  It was the same for me, eventually I uncovered too many scenes at once so I was constantly going over the same scenes without progressing, there were too many possibilities and even guessing failed. Perhaps I should just start over.

  I was in a similar boat (heh!) with Outer Wilds, eventually I stopped progressing and gave up, the repetition without discovery wasn’t fun anymore.

  It just makes me feel like I am too stupid for these games? And that’s no fun.

  I was being a bit facetious, thanks for the corrections and insight. Cheers!

  They became a poster child for why you should never “start over from scratch” even if your current codebase is awful. Because when you do that your competitors keep going, then they have years on your now stale product. Netscape lost all on their own…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I liked Fusion 360, I like Onshape - but I'd rather like something that I won't lose over the whims of one company. So, what?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like Fusion 360 runs fine on Linux these days, I don’t know how reliable that is in practice (I would expect not very much).

  OnShape is a great option if the licensing terms are compatible with what you are doing. They used to have similar licensing terms as Fusion 360 where you could still get paid for your work with a free version (i.e. YouTube) but changed the terms to remove this loophole. Fusion still allows this with the Startup license but of course could change their mind at any time, then you’d be out of luck.

  I dislike the lockdown of Fusion 360 but its mental model works with my own (I can’t “get” SolidWorks and never remember how to do anything). Speaking of SolidWorks, they added a reasonably-priced license for DIY/hobbyists, but it’s the same lockdown as Fusion 360 and still Windows only.

  I’m in the same boat as you, just a hobbyist doing this for my own use, I have no interest in becoming an industrial engineer. For now I will keep using Fusion 360, and when that stops being an option I’ll move on to something else. I can whip out models for my prints easily enough and the 10 documents limit is just an annoyance, not a real limitation.

  At the very least whatever you design in Fusion 360 or OnShape won’t be stuck in there, you can export it out via .step files. You lose design history (if applicable) but not the model itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come TurboVPN can have double the amount of downloads compared to NordVPN and ExpresVPN? ++⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the main issue with NordVPN was, good luck trying to close your account once you’ve signed up.

  I don’t really remember, I use another provider and would avoid NordVPN if only due to their aggressive YouTuber push, they must be a scam!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 and local accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the way! I did this recently with a recent Win11 Pro installation.

  This is also the proper way to name the user’s folder yourself instead of letting Microsoft decide. The auto namer often makes poor choices and renaming it breaks a lot of stuff unless you wipe and reinstall.
