What is a good way to level up Justice in U4?

I mean I know the basics of not letting evil creatures run away, and avoiding killing non-evil creatures, even meditated on the shrine to see if I could get some tips, but I've been really struggling to level up that particular virtue for some reason.

The seer always say that I do seem like a just person, but I still need to strive to uphold justice even further.

To make matters worse, of the only virtue left that I am leveled enough to be able to meditate on is Humility, which I heard it's best left for last.

(Yes that means I need to level up Honesty as well, but right now I only want tips for Justice since I'm trying to avoid spoilers as much as possible here)

Any tips?

I've never played Underworld, yet I can already tell me that this screenshot will haunt me for the rest of my life

Been replaying GT4 on Spec II recently

Basically title, I like many of the changes, and I like the track and prize car randomizers, tho I do find some of the restrictions in some events more strict than before, to the point where it took a few tries before I got a car that could enter the Sunday Cup.

I'm not sure if the handling is better or if I'm better as a player, but the cars do feel much easier to drive in general.

I also noticed that the GTWC has been moved into the extreme league? Which to me sounds like a pretty good idea, hopefully there will be a few more events involving LMP cars before I have to tackle it, since that was a pretty big problem in GT4 where the only exposure I got to LMPs was the final test of the IA license. I guess I could have done the Super License as well to see if they use LMPs as well, but the S license was not required for the GTWC so.. you know...

Speaking of LMP's, I dunno which one I'll use this time, last time I used the Playstation Pescarolo, but I dunno this time, I am using the prize car randomizer, so I could end up just getting a LMP from some completely random event, but other than that, I guess I could just buy the Toyota GT-One that is for sale there. (Even if I think the MINOLTA looks a lot cooler)

Also love the cockpit cameras, even if some of them look VERY pixelated... that extra bit of immersion is always welcome. Speaking of cameras, is there a way to change the default camera, so that I don't have to keep cycling through every camera mode till I reach the cockpit camera at the start of every race?

Back to Japanese Immersion with my favorite FF game that I never played before

Found best girl, yay!

Hello Valef.... Valfarre? Valfarei? Vallfarey? somebody help, lol

I'm a bad man apparently

Using PS2 emulator because it's easier to look up Japanese words on PC, and also because I hate the HD Remaster models.

Lulu's Japanese voice definitely sounds a lot less... mean than the US version, even when scolding Wakka, she sounds way more concerned than pissed off.

As the alt text implies, Valefor's (I think that's their US name?) name is a bit different in Japanese, pronounced as something like "Baarufare" or something like that, not sure how one would write this in Romaji.

And of course being reminded of the odd localization differences, like the fact that the term Aeon is an invention of the US localization, where the Japanese Original opts for the more generic "Summoned Beast" term. And other slight differences on pronounciations.

Also funny how despite growing up watching playthroughs of this game, and watching constant streams of people speedrunning this game, I still managed to get lost in the Besaid Shrine for a few minutes lol.

any good short games or short media in general for immersion?

Basically title, I struggle to finish games even in English lately, so for Japanese, I'll probably want something that I can beat relatively quickly, you know, for a "quick and easy win (well, as quick and easy as you can get with Japanese immersion, which is probably still very slow and hard lol)"

Finally finished my Yuna pixel art, it's not perfect, but I do consider it a massive upgrade when compared to that one I made of Tifa with the weirdly small legs.

Somehow managed to get to stage 5 on one credit, despite having no practice to anything beyond stage 3, and struggling with bosses lol.

Tho I quickly game overed there, and needed two credits to finish the run.

Regardless of how wonky this drawing is, I'm gonna finish it, that being said, I would love to hear some feedback on the drawing so far.

PS: Shading hair is hard, it took me many iterations today to land on this, but I think it's pretty cute, tho there are probably ways to make ti better, or at least cleaner.

Tho I confess that once I finally finish this one, I'm taking a loooooooong break from pixel art...

As in such an auto pilot reseting runs today, that I was wondering why did the scoring system suddenly became different and enemy patterns suddenly became much harder than normal, and then I looked at the top of the screen, and realized what I just have done, lmao.

I don't understand, when did I chose maniac mode? I swear I clicked on original, it's literally the top option, lmao!

What are the most beginner friendly CAVE/CAVE-like Shmups out there?

Basically just thinking of trying to get a bullet hell fix that isn't Touhou on the side while I try (and fail miserably) to clear Cho Ren Sha 68k and Gradius 2. I've played a bit of Dodonpachi, Ketsui, and Mushihimesama in the past, but never cleared either, and I did 1cc a few games in the past, but not much in the Bullet Hell side... well, at least not full on Bullet Hell, since I consider Flame Zapper Kotsujin to be more of a proto-bullet hell..

Linux Mint only sees 8 of my 16 gbs of Ram

Basically title, it's also inconsistent too, sometimes if I reboot a few times I can get it to register all 16 gbs. The 16 gbs also show up in BIOS every time, and I already tried to remove the ram sticks and put them back on to see if that helps, and I'm still getting the same result. Can anyone help?

Been trying to learn some fundamentals so I can draw pixel art characters with more realistic proportions in cooler poses, here's a study I made using Yuna from FFX as reference.

I'm sure I got a lot of things fundamentally wrong here, and I'm still not sure what's the best way to construct bodies, specially in more difficult angles, but I still wanted to try what I've been learning on a sketch.

PS: Her left arm was so hard to do due to it being partially obscured by the head. Also if anyone has good suggestions on how to construct more distorted poses, from weirder/more awkward angles, I'd really love to know. Same for hair, I've been struggling with hair lately, regardless if I'm doing pixel art or not.
