  • Regarding the last paragraph, developers have adapted, and now include more complex/obscure secrets meant to be shared by people and solved together. Though of course if players just look things up before even trying then you can’t stop them, but that’s their own fault.

    The modern scourge are dataminers, who will immediately jump to digging through game files and spoil puzzles in the communities trying to solve them. Not all of them will do that, but it only takes one to ruin the fun.

    Also Tunic is an absolute banger of a game, would recommend, just don’t spoil yourself!


  • Worth noting is that you can also get factorio DRM-free on the website, and then downloading mods is locked behind logging in with your account - same as playing multiplayer on online-mode servers. But mods are also just zip files that you can also download from the website (still need to log in and own the game), so same as games with steam workshop, people will share mods same as they share game files.

    If that’s too inconvenient for you to pirate, well, “piracy is a service issue” ;)



  • Despite having Table in the name, FAT isn’t a table, but rather uses a table, and FAT itself is a filesystem. Thus, it’s different from a machine with “machine” being in the name or a number with “number” in the name, and it seems entirely reasonable to refer to the crucial index table in the FAT filesystem as the “FAT table”






  • Ironically, I think Arch might be a better first time distro than CachyOS, because if you’re willing to go through the manual installation process and learn from all the fuckups you’ll make, you can come out of it with the knowledge necessary to manage your install. Though of course I would only recommend it with the warning that your system will be mostly broken for a while and you’d be constantly figuring out and fixing things, so not a good idea if you need your computer working.

    But it does seem like a nice distro for if you already know what you’re doing and want to save time getting things set up (and maybe those performance improvements are significant enough, I’ve seen people give big figures)
