There’s even a spreadsheet!
hey I know this is offtopic but have you migrated your mojang account to a Microsoft account? if you didn’t yet, please do so now otherwise your account will be deleted soon, like very very soon, September 19th kind of soon
I know, it sucks, we all hate it but since you mentioned 10 years ago I figured I’d give you and anyone else reading this a reminder
Yeah, did a couple years back. Had to re-buy it because I was like 11 or something when minecraft blew up and i initially got it and had no chance of recovering all the info I needed.
FF12 had some bullshit chest near the beginning of the game… If you opened it you lost the ability to 100% the game and get the Zodiac spear ( reportedly some ability to get one in a very tedious grunts fashion but it’s been ages)
Basically the straw that broke the camel’s back for me with ff… The games story and combat was already a let down after they dropped the turn based combat like all of them ff1-ff10
But yeah generally I dislike many soft lock mechanics or illogical things that punish you for just playing the game… Oftentimes these were put in games just to sell strategy guides.
Final Fantasy Legend for the og Gameboy. I remember getting pretty far in the tower and there was some weapon or item you had to have to pass or beat something and I missed getting it and couldn’t progress and never played it again.
Undertale is an indie game that promotes and encourages kindness toward others. You can play the game however you want, and there are a multitude of endings depending on how nice/mean you are in your playthrough.
But if you’re not 100% kind to everyone you meet; if you take even one unkind action toward someone, you’re locked out of the perfect good ending. And it remembers your playthrough, so you can’t ever earn it by replaying the game. I dunno if that’s been patched; I haven’t played it since about 2015, but that was the rule when I started it.
And there was no indication starting out that you had this choice. Most people default to fighting bad guys in games. There wasn’t even a hint that you could play the game as a passive, kind person and never harm anyone, despite their aggressive and harmful actions toward you.
So most gamers got locked out of that perfect good ending. Which I guess is kind of the message of the game. Every small act, whether good or bad, can affect people around you permanently. But it’s still annoying as a completionist, knowing that I could never perfectly complete a game because of a rule I wasn’t informed of when I started.
The game remembered a lot of things but you very much could do a pacifist run by starting a new game. I read about the pacifist run after about an hour into the game, decided I wanted to try it, and restarted and was able to achieve the best ending.
Maybe add the old LucasArts adventure game Grim Fandango to the list, it’s more comical than ‘scary’. It has a relatively recent remaster with modern controls. Some would say the original tank controls are a horror into themselves. Though looking at the ESRB rating it is T for teen.
Consider moving from mullvad if you are into torrenting. Mullvad doesnt support port forwarding anymore. But no matter what provider you chose, use docker container gluetun to route traffic from any other container (like transmission). I like transmission, but most people use qbittorrent because its more advanced. You can also set up VPN in qbittorrent settings
If the port you’re connecting through isn’t forwarded, it isn’t allowing most connections through, drastically slowing down your speed and ability to seed, since you can’t connect to any peers.
I don’t torrent, as a rule, so I can’t say I’d notice any speed reduction. I had, however, noticed that no matter how long I kept seeding, I’d gotten few - or maybe no - connections. I didn’t know if this were because nobody else was leeching the thing at the time, or something else like this.
I’m very reluctant to give up Mullvad. So far, in all ways I care about they’ve demonstrated justification for brand loyalty. Plus, I’ve been with them for years and already have everything set up and configured across multiple deviiiiceeeessss.
As I said, torrenting isn’t a critical activity for me, so I’ll hang tight. I am curious to know if Mullvad has given a justification for stopping support for port forwarding. They used to, right? So it was work for them to stop.
You’ll get more connections if people can get to you; otherwise, you’re only connecting to people who are port forwarding themselves. If you’re port forwarding, you can connect to everyone.
I recommend The Decursio Project if youre looking for an in depth industrial modpack (it does require magic, if thats a deal breaker). it has minecolonies too. Im running a private server on it right now and its the best mod pack ive ever played, though i did disable the “ages” mechanic and im not doing the quests, just using them as a reference.
