Sylvartas,

Tbh they seem to be a lot more “hands off” with non-canon stuff, which I think includes all of the LOTR/middle earth licensed games, and that’s not a bad thing imo.

Sylvartas,

I have not used it for a long time but it’s really easy to fuck the install and potentially your entire system, depending on the fuckup(s).

As a matter of fact, that is exactly why I used it the first time : since it’s a nice lightweight distro and it has some interesting gotchas regarding installation, our sysadmin teacher had us all install it and set it up before we could actually use our distro of choice

Sylvartas,

How recent is that trend ? Because I definitely agree that modern movies’ mixing usually sucks ass for a non-theater setup, but I recently watched some 70’s James bond movie and it was actually much worse than what I’m used to. Like, if I setup the TV volume so the gunshots/explosion and the musics didn’t blow up my eardrums, dialogues were basically unintelligible 80% of the time

Sylvartas,

About some other guy on MTV, according to Wikipedia

Sylvartas,

What does being employed have to do with anything here ? Leeches landlords can be alcoholics/stoners, high functioning alcoholics are a thing, and I know a shit ton of people who can do their job perfectly fine while stoned

Sylvartas,

Air cooling is a lot less complex than water cooling, so there are fewer points of failure. If both can do the job, I’ll pick reliability over efficiency every time.

Sylvartas,

You get cheaper games, no subscription for online play, mods, replaceable parts, and an actual computer that can do literally anything you program it to though. Also a PS5 is at the very least $550 where I live

Sylvartas,

Americans

Sylvartas,

Yeah and if you went to France with that attitude, I bet you didn’t have a particularly bad time. (Paris is a little more complicated though, parisians have zero patience, especially with tourists, which does include french tourists)

Sylvartas,

But then you write code in the real world and find out that you have to write some ass backwards code every other day because of deadlines, backwards compatibility or whatever, and suddenly you realize that despite your best efforts, code cannot always be self documenting.

Honestly, after a few years of working with juniors (and being one myself before that), I have to disagree with the last part. Sure, it’s fine for solo projects but people’s programming skills can vary heavily. I know people who will pull the wildest C++ compile time tricks you’ve ever seen, but a pointer to a pointer would somehow break their brain.

Sylvartas, (edited )

In a vacuum, sure. On a real project of substantial size with more than one programmer, I’m afraid it quickly becomes a “cannot”

Sylvartas,

Diablo 4 works perfectly with proton experimental on my steam deck tho

Sylvartas,

Also these people, who are so adamant in their beliefs that the State is out to get them (or will be in the near future) are almost always in favor of militarizing police and giving them more power in general, if not straight up pushing for it.

Persecution fetish indeed.

Sylvartas,

Yeah the correct term would be “commutative” as someone already pointed out. Meaning the order doesn’t matter when considering multiple percentages. E.g 50% of 73% of something is the same as 73% of 50% of that same thing

Sylvartas, (edited )

I feel like in the last few years, Japanese publishers have been atoning for a lot of their early-2000’s sins (except Square Enix and Konami who seem to have doubled down)

Sylvartas,

Yeah it’s important for me because I have shit handwriting. I also draw zeroes with a bar in the middle because one of my college teachers used to subtract 1 point on tests for every zero with no bar.

We all hated that but tbh I’m glad I have that good practice ingrained in my brain now because I can’t accidentally mix up 0 and O

Sylvartas,

You draw sevens with a small bar in the middle because it looks better.

I draw sevens with a small bar in the middle because I have the handwriting of a goblin and my ones and sevens often look similar otherwise

We are not the same

Sylvartas,

Yeah I jumped ship to piped too because of this. I also discovered it allows me to circumvent region locks without even firing up my VPN which is a nice bonus

Sylvartas,

The vast majority of YouTube comments are incredibly dumb. I hope the reason is that it’s mostly kids.

Sylvartas,

It’s true that they’re less “facepalm-inducing” under the smarter videos, but any entertainment video with wide enough appeal is gonna be littered with comments that will make you feel like you’re having a stroke while reading them. It usually gets worse if the channel is more family friendly, I assume because the YouTube algorithm serves it to kids a lot more.

Sylvartas,

Idk I just went to a channel that I know for a fact only allows you to purchase the videos if you’re watching from France, but I was able to watch all the videos for free because they are not restricted outside of France. I think it’s supposed to work automatically if your piped instance has access to instances that are hosted in countries where the videos are unrestricted

So in your case it should work if you go through an instance that is hosted in the UK
