I gave Darkest Dungeon a try yesterday and it’s been a lot of fun. I love the whole premise of “getting the best of a bad situation” and learning to pass on with any mistakes and misfortune. Dealing with your inner perfectionist is a valuable skill and this game teaches you just that.

We’ll that doesn’t really work when a toddler and pregnant partner need you all the time…
Oh god. I can imagine that was quite an experience worthy of the best RPG games 😅
- Comment on What have you played this week? 3 months ago:
The first one is Space Warlord Organ Trading similator. It’s a simple game of trading, well, organs, but it has good soundtrack, nice visuals and different storylines that you reveal through doing quests and accepting/declining incoming transmissions. The game sessions could be really short, so the game is very fitting when you don’t know where to spend 10 minutes of your time.
The other one I’ve been playing is Fallout 2. Super good. It has its bad sides and certainly has a feel of an old game, but if you’re an RPG genre fan, definitely give it a try. Although, it requires some level of effort to play it, you can’t just load and start mindlessly doing radiant or other simple quests like in Fallout 4, which is a downer for me when I’m tired after work and want to zone out for an hour or two.
- Comment on Borderlands 2 improved on everything I liked from B1 4 months ago:
The writing is very mediocre. It’s a decent game with better graphics and more gun variety, but dialogues are so bad they annoy people to the point of losing any desire to play further.

Same. I thought about setting up a mirror on Github, just so I wouldn’t run into a situation like that.
- Comment on How do you approach learning a new programming language or framework? 9 months ago:
Get theory from somewhere on the Internet (videos, tutorials etc.), then do exercises on platforms like Exercism. Once you feel like you are getting good at it, start replacing the time for exercises on time with real projects
- Comment on The New Code Editor Zed has a Strong Start, and is now Open Source 9 months ago:
Is it a blunder? Tell that to Apple, Jetbrains, or Microsoft, each of whom have proprietary code editors that net billions of dollars of revenue.
I expected you to say that! The only mentioned company that has a proprietary code editor is Jetbrains with their Fleet. Visual Studio, XCode, most jetbrains products are IDEs.
IDEs are big, bloated products that don’t need hackability because they already come prepackaged with everything. Code editors are different. Developers also like stuff being open source so they can put their trust into it — if everything goes to hell, somebody could fork it, which would save you from the need to find another properietary editor and change your workflow.
Ultimately, who develops OSS doesn’t matter anymore. Even the Linux kernel, the thing that comes to mind to most people when they think of “open source”, is developed by a lot of people working for corporations, on paid positions specifically to develop the kernel.
Instead, consider that making something open source is often just a marketing strategy — or a soft way to sunset a project.
I can’t disagree with that, but my point is that if being an open source code editor is so important, then there is a bigger probability that the team behind Zed are fixing the mistake, rather then sunsetting the software.
- Comment on The New Code Editor Zed has a Strong Start, and is now Open Source 9 months ago:
I am a little concerned that they started off commercial and then went open source. Open source is great! But this path sometimes means that the original developers no longer have the time/money/interest to keep developing it. I hope that’s not the case here because they’ve got the start of something good.
Developing a proprietary code editor is a blunder. The big players in the space are Vim, Emacs and VSCode, all of which are open source, so you can’t outcompete those unless you go open source yourself. Being customisable and source-hackable is the key in making your product being liked by developers, obviously.
My bet is they simply realised the mistake and decided to fix it.

It does because it’s code you have to take into account when adding new features. Basically unnecessary pain in the ass.
- Comment on Is searx got discontinued ? 1 year ago:
Asking the question here allows a conversation to happen, informs others that SearXNG is a thing and provides additional context.
…and all of that is provided in the searx repo, which I linked and, which, as I have said, is easily searchable.
Note that I have never said that asking questions should not be, you made that up.
- Comment on Is searx got discontinued ? 1 year ago:
github.com/searx/searx I don’t like to be the “let me google that for you” guy, but this information is searchible under 30 seconds. There is no point in asking it as a question on a forum
- Comment on Is there any point in using NoScript if you already have uBlock Origin? 1 year ago:
uBlock blocks fingerprinting scripts completely. You can also enable scripts individually with it and thus remove the need for NS, which does the same but less

I use a second browser too, actually. Still, I would like the ease of using the default browser instead of copy-pasting every such URL

- Comment on Rishi Sunak says people ‘can’t be any sex they want to be’ in new swipe at trans community 1 year ago:
Those protests were so big I only found a single article about them. Protesting means doing at the very least what the French were doing. Block roads, wreck havoc,
make transphobes disappear. Raising a big group of people would only work if they were organised and could, ahem, do something to the government.Voting is only impactful to a certain, little, extent, when the government tells LGBTQ community they don’t and/or shouldn’t exist and the plan to fight back is to vote harder then something isn’t right.
- Comment on Rishi Sunak says people ‘can’t be any sex they want to be’ in new swipe at trans community 1 year ago:
Is ignorance a national sport in the West? Organise, rally people, strike, protest, annoy the shit out of lawmakers who threaten you.
Gather a big force that could potentially organise a big riot.
Sun Tzu said:
Subjugating the enemy’s army without fighting is the true pinnacle of excellence.
That means you, most likely, won’t have to actually riot, if they see the community is organised they won’t risk a direct confrontation and would give in to your demands.
There are tons, tons of guides online on how to protest, organise, even how to go full guerilla. Just do not let your existance depend on a freaking vote.

- Comment on Top games for emulator? 1 year ago:
I really liked GTA Vice City Stories, Daxter, Burnout Legends, God of War — Ghost of Sparta and Flatout: Head On. All of those are for PSP, PPSSPP is a really good emulator for the console and its saves are cross-platform.
