luciole , to gaming in What JRPG combat is your favorite?
@luciole@beehaw.org avatar

I can’t say I have a favorite, but I do strongly favor anything strictly turned based. I’ve been playing Divided Reigns and its combat system is stellar imho, so there. Lots of weapon types, lots of attacks for each types, lots of skills, lots of magics. Makes non magic users at least as satisfying to use as spell casters.

If we talk Action JRPGs then i guess it’s Drakengard.

Protagonist power not enough? Then i summon my legendary dragon and end my turn!

(Wait no, that last thing is not true.)

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, what’s a good place to buy them, ebay? I’d be using it mainly for web browsing and playing sames through moonlight

I’m not sure, I got my current one through our tech guy at work, not sure where he gets them

z3rOR0ne , (edited ) to gaming in What JRPG combat is your favorite?

Xenogears for the PS1 had one of the best combat systems I’ve ever played. Tied with Star Ocean 2 for the PS1. There’s a remake which I think they overhauled the combat system, so I’m not sure if it still is as good as the first edition, but the customizability was amazing.

After that Grandia was fun, but I played it far less than the aforementioned, so have less to say. Chrono Trigger was very good for what it was, and IMHO was only matched by FF6 in that category (heavy turn based combat systems). Chrono Cross is an honorable mention in that category as well.

Lastly, very recently the Sea of Stars game had a very good combat system.

Ultimately these games have great stories, and that’s all I really cared about, but the combat systems could either make or break the monotonous grind to get to the plot points, so they had to be at least decent to make the games playable.

I highly recommend any of these games. Chrono Trigger in particular is highly regarded as possibly the greatest JRPG of all time, and personally I’d put Xenogears at 2nd place, with Star Ocean 2 at 3rd. But I might just be nostalgic.

tiredofsametab , to nostupidquestions in Knife vs. Gun Control?

I moved to Japan where knives are also heavily restricted. If you live in Japan, you need a permit to purchase anything with a fixed blade over 15cm and it must be kept in the home. You can't legally carry a pocket knife with a blade longer than 6cm (I think 8cm if it's a folding but not fixed blade) and even then, if stopped, you need to have a specific reason for carrying it around.

It was really weird to me, as someone who carried a pocket knife basically everywhere. I did learn, though, that "in case I need to open boxes" is a case that has come up like twice in 10 years.

As for guns here, handguns are not allowed at all. There are licenses for airguns (pellet guns), rifles, and shotguns. Separately, there are licenses for trapping and hunting that do grant some permissions outside of what I wrote above (hunting/trapping license but no gun license means you're going to be killing your catch with knife, spear, strangulation, drowning, or electrocution).

WoahWoah OP ,

Interesting. I will say, I use my pocket knife usually at least once a day for one thing or another. They’re surprisingly useful for all sorts of tasks.

Phoonzang ,

The permit requirement does not apply to kitchen knives, does it? Been some time, but I travelled to Tokio quite frequently for work, and always made it a point to go to kappabashi and get a nice cooking knife, some of the longer than 20 cm.

tiredofsametab ,

There's a tourist exemption, but the knives have to be packaged and legally can't be opened.

punkaccountant , to asklemmy in Have you been stolen from?

A coworker I didn’t particularly like, but we were able to work together fine, was leaving the job. On his last day…I came in to start my shift, he was ending his…we were the only two on staff (evening/nights job). I kept a box of ice cream sandwiches with my name on it in the work fridge for a mid-shift snack. Found out later in my shift that he ate the last one…put the wrapper in the box and left the box in the freezer. Not sure if it was personal or he was just a POS…but I was LIVID.

Definitely more of a “mildly infuriating” one…but it sticks with me.

nightofmichelinstars ,

Leaving the box and the empty wrapper? Definitely a statement. Malicious af.

cashmaggot OP ,

Okay, let me play devil's advocate here. I love my wifey very much. But she also is fucking terrible when it comes to some things. Like, I just had to come to terms with it, because she is just so fucking bad about this. She will eat something, like all of that something. Whatever that something is. And just put it back. Like - the trash of it, back. Where ever she got it from. Use up all the rice? The bag goes back. But she has been doing this to me for almost ten years. So like...I am just used to it. *And she's impulsive bc we're both ADHD so like...if she wants something it will be hers.

But anyways, she's also passive aggressive because I think she's from the land it's born in. Not my favorite thing, as an aggressive-aggressive human (=P) but I've just kinda like...come to terms with that too. That some people are just going to be out here expressing themselves like a rat that slunk away after taking a shit in your sandwich. But I also know I can rub folks a certain way and if they don't like me...eh. Probably the same thing, just done differently (as in I guess I'm actively taking shits in people's mouths instead =P). All things aside you might have rubbed this person the wrong way and they might have found this as the only way to "stick it to you" and get a little fuck you energy going before you left. But also could just be a real mindless dip who just saw something they wanted and went about it like a kid with their hand slammed into the cookie jar. So eh.

But I hope you went out afterwards and got yourself the fattest fucking treat known to man and did a little dance too.

