I was thinking a pungee pit, but yeah a month is no time at all for that kind of thing. You might be able to bait it into a spike wall if it’s aggressive enough, but it might not be.

Iirc doom was pretty widely pirated at the time, I might double check.

Yeah you’re right. Old habits die hard lmao.

Seems like an over reaction, unless the idea of boning had been brought up and rejected prior. Then it’d probably sting a bit.
- Comment on Has Australia considered sharing a firefighting aircraft fleet with a country in the northern Hemisphere such as Canada? 1 week ago:
cdnfirefighter.com/canada-sends-military-transpor… here’s one from 2020 when my state was pretty much entirely fire. There’s a number of articles from over the years, mainly around really bad fire seasons.

Lack of confidence will do some fucked up things to your brain honestly
- Comment on Has Australia considered sharing a firefighting aircraft fleet with a country in the northern Hemisphere such as Canada? 1 week ago:
Can’t speak for Canadian news, but Australian news gives it a mention every now and then. It’s been going on for so long it’s kind of old news to most at this point.

Possibly. My sympathies as well.

But then how would we spy on people? Think man, think!
- Comment on Australia says platforms like Steam and Roblox have 'significant' child safety gaps 4 weeks ago:
I was going to argue but actually yeah that’s about right. That’s a real shame.

Oh fuck off. You can’t build a foolproof solution and you know it, you’re just asking for more power over our data and I’m so tired of it.

I mean I’m angry about both but yes it’s largely because the last bastion of guaranteed access to something you purchased is being removed.

Samba is indeed an annoyance, at least in the initial setup. In good faith though, does windows just work? Because there’s a habit for windows updates to break file sharing pretty regularly, not to mention permissions issues.
There’s a lot of work people put into windows that they just don’t realise because they’ve been in the ecosystem for that long. Having been on both sides for a bit now, Linux requires a hell of a lot less regular maintenance than windows needed. Sure I’m a power user, but I think that Linux is getting better and better all the time for general users.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
The answer is user awareness, brand loyalty and fear of the unknown. Windows is the devil you know, most of the people I game with are scared of the instability of Linux, despite it being roughly equal if not better.
I think standardizing the user experience, making things less scary and generally more welcoming are major hurdles, but the good news is that should come with time and a larger userbase.

It’s normal to fear death, but constant worry is perhaps excessive. If we’re talking about literally every day, that’s too much.
In a mechanical sense, worry is a motivator for action. You should worry about death somewhat, because that means you avoid dying. Worrying beyond the point of practicality means your life is going to be less enjoyable.
If you can’t leave it alone, like the thought is hounding you, it might be time to visit a mental health professional. Even if you’re still functional, there’s no reason to not improve your living experience where you can. Don’t do that to yourself.
- Comment on Is it even possible to drop 20 lbs in a month? Are there any diets for people who want to go to the extreme? Kind of like celebs do for roles? 3 months ago:
No idea, but any diet that involves weight loss will also need you to quit beer entirely.
- Comment on Unbelievable that Assassin's Creed never won a Game of the Year award 3 months ago:
There’s certainly a good start to the series, but fair warning, most of them are very similar and you can’t really play them one after another without burning yourself out. Still, interesting to see how the series evolves over time.

Tunic!!!

Look I’m mostly in infrastructure and I don’t know much beyond core principles behind software development, I can’t really cast stones. But yeah they can be surprisingly ignorant sometimes.

I think I’m a bit confused and I was probably a bit tired last night. To recap I think they are probably going down the line where eventually you’ll have games removed from your psn profile similar to how they removed the movies from licensing issues. I’m certainly not buying a new console while they are going down that road, no new games I don’t have physical ownership of the media it’s on.
Steam has a history of not removing things that you’ve already bought which I think is crazy important for consumer confidence. PlayStation feels like it’s shooting itself in the foot so hard with this, I have no idea why they think it’s a good idea. I mean obviously short-sighted money bullshit, but you’d think they’d understand the importance of long term planning with their 6th console.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
yes? that’s pretty much what’s going on.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
They totally could but that’s a hell of a line to cross. Not so much the online only stuff, but like literally everything? Why actually buy things at that point?
- Comment on 3 months ago:
They are a physical token of ownership mainly, which is very important as Sony has demonstrated that will happily remove content you’ve bought because licensing ran out. That’s a huge boundary to cross.
