When they call me to fix their PC 😂

...because he wasn't ever actually meant to be the main character, he just happened to steal the show, like a good pirate.

Balthier is the real protagonist, though Asche is another contender.

Vaan is the player character, but he might as well be the silent "protagonist"/PC that gets dragged through the plot that's led by the actual protagonist(s). He probably would've been better that way.

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Well, Balthier does ask him at one point why he is there and he just doesn't have an answer for it.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is peak Final Fantasy

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

I found it fun.
And reinforces the sentiment that Vaan really isn't the main character.

"For the XP and loot, man, what else??"

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wish Vaan were silent. Kid was annoying as fuck.

[–] GriffinClaw@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

Haaaard agree. I dropped the game halway through because of how annoying he was.

I was helping someone download a tv show on an Ipad, they use Ublock origin on their laptop. The problem is that their is no Ublock orgin on the ipad, I kept trying to find the download button and getting ads in the end I gave up. I just used the laptop. There was no torrent for this show, I had to use a shity ad-ridden site.

Brave Browser.

Or if want to stick with safari, download adguard extension.

Also orion browser lets you download U-Block for free on Ios.

[–] TheMachineStops@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All browsers on ios are the same browser engine, only recently have they allowed different browser engines.

Huh. Well then adguard works fine on safari and brave has a built in add blockers. So there are two free solutions.

Tried it, it couldn't block the ads on the site, only ublock could do it.

Anyone else having piratebay and 1337x redirect their browsers to weird German porn lately?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I couldn't say, but I've had my german porn changed to shady pirate websites and it's infuriating

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People arent using prowlarr or jackett to search torrents en-masse?

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Never heard of those, so... no?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago

You should learn about prowlarr and then set it up along with radarr and sonarr (and whatever other *arr service you'd find useful, there's a bunch).

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which domains are you using?

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The ones Wikipedia says are official.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Both show the correct domains so I have no idea. They both load the normal sites for me.

Maybe it's whatever DNS service you're using?

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Oooooh schwester!
