"Jinos 3D Filament” is pretty cheap. I started using them during the pandemic when it was hard to find PETG. Seem to be a small place in North Carolina that manufactures mostly for their own use? Sometimes they take a couple of days to ship.

They sell mostly on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/382556327412

[Edit: Just re-read that you’re looking for ABS/ASA - I don’t think Jinos does those, unfortunately]

to this day it’s still exiled on the Xbox 360, not a prime destination for the genre

It’s still ‘exiled’ on not-a-prime-destination-for-the-genre, but it does also run on modern Xbox systems thanks to backward compatibility - with vastly reduced load times and a solid 30fps frame rate.

It seems like it’s generally accepted that game 3 is the best of this trilogy, and game 2 the worst, but I’m in agreement with @kid4today@feddit.uk - there’s something about the balance of ‘Rise’ that made me like it a bit more than the rest. I hope you like it!

Tomb Raider 2013 is something of a poster-child for ‘ludonarrative dissonance’:

I picked one, but just do any sort of web search for ‘tomb raider ludonarrative dissonance’ and you’ll see a huge number of articles and videos on the topic.

I still loved he game though!

The idea is still around! Apple’s APFS file system (and HFS+in its later days) support sort-of transparent compression, and on all its platforms most system files - the ones that don’t change much - are compressed to save space for user files. There’s surprisingly little documentation about this.

There’s a third party tool you can use to compress files yourself: https://github.com/RJVB/afsctool

It looks like the technical details are in this pdf: https://developer.apple.com/support/downloads/Apple-File-System-Reference.pdf

It seems almost all commenters here are agreeing with the premise that ‘posters [have] to crosspost to both’.

I don’t think this is true. It leads to people subscribed to both having two identical posts with different responses in their feed, which is annoying. Just post to the one that you’re ‘closest’ to, or pick one at random.

Part of beauty of federation is that you can see all the content from multiple places. Cross-posting is not required!

eBay ran for a long time with a ‘buyer beware’ philosophy, requiring you to pay the seller directly, and leaving feedback being the only recourse. The de-facto payment became PayPal, but I remember mailing checks back in the day!

Ha! No, genuine individual recommendation.

[Was tempted to reply here recommending Mass Effect again - not sure the joke would’ve landed thought :-)]

Playing through the Legendary Edition remasters on Xbox right now - I second this recommendation, they’re a lot of fun.

Triple Click is great! I think it fits what they're looking for. It is not a 'news' podcast, and will often have a sort of 'theme' for the week that covers older games too - but they do cover major news, have opinionated year-end lists etc.