People, people, people - if you're in a shared space and something isn't yours unless you've got explicit permission don't touch other people's shittttt! Someday there's gunna be a whole write up on these kinds of acts and there will be some medical terminology for it as we have to share spaces more and more as time goes on. (*Not just assholes and thieves or sandwich snookers)

punkaccountant ,

It was a while now at this point and I have wondered if there was some “he didn’t like me as much as I disliked him” energy. It does seem unlikely that it was unintentional since it’s not a home pantry where everything is yours and u can just be absent minded about it. We all grow and change…sometimes i think it sticks in my head more because I really wanna know the motivation more than anything else.

Thanks for your insight!

cashmaggot OP ,

Yeah no worries! It's a silly one to think on. There's def some life stuff in there. And like I said, some folks are impulsive putzes so maybe it all came down to them being stressed out -> looking for some instant gratification -> eat da sammich -> happy!

Hahahaha! I hope the rest of your day is chill =)

abcd , to programmerhumor in Anyone here use assembly?

IMHO assembly isn’t hard. When you gain enough experience you start to see „visual patterns“ in your code. For example jumping over some lines often equals to a if/else statement or jumping back is often a loop etc. Then you are able to skim code without the necessity to read each line.

The most difficult part is to keep track of the big picture because it is so verbose. Otherwise it’s a handful or two of instructions you use 90+% of the time.

I needed it often in the past in the PLC world but it is dying out slowly. Nonetheless, when I encounter 30+ year old software I’m happy to be able to get along. And your experience transitions to other architectures like changing from one higher language to another.

Nonetheless, if I’m able to choose, I’ll take Go. Please and thank you 😊

It’s a long time since I wrote any assembly in anger, but I don’t remember this being an issue. Back then Id be writing 2D and 3D graphics demos. Reasonably complex things, but the challenge was always getting it fast enought to keep the frame rate up, not code structure.

As you say, I think you just establish patterns to decompose the problem.

nexussapphire , to selfhosted in What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲)

The dankest depths of archlinux wiki. Written by a guy so far gone, so war harden by reading through source code and poorly written technical documentation, ancient forums, leaving no stone unturned. A task so twisted it drives most men crazy.

1% of arch users will ever need this wiki and few have gone through this Herculean task. For them, the first draft is enough, it’s all you can ask of a mind so twisted and broken. Alas it’s as unreadable as the source code and as hard to understand as the forum post from 2009.

Weighing in at 4.0MB, I present to you the SNES roguelike Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer (or Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Fuurai no Shiren).

https://minirevver.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/9/1/8691987/editor/shiren-the-wanderer-mystery-dungeon-2-english-patched-v1-00066.png

The original console "RPG you can play 1000 times". It's tough but fair. It stops just short of permadeath; dying sends you back to the start at level 1 with nothing, but you keep your side quest progress and any gear you had the foresight to send back to town before you died. Watch someone stream this sometime. It's turn-based, but the tension is like nothing else I've ever played.

I love me some Shiren the Wanderer

Railison , to linux in How to move from Windows to Linux?

This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:

Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.

I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.

Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.

Presi300 , to linux in Linux Gaming PC 2024 (with Coreboot-Support)?
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I’d strongly recommend against going Intel 13th gen, they’ve had a ton of stability issues and RMAs with 13th and 14th gen chips.

650W is probably gonna be fine, I’d get an 800W if possible, but 650W should be fine.

I’d say to ignore anyone saying “Nvidia is as good as AMD on linux”. Because while that can be true, it comes with a lot of asterisks.

*It can be as good and as stable as AMD if you use the very latest drivers and version of KDE plasma.

Unless you NEED cuda, I’d say avoid Nvidia for linux use…

    Yeah, this is just manufactured drama. The screenshots showing what preceded his comment show the whole thing to clearly be bait for the purpose of creating drama.

    goat ,

    Funny how when others are called transphobic, it’s all hands on deck, no taking a moment to reconsider the facts or the context.

    But for some reason, this particular example requires caution? If you know Desalines, or the lemmy devs themselves, you’ll know that transphobia is just the tip of the iceberg of their extremism. Have a look for yourself: !meanwhileongrad

    ArcaneSlime ,

    It’s quite possible those tankies are the very same people excusing his transphobia, they already simp for Castro and Che, who rounded up gay people and put them in “totally not death camps” for their “mandatory service” where they were starved and worked and beaten to death, and they totally excuse him for that, too.

    Yeah yeah, “later he said he was sorry he had all those gay people killed in concentration camps.” Uh huh.

    goat ,

    i mean they love stalin who genocided the Ukrainians. soo

    WanderingVentra ,

    Che wasn’t involved in those camps at all. And not only did Castro apologize, but ended up helping push some of the most liberal LGBTQ laws on the books in any country, including the US.

    You excuse the US for all sorts of stuff, I’m sure. Reagan ignored a pandemic, all your founders were slave owners, hell, your current President is helping with a genocide and I’ve seen people excuse that all over Lemmy.

    And for the record, even the tankie communities on Lemmy, like hexbear, disagree with nutomic’s comments.

    Quill7513 ,

    Bullshit. BULLSHIT. The context is “hey this tool helps keep trans people safe, any chance we can integrate it or make the platform work with it?” And the response was that its made up. Fucking. That’s not baiting. That’s a feature request
