Join a choir. The ratio of men to women is very favourable and you’re showing a musical/sensitive side that is generally appealing.

- Comment on Google, Microsoft say Chinese hackers are exploiting SharePoint zero-day 1 week ago:
Ah thank you. I thought zero day and 1 day vulnerabilities were: 0-day = vulnerability is not known to the vendor and so there is no patch. If exploited, it is a 0-day attack. 1-day = vulnerability is known and patch is available, but not all systems are patched.

Indeed. The <“I’m right. There’s plenty of sources that back me up, do your own research” then fail to provide sources> crowd are my personal pet peeve.

I did… It looks like the bug has been exploited for a couple of weeks now, with a patch only being released today? That makes it zero-day

This is a zero-day bug though?

That’s a charitable way of looking at it. A lot of big egos in academia is my first hand experience, so that’s what I jump to.

- Comment on Do Australians in the northern hemisphere celebrate Christmas in July to have a Christmas that reminds them of home? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a good question, I’d be nested to hear their answers. I wouldn’t, the concept of a white Christmas is novel enough to me that I would just celebrate in December and honestly Christmas in cold weather/snow is still in the public conception with the decorations down here. We still put up a tree with snow themed decorations, even though it’s just about the hottest time of the year.
- Comment on Does anyone else find HiFi Rush highly overrated? 2 weeks ago:
It’s the sort of game I think we should praise for those reasons, I agree. I’m definitely in the no-buy camp if a game has a cash shop. The indie game space is where truely high risk creative design is happening, AA is the space for slightly more ambitious titles that require that polish but can still take some risk. I respect Tango for that and definitely think they were done dirty BTW.

There would be lots of ways to make the style meter matter more that didn’t feel too forced.
Maybe you lose health if you’re not on beat, and gain it back for being on beat.
Nerfing move damage if you’ve used the same one too many times could also be a way. I know you get more style for varying your moves so it’s almost there.
Creating intrinsic motivation in the player is a tricky one to pin down. The player needs to be invested themselves to want to do a self-guided goal, almost by definition. Pokemon nailed it by having an anime, banger song, and gambling-adjacent card collection game (all of them being insanely popular) surrounding the gameboy games. That fed into the desire of players to catch em all massively.

Thanks for the recommend. My favourite rhythm game is Sekiro.
- Comment on Does anyone else find HiFi Rush highly overrated? 2 weeks ago:
Fair enough feedback.
I think it’s up to the game designers to motivate certain playstyles. If there was a reason beyond the personal self imposed challenge to attain S rank in every fight, that would be a motivation, but there isn’t a style rank cutoff for completion.
To be more accurate, I refrained from spamming abilities for 90% of the game and did use more than 3 attack combos. But the option to just do that was there. It was not my criticism of the game anyway.
I should say I approached the game with an open mind, maybe a little too hopeful by the hype, and I grew up in the 5th/6th gen of consoles, so understand the game is a PS2 throwback in terms of the design.
Never have I given DMC a fair shake, maybe that’s the kind of audience the game was going for.
Ultimately yeah, I’m saying the game isn’t for me. But I often hear the game in discussions of what the industry is missing in terms of game design, and I don’t think I agree that it’s worth that level of praise.
