  • I’m making an effort to pick more libre/free content, it just takes a lot more effort to fully make the switch than I had anticipated. We should really be pushing for more open, freely licensed content. I’d estimate that most Lemmy users are also Linux users, so it shouldn’t be too hard to convince people. I’ve been under a rock for so long that my issue is simply not know what the alternatives are.


  • In FFXI, at around level 20, you have to walk from your starter city to the main capital city, Jueno. It takes a couple of hours your first time, because all of the monsters are level 40+, and you have almost no chance of surviving an encounter,. You have to cross several very large maps in the process, usually alone or with a friend at around a similar level, and there is a lot of sneaking around you have to do in order to avoid detection. I always liked this part of the game because of the challenge it presented. When you arrive in Jueno, you finally get your chocobo license and never have to walk across those maps again, unless you really wanted to.

    The updated version of the game doesn’t require traveling like this anymore. I think you can just take an airship or teleport there somehow now, but I still take the long way for nostalgia whenever creating a new character.
