Final Fantasy XI. I'm almost exactly 1,000 hours into it, and only halfway through the storyline. I haven't even touched end-game content. I'm playing on a free private server called HorizonXI that is well-populated and feels more like the game when it came out versus the modern day solo experience.

Bit too late.

In their defense, pepperoni is delicious.

I have a feeling it will come back. Misha has been dropping hints for a while. If it does and you decide to join, be sure to join up with a local group or drag your family and friends into it - it's way more fun with a big group of people.

I always do nature trails and I carry pepper spray, and take a trail I know well so I can get us back to the parking lot quickly if I wanna pack it up sooner. Most trails in my area are well populated to boot.

I absolutely wouldn't go on a remote hiking trail with a stranger. That's just asking for a bad time.

I agree, coffee dates suck. I usually do a nature walk for a 1st date because it's free and gives us something to do.

It's a gift and a curse.

I don't have those either.

I always respected that they brought in Troi so often. We all need therapy, and it was a strange comfort to see that counselors were still needed in a utopian future.

"Yeah, I'm a pretty low key person and a bit of a homebody."

Read as: "I am so terrified by the immense abuse I have suffered that I am barely capable of even the most basic social skills and have a panic attack every time I leave the house."

I've needed FBI background checks for nearly every job I've ever had. If I need a background check to work in an elementary school, why don't these people need it to handle our nation's secrets?

I have a Plex server running on Mac OSX. Whenever I want to add media, I remotely connect into the Mac, login to my private tracker, download the torrent, wait for it to finish, then update my Plex library.

I'm hopeful that there's an easier way. I'm imagining a way I can remotely tell the Plex server what I want to watch and it takes it from there. Does such a thing exist?

I matched with a guy on a dating site this week and really hit it off with him, but he looked extremely familiar and I couldn't put my finger on it. It didn't take long for us to figure out that we grew up in the same small hometown. I asked my childhood bestie about it, and she immediately recognized him - He grew up four houses down from me and we played together as kids!

He's a super wholesome guy - A kindergarten teacher, recently moved back to our hometown to take care of his grandma with dementia, rescued an aging dog. Extremely romantic and kind person.

The kicker? He doesn't recognize me because I changed my name when I transitioned, so he has no idea that we were childhood friends.

We have a date tomorrow and I'm crossing my fingers that it goes well!

I'm gushing over how cute this whole situation is. Figured y'all could use some positivity this week. ❤️

I'm one person and won't have a fridge for a few weeks as mine died. I can't stomach any more canned soup. Any ideas for small meals I can make with shelf stable ingredients?

I was shocked in the presidential debate that Harris gave staunch support for fracking. I was under the impression that democrats are against fracking, and remember people being critical of Fetterman for supporting it.

I also grew up in an area that was heavily impacted by the pollution from fracking. People who worked in the field were seen as failures of moral character who chose profits over the health of their children. How is it that both major parties are now in support of it? I feel like I must be missing a piece of the puzzle.

A small apothecary opened in my neighborhood that makes beauty products. They've been very accommodating with selling me shampoo and body wash in my own reused containers. It's all locally sourced ingredients. I'm new in my Zero Waste journey but it feels great to eliminate plastic from part of my daily routine.

What is Graysexual? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 months ago by Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/asexual@lemmy.world

I've recently met a man whose dating profile said that he's Graysexual. I tried Googling the term, but it's a bit confusing and I'm hoping to get a straightforward breakdown from the kind folks in this community.

From what I gather, it's a branch of asexuality that sometimes feels sexual attraction. That's a bit ambiguous, though.

I will ask the person directly once we've spoken more, but it will help to have a foundation of understanding beforehand. Thanks ahead of time!

My bestie broke both of his arms and wrists two days ago. He's in his 20s, a gamer, has a pregnant wife and a young kid. Any ideas for gifts I can get to cheer him up? He'll have no use of his arms for 3 months.

Already got a bidet for him and hooked it up. Looking into accessible gaming controllers, but he said that the pain is so bad rn that even alternative controllers are probably a no go.

Took me a few hours to figure this out, figured I'd pass it along. Forgive formatting, I'm on mobile.

I have a host name whose dns points to my home IP. I use this for game servers for my buddies. Should I be worried about my home IP being easily accessible like this, and should I get a physical firewall appliance to protect myself?

Servers are running Windows Server 2019 and Mac OSX.

I'm new to manga and have read the above. I get hooked on the cat and mouse of "How will our protagonist overcome it this time?". Any manga recommendations like this?

Of the above, Berserk was my favorite. Beefy men are a plus.

Thanks ahead of time!

I have a raspberry Pi 4B that is connected to a CRT TV via Composite and controlled with a PS4 controller. I'd like to use the Pi for Netflix, Plex client, and playing DVDs from an ext drive. What distro would be best for this?

I tossed Retro Pi onto it and the controls work great but I can't figure out how to install the media apps.
