That’s what we call having hundred of untouched games in the steam library. Right?

Think of runback as an unskippable ad. My time is limited, and that’s not the part I enjoy.

No, just those with bad level design. Nine Sols has plenty of challenging boss fights, zero run back. Same with Sekiro, and most newer titles.

How is it compared to HK?

This is the only thing I wanted to know from reviews, for whether or not to bother with Silksong. I love difficult boss fights, but cannot be arsed to spend more than half a minute doing a tedious chore in order to actually redo boss fights.

What a weird take. It’s about respecting the players’ time. Making it through the denizens to the boss is not challenging whatsoever. Why would you think it is? It’s just tedious, and bad level design.

There is no requirement for it, and can be disabled

“Exposure therapy” might be a helpful term for finding literature on this. It’s effective for certain fobias under certain conditions. I’ve only heard about it for anxiety related treatment. Not sure how horror movies would fit in. Best of luck! (ps: not a therapist, but know therapists who make use of it)

Considering that FFI is very much a thing, I’m finding it difficulty to understand the point it’s trying to make.

Have you considered booting up a live USB to try it out?

Microsoft/Windows has a habit of messing up for Linux in despite being on separate partitions. I’ve experienced:

• overwrite existing grub
• write its boot sector on a disk it didn’t identify (was part of a software raid setup… So that was fun)
• acquire a lock on devices and not release it even when restarting, so on Linux the “WiFi adapter suddenly doesn’t work”. -… Probably more.

IMO, try out a live USB. Dual boot if you want. But as soon as you can, ditch windows entirely.

Was looking for someone to point this out. DOGE cuts will be tied to the explanation of thousands of otherwise avoidable deaths

You… can just install the steam client on just about any Linux distro?

Hm. I was thinking of the problem in terms of “what is”, and not so much “what it looks like”. SG-1 is a good example, where the argument is that there is no actual magic. Its “sufficiently advanced = looks like magic” not “… = magic”.

I interpreted the question to consider actual existence of magic. So, I suppose it hinges on how “magic” is actually defined. Where I thought it would be some kind of forces / energy that is manipulated by will or tools. Hm… I suppose this is a lot more nuanced.

Isn’t it always different things? “Magic” being a different set of rules for how the world works. Technology being the things that can be achieved given the rules. And, whether advanced technology is influenced and how, depend on those rules, lore and culture.

If for example magic is only available to some people with the ability or what not. Technology will always be available regardless.

Not to mention that you know that exact typeface and pixel perfect location where letters can be, so it should be relatively easy to go through each possible subsequent character and match the pixelated value.

I got the lifetime pass 5 years ago. I’ve switched to JF because of the disappointment so far about a year ago.

JF is exactly what I wanted and needed plex to be, and everything added since is a worsened product. The lifetime pass was an attempt at getting the peace of mind of “then you just have it”. If anything, only FOSS can give that.

Hm, if it spawns some external process, would it be possible to wrap that in a shell script of the same name (and have its dir earlier in PATH), which in turn calls the other one, but through trickle?

If you’re on Linux, you have a lot more options to affect the system. You could try running Heroic Launcher through trickle: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/34116/how-can-i-limit-the-bandwidth-used-by-a-process

Ideally this would be implemented on the client side, i.e. Heroic Launcher, but there seems to some challenges in making that happen: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/597

What do you mean by natively?

I’m going to give an explanation, without having a single clue as to whether or not is accurate.

Encryption keys can have many layers, baking in different expiration dates. Rotating one might be required without needing to rotate all.
