Changed it 🤷 I’ve no idea why I decided to abbreviate there at all.

If corporations are to be considered people they should have to have shins or something to kick them in!

Am tired of hearing about Ninty attacking everyone who even thinks about fun outside of their discrete products.

I think I’m using this right…? 😸

I’m taking this as an opportunity to illuminate issues with particular games, since… well, play on easy if you wanna, naturally. So, for my recommendation: If you don’t use the mod that makes all weapons very dangerous, Mass Effect Andromeda. Without a mod to speed it up a lot, every fight becomes ages of tedium. There’s one weapon that can be made any good and even that doesn’t make fights bearable. You’re basically sitting for like ten minutes at a time hosing down foes with off-brand Super Soakers until they get frustrated and leave. It’s quite bad. Just play it on easy. Not just easy, the easiest easy. Whatever the lowest difficulty is, pick that one. There’s just no point in anything higher unless you’ve got infinite patience. And ammo. Bleeegh.

So, generally I play things on easier difficulties when I feel like anything higher will get tedious rather than interesting. The Mass Effect trilogy, I play on the maximum difficulty because that adds a bunch of mechanics that give me more to work around. Fighting armoured enemies should be done differently from fights against shielded enemies, that sort of thing. Enemies become more dangerous when they’re not shut down so there’s that encouragement to get them figured out before they bring out the scary attacks. Some games just increase health amounts, which… okay, just shoot them more? 😴 Boring.

tl;dr: Games like Mass Effect Andromeda where difficulty settings only increase tedium. Am never gonna want to crank up the tedium setting.

Not knowing how these things normally work I’d just kindof assumed it was generally polite if not outright agreed upon that one doesn’t leave weapons sitting pointed at one’s neighbours 🤔 🤷 Maybe I think too much of hunams 😅

Woo, maybe Shrine Wars will be coming out soonish!

… Har har! 'Used to love that game 😅

Wow, I’d no idea it was something like that. Had assumed it was some technical direction complaint where Hyprland couldn’t go where its leadership wanted because of how wlroots was being made… nooope!

re-rewrite Okay I’ve done more looking and according to Vaxry there are technical reasons. Just… no one’s talking about them. It’s just “ooooh 🤤 wow so impressive rewriting wlroots!” and a little bit of back-and-forth over, basically, whether Hyprland’s community is full of bigots or just likes keeping its fruit cold (see: freeze peach). Very weird situation, in terms of this news. I’d expect to see discussion of the merits of this change (which, again, Vaxry did… if you go find that blog post!). 🤷

tl;dr: Looks like Vaxry wanted to replace wlroots for tech reasons and does not interact with hunams well. Hyprland community probably crap, probably why FreeDesktop kicked him. 🤷

wanders off very shruggily

Okay, but why?
