Think of runback as an unskippable ad. My time is limited, and that’s not the part I enjoy.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 6 days ago:
No, just those with bad level design. Nine Sols has plenty of challenging boss fights, zero run back. Same with Sekiro, and most newer titles.

How is it compared to HK?
This is the only thing I wanted to know from reviews, for whether or not to bother with Silksong. I love difficult boss fights, but cannot be arsed to spend more than half a minute doing a tedious chore in order to actually redo boss fights.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 6 days ago:
What a weird take. It’s about respecting the players’ time. Making it through the denizens to the boss is not challenging whatsoever. Why would you think it is? It’s just tedious, and bad level design.

There is no requirement for it, and can be disabled
- Comment on Is playing horror games a good way to get desensitized to fear, or it gonna backfire and make my anxiety worse? 2 weeks ago:
“Exposure therapy” might be a helpful term for finding literature on this. It’s effective for certain fobias under certain conditions. I’ve only heard about it for anxiety related treatment. Not sure how horror movies would fit in. Best of luck! (ps: not a therapist, but know therapists who make use of it)

Have you considered booting up a live USB to try it out?
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 3 months ago:
Hm. I was thinking of the problem in terms of “what is”, and not so much “what it looks like”. SG-1 is a good example, where the argument is that there is no actual magic. Its “sufficiently advanced = looks like magic” not “… = magic”.
I interpreted the question to consider actual existence of magic. So, I suppose it hinges on how “magic” is actually defined. Where I thought it would be some kind of forces / manipulation of energy that is manipulated by will or tools. Hm… I suppose this is a lot more nuanced.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 3 months ago:
Isn’t it always different things? “Magic” being a different set of rules for how the world works. Technology being the things that can be achieved given the rules. And, whether advanced technology is influenced and how, depend on those rules.
If for example magic is only available to some people with the ability or what not. Technology will always be available regardless.

Yeh. No fault of course in of itself tho. Gimp developers have tried to make something, but it just hasn’t materialised in the same way as Blender. Kudos for trying.
- Comment on Tools to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin? 5 months ago:
I got the lifetime pass 5 years ago. I’ve switched to JF because of the disappointment so far about a year ago.
JF is exactly what I wanted and needed plex to be, and everything added since is a worsened product. The lifetime pass was an attempt at getting the peace of mind of “then you just have it”. If anything, only FOSS can give that.

I’m going to give an explanation, without having a single clue as to whether or not is accurate.
Encryption keys can have many layers, baking in different expiration dates. Rotating one might be required without needing to rotate all.
- Comment on Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds 6 months ago:
MH: World is the only MH game I tried, out of curiosity. It ended up on my library at some point as a PS+ game. Got through the initial “story” thing, if you can call it that. The tutorial. Getting to the camp. The mandatory chat with 10 different people. Did the first real “hunt”.
It seemed to mind bogglingly boring, that after that mission, I just uninstalled the game.
Wilds looks amazing. Which makes me wonder if the games are sufficiently different that it might be worth give it a chance.

Is realist an nihilist all that much different than a slightly different point of view of the same scenery?

That is indeed the joke.

It’s not the same thing? Emulation of older consoles improve and mod the experience.
