I'd say the PS3 was the pinnacle of console gaming, at least with the early 60GB models. They had full backwards compatibility with PS1 and PS2 discs and DVDs while adding a Blu-ray player and internal hard drive to eliminate the need of memory cards. Access to online multiplayer and PSN was also totally free until MS showed Sony how much they could charge for the next generation of consoles. While it had its fair share of controversies like the initial price tag, PSN hack, and updating the firmware to no longer boot custom Linux OSs, it generally had the most features that any casual fan would enjoy.

Instead of trusting DLink with an off the shelf NAS, it might be easier to build your own with a Raspberry Pi running openmediavault hooked up to a couple of USB hard drives. It's worked well for me for over 6 years now with no issue and could cost way less.

This. Give us a full 3D remake of either FFVI or FFVIII and please don't spread it out over 3 games! We don't need to explore the world map and every single dungeon in stretched out, agonizing detail.

It's as stale as our collective taste for it apparently. We'd have had pro reform politicians elected to power otherwise.

Part of the reason is because most people don't notice the lawsuits or think this is boilerplate legal stuff that happens in the background all the time. They're too distracted by the entertainment side of things.

It's still better than WebEx because I don't have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.

MAG was truly a gem that never got the chance to shine. I wish some other developer would try doing something as mad as 256 player matches again.

It'd be nice if JRPGs would go back to the old school overworld design like in Star Ocean 2. It's a good compromise between sense of scale and interactivity with the world.

Spoiler: They will waste their time.

Maybe, but you'd have to have more than a dozen exclusive titles for that to matter much compared to the thousands available for PC.

He's earned it. Hopefully retirement doesn't suit him though and we get another Mistwalker OST.

If you do get an e bike later know that some brands are very bad with reliability and support so you can end up with a $2000 brick on wheels. Case in point: Rad Power Bikes, their batteries can die just a year after purchase even with good maintenance and their support will simply ignore you if you try to claim a warranty repair/replacement.

 

Hi all, I've recently switched over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I'm having trouble installing a CH340 driver from Sparkfun. I've managed to unzip the contents and have it in this location: /home/user/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX. I've tried running the files using the ./ command for both the ch34x.c and Makefile but ran into a bash issue which I'm stuck trying to figure out. Could someone please tell me how to make it work? I've already looked up a couple of different videos on Youtube but they kind of skip the explanation of how to install this driver on Linux in favor of Windows and MacOS.

Please see the attached image for the response I get in the terminal.

UPDATE: It turns out I had a bad micro USB cable. Most of the ones I was using to connect to an ESP32 board were charge only. Mint apparently had the driver for this all along. Thanks for the help everyone.
