And if you do have a shitty world, make sure the fast travel is actually fast.

Looking at you, Starfield.

Same.

But that’s why good fast travel is important. Once you’ve seen the world, you can skip the stuff you’ve already done.

With nextcloud in particular, nextcloud is not just nextcloud.

It’s a bunch of additional optional services that may or may not work as-is on Synology. And the Synology package won’t come with all of them.

With docker, adding (or removing) additional services, such as Nextcloud Office, is comparatively simple.

I use this one professionally, yet to come across a PC that wouldn’t boot from it.

And yeah, you won’t benefit unless the PC also has both fast ports and fast storage.

But half of the time I’m using it to move files from a customers old PC to their new one, and more aften than not, even the old one has at least one quick usb C port.

Sure.

But that’s limited to SATA 3 speeds. A “mere” 600 MB/s. Not to mention SATA SSDs often can’t sustain their theoretical maximums.

USB3.2x2 can do 2500 MB/s, and with heatsinks on an NVME drive you can actually reach and sustain that transfer speed.

When you’re moving more than 500 gigs of something, or if you move ISO sized things often, it’s really nice.

When I occasionally have to write an ISO to usb for macOS or when ventoy for some reason wont work, I get annoyed at how I actually have to wait a bit, even though my thumbdrives aren’t slow.

They’re just not NVME with a heatsink fast. I’ve gotten used to moving ISOs around like they’re text files.

True. But if you have an old one laying around, from a laptop, desktop or whatever, even a low end one will saturate usb while beating 2.5" hdds.

Or if you want to install an entire iso in less than a minute, one of these.

I really like that one. I can move a terabyte in minutes, and unlike some other M.2 enclosures, this one is a heatsink sandwich, which enables sustained full-speed operation.

Not at random.

But you can definitley find people looking to play via the community, but you won’t have much luck just jumping into online.

Game is still getting updates.

That definitely looks fat.

Normally, the middle should be the thinnest part of the body, with the soulders and hips being the widest. A healthy cat can squeeze through any gap their head can fit through, but your boy looks like that abdomen would stop him.

AFAIK, a cat should seem a little skinny by human logic. A vet can tell you more about how to tell, like how you’re supposed to be able to clearly feel the ribs.

If your boy is visibly round, that’s not muscle. A healthy cat is a straight line, or even slightly hourglass shaped.

To be sure, ask a vet. Cats are individuals, so it can vary.

FTL is linux native. Last I checked works fine.

Here’s my list of currently installed below 10 gigs:

• 20 Minutes Till Dawn - 128 MB
• Katana Zero - 220 MB
• Donut County - 310 MB
• Mini Metro - 325 MB
• Hyperlight Drifter - 510 MB
• Yes, Your Grace - 740 MB
• Motorslice Demo - 960 MB
• Battle Chef - 1.3 GB
• Tunic - 1.7 GB
• SEKTORI - 2.7 GB
• Deaths Door - 3.6 GB
• BallisticNG - 4.5 GB
• Ruiner - 10.61 GB (Just a tad over 10, but such a good game for Deck)

I’m not sure on the answer myself, but you did get one thing wrong.

Even the oldest, sickest pet will still make an effort to keep themselves alive however they can: eating, drinking water, moving out of the way of danger, etc.

No, they won’t.

Plenty of illnesses cause apathy, dehydration, or loss of appetite.

Causes vary from pain so intense moving is unbearable, or nausea so severe food is inedible. It can be mental, physical, easily treated, or incurable and eventually lethal.

Either way, pets can and absolutely do choose inaction when miserable enough.

ZoneMinder?

Or adding microtransactions to a single player game.

Or considering any franchise with an entry that has lost money dead and gone, as if it didn’t still sell millions. Like, just budget the next one to fit the demand?

Or their total allergy to doing anything actually new. They keep shedding IPs yet only ever back existing franchises.

Or spending almost as much on marketing as development, as if you can just force people to be interested in a sequel for a game they didn’t play or a genre they don’t enjoy.

I don’t know how Squenix games can be so full of developer passion with execs this braindead.

And what the fuck does 3D Investment mean their publishing is a loss? NO SHIT. THAT’S HOW YOU FIND THE NEW FRANCHISES.

VCs, as shitty as they are, at least get that backing 30 small projects makes sense because that improves your chances of being on board with the one that blows up big enough to pay for the rest.

3D Investment blames this on the underperformance of Square Enix’s console and mobile game sectors

No.

as well as exceptionally large write-downs related to cancelled games.

Yes.

Interestingly, they also consider the company’s arcade and publishing sectors to be “non-synergistic” businesses that are ultimately pulling down the company’s value with lackluster performance.

Fuck no.

Squenix’s problem is that they keep going too big. They are trying to be a Sony or Nintendo, when they’re really more of a Devolver. They have franchises with big fanbases, but they’re trying to force their games to become COD levels of HUGE by just increasing the budget. And when the return doesn’t keep up with investment, they keep missing the point.

It happened with Tomb Raider. It happened with Deus Ex. And it’s happening with Final Fantasy. The games do have passionate fans, but they simply aren’t for everyone. And that’s not a bad thing.

What Squenix refuses to accept, is that they’ve hit a growth ceiling they can’t break through by spending more. But instead of growing wider by diversifying with new IPs or more titles at more reasonable budgets, they keep trying to focus on their latest big thing and grow it taller and heavier than it can support.

Then you are guilty of the same thing. The above is a retort to the idea that my side has any relation to authoritarian thinking. It’s not based on my assumptions around your reasoning, but literally a point you just tried to make.

There are legitimate reasons to give a creature the opportunity to learn to fend for itself and as such expose it to the risks of doing so. Children who must one day become independent adults. Animals to be re-wilded and released back into nature.

Neither, nor any other that I’m aware of, apply to domestic pets.

I am perfectly willing to consider your mindset. My very first sentence is a question requesting you elaborate on what exactly it is you gain by trading in the safety of your cat. Because you don’t actually mention what that is.

Listing five preventably dead cats I personally knew is over the top?

Why is taking the risk important?

You are not re-wilding an animal that’s gotten used to being in a zoo, in order to restore an endangered species.

You are releasing a domestic pet into an uncontrolled environment.

Why is it important to do that? And why does this importance only apply to cats?

Worth it to gain what?

You are not re-wilding an animal that’s gotten used to being in a zoo.

Your logic is like overfeeding a pet because it likes the food enough to keep eating it.

Your cat is not a toddler that will one day need to be a functioning member of society. You can and should make decisions that ensure its safety in exchange for its freedoms.

It’s the same reasoning behind why you don’t let a child hit the town until they’re old enough. The difference, is that a cat is never “old enough”. It’s a pet.

Parasites. Disease. Pest traps. Poisons. Traffic. Dangerous climbs. Other cats. People.

I know someone who had three cats get run over before they learned to keep them inside. They live on an island in the finnish archipelago that barely even has roads let alone traffic.

Another friend lost two cats to a neighbour who fed them poisoned chicken.

Go on. Tell me there’s zero risk.
