Whilst I can't be bothered to look it up on my phone - we have hard data that disproves this link, last I checked.

Saints Row (2022) had some of my flavour of silliness.

Yeah, same. I use a combination of Linux and macOS at home but have a work laptop running Windows. It's dreadful and feels like it only exists to make my tasks harder. I never find myself saying "what a useful feature!" but I often say "Ugh, why are you like this?".

Which is fair enough and totally reasonable - it was purely in the context of that comment it seemed odd. You had a device that actually uses the architecture that Macs use and one that used an architecture that they don't but... yeah. It's not important, it just made me chuckle.

...and groan about the march of time.

But the Switch and beyond use ARM, the architecture Macs have used for the last five years? It just seemed an odd thing to mention given how long it's been since Macs used PPC. I know they used to, but I'm old enough to have used 68000k Macs too so of course I remember that time.

I'm confused by your first sentence - the last machines they made that used PPC were in 2005. To me it reads like you're correcting me but saying exactly the same thing..?

The fact that Macs stopped using the architecture twenty years ago makes it bit of an odd connection, I would argue. As you say, the 360 used the architecture far more recently and over 84 million of those were sold. It's not like it was some obscure device.

Mac haven't used PowerPC since 2005.

Sure, but if the options are to watch something in low resolution or not at all, I'm picking up the novelisation instead.

I suppose if you're that far right the gap between yourself and other points on the political spectrum is quite a gulf.

I thought it had had that for twenty years?

I played Atomic Heart on Game Pass around the time it came out and... I cannot recommend it. The actual game was really rather dreary.

They're definitely fun and I enjoyed them but knowing how long they are I wouldn't start them again. I had a similar thing with GTA IV!

 

I'm trying to run a load of services and use TrueNAS Scale as the data storage for them. I have three 1 TB disks setup as RAIDZ1 - a single data pool. I've had to unplug the power a few times for various practical reasons and it seems like this setup simply cannot be relied on to function. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's not. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here and cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

I take a look at the storage dashboard and see "Unused disks: 3". Okay, let's add them back to my pool ("main"):

Add Disks To:

  • New Pool
  • Existing Pool

...except there's no pools listed under "existing pool". If I create a new one it just wipes the disks. That's no bloody good.

Thankfully I've yet to store any important data on them as I'm still in the testing phase. As far as I can see though, despite the disks being attached to the system by serial number, it gets confused and doesn't keep them through power disruptions.

Is it worth fannying about with TrueNAS? I feel like I might as well just bin ZFS and use an rsync-based backing up of data (I have several other disks, but only three that are the same size).

I'm not sure if this is controversial or not - but I (mostly) don't like games that are primarily set underground.

There are a few exceptions to this, Dungeon Keeper and The Binding of Isaac spring to mind, but mostly I find it actively discouraging. Perhaps it's a desire to explore under the sky, perhaps it's that it feels claustrophobic, or perhaps it's the gloom.

I don't have a problem with the dark or claustrophobia in the real world, so it's not that. Anything that involves dungeon crawling immediately puts me off. I don't want to go down into the dark! I want to be outside!

I wasn't a fan of the Metro series until Exodus, I bounced off Recettear as soon as the dungeon element was introduced. Anything that wants me to spend an extended period underground with monsters is just a massive turn-off for me. Sewer levels and the like also have this, to a lesser extent.

Anyone else have this specific dislike?
