I swear I've crossed entire levels and found nothing...

An im-pasta.

The new dwarf is mostly just a pain to control on mobile. The weapons have been fine, though I haven't unlocked all of them. None are especially impressive, though I do like the sawblade launcher. I still haven't gotten perfect gear drops, so I'm still playing, I'm just wondering if I've missed something about the expansion content.

Jesus Christ, I wasn't expecting that! Just about died laughing.

This has been the most abysmal computer upgrade cycle of my life. "Get a new CPU/mobo/RAM," they said. "Prices will only go up," they said. Well, $900 later, I have new hardware that can't perform the very basic functions my old stuff did, and I have yet to see any sort of improvement in games because I'm running constant tech support.

Currently using Linux Mint, but this happens in Windows 11 as well: out of the box, the mobo was on revision F5, and both monitors worked, but the ethernet (hardwired to the router, worked perfectly up until this) would randomly cut out and then never return. It would also only sometimes function after a reboot.

After a lot of googling, I downloaded the F10 revision and flashed the bios, and now my second monitor will not turn on. More googling, I turned on CSM, and that made the old monitor on HDMI turn on, but my bigger (newer) monitor on DP did not turn on. This happens whether things are plugged into my graphics card (3080) or the motherboard itself.

What is happening and how is computer hardware so bad now?

Edit: for the record, TPM, secure boot, and CSM are all off by default.

Total of four with one on Lufti, but I use him as full debuff support, so I don't know if that's best used on him or someone else. I know other characters have been mentioned as that weapon being BIS, but I forget who.

Ideally not a roguelike game, since I know and have played plenty that allow you to get insane combos. I'm talking about games where you can equip items or mods that change how your weapons or attacks function and can become pretty insane. A couple contemporary examples would be Adventures of Elliot (magicite can change the behavior of your weapons) and Clockwork Ambrosia, which lets you equip mods to your guns to do wacky things.

I inherited a fully grown (overgrown) avocado tree. Aside from keeping it topped off every other year (it's as tall as the house) what's the best policy for keeping it trimmed? What should I avoid doing?

I ordered a pie shield but it's the wrong size. Amazon says it doesn't qualify for a return. So I'm just stuck with it? It's still in the package, and it doesn't really fit any of the items they list as non-refundable.

For context, we live in California (fucking PG&E) and we got a new A/C and furnace only two years ago. Our electric bill last winter was way higher than two years ago, and according to the breakdown, 2/3rds of that was natural gas from heating. We've got a two story house and an existing gas fireplace, so a PG&E tech recommended we get a fireplace insert.

Cut to today, the model that we're being recommended by the fireplace store is a total of about $4500 with tax, plus another 1k to install. Now, we have a voucher from a local program cutting that down to about 3k out of pocket.

However, is a gas insert with a fan really going to cut down on my gas usage? We mainly hang out in the same room as the fireplace, but I know it's not necessarily going to heat up the whole house (like the upstairs bedrooms). We do have a two zone AC system, if that matters.

For reference, my kid has been playing through the game and has been more focused on the main story than any side content or exploration. Void seems to do two and a half hearts per hit, so three hits and that's it, dead.

Edit: I accidentally beat the fight for him. I was expecting to just try it out and ended up winning (I thought there would be another phase!)

I've got one codex left (I guess two, I haven't finished the new proof of strength) and most of my existing characters either have a good tarot or they're not in active use most of the time.

We just finished the New Year's special a couple days after finishing the series proper. I personally thought it was good, and I appreciated that they had a more realistic portrayal of pregnancy (including the icky parts) than what usually gets shown on American TV. Granted, I could have done without the Covid storyline (not because it was bad, but because it was triggering...) The series itself was very fun, not perfect, but quite enjoyable and I identified with Hiramasa as the introverted nerd who somehow gets picked up by a beautiful woman who breaks through his walls and pulls him out of bachelorhood. My wife really enjoyed the main series, but after watching the New Year's special, well...the following is her righteous rant of romance rejected.

I thought the storyline between Yuri and Kazami at the end of season 1 was so sweet, but I was annoyed that they never properly kissed. At the beginning of the New Year's special, their relationship was written off so abruptly, and I never got to learn what their relationship was like. I got bored during the pandemic sequence, because ultimately I knew the other couples would be fine, but Yuri and Kazami were the only couple with stakes. Kazami even said in the car with Hiramasa, "I'm just meant to be alone," and I was hoping he would be paired off in the end or his story would have some kind of closure. The special leaves us hanging when we find out he broke up with his girlfriend for the same reasons Yuri broke up with him. There's a hint the relationship could work, and they're so cute together. It's also frustrating because Yuri gets cancer and Kazami learns about it on-screen or indicates he knows. He should have been there for her during her surgery, just like Smith Jared and Samantha in Sex and the City. I wanted so much more of them, and they were frustratingly sidelined. We learned more about Yuri's classmate and the bartender than the relationship that had so much tension and chemistry in the first season. That was frustrating.

And that's it. Anyone else had the same impression of the New Year's special? Also, she's requesting someone write a tasteful fanfic of Kazami and Yuri getting back together and finding happiness.

I know in Souls games you can't except at a save point, except this game doesn't restore them when I hit the save point, only when I die. I'm certain I missed something, though.

Just curious since I'll likely get the game at some point, but it's only got three story paths, correct? Are they each really lengthy compared to the stories in OT1 and 2, or do you spend a lot of time on sidequests and town building, or what? I see people saying they spend 120-150 hours on this game, which is basically one Xenoblade.

I see folks posting their crest combinations (which I can't imitate yet because I haven't gotten to the epilogue) and some folks give Jean a second hunter's crest. How? Every bit of information I can scrape from the internet says there's only one in the game. Is it another post game item?
