I think Konami will eventually release the HD Remaster of Suikoden 1 & 2 now that they aren't making as much money off gambl-- I mean pachinko.

Real time strategy hasn't existed like this since Ogre Battle 64, and it's a good modernization of the genre. Think Fire Emblem meets Ogre Battle.
Also playing Helldivers 2 when friends are online. I'm super behind in the whole game, but getting in a few dives with friends is a great time.

I'd also recommend looking up Grand Arms: March of the Red Dragon. It's not out yet, and it's a solo developer, but it's another game trying to be an homage to OB64

I agree though, without a guide you'd miss so much content unless you knew it was there. As a kid however, it felt so cool when I first recruited Troi by visiting a neutral town and he offered to join. It made me look around for ways to find other hidden characters!

They don't like clover! So no ripped up yard.

I didn't want to waste water on grass lawn, so we planted micro clover instead. Best thing ever. In the spring it flowers, and attracts pollinators. Then I give it a mow down to keep it from getting too tall, just before the summer heat arrives. It will help keep it low and dense for the drought that is inevitable. Our lawn is the only one that stays green all summer. I never water it. Don't cut it too low, but don't let it run wild. It will expand and try and take over other areas. Requires very little maintenance too. It's awesome.

Comment on [SOLVED] Debugging a slow connection between local devices in only one direction in ~tech
Artren Link ParentOh ok. I'm no expert in this field, but had a similar issue when diagnosing my mother in law's network for her! Hope you get a solution. Some old HDD had slow write speed and was killing performance.Oh ok. I'm no expert in this field, but had a similar issue when diagnosing my mother in law's network for her! Hope you get a solution.

Could server A have some media that might be limiting write speeds? Or possibly being limited by an oversaturated SATA? Seems odd to me, but maybe worth an investigation. Newer motherboards can cause this with their faster m.2 sockets eating up all the resources from some SATA ports.
The fact you can transfer out at 900+ Mbps is odd though...food for thought?

She lost her brother a year ago to Cancer, and was very lonely. So we got her a new brother who is a bit of a jerk, but he's warming up to everyone. This is Chipp!

The base content is pretty much worthless, because it doesn't mention anything about the recipe except that it's good....So the base link works. However the deep links require an account to read.

Funny though, I just scrolled down the page with the modal still active and read it. Just annoying is all.

Growing up in Nova Scotia we didn't tend to get that cold, but days it was it took ages for the car to warm up and be drivable.

Our older girl, with the white, is such a sweetheart. We lost her brother to cancer at the beginning of 2023, and a few months later she was very sad to not have a friend around so we recued the other guy. He's big, can be a bit rowdy, but is nevertheless a massive sucker for ear scritches. You just need to understand when he's done, otherwise you'll get a bite!
