The sense of closure and completion of a sad ending is just as valid as a "they all lived happily ever after yay" ending

#

After all part of what makes us happy with a story is engaging in it and feeling like a part of it

#

"it's more than just a game" type stuff
You can't get that kind of emotional investment if the good guys just win all the time

Saw an OG Pokemon booster at a local gaming store today

#

Haven’t seen one in person since I was a kid. Had it been graded, I may have actually purchased it

#

No way to know for certain if it was authentic and not gambling 450$ for a potential fake or repack ._.

But the nostalgia was real

Never ever buy Loose Boosters of vintage trading cards, whether Pokemon or Magic. They can be searched, weighed, X Rayed, or whatever. The only safe bet is a vintage booster Box being opened in front of you.

Honestly, by the time Gamecube and PS2 arrived, I never even heard a peep about FF7 existing. While you would still hear people talk about say Mario 64 and OOT.

Heck, dare I say, people talked more about Crash and Spyro, during PS2 era.

# full mountain capitalism is evil tho, this is just true, that ain't no fantasy

Existence is evil. If God is real, he is one fucking sadist motherfucker. There is no real meaning in being alive but existential dread and despair, since to live is to suffer the unending chase of relief. We are but slaves to desire. Also, the concept of individuality and Time (as in the present, the "now") is a fantasy, so it is kinda pointless arguing about the duality in capitalism

i just think stuff like the Nestle CEO saying that water isn't a human right while blocking native africans from using their own water source is kinda messed up, is all.

i think there are many other reasons why one could find FF7's story to be bad

PS1 as a whole is fondly remembered. FF7 was my first contact with the console in 1996, I didnt even speak english at the time, I would just do things randomly until it worked. Even after revisting the game I still find FF 4, 5 and 8 better. I'd maybe tie it with FF9, giving and advantage to the later one because of graphics and gameplay

#

FF7 is remembered because edgy character, tifa boobas and for many of us it was first PS1 (or RPG) game ever played...

# full mountain idk, i just feel its a bit contrarian is all

Being a game dev involves criativity and artistic talent/interest, which mostly is also associated with left wing tendencies. Being anti-stabilishment is really a common place in game stories, its just a matter of being more or less evident. You can quote more recent games like Fallout, Cyberpunk, Bioshock... or you can go old games like OddWorld, Full Throtle, Chrono Trigger... So saying "FF7 is a marxist critique" is really not something to make it standout

#

And as it only paints Shinra as some maquiavelic evil caricature without really giving us any shades of gray (Like GTA 5 does perfectly) or really any hint of choice or perspective, it feels bland

#

i wasn't saying it was a standout story but i don't think it was lazy, the story stuck with people for a reason

Since this is "off topic" Have a question and need assistance, how would one connect a flat 2 wire speaker that is left and right, to a single HDMI tv

not via an hdmi cable

Thank you captain obvious

peak folio

A receiver does what you want but they’re kind of overkill if that’s all you want to do.

#

Does the TV have eARC?

night plume
#

Venturing a guess, the speaker cables will need to be put into the appropriate adapter/plug.
But, I don't think you could go straight HDMI with that cable.

You would probably have to buy a part that connects to the tv that is made for that type of speaker wire.

peak folio
#

HDMI is not gonna go straight through to simple speakers, you need a device that decodes* the HDMI signal.

#

And if the TV doesn’t have arc, it wont output audio from the HDMI anyway.

Buy cable adapter

Not every porn game is for "gooners", and nkt every player of em are nerds in stained undies. Some of em are just... People

to be blocked by default.

Eusocial systems have a major weakness in that they require a lot more abundant food than other social structures, since a significant portion of the population is focused entirely on NOT gathering food

#

Ethically speaking, nobody owns digital art once it's published, but draconian laws insist that property rights must be violated to put creatives and thinkers on a higher pedestal than those who work and own physical goods. This higher pedestal in rights and ownership is the central claim that one person can restrict another person from using his property due to owning an idea or concept.

#

Copyright and similar claims wrongly superscede ownership, but it's not like the courts will do away with the racket anytime soon.

The images, yes. The technology did have some theoretical use-cases, such as acting as a token of ownership over the signature for a digital contract/EULA, but people kept using it in places where it didn't really serve any function. Imagine if you could trade or sell "pre-owned" digital games on platforms like Steam, including previous save data.

You act like the idea of adding some parity of "ownership" to digital games rather than "licenses" is some bad thing, people used to get some amusement seeing where the previous owner's save file was, like in a pre-owned pokemon game.

Hey. So y'all know how you are supposed to put in RAM cards in staggered slots, like not right next to each other. My motherboard has a broken slot that it tells me is the optimized slot to use, so if I put a stick in there the PC won't start.

After having my CPU cooler break down and cause my CPU to hit 90+ Celsius in idle/bios, and struggling for basically a week and a half to get a replacement from Amazon due to ridiculous shipping errors, i finally got the new CPU fan today, got it all hooked up, got computer booting (which I was also worried about because I had tons of difficulty taking out the old fan due to stripped screws, so I was worried I might have damaged motherboard).

Now, computer up and running, chilling at a cool 30 Celsius. I haven't started gaming yet but it was literally hitting near 100 on bios/idle

I'm so happy that, for one, I didn't bust my motherboard trying to take out the old fan, and two, that this new one is working so well
