Yeah. I get it. I'm not really even thinking about it as a Final Fantasy game with a lot of this. My callbacks to FFXIV are because that's an MMO and we expect the concessions in MMOs to repetitive animations and lower tier graphics to allow for the content churn. For a new game to just look and feel like a 10 year old MMO with graphics is kinda rough.
This game feels like they meant to have a ton more and just didn't in the end. Not every game needs an open world but if I do compare it to other FF games, it definitely feels the least open.
I have felt some of the boss fights were really good. I guess I would have just given it a 5 or 6.
I think I'm mostly upset by how much acclaim it's been getting.
I'm a backend engineer. My biggest issue with JavaScript is environments that use it in the backend.
JavaScript is designed to run in a way that continue to try to do things even when it's running in to errors. But it does that because I'm a front end that's what you want. In the front end, working but ugly is better than not working at all. In the backend that can be catastrophic, though.
Generally, I approve of it. RHEL customers should be able to migrate to SEL fairly easily if they want but there would be some caveats in tooling changes based on kernel version.
Having a hard RHEL fork would make that transition easier for customers that want to leave Red Hat.
The open source drama isn't going to be something most Red Hat contract signers care about, though. So SUSE will have make the transition more appealing in other ways.
I have a Darter from System 76 with Pop!_OS as my personal laptop that I code on and I absolutely love it. It runs extremely smoothly and I've not had any crashes with it.
I also have a Lemur from them with Ubuntu for work and it's kinda meh. Is difficult to say what causes the issues I have. It may just be the corporate tools but I end up having hard locks that require a reboot.
If you go with them I strongly suggest Pop! The distro is built for their hardware and works really well.
Hard to say for sure but probably Speed Racer. Dragonball Z is definitely the first one I followed consistently. But Speed Racer would have likely been the first I came across.
It would have been playing on Cartoon Network pre-toonami when I was a kid. Back before the US thought there was any difference in Japanese Animation vs US animation.
Spirited Away is what set me to going out of my way for more. But Toonami gave me Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, .Hack//Sign and Inuyasha while Adult Swim got my Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Wolfs Rain, etc.
I saw Spirited Away in a theater in the mid 2000s and started downloading stuff left and right.
I don't think they blamed people. I think they said the issue is that the systems didn't account for people. That's saying the systems are inadequate solutions for the scenario.
It's like saying an iron rod rusts when placed in salt water because it didn't account for the salt water. The iron rod might be a good design but it's not designed for that use.
I've never heard the term but I would have thought of it more like a "power-user" if you said it to me in passing. Rather than somebody who is power-tripping.
Don't mean to derail but I thought that distinction was interesting.
I'm this particular case, I think there is a lot to criticize.
8GB minimum RAM is a lot of requirement for an OS. It makes Microsoft look like they have forgotten what an OS is supposed to be doing.
The floating taskbar might look nice, but to me it looks like they are trying to mimic MacOS or Gnome3. While there's nothing wrong with that, it does seem like Microsoft is not innovating so much as following.
I think many people are just jaded by Microsoft, though. The last couple of releases have been kinda meh and with them dropping support for older hardware entirely and sunsetting support for Windows 10 soon they are leaving a lot of users out to dry.
As a developer who has to support Windows 11 currently, I find the prospect of Windows 12 replacing 10 to be cause for worry. Windows 11 has been a nightmare to support just due to the API not being idempotent with 10. Queries that work in 10 don't work anymore in 11.
Statements like that are why I tend to follow the idea that any government service should be provided to every citizen equally without exception.
We spend so much money in the US trying to make sure only the "correct" people are receiving things like welfare or Medicaid. If we just dropped the restrictions we'd likely be fairly close to being able to afford covering everybody with those programs.
You all are definitely doing good in my view but I don't think it fair that we'd expect you to spend all of your time moderating literally every aspect of this community.
May I suggest that it just be a community rule that if somebody has a request we just say they should put it in Beehaw Support and let the community engage on the topic to discuss the merits.
If we are all fairly like minded on respecting others and the defederating or bans that have occurred it would seem we could self regulate those discussions and catch people up as a community rather than expecting the moderators to handle every engagement.
You've been transparent on actions that have been taken and why, I think we can handle propagation of that info ourselves at least.
I don't think the advice is that people should ignore small distros but that small distros won't be as beginner friendly.
Really learning to function in Linux involves a lot of searching for what went wrong and being in a larger distro increases the chance that somebody has run into your problem before.
I understand the criticism of Fallout 4 and generally agree but I don't think the New Vegas comparison is a fair one.
New Vegas was built on top of Fallout 3 by Obsidian. It had the benefits of a complete game needing only a few engineering changes to accommodate it. Obsidian didn't have to spend nearly the amount of effort on assets and engine changes that Bethesda did and could put nearly everything into world building.
