The worst is if you select the windows repair entry, that takes even longer…or a old entry that doesnt have a valid installation behind it…

Is there a reason you are using the þ character instead of th ? I always have to read your comments 2 times because i dont understand it at first. Was just wondering what the purpose is.

I mean as a electrical engineering student who likes to program, building such a system seems like fun but playing with it not so much. If there was a game that was purly made for cheaters with the goal of beating the anticheat without detection i would love to try that. I feel like this could be something like the capture the flag competitions some groups make where you have to hack a website faster than others or break some encryption.

Desstroying other players without effirt is like playing a game in easy mode and i dont get that at all, where is the fun if there is no challenge?

Ok thanks, i quiet like kde but it is very annoying to not be able to copy paste without cleanup.

Wait, is wayland the reason copy paste doesnt work and inserts weird character and brackets all the time?

Shein is the worst of the worst fast fashion. Fuck the big textile companies because they started the trend to buy new clothes all the time for fashion reasons but what is happening is just not sustainable at all. The crap you can buy from shein is mostly artificial textile that is meant to be worn 3 times and then thrown away because the “trend” is over.

And i would still argue that baldurs gate is inherently not as “hard” as a multiplayer game where matchmaking exists. The fact that in games with that, you will only win 50% of your games if it works half decently is something you wont get in a single player game. The game wont get harder on your second playthrough.

Yea but baldurs gate players dont pretend they are gods because they beat the HARDEST game(s)…

I was just making fun of it because all the players i see pretend this is the hardest shit ever. I dont really care if a game is hard or not, you are meant to enjoy it and if someone enjoys this well great but please people dont be so elitist there are plenty games that you arent good in because the gameplayloop doesnt suit the way you learn this game.

I still think that there is a fundemental difference of skill level when it comes to games. The nature of ranked style multiplayer will always mean every enemy will act different every time and strategy evolves. The skill ceilling gets higher with every hour the game exists you dont have that with single player games like this. The enemy you meet at the first playthrough is still the same in your 100th one. If every player did speedruns and only the top 10% would jeek each other off the community would be very quiet.

The community praises the game for being hard and itself for being super skillfull because they beat it. This sentiment is part of the media. If as a community you do that and as developer you make fun of people who dont have enough “skill” you deserve to receive flak and maybe made fun of. If people think the button pressing has to be so perfectly timed they should go to a tekken competition or something and see how that will go when the enemy is a person that can change their moves and also klick buttons fast.

Was saying this about bg.

I dont think this would rule out baldurs gate, yea if you play your 19384728 playthrough and you already know the whole lore, what every dialog option would do and the respective dc what is the skill? In a normal playthrough you have to be generally smart about what you do. You have tons of options you can think of and you can solve problems in a bunch of different ways. Yea if you just do things and if it doesnt work out you reload i dont think there is much “skill” required to beat the game. But i also dont think that baldurs gate would be a game where skill matters. My point is that one is memorizing the awnsers for the test from trying it 300 times and the other is understanding the material so you could write any test without first failing it as soon as you are confronted with a new question…

Yea i get your point, i have to clarify that i ddont think that there is no skill involved but rather that the skill is more on the line of learning a pattern not of making descisions and understanding and adapting. If the music anology is used my point would be that learning sheet music is hard but understanding hoq music works to play together with a few people without giben sheet music is a whole other level. My point is that you dont just remember the pattern but that you have to adapt and no jam session is “the same” as in no other (musical) ülayed just plays the same pattern off notes every time.

I dont really care what is “harder” but i hate the culture in the souls like community where people think they are soo hardcore because they learned the sheet music/boss patterns.

Yea true, but a good part of the souls like people really get high from playing the “”“hardest”“” game. Not dimbing down mechanics is great…for multiplayer so “good” players see that they are better. Giving every player in a fps a aimbot wouldnt be fun, the fact that lots of shooters go further in the direction of less skill ceilling is propably the reason why stuff like arma, tarkov or squad gets players. Dying and getting shit on is as much of the fun in these games as is winning imo.

Yea i understand that at some point but i would argue that there is a lot more to playing a instrument that good then to beating yxz soul.

I dont get why people think the difficulty with souls likes is so cool. It isnt difficult in a sense that you have to think a lot but rather that you memorise what moves the boss has and press your buttons fast enough. In a deep multiplayer game like dota2 or other strategy games you have real people who wont just do what they are programmed to. Heck i would say a auto battler like mechabellum is “harder” because i have to think on what to do… but do what you love…

Yea that is a good idea, i also think that nobody there would bet a eye if you just pirated it if you dont have the money.

I get what you mean but i still think that there isnt a difference. All the “intuitive” stuff on guis is just stuff you learn as you would learn a cli program. The discette for saving isnt intuitive most people have never held one in their hands. Media player keys? Well you dont just know that double vertical bars will pause and triangle will play. People find gui more intuitive because they already spent a lot of time learning it. Once you learn “cli” you will have the same experience when doing something new.

Typing a word into the consome is far from programming. Missclicking on a gui is far easyer than typing a whole other word than you wanted to use.

Building a pc has no bearing on what a programm does or how some software works. With win11 as a tech savy person i alwas struggle to find where to do things that i knew in the old gui. Windows isnt better because of gui. Its just that people always used it and know where stuff is. The next generation of kids that grew up on phones will not know how to do things in windows. Learning a console command is not more difficult than knowing a gui. The only hard part is knowing what program is used for what purpose, if you have no idea that pacman is your package manager you cant write pacman -h for the help text but the same is true with guis, if you dont know the icon for your purpose you cant run it. The biggest problem i see with people is that they just dont want to read something. I have people who were developing apps for/on windows before and if they get a error in the linux console they dont read it at all and just put sudo in front of it or ask chatgpt.

Lol natos war against it? Who attacked again? I thought they had a bunch of tanks and other stuff or is it just nukes now?

But the cheap tools arent really effective are they? The 2 day offensive iss at how many years now? Russian refineries are being struck deep inside their country and russia has lost valuable weapons when olayna was attacked. Russia is in full war economy mode. While fighting against ukraine, so i dont see how the cheap tools are effective. If a little of russias claimed military power was true they would have just invaded ukraine in a few days like they said. Whats happening doesnt make any economic sense for russsia. The amount of monetary damade is so big that not using the big guns to save money is just dumb.

The ssoviet union was always overselling its military capabilety from what russia has accomplished to this point it really seems like they are still doing that.
