Holy Water most likely

If she has a problem with the price that’s still down to her principles being closely FOSS aligned because in her case it certainly is a case of “doesn’t want to pay” versus “can’t pay”

Personally I have complicated feelings about this DLC.

The world design is a 10/10 for me but the rest…

For a start the Open World feels a bit unrewarding. I don’t really have a problem with the abundance of empty space but the rewards you get for exploration feel a bit weak to me. I would have liked a few more weapons in chests and other places instead of Smithing Stone 8 #1241. Case in point: They added 8 new weapon categories but from what I can see barely one of these new categories has more than a single regular weapon in it. Definitely a missed opportunity.

As for the combat it’s fine outside of the bosses. The enemies hit like a truck but once you figure out the gimmicks it’s quite manageable. The bosses however are some of the worst in the entire game. I’m not an outstanding player, I’m not even good. But me being bad is not quite the problem I have with these. The problem I have with these bosses is that they are frustrating. For example the first Dancing Lion Boss has such an arsenal and length of combos that, when coupled with its flowing moveset, I cannot find a reliable gap to exploit. I think I found one only for the boss to switch up the Combo the 3rd time around (not HP related changes) and kill me anyway. Add to that the camera being absolute garbage and it feels like I’m fighting a duo boss. The cooldowns between their combos also are annoyingly uncertain, sometimes you have a gap to heal after a combo and sometimes they start the next combo almost immediately. Now mind you there might be gaps I don’t see but if the only people who can even find the gaps are the top 20% of players then negative reviews will be inevitable.

What makes this entire thing worse is that as soon as you employ spirit summons the entire charade is exposed. The only reason these bosses are “hard” is because they hit you in a relentless torrent of combos. The moment there is any other target to take the heat off of you the difficulty plummets into the core of the planet. Oh and also their pathfinding is absolutely shot, I’ve had multiple cases where Bosses (and regular enemies) got stuck path finding towards me because I was standing on a little pebble or behind a pillar. I think mages are also completely fucked because almost every boss I’ve stumbled upon was in permanent distance closing mode. No or extremely rare walk phases where a mage could fire off a few spells but instead just constant pressure.

I think the Bosses can’t even be easily rebalanced because the problem is not that they are too tanky or deal too much damage, they are imo just terribly designed to where they are too hard when in a 1v1 and too easy in a 2+v1 due to their move-/attacksets. If they rebalance anything maybe the frequency between combos could be tuned a bit but I really don’t think that’s going to change much about how people perceive these bosses.

Oh no you can bet this guy is into Eugenics and refuses to fuck anyone he deems has “inferior genes” without protection

I fear Megumin has discovered the concept of edging…

I also demand moar of this good stuff, like immediately.

Ah well, waiting it is and I guess there’s always the LN

I am so incredibly surprised by this…

Who am I kidding it was clear from the start they were going to do this. It just further proves that:

• they know this shit erodes any semblance of private digital communications down to the bedrock
• this thing being for “the protection of children” is just a front for them to lie it into effect

At this point I cannot take any politician seriously who would vote “yes” to this surveilance law given the blatant malicious intent behind it.

Tbf here it wouldn’t be too wild to imagine that the same company which ripped apart monolithic CPU’s would have workable designs to do the same with GPU’s.

I think they were referencing glue on pizza ring and stuf .like that

Correct me if I’m wrong but if I start a project with a GPL and a custom proprietary license for use at work wouldn’t that also apply to any contributions by 3rd parties later on to that projevt? Afaik only adding or switching licenses with existing 3rd party contributions is difficult without a CLA.

For me anything “private” just means you can’t buy shares publicly. Worker cooperatives would be included in that (since you need to be a worker to own a “share”)

well in this particular case it wouldn’t have mattered, I used the username but the admin in question has their clear name set as the display name (which made the whole “doxxing” claim even funnier to me)

Also the reason why every company that is consistently ‘good’ is run privately. If you answer to nobody but yourself you have a lot more room for long term plans

You agree that tagging the username of a mod (wasn’t even one it was an admin) is doxxing? If so, you’re delusional.

Mod names are visible by default on my instance so if taking a look there and then mentioning the username you see there is doxxing good luck with the rest of your life. You can’t have a system where everyone can easily find out who performed a mod action and then claim you were “doxxed”

To quote the reason why calling out mods by name is forbidden from a previous encounter I had with them: “removed for doxxing”

So yeah I think you’re giving them too much credit here

sadly that won’t stop people from voting for them

Oh they absolutely could and would but they know “solving” it would expose them for the fascists they are (case in point there have been several “isolated cases” of AfD politicians behind closed doors literally demanding migrants be shot at the borders)

I feel your pain, pretty much the same here except the heat is at least dry

Absolutely, the only thing that will ever move the needle significantly is if the average user walks into a store and comes out with a system that has linux already installed.

I hate summer, I dislike shorts and t-shirts being too much clothing for the scorching heat. I also don’t like seeing our dried up husk of a garden despite best attempts to water the damn thing.

I feel like much how OP seems to experience extremely hot summers you get extremely mild ones
