- Comment on Critical Docker Desktop flaw lets attackers hijack Windows hosts 5 days ago:
I run Rancher Desktop on Windows… But only because my company won’t let me use Linux, and I only use it for Dev and testing.
All that to say, I have no idea why else you would be running a container engine on a Windows host.

Nostalgia? Doom 3 came out three years after Diablo 2’s expansion.

I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.

Graphical video games predate ASCII.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 2 weeks ago:
Hell, not even junior devs. I need to be able to come back to code months or years later and be able to figure it out. I can only remember so much.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 2 weeks ago:
No. Both are hard to maintain. And in fact, I’d prefer the spaghetti. It can be untangled.

If your code is as comprehensible as that run-on sentence, I can understand why coworkers would ask you to please write simpler code.

+1 for Ubiquiti, but I’d suggest one of the cheaper models with built in WiFi unless you plan on having an intricate network.

- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 2 months ago:
I adored the details they gave the characters in that game. I accidentally
Tap for spoiler
got the good ending just because I wanted to see the story of each character
It also had such nice and natural-feeling LGBTQ characters.

You should never feel bad for turning difficulty down.

I have heard them called “knowledge-based games”. While not catchy, I think it’s accurate.

I emailed Lifeformed back in 2020 to ask permission to use their music in a video and they were so nice.
The Dustforce soundtrack is so good, and the Tunic soundtrack does such an amazing job at elevating the game.

You’re taking about bringing a man of control and order into that den of chaos and goblinry? I don’t think Alec would enjoy it.

Denuvo is the only reason I’m waiting. I’m on Linux, and I’m not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.

The worst part about quadlets, IMO, is that they don’t use the same key words as podman run does. So turning a working podman container into a quadlet can be challenging.

I love NMS, and I think it’s a better game than Starfield overall. But they’re extremely different.

All of your criticisms are spot on. The only thing is disagree with is the story. I thought it was alright. Some of the side quests were great, but there weren’t a lot of those.
I really enjoyed the ship building, but it was extremely limited and unbalanced.
I will say the loading screens didn’t bother me, though.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 3 months ago:
I’ve always been a mid-range gamer. When I was younger, that’s just what I could afford. As I’ve grown older, I didn’t see the point of spending more for high end. Mid-range already feels too expensive. But luckily, the parts last for 5 years easily.

Dropping the Windows tax means being able to offer computers for cheaper prices, which is attractive to consumers. Several companies are offering Linux these days.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 3 months ago:
When I was 5 or 6, my grandmother got a NES and three games. One was Crystalis.
Me and my two cousins played the game in turns, and we eventually got to the first boss, which was quite an achievement because there are puzzle elements to the game.
We could not beat this boss. Several years later, I have my own NES and I borrow Crystalis. I’m pretty sure I got to that boss again and realized something. Hitting him produced a sound that no other monster had. It sounded like hitting solid glass. I finally intuited that I wasn’t strong enough and leveled up to level 3, and wouldn’t you know it, I beat the boss.
It’s one of my all time favorite retro games. It was so ahead of its time. Worth playing if you’ve never tried it.
