one thing i wanna do when kitsune tails is out and i can take some time off is replay final fantasy X but i can't decide if i wanna play the PS2 version or the PC version

SirTapTap ,
@SirTapTap@mastodon.social avatar

@eniko For better or worse, the HD version has all the "international" stuff, mostly avoidable but certain areas are blocked by superbosses which is kind of annoying

Does look great though and IIRC most superbosses are just about the right Mix + damage spam

@eniko Oh, dunno I played the PS3 one and haven't re-started it since getting it on steam

I do remember it didn't resume area music after a random encounter, so it starts from the beginning of the loop over and over. I dunno if squeen fixed it though. They're very...unpredictable

Cooking question:

Just found out about these "electric wood pellet" grills. I have ptsd from fire so propane is out, even charcoal I'm a bit iffy on, this seems like a nice balance of taste, grill marks (oddly important), and ease...I hope?

Never heard of 'em before so I have no idea if there are gotchas

Anyone know a real human I can talk to at ? Their contentID dispute UI is a blatant lie (yes, you CAN get a copyright strike even if you only dispute, and Japanese companies will almost always do that)

I either want the strike gone or the working fixed, you can't just have your fucking UI lie to people.

My hottest (mild) / take:

If you're screaming at random people to use CWs and not even using the Filter feature, you are in fact the asshole.

Much easier to edit your environment to your tastes than to edit your environment (I think there's a greek guy who was doomed to do that)

The mute page is pretty in depth too, preferences > Filters

You can add YOUR OWN CWs to everything that matches, hide it, time limits, unlimited words, allow notifs not TL, the works.

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

i really like the weight and feel and accuracy of logitech G pro mouse but jesus fucking christ why dont they make these in a way where the left click doesn't die every 1-1.5 years?

EDIT: tbh this is one of the rare occasions that i wouldn't mind suggestions for alternatives. just, don't recommend shit that is significantly heavier or a different form factor from a bog standard office mouse, thats why i like the G pro

SirTapTap ,
@SirTapTap@mastodon.social avatar

@eniko my G500 was lovely but yeah, left click died. You can apparently replace the switch yourself but I haven't bothered yet personally. Logi cheaps out it sounds like

SirTapTap ,
@SirTapTap@mastodon.social avatar

@eniko They're lucky no one else makes the 3 thumb button style I like...then again, they don't make it either anymore...I did get a newer one, but I should probably just replace the switch some day. I just hate opening things like that up. Broke 2 PS3 controllers and almost lost a PS4 one

Everyone complained about the non-reversable cords, but the best thing about USB C-by-default is no more "haha oops you used the wrong power cord and your device is now melted :)))))))"

Why was there not at LEAST some kind of "different amps, different sizes" standard. PC power connector should be the only one left

I actually much prefer the "American" definition of Liberal (to mean, more or less, progressive) to the classical/European definition.

I understand the historical context but, especially when one party is calling themselves "Conservatives", it's kind of screwed up for "Liberal" to mean "Conservative" as well

question: De-smellifying trash cans, specifically ones exclusively for litterbox waste?

I got some really good tight-sealing trash cans that control the smell very well, except they're SO well sealed that the inside is like...nuclear. Tried spraying one down on the inside with some Method cleaner and didn't seem to matter much. Airing it out with the windows open, also limited effect.

Imagine how fucking scary meeting Gordon Freeman must be in Half Life 1

Like every other scientist but you is a pacifist, then they see Gordon turn the corner, covered head to toe in 6 kinds of alien and human blood, high off his ass on morphine and adrenaline, carting like 5 different guns and 3 top secret government projects on his back.

And he leaves without saying a single word.

(just fyi it auto detects by default)

@eniko I always appreciate that for controller (showing Xbox/PS/nintendo prompts), makes sense for keyboard...though I have a qwerty so 99% of games are designed for that by default
