That’s absurd. You don’t need to understand the inner workings of the kernel to know what a root account is. If you’re regularly encouraging people to install a new OS when you aren’t even confident in their ability to understand what a root account is, you’re not doing them any favors.
If you’re installing an OS you should absolutely understand what the root account is. That’s like buying a car without understanding the concept of keys.
Not if your bartender is properly trained and not a lazy piece of shit.
ER uses anti-cheat…
The base game already had some pretty badly designed fights that rely on deceptive animations and timing for their difficulty, and the DLC really triples down on that. The more games they make the more bullshit the fights get. I like a challenging fight, but when you have to die to a boss 20-30 times just to see all of their attacks, and the attacks are designed to not be legible the first time you see them… It’s just not very fun game design. I think FROM is a victim of their own success and this is the inevitable result of constantly trying to one-up the last hardest flight in the series. At a certain point it stops being rewarding and just becomes a grind.
It’s not that the dlc is harder per se, it’s that builds which could handle endgame content fairly easily are getting one- and two-shot by the first bosses in the DLC. They clearly overturned the DLC, whether intentionally to pad the playtime or not, and most players will need to respec or grind for several levels to stand a chance. I’m still getting one-shot by certain attacks with 75 vigor and fairly heavy armor.
I also think the design of many of the boss fights are mechanically unfair, but that was the case in the base game too. I love these games, but the more they make the more they trend toward bosses with 10+ hit strings with many fake endings, deliberate delays, and unreadable animations, basically requiring dozens of attempts to learn the attacks before you have a prayer of properly responding to them all. I’m still going to complete this DLC but it’s making me miss the more honest bosses of the older games in the series.
I mean, I definitely think it’s not ideal and there’s room for improvement and social pressure for Mozilla to change its priorities, but I also don’t think it’s any reason to abandon the project. The reality is that a modern web browser is too massive of a project for a non-commercial entity to reasonably develop and keep updated, and Mozilla is the only such entity that’s even remotely got its heart in the right place.
Still the best browser to support, still the best hope of defending open web standards from Google. Call me when they implement the ads in an onerous way.
Remakes can be awesome – the recent System Shock remake is an excellent example of doing it right. The problem, as it always is, is capitalism and greed, which lead to lazy money-grabbing remakes of games that didn’t need it. Many games that get remakes should have just gotten patches – Dark Souls is a prime example of this. The remake barely looked better than the original and changed things about the gameplay, not necessarily for the better.
Hugging, definitely. No playful wrestling since high school, and what there was there was definitely more motivated by competition and testosterone than affection.
As for snuggling, I wouldn’t want to snuggle with anyone that I didn’t have at least some sexual attraction to, unless I was in serious emotional distress and just needed it for the reversion to childhood. So I don’t snuggle with guys. I don’t know of many straight women who snuggle with their platonic friends either, beyond like sharing a blanket for a movie.
This is wildly not my experience. You can turn off motion blur in the vast majority of games… What’s your hardware?
For me Doom 2016 was a hugely more enjoyable experience than Eternal. 2016 is arguably one of the greatest linear single player shooters ever made. Eternal felt like a chore once you had all the tools unlocked and I lost interest shortly after. I could have lowered the difficulty so weapon selection didn’t matter, but that was clearly not the design intent.
Ultrakill does the “swap between weapons quickly for interesting combos” much better IMO – it’s not necessary but it’s a value add and it’s super fun to pull off.
I’ve experienced loss of smell from covid, luckily it came back. It really sucks but I would rather be reduced to the tongue tastes than lose my hearing, both for utility and enjoyment.
I find it amusing that the article seems to imply that smell should be ranked evenly alongside sight and hearing. Like, yes, smell is obviously a valuable sense that I would hate to lose… But I’m still taking my eyes and ears over my nose if given the option.
Yep. Lots of times road traffic is worsened in order to improve bike infrastructure with no simultaneous improvement of non-bike alternatives like public transit. Not everyone can replace their cars with bikes, especially not in America.
Please copy dota instead of league… Dota actually has a coherent design philosophy and creative devs who know how to balance a game, league is just designed around what monetizes the community most effectively.
It’s Linux. You can remove the restriction yourself.
It’s not that hard to either give your user account perma-sudo or to remove the timeout so you only have to enter the password once per login. Slightly more involved would be manually changing which actions require root authentication.
No one talks about land usage for solar either. Which is a real shame, because with some relatively minor redesigns solar plants can be integrated into the ecosystem without causing massive damage, instead of what usually happens which is just clear-cutting a huge field and destroying any plant and animal life there.
