  • It is. Very atmospheric, and I'm sure there's a whole lot more depth to things like combat and crafting if you're interested.

    For me it's just an easy and accessible story RPG. The text-based dialogue and turn-based mechanics make it ideal for on the road gaming IMO. You can look up from your screen or suspend and drop the Deck into your bag at any point.

    The writing is great and the game feels much, much, much more fluid than the actual old games it is based on. A lot of love and care has been put into this. It's very affordable and the most battery-friendly game I've played. So when you start up your Deck on the train and only have 15% left, this gives you much more enjoyment per battery charge than anything else.

    Full disclosure: I happen to know the artist who did the character art.

  • It's not just about speed, but also (battery) efficiency.

    Even if you don't notice the speed, if you are working on anything but a modern expensive laptop, you will notice the difference in battery draw between:

    VS Code > NeoVim in traditional terminal > Neovim in Alacritty or Ghostty

  • After years of fighting pip and conda, I got a job where "we work with Python but also still have some .NET Framework apps".

    NuGet seemed just as bad.

    People shit on JavaScript (for very good reasons) but npm is amazing compared to all these. You can have one dependency needing PackageX v1 and another dependency needing PackageX v3 and your project will just work!

    A modern statically-linked language with a first-class package manager, like Rust or Go is ideal. No fighting the dependency manager, no issue with deploying on different systems, just "run this binary".

    • They tend to get the sign wrong, or straight up not know it and end every sentence with "or the other way around"
    • their room is a mess
    • they have a soldering iron and a box full of Arduinos/Rasberry Pis/ESPs
    • they have weird hobbies, (or none, because their work is sufficiently shaped like weird hobbies/obsessions)
    • they regularly say "local minimum" and "higher order effects" in casual conversation

    What did I forget?

  • Thanks for your feedback, I was guesstimating off the top of my head. On doing some research, I see meat cows are usually slaughtered at 18 months - 2 years old in the Netherlands.

    5-6 years is the number I see for dairy cows.

  • Of course, something that eats cows that eat a shitton of plastic, will have even more plastic in it.

    But that doesn't mean that it's healthy to eat an animal that has been fed (assuming they are slaughtered at 3 years, and ignoring the climate impact, the ethics of slaughtering an animal in its youth, etc)..

    41 kg of plastic

  • a massively decreased interest in game design as a career.

    This is worth a lot though. It takes many people a few years of their life, a burnout and a lot of mental healthcare to get to this point.

  • Of course we all have our preferences and personal history with these things, but I think we can all agree that most preconfigured Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE ISOs with popular desktops are already more sensible and simple than the mess that is "searching for a setting in Windows".

    Whether it's GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, Budgie, Mate, XFCE, LXQt.

    Compared to Windows, every Linux desktop is a blessing. Even that one that you personally don't like or had a bad experience with.

  • I have been planning on migrating to Proton (I know, wrong community) and this could very well be the year. Just 2 gmail and 1 hotmail address/inbox to migrate but would love to follow the tips given here.

    I have some questions to specify your case:

    • Did you use tags a lot? Did you use them purely as a hierarchy (i.e. could it be mapped to folders) or do you have a lot of crossover between tags?
    • Do you have a custom domain or is the original email on the gmail.com domain and the new one a different address?
  • Does Cold Waters work well on the Deck?

    I've been hoping that the new Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age will work well on the Deck in a year or so, and was planning to stick to Dangerous Waters until then.

    My P-3 (maritime patrol aircraft) bindings are shared on the community bindings already!

    DW runs incredibly efficiently. The graphics look like 1999 anyways, so I just dial the TDP all the way down to 3 W and set FPS to 20. Perfect game when the battery is low!. I haven't modded it at all, I actually like the retro vibe (and the incredible sonar simulation).
