  We had an IT teacher for a whole year.

  A great guy, really understood the basics, and could explain it well.

  He left after the first year. To work for a corp.

  Dying is kind of a permanent problem.

  All those anti-QoL things are just an inconvenience to me. I get it might help with immersion, so I don’t diss them, but most of those things sound like they can be worked around easily, just very time-consumingly. I think I saw some get fixed gameplay, where people died by flying to space? So you just build a space wall and you’re in vanilla with extra steps. And I hate doing the preps.

  Way back in the 2012 maybe I collected every vanilla item, and since then I just enjoy fighting bosses. The rest is hard meh. Slapping extra HP is also just lame.

  Calamity did everything correctly, specially the post-ML content, and Infernum changed bosses so well that passing them feels like a real achievement.

  One of the hardest things in vanilla now is to accept that those bosses are so much more simple, but so are my options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I will never forget even Yahron, much less Calamitas on Revengeance in 2020. Played ranger. But it literally took me a week of constant battles to beat Calamitas once. (After that, even with post-Calamitas equip and with duping, I still had trouble killing it.)

  But Infernum Queen Slime? Lol, we beat it in team only thanks to respawn items. Infernum bosses are on the top level of crack, and I love it so much. Those battles are so much fun, yet so stressful. Also visually stunning.

  Never tried any special vanilla seeds. Are they difficult compared to Infernum? Or if you once start owning Infernum, vanilla is a piece of cake?

  Playing with lag sounds awful, and it’s sad it prevents the true experience. So thank you so much for your advice, much appreciated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, this is an amazing post, thank you very much!

  I played through Calamity on Revengeance during covid (took me a week to kill Calamitas?), then tried a Infernum run with and without friends last year, and I got beat hard. I love Terraria so much, was so happy to discover Calamity, as the content added is top notch, but if there’s modpack for even more content, I’ll definitely find some time to try it.

  But dying just 30 times to a boss? Took me about 170 attempts to kill King Slime in Infernum, after reworking my arena multiple times. I’m very bad at the game.

  I tried looking for some surf stuff in csgo, but it was all basic.

  Back in 1.6 I played tons of surf maps, some very elaborate and massive, but in go all I could find was at best 10 seconds of basic waves.

  I miss those days…

  In building specifically, I only played OpenTTD and Dwarf Fortress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨His message touched me. I feel no empathy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying everything can be ranked. There is a gray zone, there is an acceptable zone, and there is a line, which always must exist, and when anyone crosses it, they must be removed from society.

  That’s why we have justice system.

  Preaching hate on innocents is not legally forbidden (well, depends on the country), but it is morally wrong.
