  • There are lots of other ways for progression instead of inflicting more damage because of some numbers.

    I think of:

    • Just getting better at jumping/slashing/tactics

    • Having limited gear that you have to switch out or improve throughout the story

    • Gaining new abilities or allies

    And just that if you keep “improving” and inflicting more damage and have higher defense, at the same time the opponents become stronger, it would have been the exact same difficulty level if the numbers just stayed the same.


  • If you cannot complete a task cause you aren’t strong enough, you have to either grind for exp or get better gear by collecting pointless objects and doing the list based crafting.

    These things have nothing to do with any story progression and just suck up time and that’s the point of the meme. You can perfectly design a game that uses less lazy ways of giving players a rewarding feeling that don’t hold off the story line or take loads of time.

    There is nothing wrong with gamers that want to have this, it’s that every game that goes this route is not for a lot of casual games so it’s not nice that almost every rpg goes this route.

    Why I’m dragging pay to win into this, I don’t know. Frustration with current generation games probably 😆 Also that they want you to spend lots of time in the game so you would spend more money in it, while I want to just play 1-2 hours and have a nice experience and story.











  • If they need permission for third party cookies and those are now no longer possible, the popups can go already.

    And if a site doesn’t want to serve people that do not accept data hoarding, an account with terms and conditions is the only logical way to go.

    Belgium forced facebook to not track users without an account and they reacted by doing this exact thing (requiring an account to even read pages). It made it a lot easier for me to not having to deal with Facebook at all. If some store or organization only had the info on Facebook, I’ll just tell them I can’t access it 🤷‍♂️


  • Other package managers, like nuget, throw errors if all dependencies on a package cannot be met by a single version.

    This is probably the result of it copying all libraries in the same output directory and that .net cannot load 2 different versions of the same library so more an application restriction.

    The downside of this is that packages often can’t use newer features if they want to not block the users of that library and that utility libraries have to have his backwards compatibility so applications can use the latest version while dependent libraries target an older version. Often applications keep using older versions with known security issues.



  • I use it to open the spell checker options while I’m typing. It’s annoying to have to switch from keyboard to mouse. My current laptop doesn’t have the key and I even added another short key.

    The super key, again, is useful so you don’t have to switch between keyboard and mouse when searching for an app. It is also the modifier for all GUI shortcuts.
