  • The US needs to build 2 million houses to revive the American dream of homeownership
  • "The US needs to reclaim 2 million houses from firms to revive the American dream of homeownership"

    Fixed. The housing exists, it's just bought up so you can't have it because they want more profit.

    Also fck HOAs and the horse they road in in.

  • DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake – Release Date Nov14th
  • I'm waiting as well. I expect there will likely be a bundle deal when all 3 are on steam. And $70 $60* is too steep, even for my fave game of all time (has been since 1988 nes release) that I collect every remake for like some kind of crack addict.

    *Seems it dropped 10 already, they must have heard complaints

  • Need to get to get the money out of politics. Theres so much corruption finding the starting point is dounting but I think a good start is heavy participation in getting rid of our worst senators and maybe making a real chance at undoing the damage of all the legalized bribery. Then maybe, just maybe, we can start to make real change happen.

  • Why would she tweet that?! We're so effed...
  • Vote for 100% hitler or 90% hitler, or don't vote and actually get double hitler. What a system 'murica has.

  • Git gud
  • Speaking from experience giving the loudest users real time access to your sanity isn't great either. Better to corral them into a slower mode of communication, such as an old fashion forum or use githubs "discussions" feature. Then you can spend your weekend on unwinding without a bunch of kids screeching that they've been ignored because you missed some message that was checks notes 200 paragraphs of back scrolling.

    p.s. its 1000x worse when you inherit this kind of "community" from someone before you who let the monkeys do whatever. All I can say is thank god discord has that slow-mode feature now.

  • Your personal favorite Dragon Quest and why
  • (Edit: ummm sorry wall of text ish here)

    For me Dragon Quest 3 is my favorite not only out of dragon quest but my favorite game ever. I Got every remake of it and love them also, but the NES version has a special spot in my brain. It got me addicted to grinding class changes. While you can farm seeds to get every stats to maximum if you really want, there's an arguably shorter path in that you can take advantage of the class change systems quirks. This would mean maxing out some stats at half their potential, but that is still a lot less time using seeds if you want to cap out everything.

    My cat had died just before my birthday, I was real depressed for weeks. I'd been renting games on fridays to keep occupied on weekends (this was late 80's/early 90's, rentals were still a thing). School kept me busy the rest of the week but I'd spend my whole weekend gaming. My mother noticed I was spending almost all my money on one in particular and knew I was super down coz of the cat, so she surprised me by pre paying 3 weeks worth of it. She'd later realize she could have bought it outright but that's a whole other story. That game was Dragon Quest 3.

    So I beat Zoma. I was now able to remove the Hero from the party. "Could I create a character more powerful than the Hero class?" I wondered... The Soldier(Warrior) gets pretty good weaponry even if I can't equip the specialize hero's gear. The Hero can't class change, so he can't gain the extra spells from Pilgrim(priest) and Wizard.

    I could take the spell casting classes up to get all their spells easy enough, but each class change divides their max MP in half, and the other classes don't gain any MP at level up. I could start with a Fighter for high agility, but once I switch to Soldier I won't be getting much. At most I would get 1 per level up and even that would take a lot of save scumming (this is because the game reduces stats growth when a stat is already high for your level). So I was going to have to plan carefully, learn form mistakes along the way and re-level some of the same classes twice to get my stats balanced out.

    Along the way I learned this version of the game had some bugs I could both get bitten in the rear by (happened) and also exploit (also happened!) In particular I found out if I had high INT it didn't want to cough up any good max MP gains. But if I had low INT and then my level up gave me a bunch of it, that usually also came with a big dose of Max MP. That told me hold off on using int seeds later for sure. in fact I resolved to not use any seeds until I was both on my final class and had pushed it as far as I could by leveling alone.

    The end result: a soldier with 255 strength 141 agility 255 vitality 139 intelligence and 180 luck, with a max HP of over 600 and a max mp of 299. Without using any seeds. And I had all the non hero specific spells. A Thors sword, swordedge armor, Silver shield, and Giants helmet. And a meteorite armband capped out the agility. Not to shabby. It was now time to cash in those seeds, and start farming more OOOORRRRR I could make 3 more like him. Insert evil laughter. I never did get around to maxing everything out with seeds, but I did get a fighter and a 2nd soldier crazy statted like this. The fighter was able to 255 strength agility and vitality, at the cost of not having such nice equipment. And a sage (hung onto that book forever!) that came pretty close.

    I hope whoever rented that cart after me took a good look at that save file before wiping it, and if not I hope you are reading this :P

    Thor(soldier) Aaron (fighter) I forget the sages name but the hero would have been Ace

    Reddit started blocking VPN users on old.reddit.com
  • Fck reddit. We have lemmy. Let reddit rot.

  • Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions
  • GOOD.

    Publisher deserves it for this bs.

    There is a reason the things being microtran'd are silly too: to try and ease the player into the idea of these being normal and ok. Sure you can get itemX an hour into the game. This time.

  • What are developers in different languages known as?
  • Usually some excuse about being more accessible from someone that just doesn't want to leave their own comfort zone - non professionals playing at being professional after coming across our github. See also: complaints about not having an installer download (strictly clone and build)

  • What are developers in different languages known as?
  • C#itheads - those are the guys that show up to the emulation project I work on insisting we would drastically improve by nuclear rewriting millions of lines of code into c# (or another language occasionaly).

    It's a 20ish yrs old c++ program, we're never doing it but someone will show up trying to push the topic every couple of months.

  • Well finally, we (may) get a version of DXQX

    Anyone else randomly get an itch to play as Taloon/Torneko ?

    Once in a while I fire up my NES cart of Dragon Warrior 4 just to replay chapter 3. Chapter 2 is pretty good as well, but 3 keeps me coming back.
