DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago to patientgamers in I Completed my First Final Fantasy game!

which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster

Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They’re just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

I’d recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

FF3 is… okay. It introduces the character class system, which you’ll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.

Yes, but also there are many adult children for whom the same applies.

There, I’ve simplified it.

Apologies, didn’t see the “Create Community” button up top like I’m used to on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, etc. And I’m browsing from old.lemmy.world most of the time anyway. :P

OP, go be the change you want to see and create the communities for the movies & shows you want.

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago to moviesandtv in Dedicated Lemmy Instance for movies and tv series

I do understand what you’re saying - specific communities for different movies & shows. What I didn’t realize is that lemmy.film doesn’t allow community creation. If they did, that would allow people to create communities just like you’re saying.

I don’t know of any other film-centric instances, but try searching here I suppose: lemmyverse.net

I am so confused… this is being posted to lemmy.film. That’s like walking into a 7-Eleven and asking if there’s some place where you can buy a flavored ice drink.

As someone currently watching Mister Roger’s Neighborhood with my 2yo and having just completed TNG and started DS9 with my 9yo, this is fantastic.

I’d say it’s more that computers only enabled the opportunity for humans to invent the security problems that other humans now have to counter with better computer and human solutions.

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago) to technology in The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free?

Yeah, sure, bringing things back on prem where 90% of organizations do not have comparable resources in-house to manage and secure them, as opposed to leveraging a cloud provider and properly maintaining the shared responsibility model is going to “set us free”.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago to news in Conservatives have already written a climate plan for Trump's second term

Is it “do nothing and continue to pretend everything’s fine while taking huge amounts of money from the fossil fuel lobbyists”? Because I bet that’s the plan.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in Why do Americans answer the phone with "Gopher"?

Pretty sure it’s an old businessman thing. “Go for (my name)!” in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.

Ah, well, “designed to run over the internet”. Okay then. I guess no ISP has ever been able to MitM intercept traffic.
