I don't mean prerecorded sequences and videos (unless?), those are usually stable.

I'm talking about when a game shifts to an in-engine cutscene but there's still action going on and the scene breaks.

I've had this happen with some speaking sections in Fallout 4, but those are just barely cutscenes and doesn't really count... but it IS what inspired this topic.

There's some lore, plus the Horadrim in their prime; the founding of Tristram and so on and so forth...

Mostly I mean companion pieces like books, vids, official statements and such

I was just casually remembering The Naked Gun and how in the credits the extras who spoke were individually credited by the line they spoke

Anyone have one struck by lightning (again, hyperbole)

Real question is I wanna know what the lifespan of one of these is in the long long long term... I have like almost 100 year old 35mm slides that still look good

Ok, I'm looking to get some sort of precious metal and/or gemstone to have as a nice little desk ornament; the closest analogue I can think of is something like a Faberge egg

However, this is not what r/jewelry is for... so I'm looking for the alternative

just had a nice family dinner expecting Waldorf sized meals, but nay - they're HUUUUUGE!!!! We all ate and each still had a full take-out box leftover

Sobeys/Safeway used to have them, and then I could only find them at gas stations... but I haven't seen them in years; they were sooo tasty

The defensive archetype is typically big beefy hard rock/metal defensive bulwarks with no speed.

So, certainly there's gotta be a rare exception with a high-speed wall/tank, right? Perhaps they sacrifice even more attack or have a critical weakness to get that speed... and they use that speed for buffs/debuffs/or team cover type abilities (although in games like pokemon such defensive abilities usually have a priority flag so speed doesn't matter in the first place)

...

I'll give an obvious non-example, the Metal Slime. The Metal Slime is a defensive lord thanks to its high speed, but it's hardly a tank.

Here's the summary; I'm on Alberta handicapped allowance and I have a relatively (for people on AISH) large savings account getting close to $60k

However, if my total assets were are over $100k I don't think I get AISH benefits anymore, maybe, I'm not fully versed.

I'm a frugal ascetic person so it's relatively easy for me to save money and I am super grateful for AISH as it lets me exist, like, at all... so I don't want to potentially face an existential threat because I DON'T waste money... yaknow?

Like, what if I was at $99k in savings and I spent my entire AISH cheque on booze to give away to strangers just so my account doesn't go over, that's incredibly irresponsible.

So; I'm looking for something I could invest in or buy that I don't have to declare as an asset just by holding it... selling it, sure, naturally, I'm not trying to fraud anyone here I just don't know what I'm expected to do when I get to the asset cap other than, like I jokingly said, throw irresponsible money around just to stay under the limit.

Alternatively someone could assuage my fears that there is no actual asset cap and I can live as I am just fine.

I never once considered if the wheel can spin the other way, like for left handed players

I tried all the basic troubleshooting available to get the thing to launch in the first place and am on the publicbeta branch... and managed to get a whole new error

V_ERROR! "Could not find edge detect shader!!"

I need it to get Puzzle Pirates to work in Windows XP compatibility mode

Things I tried: I went to the Java page and checked legacy versions, but could only find x64 installers. I also googled what the latest 32bit installation is and the dumb googleAI said it's SE 24, but I didn't see a non x64 installation for that version either.

Alternate solutions: A way to force a specific javaw (in this case, Puzzle Pirates) into Windows XP compatibility mode... not sure why it isn't there to begin with, it only goes back to Windows Vista ever since updated to SE 26

Alternative Alternate solution: Figure out why it's crashing in the first place cuz IDK. Their Java version is 25.0.1.0 if applicable

I'm testing a hypothesis; in the Temple of the Art there is a background graphic of 3 masters holding orbs, and another background graphic of a broken master

I hypothesize there is a 5th statue... and I wanna find it; or if it's already been found, screencap for analysis.

What even is this game?

It's a first person party based dungeon crawler and... that's all I know. I had it as a kid, only recently discovered it was never released here and retrospectively realize I had a bootleg multicart.

You can get various weapons and armour to dress up your dudes, but I never really figured out what's what. I had no idea what the goal was, what the equipment did (in a more statistically precise meaning) or how combat worked (aside from floating gavel = damage)

...and I hated it

It's not on my worst games on the NES list, but it is probably the worst game on the list that can be gatekeepingly referred to as a 'real game'

...

Now, I know full well I could watch a walkthrough or a speedrun or read a gamefaq on it... but I just wanted to see what other people thought about this weird-ass game

Please be healthy

I'm mostly referring to item drops in games with RPG mechanics.

Based on unmodded/uncheated gameplay of course.

Things I'm NOT counting tho are stuff like perfect rolls; for example if a Diablo style game had an item with 12 modifiers on it and each modifier had a 1 in a million chance to be the right one and and a 1 in a million chance to be at max value... that is certainly absurdly rare, but it's not what I'm talking about.

Things I am talking about are stuff like the Sealed J-Sword from Phantasy Star Online which not only has a low drop chance, it's from a very uncommon enemy and you have to meet special conditions to even be allowed to see it (Be a Skyly ID, if you know)

I'm also excluding stuff that is developer or event driven, such as certain wholly unique event items or moderator/GM exclusives that were gifted and such... it has to be something that one of y'alls could go and go legitimately farm right now (assuming the game is still playable)
