I use it to show off me playing on Gentoo.

Fuck EA

It’s almost as if the top comment suggested people don’t forget that or something.

Ubisoft has been shit for a very long time.

I still recoil from the memory of Far Cry 3 dropping in the middle of the game because thier launcher had an issue, three times in one hour. Which reset my progress. Uninstall, never bought shit from them again.

Then what do you do that requires more than 8GB RAM?

Curl is less important in the cloudverse?

Do you use Windows?

What do you do in browser?

At work I would be extremely fine with 8GB, and we use Windows browser apps. Even they would run fine with 4GB of RAM.

So why 16?

I’m not saying every AI company is bad, just the generative ones.

Specially the token models.

We did good things for much cheaper, just because the llmentalist effect everybody rich lost their mind and believes in the AGI from LLMs.

You dense motherfucker.

No LLMs are being developed in the open.

Even provided weights mean nothing.

It’s not knowledge LLMs retain, just the ingressed text.

LLMs should be skipped after confirming that they are indeed a dead end they always were. And the entire world should focus on anything else.

Any benefits are by far outweighted by the cost and dangers.

Tell me more about the value when every LLM company is hemorrhaging money.

Also your scripts will always do what they were meant to do.

LLMs will do whatever.

LLMentalist is a mandatory read.

Stop making LLMs happen, we don’t need energy hungry bullshit generators for anything.

There are so many more important AIs that need attention and funding to help us with real problems.

LLMs won’t solve anything.

All those anti-QoL things are just an inconvenience to me. I get it might help with immersion, so I don’t diss them, but most of those things sound like they can be worked around easily, just very time-consumingly. I think I saw some get fixed gameplay, where people died by flying to space? So you just build a space wall and you’re in vanilla with extra steps. And I hate doing the preps.

Way back in the 2012 maybe I collected every vanilla item, and since then I just enjoy fighting bosses. The rest is hard meh. Slapping extra HP is also just lame.

Calamity did everything correctly, specially the post-ML content, and Infernum changed bosses so well that passing them feels like a real achievement.

One of the hardest things in vanilla now is to accept that those bosses are so much more simple, but so are my options.

I will never forget even Yahron, much less Calamitas on Revengeance in 2020. Played ranger. But it literally took me a week of constant battles to beat Calamitas once. (After that, even with post-Calamitas equip and with duping, I still had trouble killing it.)

But Infernum Queen Slime? Lol, we beat it in team only thanks to respawn items. Infernum bosses are on the top level of crack, and I love it so much. Those battles are so much fun, yet so stressful. Also visually stunning.

Never tried any special vanilla seeds. Are they difficult compared to Infernum? Or if you once start owning Infernum, vanilla is a piece of cake?

Playing with lag sounds awful, and it’s sad it prevents the true experience. So thank you so much for your advice, much appreciated.

Wow, this is an amazing post, thank you very much!

I played through Calamity on Revengeance during covid (took me a week to just kill Calamitas?), then tried a Infernum run with and without friends last year, and I got beat hard. I love Terraria so much, was so happy to discover Calamity, as the content added is top notch, but if there’s modpack for even more content, I’ll definitely find some time to try it.

But dying just 30 times to a boss? Took me about 170 attempts to kill King Slime in Infernum, after reworking my arena multiple times. I’m very bad at the game.

What mods do you use in Terraria?

I tried looking for some surf stuff in csgo, but it was all basic.

Back in 1.6 I played tons of surf maps, some very elaborate and massive, but in go all I could find was at best 10 seconds of basic waves.

I miss those days…

People say a lot of stuff, and I now assume they’ve never tried it.

Gentoo is the best OS I’ve ever tried.

With install script and automatic updates it would be OK for 95% of people.
