    That's why it's helpful. Download the exe for an old game, plop it on a flash drive then install it on the XP/7 computer.

    The plot majorly diverges and they become practically different shows. Around FMA's episode ~30 is around brotherhood's 12 then the rest of the 50 episodes are completely different. It feels much...

    The plot majorly diverges and they become practically different shows. Around FMA's episode ~30 is around brotherhood's 12 then the rest of the 50 episodes are completely different. It feels much more like ATLA in terms of being an adventure compared to the original show's more character drama focus (not to say there isn't character drama in broship)

    No thank you. I like my handcrafted RPGs. You'll never get a game as resonent and impactful as Disco Elysium with that. Art should be made by humans/actual intelligence/emotion not a learning model.

    Or some sort of advanced RPG in the future where you can type or talk to any NPC, and they will respond with a real voice (and responses could be completely generated using a character profile and an LLM) rather than text.

    Between Tildes, Bluesky, and Lemmy I can get my fix. It's definitely not the same though and the hardest to let go was for sure Reddit. Not the hardest to quit - they took away RiF and that was a big part of my experience - but the hardest to let go. It was something special to be able to find a community for anything and nearly everything that was active.

    There were protests when it first started. Followed by mass arrests. I remember seeing clips of it all over when the war first started.

    The last time a 3rd party candidate finished in 2nd was in 1912, and it was a former president. That is hardly relevant to today's political climate. In this day and age 3rd parties only exist as...

    The last time a 3rd party candidate finished in 2nd was in 1912, and it was a former president. That is hardly relevant to today's political climate. In this day and age 3rd parties only exist as spoilers. If you want real change first we have to alter the way our voting works. As long as FPTP exists 3rd parties can only be spoilers.
