- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 23 hours ago:
When the only difference in difficulty is either by adding more waves of enemies, or giving bosses a bajillion hitpoints.
If I already learned all the game mechanics, and the only scaling is having to repeat them a lot more, that’s poor design.
I dont mean this as much for adjustable difficulty, like easy vs hard mode, but rather in game progression…
- Comment on GDP 1 week ago:
Comparing market cap to gdp is a bit like comparing the size of a cars tires to its top speed - they arent completely unrealted, but definitely not a good basis to use.
- Comment on Looking for a good kindle reader alternative 1 month ago:
I had looked into Kobo, but ultimately Boox won out. Zero proprietary ecosystem, so I can use Calibre to manage everything.
I need to do a bit more work, but totally worth it to be completely DRM free
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 month ago:
Boox is the best. Stock software, NO DRM. Downside is they are more expensive upfront

- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 2 months ago:
You are FAR better off buying a used gaming rig than a mini PC…
Those boxes have heat issues, are not at all user-servicable, and really are only designed as a web browser box.
Great for media players / HTPCs, attrpcious for trying to game on.
Buy a 5 year old gaming system

So very shortly after the reddit API fiasco, when a LOT of people migrated to Lemmy…someone noticed the high percentage of “upvotes” on Lemmy comments. They made a post stating “People on Lemmy will upvote anything.” With a pic of Heinz baked beans. It became, at the time, the most upvoted post on all of Lemmy. Hence, Lemmy has always upvoted beans…

Oh man, you are kinda late to the party, but beans are a Lemmy thing ad infinitum

As an aside, how hard would it be to extract the games 3d assets and make my own STLs of the characters to print?

If its earwax, use hydrogen peroxide on a small swab or wipe. Itll take it right off.

If I have learned anything from my years as a prolific dungeon keeper, it’s that imps are actually very motivated by being slapped.

This, of course, was summarized most eloquently at the zenith of human evoloution: the 1982 hit single by Toto clearly stating, “I bless the rains down in Africa.”
