There’s plenty of media with the same level of restrictions. The difference is that Steam is putting those restrictions in a convenient bulleted list right at the point of purchase - everywhere else, you’re expected to play ball and find out as you go along.

I went with 4K77/80/83 based on what I had read, if you have a look at the site it seems like they had access to original film and even went so far as to have separate versions intended for viewing on a projector or TV

Seems like you really just don’t like Persona.

This isn’t Persona.

As far as I understand it, the comparisons pretty much end at the combat system / gameplay mechanics.

Without giving away too much, you have a world where, every year, everybody of a certain age is erased. Every year, those with one year left to live set out to try and stop that from happening - and for ~77 years, none of them have returned.

This sets the stage for exploration of grief, loss, and associated trauma. In most games, there’s death everywhere but the emotional side is relegated to a 3 minute scene with sad piano music before the characters get back to the action. In this game, they drill a lot deeper and it really makes the characters come alive.

They’ve nailed the blend of sadness, joy, and even comedy.

This is all then set in a backdrop of some of the most visually interesting environments ever presented in a videogame with a completely insane musical score that brings all of those moments to life, the game is effectively a frisson machine.

Yup, that’s the full scan. Your quick scan results were chill enough that it wasn’t necessarily a bad idea to scan further, I usually stop a scan after 5-10 dead sectors because I know I’ll be replacing the disk.

You’ve got 47 dead / completely unresponsive sectors and quite a few that are slower to respond. Overall, it’s good that you don’t have a ton beyond the 250ms range.

I should have asked, is this disk making any clicking / grinding / scraping noises?

Before proceeding, I would prioritize manual copy of any critical / irreplaceable data. You mentioned using this disk for Program Files - Program installers can usually be sourced and rerun, so I would consider that low priority.

When it comes time to clone the disk, those dead sectors might pose a problem with cloning software. I know that, by default, Macrium Reflect and Clonezilla stop the clone on unresponsive sectors. Both have options to override that, leaving behind bad data.

If the disk is not clicky / scrapey / grindy, you could run chkdsk /r X: to have your filesystem adjusted and reallocate data away from problem areas before running a clone operation.

Please note that continued operation of a failing disk yields continued degradation. In cases of active / rapid failure, running a long filesystem repair operation like chkdsk can actually work against you.

I use OpenSuperClone, a Linux based advanced cloning tool, for most failing disk cases that come through my shop. It’s probably overkill for the current condition of your disk and there’s going to be a learning curve if you choose to go that route, but the main advantage is that it grabs all the “easy” sectors before working on problem areas in order of increasing difficulty. I would have been recommending this route if you were to have had a high count of sectors taking longer than 500ms to respond (green / orange / red). That recommendation would have been accompanied by the disclaimer “if you can’t afford to lose this data, hire a professional”

Everything I described relates mostly to motherboards for custom builds (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, etc)

Dell doesn’t have an “Advanced Mode” and profiles are limited to one “save as custom user settings” option.

Unless something has changed with their absolute latest models, their UEFI usually follows a “tree” layout that is super navigable with a keyboard. Arrow keys, spacebar, and the TAB key ought to get you everywhere you need to go - the latter being necessary to jump from the tree on the left over to managing the different settings on the right.

The SMART table is not necessarily an accurate representation of the disk’s condition - I get a lot of disks that come through with a “GOOD” condition yet they’re on the brink of data loss.

Disks in a caution state should have replacement and data recovery prioritized.

The appropriate approach to data recovery will vary based on the condition of the disk.

A good place to start would be to download the free Victoria disk diagnostic software, run the “quick” surface scan, and post the result here. Note that any disk interaction / usage during the test will negatively bias the result.

As far as replacement is concerned, provision for whatever falls within your budget plus a second disk to use for periodic backups.

In Windows, I use two disks in a mirrored storage space to tolerate one disk failure, plus an offsite backup.

Are those not Honeybees?

In the OEM / Laptop / Prebuilt space I’m definitely seeing move of a pivot towards graphical UEFI, that ones with forced mouse navigation are currently the exception but when I come across it I hate it.

I own a repair shop so I’m sure my perspective comes from spending an unusual amount of time in UEFI/BIOS over the course of the years, but I find that they remain perfectly usable with a keyboard.

Most modern UEFI have an “advanced mode” (usually F7) that is a lot closer to traditional BIOS layout and navigability. I actually get unreasonably bothered when trainees insist on fumbling around with the mouse in “Easy Mode”

There’s so many options in modern UEFI that there are two features I’m actually incredibly grateful for:

The “Favorites” systems, so that you can have all of the settings you’ll actually change all in one place

The “Profiles” systems, so that you can easily hop between configurations

Without those, the onion meta-game of finding options that are arranged differently on AMD vs Intel or between different motherboard vendors is a rough time.

“Enhanced Tracking Protection” is enabled by default in Firefox. This feature blocks certain cookies.

Browsers can be configured to clear cookies on close

Browsers that market themselves for “privacy” probably do it by default

Privacy oriented browser purging cookies would make sense

No lie here, just a user who doesn’t understand how cookies work

I routinely engage with Microsoft services for work and generally only get this after clearing browser data.

Edit: To clarify, this is not a case of “works on my machine” - in addition to my own, my work involves hundreds of users’ devices with many different browsers and configurations. The dialog is effectively a “Remember Me” checkbox, which stores a cookie. Employing extensive use of privacy tools will affect cookies and is antithetical to the concept of having a site remember who you are and will probably mess with that cookie - not that there’s anything wrong with wanting to protect one’s privacy.

My point was mostly that this meme isn’t really a typical experience and that experience is likely the result of something they’ve set up for themselves.

Some users with AMD graphics cards get a hard shutdown during the cutscenes immediately after boss fights.

I played through side by side with my partner, they had to repeat a difficult boss fight several times before they eventually just started skipping post-boss cutscenes on their system and watching them on mine.

Bummed that this is a Switch exclusive, my partner and I live the Hazelight games

Snacking is not an appropriate solution to actual hunger though.

Can help if you’re a bit peckish or (in moderation) seeking mouth entertainment. If you’re hungry after a snack, it’s probably because you were supposed to have eaten a real meal to begin with.

Microdosing essentials for living = crappy living

Whodathunk?

I could actually relate to sleep+tired = still tired.

Snacking and still feeling hungry is a question of bad habits. Stop snacking so much, focus on nutritious meals.

For me, being around a few good friends is more fulfilling than being around a crowd - even if those few good friends are in the crowd.
