They are different enough in intention though.

I intend - I plan to try, but I might not.

I will - I am definitely going to, but maybe not very often or for limited uses

I will frequently - I am definitely going to, and it will be a common/important part of my work/life-flow

Yeah interestingly this was one of the only places that English versions of the Sailor Moon movies from the 90s series.

Haha same, because yellow and orange and two of the common ones. I could see not being aware of white and purple because they are pretty niche and rare.

Um. 2/3 of the bell peppers? There are yellow, orange, purple, and white bell peppers too. Do your bell pepper research. Amateur.

Yup, vaccination isn’t reinforcements, it’s training. It’s having the other team’s playbook before they even step foot on the field.

In all of my ecology classes they were super specific about re-framing that concept as “survival of the fit enough”

You don’t actually have to be the best example of something to have your traits carried along, just good enough to consistently make it to reproductive age and then procreate.

It helps explain a lot of weird survival mechanisms - it doesn’t have to be the best way to do things but if it consistently works, then it’s good enough. Like the old saying “if it’s stupid, but it works, then it’s not stupid”

In addition to the community-aspects others have noted, the combat system is a bit slower-paced and extremely strategic. The jobs(classes) are all extremely unique and the sub-job system allows you to play them differently as needed. You can switch jobs on one character so you really grow attached to your specific character rather than making different characters for different classes.

You can swap-gear mid combat which gives you a lot of situational flexibility that makes it feel like you’re actively contributing to your success or failure. As an example you might have a set of great for a specific ability, or switch to defensive gear if you draw the enemy’s attention.

Additionally, the story is really nuanced and the side-characters are often very realistic in their choices, motivations, and there is a sense of consistency throughout the world that really makes it feel “lived-in” in a way a lot of other MMOs don’t bother with.

Honestly I could go on and on. It’s just a really special world and will stick with me for life. Even a few years out from playing I still get the itch to go back constantly. Vana’diel is like a second home for me.

FFXI ruined all other MMORPGs for me, because there is nothing like it and probably never will be again.

Final Fantasy XI and it’s not even close.

Hmm, I think I was responding within the context of some of the other replies, so I might have lost track of what OP said before responding.

As a French press/Mint guy, I guess I have to agree.

from Episode One and Episode Two, along with ideas and experiments for the third episode that never came to be.

Emphasis mine. They mean HL2 Ep 3 was planned and canceled. Not HL3.

I used to put a piece of tape that said “Sherlock” above the “Holmes” logo on a fan at a previous job, and my boss threatened to fire me for defacing work equipment and wasting materials.

This was the Coeur d’Alene Resort in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Fuck that place.

Pretty sure it’s Jesus H Roosevelt Christ

But, by that logic, 2003 is the 4th year of the millennium.

No one ever mentions this movie but my favorite movie is The Fountain, with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.

It’s basically a love story set in three timelines, with absolutely amazing music, dark storytelling, and an unbelievably satisfying ending. A lot of it is left up to interpretation but it’s not overly complicated. Cemented me as a huge fan of Aronofsky even if he’s not always a pop culture favorite.

I can see it. I squinted.

This just happened to me, once you make the bootable USB, open it up, go into EFI/boot, and copy grubx64.efi, then rename it to mmx64.efi

Everything should work from there.

The only thing, literally the only thing, that I liked from Win11 over 10 is that it can run x86 apps on ARM - I could play Final Fantasy XI (20+ year old game) on Windows 11 dual-booted from my M1 MacBook Air, when I had one.
