- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 2 days ago:
I’m a huge fan of rogue-lites. I don’t think I’ve come across any meta-progression mechanic that has bothered me as much as you say.
Hades was probably the most jarring example for me. Mirror upgrades made the game significantly easier and there was little chance of a beginner rogue-lite player managing to complete a run without these. Then by the time the mirror upgrades were unlocked then it felt like I needed to rapidly turn up the “heat” to keep the game challenging at all. I can see why they’ve made such a drastic difficulty curve because they’re appealing to a wider audience than normal rogue-lite audiences (Binding of Isaac audiences would never tolerate such hand holding). I’m still fine with that.
I’ve got a bigger problem with abilities/items being locked behind impossible difficulty. Some items I will never unlock in Dead Cells, because I will never be able to do 5BC (got to 4BC max). Same with Enter the Gungeon and beating the final final boss and extra bosses. In those cases I wonder why the devs have made aspects of the game that the majority of the population will never get to engage with. I just download a 100% completed save file when I’ve made all the progress I could have. I think we should be given the option to access all unlocks after 100 or 150 hours of gameplay or some such option.
Overall, I’ve got no problem with the inclusion of meta-progression (or not). If they implement it well and make a fun game, that’s all that matters to me.

If anyone like getting their hands dirty with tinkering, then you can get inspiration from Zac’s YouTube video about modernising an iPod.

I think if Charles Xavier (from X-men) made Cerebro in real life, he would quickly end up burning the building and end up living in a remote cave somewhere.

Into The Breach
It works perfectly with just touch controls. Eden emulator runs the Switch version perfectly on my phone. I hadn’t really played the game properly before (would just die quickly and not know how to proceed). Now I’m starting to get the hang of it and can play it for brief gaps in my day now that it is on my phone.

When there’s a rule that benefits social media sites, then they’re definitely social media. When there are laws to restrict social media sites, “we’re definitely not social media”.

- Comment on Follow this advice for a happier 2026 3 weeks ago:
The rules for social media that work great for me are:
- 75% of the time that I think need to comment, I actually don’t need to say anything. I delete my comment and move on.
- once a comment is made, there will not be any reply to further comments. There’s nothing to gain from a back and forth. I’ve made my point, the other guy has made his point. Move on. The only exception will be purposeful invited discussion (e.g. helping someone with solving a gaming related problem, answering a specific question regarding my home server, etc).

Looking back at this… It was actually Fallout 3 I played. Really loved it. I remember thinking this was the first game I played that really made me feel completely immersed in its world and really made me feel how their world had gone to shit and it’s everyone looking out for themselves. It was so good.

Fallout 4 was the only game I played, but I love the TV show. Might check out some other games myself sometime.

Lack of gaming compatability would be an absolute deal breaker for a hell of a lot of people, so this has been very recent major progress to set the stage for Linux success.

- Comment on How to deal with agression? 5 weeks ago:
You’ll basically be doing self therapy. Worth doing some writing or deep thinking on where this again is coming from. Spreading or hearing podcasts or watching media on the subject tends to help. I would say this needs thinking about in the “cold state” (i.e. when not in heightened emotion and while completely calm and relaxed, but remembering the last undesirable event). Then you can work incrementally on what you can change next time.

Hulking Out! Why You Change When You’re Angry

You can rent anything if you have the money. Private plane, mansion, island, whole cruise ship, super cars, trip to space, trip in a submarine. I’m sure there must even be places that will let you use rent/use old military equipment like driving and possibly firing old tanks, etc.
