I've played all the old school Square and Enix stuff. FF6 is my goat.

Sure. Tales games tend to be high fantasy settings where each game is its own setting (much like Final Fantasy in that sense). They tend to have a lot of "war against heaven corrupted" kind of vibes. But largely there's a lot of places to explore, NPCs to talk to, and a bunch of great little skits that trigger between your team. They tend to be lighter on graphics in exchange for length and depth of story. But it's also somewhat linear, and carefully crafted and you can sort of lose yourself in finding the next story beat.

But they also typically have active combat systems where it's about button mashing and combos. This is the part I don't like :)

No! I've heard it is quite the investment if you want to start at the beginning. Is there a later jumping in point that works well, in your opinion?

But you mean you wrote it in python with tkinter as a toolkit, rather than writing it in Tcl (which is its own language, like python).

Generally speaking, while not necessarily the speediest GPUs, anything post i710 has had quite decent Linux support. I hope this is no exception.

Serious question: I've never met a programmer who has ever actually written anything in Tcl in the real world. If you've working in Tcl, tell me about it! What did you use it for and when? Was it awesome/terrible/etc.?

I agree, so I've been posting photos and things. What we don't need is a bunch of autoposting bots.

If you want to find the busy threads though, sort of Active and All. And just see what is going on across the lemmyverse

With the exception of gold, all of your above examples are usually either abundant and cheap (garnet), or are cheaper and better when made in a lab. For example: Sapphire is just aluminum oxide -- no one is cutting phone screens from mined gems. And lab made diamonds are pennies on the dollar.

Anderson powerpoles. They're like Lego, non-gendered, and will handle your current requirements. I use them to make harnesses in my scientific equipment applications all the time under specs similar to yours.

Oh lord, I'm on eps 12 and I have no idea why I'm still watching but...

Eh, maybe? It's part of the fantasy-world-is-real trope. A spiritual successor to Narnia, but with adult characters. Or a predecessor to something like The Magicians. If you like these sorts of books, where the real world is part of the setting, then it may appeal. It's almost Isekai.

Honestly though, I've forgotten most of it. It's a "read once" book.

Read "Fred the Vampire Accountant" instead ;)

Hey now, I actually loved the back third of that book ;)
