What rom hack did you play? I’ve been meaning to do another playthrough and I’m not impressed enough with pixel remaster to buy that.

I’m really happy they pulled it forward. Can’t wait to dig in myself. I played a bit of it, but shelved it to keep it fresh for full release. What class did you have the most fun with during EA?

Link Between Worlds and the Links Awakening remake count, though. If you haven’t checked those out they are both great.

Hear hear. The steam deck is making me appreciate that the most. I initially hoped cross-platform saves would work for games on the Switch and PC, but I don’t think I’ve seen a single game where that works. It’s part of the reason the Deck has replaced the Switch for me. Steam cloud saving is usually flawless between Deck/PC.

The downside of true cross-platform is that it requires server side saving. Which usually means another launcher and multiplayer/GAAS BS. Diablo is no exception.

Speaking of “legendary”, he played literal Satan in the movie Legend. Huge fucking horns and everything. Also RHPS of course. Truly a legend. Too bad about his stroke, but he’s still voice acting!

The wafer equipment market has more US roots than the fab market, as many tools are designed here (even if built in Asia). Their supply chains are different than TSMC/Samsung and less localized to “home country only”. Also, TSMC was bringing their supply chain with them for AZ.

Two points:

1. It’s the fiscally responsible thing for these pension funds to do. They have diversified investments, including S&P500 stocks. I hope the police and firefighter pension realized all those TSLA gains.
2. Institutional investors have POWER, and we don’t want all institutional investors to be investment banks. Why isn’t it good news that a union pension fund is holding a greedy board accountable for outsized executive pay? These guys saw a material impact in their investments at TSLA due to board BS and sued the board.

Generally yes. I played for a few hours then stopped as I wanted to keep it fresh for release…but what I did play was definitely fun. I’m excited they pulled the release ahead of starfield.

When the government is expected to provide such generous benefits (half his salary in Spain, per the article) it seems that something has to change. It’s even good that some people are working past that age, and continuing to pay into it for others. It seems inappropriate to ask the people who are depending on the pension to reduce benefits or pay more- why not ask more of the true beneficiaries of their labor?

My US-centric view is less rosy, as we get WAY less in pension and limited healthcare…all the while there are literal billionaires who pay no taxes. Keep the benefits, tax the rich.
