  • This is not a contest to be holier than thou. It’s a numbers game.

    EFF stayed on Twitter because it has a larger audience and that means a larger portion of people will see their messaging. In fact, I would argue that the people that are still on Twitter are the ones most in need of seeing those messages. The people that care about what Debian is posting are almost certainly already on Mastadon.



  • It depends on the genre.

    If it’s a single player narrative-driven game, I want your story to be gripping. I want to be thinking about your game even when I’m not playing. Most recently, Expedition 33 is the gold example of this.

    With a multiplayer co-op game, I want to OPTIMIZE. I want to complete goals as though they are all engineering challenges, and I want collaboration on the same axis from the people I’m playing with. Games like Factorio and Satisfactory fill this niche for me, obviously. But I also really like co-op puzzle games like Portal 2 or We Were Here.

    With a multiplayer free-for-all game, I crave chaos. I want to interject enough random chance into a game that it’s basically gambling where you can tip the scales by being a skilled player. Party games and kart racers go here.


  • Why are you looking for the approval of people you haven’t even met yet?

    All those “where are you from, what do you do for a living, what do you do for fun” type questions are just to establish a common ground. You don’t have to take them so seriously.

    And like, you’re already going to share at least one common hobby of being into HAM at the very least. Ask questions, engage in conversation and dont be super introspective about whether your conversation was optimal.





  • It’s the fact that the easier options are bad choices.

    It’s easier to sit around the house than it is to exercise. It’s easier to order pizza than it is to cook something. It’s easier to be ignorant than actually learn and change.

    The easy choice should be the good one. Making a bad choice should take effort.

    I would argue that the Power Rangers are not that odd of a pairing for the Justice League.

    Quality of the work aside, both are superhero teams with complicated lore. They could use that highlight differences/similarities in ideology or methodology between the characters to create drama, before setting aside their differences to come together against a shared evil. The bones of a good superhero story are there.

    Superhero comics are one of those things where I don’t think it’s possible to jump the shark.

    The Justice League itself was kind of an awkward collaboration starting back in the 60s where they brought together a bunch of disparate different comic characters into a shared universe.

    That being said, I think a series has jumped the shark when it becomes entirely unrecognizable from its original iteration to the point of absurdity. You would never expect to see a scene where The Fonz jumps over a shark while water skiing if you only saw the first episode of Happy Days




  • I get what you’re saying, but it’s not really true.

    If the only program you run is a web browser, then you’re probably right, but only because Linux expects you to know how to use your computer and install updates yourself.

    Linux has achieved a very stable OS that offers a very granular experience, which is great if you know what you’re doing, but if you don’t, it’s pretty arcane. The ability to configure everything on your system exactly how you want it to run is a double edged sword.

    If you want anything beyond what is offered out of the box, you’ll need to interact with the terminal at some point, which is a pretty steep learning curve for the average user.
