Democracy, obviously. No it doesn't change if I'm the dictator.

Why is this so fried

So in other words you had nothing to add to what we were actually talking about and decided you wanted to talk about something else instead?

You're totally entitled to prefer stories and worlds that are grounded in realism - others enjoy reading stories that are flying high in fantasy far from the places we could ever hope to explore in our universe or anything that follows its rules. Absolutely not a defense of harry potter for what its worth, fuck jkr and everything she makes. But there's such a wealth of stories to be told that don't follow our rules, and many magic systems do follow hard and fast rules, they just don't happen to be the ones we follow in our world.

Nobody said there shouldn't be consequences, but they have been labeled as terrorists, which is not a fair or correct response.

Nothing they did makes them terrorists, no matter what you think of the action they took

I have to assume that there's some kind of wilful ignorance going on because these kinds of products exist at the high and low end of the market

Though I agree with your ETA.

Examples of products that fit this edgelord epic gamerz aesthetic:

Noteworthy that it is not the presence of rgb that makes these fit the bill, though it is usually present. Its the hyper angular, edgy, kitschy nonsense

Why is almost everyone in this thread just talking about rgb? The OP directly says that this isn't about rgb

I hate the gamer aesthetic, and I won't buy a product that adheres to it (unless its an internal component for my PC because i have an opaque case anyway). Rgb lighting can be nice in moderation, as long as it is truly customisable.

It really is hard to rewire when you've been brought up in a world that didn't care - and like, honestly good on you for even reflecting in this way. Thanks for learning things and having empathy and compassion ;P

I'm trying my best to dive back into the past and play all the gems that I missed as a kid because I was either born too late or too much of a kid to consider playing them. I found myself really disappointed going back to the old mario nes/snes titles because they felt really bad to play as I've become accustomed to modern platformer design sensibilities (like coyote time and responsive movement).

Are there any oldies+goldies that have stood up to the test of time and not shown their age in the same way? Or are so good that they're worth playing despite showing their age? Preferably avoiding racing, sports, and final fantasy-esque titles. Not really interested in anything more recent than PS2 era either.

I already have Earthbound in my sights as it isn't one I've played before but it comes highly recommended.

 

I'm very, very new to nix and nixOS both - I come from imperative workflows and very very rarely anything determinative, so this is all brand new to me.

As an example of the kind of thing I don't understand how to do, let's take an example repo I've been bouncing off: https://github.com/GideonWolfe/Chameleon

On a "normal" system, I can get pip and python ready, and then make install and I'm off to the races.

With NixOS, I've got as far as adding python3 and gnumake to my configuration.nix packages. (I have also discovered that putting python in my system packages was the wrong move, so some advice on how better to go about this would be cool too.)

I can't for the life of me wrap my head around what I'm supposed to do, and so many people online are using flakes but I'm on stable 23.11 (and quite daunted by flakes) so I'd prefer if this was from that POV.

Can anyone speak to any of these points? I've tried reading the docs but it's very confusing for some reason.

 

Has something happened? I made 3 posts and a few comments late yesterday and they're all gone today (but still appear on the federated instances I posted them to)

This route hits

Greater: 10 (11 with meta)
Lesser:  5 max, call it 2.5 on average
Foxes:   8 max, depends if you are fast enough for 1 of them

on average this is 10*8.5 + 2.5*5 + 8*2 = 113.5 coins per day

This route tags: 2 Greater Arcane Chests (7-10 coins/ea) 0-1 Lesser Arcane Chests (4-6 coins/ea) 6 Fox Chests (1-3 coins/ea)

Averaging at ~30 coins per day (17-18 if you cut out the fox chests)

Additionally, there's an extra Lesser chest you can grab on the rocky hill at the beginning.
