enough money that they could get anything made or done for them at a moment's notice. Like having ChatGPT, but for services. Ridiculous things we couldn't imagine.
Anyone have any insight into general trends along those lines?
