My favorite is the original Final Fantasy Tactics, hands down. I also liked XCOM 1, Advance Wars, Ogre Battle 64, Unicorn Overlord, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, and probably a few others I can’t think of right now.

I’ve had my eye on Tactics Ogre Reborn for a while now, but haven’t bought yet since it seemingly won’t go below 50% off, and the reviews say some of the later missions are pretty stacked against you, forcing you to play a certain way. Thoughts on this?

I would suggest looking at MS certification programs, even if you don’t want to take the exams. I haven’t taken a Windows Server exam in a while, but looks like the latest one is Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate. You’ll also want to look into things like Active Directory, Group Policy, printing and print servers, and domains and domain controllers. As you mentioned, some networking can be handled Windows-side, like DHCP and DNS, but depending on the org, may be handled by other solutions.

As far as getting your hands on Windows Server software, you can download from MS, and it will have a 180 day trial before activation, which can be extended.

So, the article is about gacha MMOs, but then doesn’t list any? Of the games it references, Honkai Star Rail isn’t a MMO, and World of Warcraft isn’t a gacha game.

Last Epoch: Fun ARPG with a couple different female characters available. The buildcraft complexity strikes a sweet spot between Path of Exile and Diablo 4. You can definitely turn your brain off and kill enemies by the truckload.

Fallout 4: Along the lines of Skyrim, just swap fantasy with post-apocalyptic sci-fi. You can play as a girl, and see plenty of tiddies depending on mods (shoutout to the “A Storywealth” collection on Nexusmods).

Fallout 3 and New Vegas: see above, just older.

Wayfinder: fun RPG game with set characters, but a few are girls. Combat was fun IMO. This one started as a live service game, but after backlash and their publisher dropping them, the devs rebuilt the game as a pay-to-play game with an end.

Bayonetta: kill tons of baddies with over-the-top combat as a sexy witch.

Dynasty Warriors & other “musou” games: lumping these together, but girls to play and TONS of enemies to kill

Granblue Fantasy: Relink: plenty of girls to play as, and fun combat. Honestly, the biggest drawback to this one IMO is not enough content after you finish the campaign.

Saints Row 2, 3, 4: definitely self-indulgent trash, definitely boobs, still fun

Looks good, but I’m not looking to pick up a new game right now. I wishlisted it, though.

Personally, I’m indifferent to it, though, if you don’t like the name, then no reason to keep perpetuating the tradition. A buddy of mine was the 3rd with his name, but did not pass the name to either of his sons (his oldest got it as a middle name, though). His family was not happy about that.

That’s clearly something that Steve would say. Source: am Steve… or am I?

Is your cousin not able to call his provider to find out?
