09:09 <@Mirage> He's pretty dry to watch, but this is a decent video regarding setup/use of xrdp if anyone is interested.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAllRma_0xc&ab_channel=apalrd%27sadventures

10:05 <@_NSAKEY> Evilpig: Welcome to the club. I managed to snag one not too long ago that was being traded in at my friendly neighborhood Gamestop.
10:06 <@_NSAKEY> If you're an Elden Ring fan, the PS4 version of the game running on a PS5 version is the absolute best way to play it, even better than the PC version because of all the anticheat-induced crashes.
10:35 < Evilpig> _NSAKEY: my coworkers were telling me to get elden ring for sure
10:35 <@_NSAKEY> If you have a PS4, it's worth getting it on the PS4 and moving it just for the perf boost.
10:36 <@_NSAKEY> The people who don't like Elden Ring because of the "lack of a story" or because "it's too hard" are the kind of people who go to an ethnic restaurant and order from the kid's menu.
10:36 < Evilpig> I gotta say, I am NOT liking this haptic feedback or whatever they call it on the new ps5 controller
10:36 < Evilpig> the first time I pulled the trigger and it resisted I thought the controller was broke 
10:36 <@_NSAKEY> It hasn't bothered me, personally, but I also don't use the triggers much. It's an Elden Ring appliance at the moment.
10:37 < Evilpig> playing this tiny tina's wonderlands and doing alot of trigger pulling
10:37 < Evilpig> these peasant ass peasants need to dealt with
10:38 <@_NSAKEY> when I got it, they had the PS5 version of the FFVII Remake on sale (With the Yuffie DLC), so I spent the money for that.
10:38 <@_NSAKEY> Moved Elden Ring and some choice games over, and I caught Demon's Souls on sale because now I'm interested in the prior From Software titles.
10:39 <@_NSAKEY> I'm just assuming the "souls games are too hard" stuff started as embryos crying because they didn't get chickie nuggies for dinner and then it just got memed in the wrong direction
10:40 < Evilpig> lol
10:40 <@_NSAKEY> I'd recommend playing in offline mode if you do get it, for a variety of reasons.
10:41 <@_NSAKEY> There's a lot of "try fingers but hole" signs, and also signs at cliff edges saying to jump here.
10:41 < Evilpig> i've seen some of the message trolling or something to that effect
10:41 <@_NSAKEY> Watching streamers play it, the sign trolling just breaks the immersion
10:41 < Evilpig> other players putting interactive messages on top of quest points
10:41 <@_NSAKEY> Yeah
10:41 <@_NSAKEY> The open endedness of it without a ton of guidance makes me think of the original Legend of Zelda
10:42 <@_NSAKEY> and in terms of the tone/flavor of it, it's like GRRM jizzed LOTR all over a stack of 80s D&D competition modules, and I mean that in the best way possible
10:42 < Evilpig> I need to get a shower and go get the weekly shopping done.  that doesn't sound bad at all
10:42 <@_NSAKEY> Aside from some cringe surrounding the confusing naming scheme of some characters ("GRRM" repeats a few times in the first letters of their names) it's really well done from what I've seen so far
10:43 <@_NSAKEY> The big thing is to hit square when you're browsing your inventory to get the lore messages. That helps put some random little clues about the world building together, which answers the "what world building?" question the embryo crowd keeps squeaking out.
10:47 <@_NSAKEY> By reading lore messages, for example, I learned that a particular enemy type that didn't match any of the others is a mercenary from some far off land that isn't one of the places you can explore.
16:37 <@jb7od> I woke up having left YouTube on auto and woke up to this.. "Is that? ...Who is that?", and yes- It's Gene Wilder narrating a doc about the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, but I gotta say my man does a great job with it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6HuBYiQEeM
