An important part is to make sure all the innards you don’t use find their way back into the water. While the shells can be useful, the innards are absolutely vital to many species.

I love the way they handled this in Doom Eternal - 6 out of your 7 basic weapons are matched in pairs, so you have 4 ammo types, but very low max ammo count for all of them. Instead you can pretty easily refill your ammo every ~20 seconds (using your chainsaw on an enemy drops ammo, and your chainsaw regens one fuel every ~20 seconds).
This means you never have an incentive to use weak weapons, EXCEPT for if you’re waiting for your fuel to regen. What makes it work is that your “weak weapons” changes depending on the enemies, as every enemy has at least one weakpoint for one of your weapons.
So instead of making you play cautiously and conservatively, Eternal wants you to always use your best weapons and to aggressively push forward. This type of gameplay isn’t for everyone, but as someone who usually ends their games with almost all items because “I might need them later!”, Eternal really allowed me to just have fun with all the best stuff it has to offer.

Nazis were efficient; that was literally the point.
No, they weren’t particularly efficient. In many cases they were bumbling idiots that got really, really lucky - just like the current US administration.

- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 4 weeks ago:
I switched to LibreWolf when the privacy policy fiasco happened a while ago. It’s funny how every few weeks Mozilla manages to demonstrate why I won’t switch back.
The new CEO has also already lost me with this gem:
He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission.
Even taking the statement at face value, it’s unacceptable for it to just “feel off-mission”. It should be a clear “no, never” instead of some wishy-washy answer.
But reading between the lines, such a statement is not just an off-the-cuff remark, but at best a threat to their users, and at worst a way to gauge the blowback of such a decision. They must have already taken it seriously enough to come up with the $150 million.
If I had to put up a number, I’d guess there’s a 25+% chance that Firefox will drop Manifest V2 in the next few years.

Then I’ll hold off on adding even more to the pile, but I can definitely recommend Lies of P.
Oh man, brace yourself! Dispatch is amazing. Came out of nowhere for me, and blew me away!
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 5 weeks ago:
Silksong - I had hyped myself up way too much, yet it still delivered. Absolute masterpiece.
Dispatch - I finally understand why people enjoyed Telltale games so much. The writing is great, the characters are interesting, just all around a great experience.
Lies of P - Overture - I finally finished Lies of P & played Overture a few weeks back, after dropping off the game twice in the last years. Wow, that was great! And honestly more emotional than I’d expected.
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t wanna hype you up too much - but I’d been looking forward to playing Silksong almost since it was announced and had very high expectations, and it did not disappoint!

Are you talking about 30cm traffic cones? Unfortunately I don’t ever see them used since they’re not allowed for any real work. The smallest I can try are 50cm, but that’s pretty big already.

I’ve never seen them in real life, so I have no idea if they actually taste bad.
- Comment on Does Shuzku / wireless debugging demand a trusted wifi device? 1 month ago:
it follows that a malicious wifi modem, knowing all devices’ mac addresses, could, perhaps, feign being the phone, mac-wise. And issue its own commands, which the phone wouldn’t tell aren’t its own.
I just tested some scenarios:
- I start Shizuku in one wifi network (prompt to trust the network, then I had to enter the pairing code since I hadn’t used it before)
- Then switch wifi networks
- Shizuku was immediately disconnected
- When I press “Start” again in Shizuku, I get prompted to trust the network
- Then I switch back
- Shizuku stays running
- Then I disabled Wifi
- Shizuku stays running
- Then I disabled mobile data
- Shizuku stays running
- Then I stop Shizuku & press “Start” again
- It asks me to enable wireless debugging, and that enables wifi
So you’re safe as long as you don’t start Shizuku & trust the network while connected to a potentially malicious network.
- Comment on Does Shuzku / wireless debugging demand a trusted wifi device? 1 month ago:
Ah, sorry, seems like I was wrong on the whole “no network connection needed”, but the reason is the explanation for your question!
The only way for your phone to recognize/authenticate the source of an incoming ADB connection is the MAC address. Basically every device that sends/receives ethernet packets has to have a unique “fingerprint”, so everyone knows it’s still the same device if it disconnects & reconnects etc. Everything else (IP address etc.) can change at any time, so the MAC address is the only fingerprint available.
But devices can spoof (change) their MAC address. That’s a really useful feature in many cases, e.g. phones these days use a random MAC for every new network, so a network provider can’t track you moving through multiple different networks. Also there’s no way to prevent it with our current network design. But this means that a malicious actor could wait for your trusted device to disconnect, then change their MAC to the one from your trusted device, and thus send malicious ADB commands.
Androids solution is to make you trust both the network and the device. So as long as you don’t have malicious actors in your trusted network, you’re safe - even if you connect to a different network with malicious actors, they can’t send ADB commands.
