- Comment on Stardew Valley creator says he might make Stardew Valley 2 3 hours ago:
The slow movement is what kept me from playing it forever. I know there’s mods that improve it, but I wish the base speed would be higher.
Back at 1.0 launch it also had a bug where walking diagonally was even slower, so that may have affected my judgment as well - it was fixed after a week or so.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 7 hours ago:
They could simply have the pals hold on to gliders that the players can use and nothing would change in the gameplay…

Brazil’s “new” plug (two decades maybe) is pretty good. Doesn’t have any of the problems you mentioned. It’s similar to one used by a few other countries around Europe.

Well, search is the one thing that AI is doing somewhat well at least.

B) 60% because I’m generally very lucky.
- Comment on I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people? 6 days ago:
Here it is:
That was a joke due to the English name, but Brazil is actually pretty good at making shows and movies about normal, ordinary people.

Ah, shit, I forgot she actually specified “take that flight” in it.
(my comment was supposed to be only a joke, but yeah it doesn’t work as I had intended)

The examples in the song are ironic, she just does not include enough details to clarify it. For example, an old man was afraid to fly so he took the train instead. And an unrelated plane crashed into it, killing him. He died on a plane crash due to avoiding planes. Ironic as fuck.

Friends of Mineral Town is a good remake of one of the most beloved entry in the series.

Have you played any of the harvest moon / story of seasons games? It’s the series that inspired Stardew Valley. Most of them are, in general, much more chill than even Stardew itself. There are a bunch of them on steam (on there, look only for the story of seasons games and ignore the ones named Harvest Moon)

I’m surprised nobody has done yet as I’ve seen all sorts of features be added to earphone cases. Maybe a decent touchscreen is not yet cheap enough to throw at some case without the profit margin of the apple brand.
- Comment on Anon studies Buddhism 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. Personally I don’t see life as being “sacred” or anything and I think people should ultimately be free to choose to end their own if they really want to (provided they also get good support for trying to deal with whatever leads to that choice) - but it kinda scares me that this “sanctity” that is attributed to life is the only thing stopping people from being casually OK with murder.
- Comment on Anon studies Buddhism 2 weeks ago:
Buddhism’s “Life sucks? Be nice and die and you’ll get a better one” sucks but it’s still better than “you should be nice to others, but that’s too much to ask so go be as awful as you want and just regret it later and that’ll be fine”. But even that was better than whatever the fuck people are interpreting from religions these days.

The sub-conscious processes of our brain tend to not use any language. Dreams and thoughts may be translated into some regular language for some people but not everyone and when it does the language picked might have more to do with the content of what is being shown than the person’s proficiency in the language.
- Comment on Which Browser Should I Use In 2025? 3 weeks ago:
I’m enjoying Zen browser in general but still facing several issues with it from time to time. Nothing major, just small nuisanses here and there.
I use it alongside Vivaldi since I often have to be logged in into two different sessions for the same site and it’s just easier to have two browsers for that. Vivaldi is a lot more stable and so I use it as the main browser - but everytime it updates I need to modify a JS file to tweak something in the UI to make it the way I like it to be. When using vertical tabs + tab groups + two layers of tabs (one sidebar showing the tab groups and a second sidebar showing the tabs inside the selected group), the maximum tab width is applied to both sidebars together instead of individually, so I modify the JS file to double that max width. I’ve automated it by now but it still annoys me that I keep having to do this.
But I think Vivaldi is probably the only browser that even has the ability to show tabs in that way, so I can’t complain that much.
- Comment on John Oliver faces defamation lawsuit from US healthcare medical director 4 weeks ago:
At best, I can read it as:
“Look, my job is to treat people, not clean them. I ain’t wiping your ass unless it is a health hazard”
But that’s not really any better.
- Comment on Turns out you have corporate greed to thank for the existence of Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system 1 month ago:
Eh, any game can pick up the good parts of the nemesis system and change it just enough to not be a 100% match of the patent and they’ll probably never be sued for it.

Both the country and the bird are spelled Peru, no ú in either.
- Comment on Bazzite Linux announced two new editions designed for game developers 1 month ago:
I recently replaced windows by Bazzite and I’m really impressed by how smooth everything is. I’m even considering replacing my work distro with it as well, because I don’t remember ever having such a good experience with any other Linux distro before.

There’s a movie trilogy about Musashi? How come I never heard about it before?

Check out Going Medieval. Doesn’t have everything DF has, but it’s something.

Getting a bit tired of KCD2 by now, not sure what to play next. Might be doing some gamedev for a while instead.
- Comment on The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever 2 months ago:
I find it most useful as a means of getting answers for stuff that have poor documentation. A couple weeks ago chatgpt gave me an answer whose keyword had no matches on Google at all. No idea where it took that from (probably some private codebase), but it worked.
- Comment on Are modern Final Fantasy games bad? 2 months ago:
Squaresoft games were so good that there was a weird full decade there where the name Square Enix still managed to get me interested into checking out games, but the games themselves never did. Eventually this too died out and I finally don’t care at all about square anymore.

Even back then, the largest a forum became the less likely it was for trolls to starve in it. What we’re seeing is just the continuation of that.
- Comment on Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds 3 months ago:
And to think that this all started because Gabe was afraid that microsoft’s “app store” would hurt Steam so he decided to fully embrace Linux to in preparation. I bet not even Gabe expected back then that the situation would be as it is today.
- Comment on Learning a new language is easy! 3 months ago:
I gave up on duolingo very quickly because it had a ton of clearly wrong stuff too. Drops and Rosetta Stone have much better content for learning German.
