    Yes to Terrik, and IIRC PS2 as well (since in PS3, you make "virtual" save cards for those systems) Gamecube had one too.

    Right, but if you've gone fully digital, and then bring a 2nd device in, then you're pretty much in an "oh fuck" situation, that's what I'm getting at.

    Video Game News and Miscellany

    I don't have a problem with needing multiple copies for simultaneous play, but I DO have a bit of a problem with no concept of "family ownership" of games. For example, if in the Game Boy era, you were FORCED to have cartridges of everything, but "ownership" was communal. With a few exceptions...

    Video Game News and Miscellany

    Because we only have 1 device, I had a question: what happens if you have multiple devices? Aside from cloud saves (which may or may not be a thing, not important to the question), can you "log in" to your Nintendo account on both devices, and play in either spot? Or are you "locked" to one...

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    ??? HCA is kinda well-known, and made fables (or wrote them down, I dunno) for where he lived. I was making the point that the specific Disney Movie is based (loosely) on a specific tale by a specific author, in which it's definitely Scandanavian. I was never stating or implying that mermaids...

    Build your own computer guide

    This is a pretty decent rundown of the basic architecture, and how it's different than prior generations. Short answer: chiplets: https://techreport.com/review/34672/amd-ryzen-7-3700x-and-ryzen-9-3900x-cpus-reviewed/ This also corroborates the point from earlier about number of PCIe 4.0...

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    I don't care about the race thing (doesn't matter which image), but it's actually quite region-specific: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid And the mermaid in Copenhagen harbor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_(statue) It's as "Nordic" as Frozen (which is also...

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    Oh and if you need to level gatherers (and presumably crafters) remember your weekly custom deliveries, as well as the new "role-based" deliveries. Mad exp from both of those things. New leves work decently well too, but nothing like the custom deliveries. Those are just insane for low...

    The Tech Random Crap Thread

    And if an "informed" observer can't tell the difference between that and the one connected via a wire (in a blind test of course, with many participants), you know the whole "rich, warm sounds of analog audio" are complete bullshit.

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    And if you were rail-thin, it could be taken the other way in that they could be wondering if you've gotten enough. Before your final line, that's what I thought she was saying to you. Dude, don't blame her for your projecting.

    [Announcement] Switching Hosts. Again.

    Re-starting Chrome solved my problem. So probably just the "bypass" done when things were moving.

    Random Video Game Crap

    One of my most memorable is the end of the Trial of the King sequence in Chrono Trigger. When Marle and her Dad reconcile, with Manoria Cathedral playing in the background. After all the crap they'd put each other through in the game, how they work it out then. For some reason those sprites...

    [Announcement] Switching Hosts. Again.

    I'm in Chrome here, so presumably "normally" up-to-date. I'll have to check at home.

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    After a long weekend and an evening: level 77, about to go into the 4th dungeon. Impressions so far: Wow is Summoner different. Like a LOT different. Still fun, but very different. A lot of "management" of your pet's cooldowns. I was always somebody who had the pet on "automatic" so I...

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    I've had that problem. One time I ordered I don't even remember what kind, and I said "just a little bit of mayo" and they proceed to grab that bottle like it needs it's neck wrung and give me more mayo than anything else on the sandwich across THREE FUCKING SWIPES. Meanwhile, the next person...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    @Frank, while I don't support the "we'll flee the legislature to stop bills from passing" thing, it's also somewhat weird and smacks of "not democracies" where the police are sent to forcibly compel legislators to sit where they're commanded to, at the command of the governor. I guess that's...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    I agree that Straw Man usually is deliberate misrepresentation, but I don't think it needs to be. When people disagree, it's easy to put your own impression of the other side down, rather than respond to what they actually say. You're putting down what you heard. Still a straw man IMO, but...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    I'll just re-post this since apparently you didn't read it: And Mind: Asking for more government funding and then getting a bunch of private individuals to try and give you money (and processing 10,000 donations of $20 is FAR different than one of $200,000) are two very different things to...
