I wish I could get my family to help do a crossword with me.

I don’t always pay attention to the deep lore in games, and that sometimes hits me all at once. I’ll find myself thinking, “Wait, why did I come all this way down a giant tree full of monsters to kill this lady? What the heck did she do to me to deserve that?”

They did, but the first run of MacBooks we got that didn’t have Firewire would let you use USB. But we needed an A to C adapter to make that work.

Ha, old man brain glitching there. The A to A cable we used for file migration, but we had to stick an A to C adapter on one end to use TDM on some machines (had to be USB 3 rated, I think). It was around 2016, if I remember correctly? It honestly didn’t come up that often.

In the long, long ago, we used to use USB-A to A cables to transfer customers’ Mac OS X user profiles when they would buy a new Mac. Also worked with Target Disk Mode, way back when.

Time spent in pleasure is never wasted.

I loved Inquisition’s story, acting, and art. The moment to moment gameplay, exploration, and combat didn’t click with me though, and I found it a challenge to finish. The thought of slogging through area after area kind of makes my heart sink. But I appreciate the hard work that goes into game creation, no shade on the team.

I’m keeping an open mind, but it’s going to take a loooooot of positive word of mouth to get me to even think about picking DA up again.

“Guess what?”

“What?”

“CHICKEN BUTT!”

That’s the one!

I had an ASCII Grip for the original Playstation that I really loved. It was a one-handed controller that I mostly used to play RPGs, and although it took a little getting used to, I eventually got so comfortable with it I could menu faster with the Grip than with a normal pad!
