Hell, there are versions of Linux that are designed to be run off a USB stick.

Yeah, it wouldn’t be as steep - therefore less fun

Not only that, but you can’t even use price as a proxy for quality anymore. Choosing to splash out on something you want to last just means you’re going to be more disappointed when it eventually breaks.

After some unfortunate interactions with older coworkers, I’ve started thinking that so many shitty aspects of our work culture exist because working men wanted an excuse to be away from their wives and children.

- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 3 months ago:
While constant current sources exist, they’re very uncommon. A battery’s voltage is constant (or at least we consider it so), but the current it can supply is dependent on the load. In general, we consider current to be a result of voltage, to the extent that some teachers prefer that Ohm’s Law be written as I = V/R (rather than V=IR) to show this relationship more clearly (where I is current, V is voltage and R is resistance).

It’s clearly a feature - the inability to save just enhances Rayman’s incredibly brutal difficulty.

True.
- Comment on Advertisements 3 months ago:
Ads are one of the biggest vectors for malware. Even if the main reason you’re blocking them is just because they’re annoying, it’s one of the best things you can do for online safety. Also, the reason tech companies are collecting every single piece of data they can about you is to serve you more targeted ads - if every ad was blocked, data brokers would have no reason to exist.
If you’re running an OPNSense or PFSense router, put Adguard on it. If you’ve got a Raspberry Pi lying around, install Pihole on it. Stop using Chrome and install UBlock Origin on your new browser. Do your small part to make the internet a safer place, and get shown less advertising to boot.

You mean to tell me that the kind of people who didn’t have to buy one at launch aren’t convinced by a library consisting almost entirely of: games they already own on Switch 1, games available for less money on other platforms, DK Bananza, and MK World?

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 6 months ago:
Side quests are the way to go, the main campaign is not super rewarding
The worst part is that you’re forced to spend at least 1/3 of your time playing grinding out the main campaign. Then you are highly incentivised to spend another 1/3 of your time not playing due to the rest mechanic. That only leaves 1/3 of your time in game for any other tasks, including extra preparation for the main quest. Not to mention the fatigue system which often leaves you unable to do side quests when you have the opportunity.
I’m glad I didn’t get any of the classes with extra lives, to be honest.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 6 months ago:
Luigi’s Mansion 3. At least if you consider 6 years ago recent. It got some really good reviews at the time, and it honestly makes me wonder if we were playing the same game.
I only persisted with the game because it was a birthday gift (and due to the sunk cost fallacy, I suppose), but I think it might be the game I’ve completed that I enjoyed the least. It looks nice, and some of the boss ghost encounters were charming, but the gameplay itself was fairly monotonous since they simplified the ghost catching mechanics from LM1 (I didn’t really play LM2, since it was on 3DS). Gooigi would have been a decent addition, but his puzzles generally just didn’t feel very fleshed out. It felt like they were either “I need two vacuums” or “I can’t fit through this grate”.
Also, I think Nintendo took the criticism that the first game was too short well and truly to heart, because LM3 might be the most filler-stuffed game I’ve ever played. Half the time when you get an elevator button, you get screwed over in some way and have to find it again. And don’t get me started on fucking Poulterkitty, when that little bastard showed up for the second time I legitimately thought about quitting the game there and then. The final boss was awful, too, which left an even more bitter taste in my mouth.
Luigi’s Mansion 3 might be the only game I’ve ever played where I thought “Thank god I don’t have to play that anymore” once I finished it.

The worst part is, in Super Mario 3D Land, at least, if you even see the invincible leaf, it locks you out of getting all the stars on your save file. The game doesn’t even have the courtesy to tell you.

It’s really annoying when you’re dying to instant death pits so changing the difficulty wouldn’t help, though. I’m looking at you, God of War.
