Like in school when you hit the bully back and get suspended.

“Warum tun menschen einem schlimme Dinge an? Weil man es zulässt.”

Sometimes the only decision is dying kneeling or dying standing.

You don’t need to invest an afternoon because Kali exists.

The point ist that you can’t do it yourself, the point is to get something running quick without much hassle.

I can see your point. Other have sad that it should follow the horsearmor pattern. Which would make it a guess like “I wonder if I can use this animal part like the other animal parts which fill the same role.”

That way you could formulate an educated guess and be happy when it turns out right.

How is it bad that you have to figure something out in a game?

PC gaming wiki?

As the point of soulslikes is to overcome challenge, looking for something beginner friendly or easy is, in my opinion, not the right approach.

Play the fromsoft games in chronological order and skip the numbers entries if you are not interested in the stories.

So: Deamon’s souls -> dark souls -> bloodborne -> sekiro -> elden ring

Dark souls 2 wasn’t that great and has a lot of issues but it tried new stuff which I respect. Still wouldn’t recommend it.

Dark souls 3 was darks souls best of which made it a disappointment for me. You kinda know what will happen next and there wasn’t that much mystery because of that.

Of course I did. I just didn’t made the connection that they where the reason for me not getting into bios.

I had the same problem on my laptop not being able to get into the bios. Turns out the reason is that the f-keys (f-1 to f-12) where not registered as such on boot.

They are also the keys for volume and brightness etc. So when I pressed f-11 on boot it registered it as “Brightness up” and not “f-11”.

The solution was to press “fn” + “f-11”. Then it registered as the correct key.

You have the option to toggle the default on that. So that you press f-11 and it registers it as such and “brightness up” is “fn” + "f-11).

For me that toggle was “fn” + “esc”. There also was a lock symbol on ESC so if ESC doesn’t work search for the key which has a lock on it.

That toggle was also an option in the bios.

So yeah, wasted an embarrassing amount of time figuring that out.

You learn by using it.

Which means you want to do something on Linux. You don’t know how to do it, then you ask or search for the answer and then you know.

Just be patient and it will come naturally.

The intended experience is to overcome seemingly insurmountable situations. That can be through brute force (just dodging, attacking) or through deduction (there is a item which kills a boss in 4 hits).

It is about catharsis.

You don’t need to have the best reflexes, you need to be involved in the game/world. And that seems to be the problem with people, they don’t want that.

It is not about the experience, it is about finishing it. Else I can’t explain what “I don’t have time for that means”

Like saying I don’t have time to read animal farm so I just read the cliffnotes. It is completely absurd because you take time for that other wise you would be missing out on nuance.

Not everything has to be for anybody. But saying “makes this more for people who didn’t like it in the first place” is just entitled and rude.

There is so much that is already like everything else with little that makes them stand out. So why take something that is special and make it more generic?

That’s a paradox. Games are in the unique position to make hardship part of the experience.

If you take out the hardship you wouldn’t experience the art in the intended way anyway.

“You see Timmy? Everything is possible if you just believe put in the fucking work!”

I had the same problem when I started to look into Linux distros. Nevermind, I have the same problem in generell. With bandnames, songnames, appnames, packagenames, you name it.

I run with Debian at first because it sounded better than Ubuntu and the logo reminded me of the zerg from StarCraft.

Then I tried a bunch of others, you know how it is, and landet on fedora. Hated the name, still do, but it was the first distro where everything worked. So I’ve been sticking to it since.

My airgap stinks.

It has some strong SovCit vibes.

We all do.

Just leaving this here:

Codeberg is a collaboration platform providing Git hosting and services for free and open source software, content and projects.

Jupp. If you trap someone highly skilled and give that person a weapon, the chances are good that this person will use that against you.

Like how does a less skilled person know that this code will not send location to the police with a message?
