“Games as a service” are by design never really finished, right? If you are cool with that, go for it. I have never personally tried one.
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th. 1 month ago:
As an illustration, grab an endgame save from 1.0 and open it up in a modern version of the game. The moment you step out of the door, you will be greeted with a series of cutscenes/dialogs explaining several of the various game mechanics that were added in the versions since 1.0. These are game mechanics that, if they had been part of the game from the start, would have greatly altered how one would have chosen to play and reach endgame. One may have prioritized different crops, events, upgrades, relationships, decorations, etc.
Stardew Valley is absolutely worth the money, and the content updates definitely make it even more of a bargain. But calling the transition from 1.0 to 1.6+ “minor adjustments to gameplay” is disingenuous.
I just miss the days when games were complete upon release.

What would you call it? Live service does not really fit
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th. 1 month ago:
My issue with Stardew Valley content updates is that they change how the game works. It is not just adding extra postgame missions or something. The content updates tend to fundamentally change how some things work. Your possible/preferred routes to reach endgame today are much different than they were in 2016. It makes it feel like perpetual Early Access.
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th. 1 month ago:
Game changing updates like this every so often that make you feel like it is an unfinished game still in early access. You may as well just wait until it is finished to actually start playing.

- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 1 month ago:
Wow, that is the opposite of my experience. I have only had problems with the power button fingerprint readers. My last three phones have used in-display readers, and that has been so much more reliable for me.
I do still use my Pixel Tablet, which uses a power button fingerprint reader for some reason, and I am constantly fighting with it.

- Comment on Is there a difference in meaning between the words *people* and *persons*? 2 months ago:
“People” refers to a group of humans as a unit. “Persons” also refers to a group, but puts emphasis on the individuality of the humans in the group.

Yeah, Kevin Smith.
- Comment on More office software abuse: "On The Turing Completeness of PowerPoint (SIGBOVIK)" 2 months ago:
I do the same at work just because we don’t get an image editor, and PowerPoint can just do some things better than any other tool that I do have at my disposal.
- Comment on Just out of curiousity can we get like a spoiler tag? Or do we just put it in the title? 2 months ago:
Correct. To get around that limitation, I have seen people mark a post as NSFW and then include in the title something along the lines of “(NSFW for spoilers only)”. Obviously this is far from ideal, as some people block all NSFW posts, and some others set NSFW posts to not be blurred at all.
- Comment on Just out of curiousity can we get like a spoiler tag? Or do we just put it in the title? 2 months ago:
They want to mark an entire post as a spoiler. Not a comment. Useful if you want to post something like an image that contains spoilers, so that image shows up blurred in everyone’s feed until the user manually clicks the button to unblur it.
- Comment on How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase? 2 months ago:
Sony has a much better implementation in the PS5 controller, nothing outside Sony published games use it though - but it’s compatible on Windows with additional drivers (DS4Win) (not sure about Linux here)
It also does not work wirelessly. The controller itself obviously does, but you will not experience the fancy haptic features unless the controller is connected via USB.

X/Y are also swapped.

Is a basic mini PC with similar specs much cheaper? I am out of the loop.

- Comment on Dead Cells receives its final major update today, seven years after release 2 months ago:
My issue with Stardew-Valley-type content updates is that they change how the game works. It is not just adding extra post-game missions or something. The content updates tend to fundamentally change how some things work. Your possible/preferred routes to reach endgame today are much different than they were in 2016. It makes it feel like perpetual Early Access.
- Comment on Dead Cells receives its final major update today, seven years after release 2 months ago:
I am becoming the same way. Maybe I am just old, but I miss the days of buying something and having a finished product. Instead, we have games like this and Stardew Valley that release in an incomplete state and are still receiving major content updates almost a decade later.
- Comment on Tron/Nine Inch Nails Music Video Trailer (a student project from 2011) 3 months ago:
I would absolutely not second guess anything if it was “Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross” scoring this, since that has been how all their previous scores have been attributed. But this is being intentionally marketed as “Nine Inch Nails” doing the score for TRON, so I am unsure what to think. I know it is technically the same people, and their Ghosts work under NIN is rather similar to their scoring work, but I wonder how well it will fit with TRON. Perhaps this new film is going to be less “clean and pristine” than the previous films and instead go for a more grimy industrial aesthetic.

- Comment on Absolutely deranged 4 months ago:
In my experience, mini USB was more robust than micro USB. Micro USB ports would wear out for me more quickly. Is there any benefit to micro over mini other than the fact that it is a bit smaller?
