IMO it depends on the game.

I can tell the strength difference between a Rando Bandit and a Decently Equipped Bandit.

Or a Rando Bandit and a Giant Ass Monster.

But this is obviously not the case for Rando Bandit and Rando Bandit, when somehow the latter is stronger because they stay on the other side of the forest.

I just hate this kind of areal difficulty scaling because there isn’t much visual cue provided.

There are times when the original standard has zero forwards compatibility in it, such that any improvement made to it necessarily creates a new standard.

And then there’s also times when old greybeards simply disregard the improved standard because they are too used to the classic way.

To be fair: A notebook with a bunch of strong passwords is probably more secure than a human brain memorising a bunch of weak passwords.

It’s pretty difficult nowadays to self-host websites when everyone and their nanny shares a single public IP address (IPv4 address exhaustion is real, everyone!) unless you purchase a hosting service.

That’s pretty much just pushing the centralization from Google, AWS etc to the hosting services.

Good luck getting a block of IP addresses from your regional internet registry for this community ISP… IP address exhaustion is just that, no more addresses. That’s why we are sharing them.

We do have a solution and it’s called IPv6, but its deployment is still not as widespread as people would like to be. If I self-host my website on IPv6, a lot of people from Europe would still be unable to access it.

Tell me you haven’t seen people adamantly defending IPv4 without telling me so…
