Waiting for Steve and Wendell to weigh in.

Given the share price has fallen so hard, I won’t be surprised if Ubisoft just lays off most the workforce anyways.

This is why you don’t preorder! Don’t pay extra to get the game early when they’ll launch it early anyways if sales are too low!

So they… prove that they’re a threat out of spite?

Late to the party. Generic designs. Boring uninspired gameplay that did nothing to advance the genre, and basically no marketing. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just a tax-loss project by the 8th year of development.

Doesn’t Natsume own Harvest Moon?

Eh, at least you can still take notes very easily and reinstall DE later.

No!

I’d prefer GNU’s ddrescue just because I find it more robust and has better progress output. It’s functionally the same interface but lets you use a mapfile to resume sessions should anything happen to interrupt the copy.

Arguably I’m against this because you never know what’s going to happen and the conventional wisdom for appliances like this is to just backup any important configs, backup your containers and vms, then do a fresh install from the latest install media on the new disk followed by a restore of the backups. It might take a little more time but it’s negligible and allows you an opportunity to review your current configs, make necessary changes, and ensure your backups are working as intended.

According to this Blu-ray has some of the worst expected shelf life, with the exception of BD-RE.

Well, I feel a bit better getting my 7900 XTX then even if the price was a bit of a gut punch. It’s been a rock solid replacement of my 3090 for gaming and general Linux performance and stability. Guess I’ll be sticking with this for a few years till AMD decides to compete on high end again.
