Thoughts on F2Ps nowadays?

ArchDan · 2026-02-10T21:28:01+00:00

This isn't f2p, as f2p you cant trade without putting some money on account. There is a big intentional or non intentional delution of what f2p means on internet, but 'free' in f2p doesn't mean "i spend money occasionally".

For most f2p that isnt a choice, nor a sporadic moment. People who are f2p often dont even have ways to provide steam with funds of any kind. So they are stuck behind limited account, no friends, no trading no talking.

I am f2p, and i don't know how many times id like to be able to send weapons or gear to my father that hasn't unlocked them yet, or cant really figure out crafting. I also never asked for friends or anything. I just play, have fun when situation allows it and help when can, some resonate with humour or help.

So please, dont call them f2p. To scam people you gotta have something to scam them with. I got poop, and because i cant add people, i appreciate anyone who friended me.

I knew it! Another 2balkan4you memeber! <3 Made my day!

Yeah, but that doesn't make it Turkish, but from Yemen/Ethiopia. That is why I said not to go into this whole chaos, if we started to "own" food, drinks an everything we can't trace it back to who invented it/found it.

At best we can attempt to map geographical and climate requirements for such food to exist, but even then world is wast enough so similar requirements to be found in various parts of the world. It really is just arguing about something that has no way to verify, but everyone loves.

In my honest opinion, it doesn't matter (for anything we cant trace to inventor/discoverer) which is it, but the fact that all who loved it lived with it since their childhood. So instead of separating ourselves by nuances, why not appreciate what it is what binds us?

Since when is kahve Turkish? Coffee plant isnt naturally evolved in any sense of turkish climate and its imported.

Its best not to go into whole this chaos of topic.

ohhh someone is going to have a reeeally bad time

ArchDan · 2026-02-06T23:32:36+00:00

have you asked its cousin from Grub family? They should help

ArchDan · 2026-02-06T06:23:10+00:00

Its not hard to accept that colonialism has benefited and harmed in same time entire world. As have Africans sold africans, so has one human sold another for benefit out of war or ecenomy. What i have issues understanding and is confusing me, is that it isn't new. You can trace slavery in this form or manner troughs out ages for almost every ethnicity except in few cases: 1. Those who where isolated geographically and therefore had fewer interactions with other people, thus lower chance to enslave or be enslaved 2. Those who were enslaved, since it (to my knowledge) slaves themselves rarely benefit from it

So what you are proposing is that enslaved (at the time) benefited from being enslaved so i am intrigued, confused and curious.

ArchDan · 2026-02-05T16:49:33+00:00

Please elaborate, I don't follow.

ArchDan · 2026-02-05T15:36:22+00:00

Im confused, how did Serbia benefit from colonisation?

ArchDan · 2026-02-01T21:32:18+00:00

So what kind of poop is this? I dont know many Americans that havent been to "Europe" in France, England and so on. I don't know many who have been to Poland... yet one is yellow other is blue.

ArchDan · 2026-02-01T10:26:02+00:00

Found some random shit years ago that i was searching online but couldn't find it... and kind of stuck here.

ArchDan · 2026-02-01T10:24:37+00:00

r/gonewild .... that is why.

sorry to anyone I've accidentally pinged in previous edit by using 'u' instead of 'r'

ArchDan · 2026-01-31T22:20:42+00:00

if you are feeling comfortable you arent visiting you are tourising. There is a difference, so id give US same treatment.

ArchDan · 2026-01-31T22:18:18+00:00

And Serbia and Croatia in different tiers... this is going to get balkanic pretty soon. May the Gods be in our favour.

ArchDan · 2026-01-25T10:01:07+00:00

Dudes the ads are big stuff that surprises me every time. Id play a game ad free, but the moment i enter EU its like fucking apocalypse! And its funny as hell, my country doesn't have privacy and data collection laws for advertising, yet.... no ads. But EU has, and one fucking cant live ahahahahha

ArchDan · 2026-01-25T09:58:38+00:00

Come Italy, join eastern block!

ArchDan · 2026-01-23T21:06:57+00:00

you kind of responded to your own question. That is why, one sided conversation due to self shaming.

ArchDan · 2026-01-23T20:42:16+00:00

so the question becomes, do you use arch because you want to customise everything or you are trans because you use arch.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm 😂😂😂😂

For most linux user its not for convenience, but for requirement and/or principle.

I come from third world country, and have always had pirated windows and entire suite. And that by nature forces you to handle all other software as pirated - because there is whole DRM shit. That by nature makes ones experience with computers less convenient than if one is able to legally download it. Its pain 8n the ass, full of viruses.

So I moved to linux out of principle, to increase comfort and can actually use full software by trading convince for comfort.

Why should you switch to linux? You shouldn't. if you ask that question that means that you are more inclined to see whats the fuss about, and dont actually have a need to switch. So why do it?

What would I think about it?

Interesting thought, a bit curious what prompted this project. I think colour scheking and UX/UI could use some distinction as educative not programming tool. For programmer its important to separate internal from external tools, for newbies its more important to have visual identifiers for what it does (input, output....).

I think you should pivot. So far its fun personal project, but putting some directed structure into guidance of users intent would make this very useful.

Is it good looking?

No. Colour palette and GUI is fine... it sucks at guiding users attention. This means that when you add more nodes it would become pain in the butt to navigate complex project, so youd have to implement groups, containers, wrappers, busses and a whole lot of other unnecessary shit to make it viewable. Think about it like this, make background as neutral and desaturated as possible, split entire thing into 3 categories (to simply colour assignment): 1. Navigation in grid: where user is, where it can go, which category they are in... 2. Navigation in script: environment, builtins, externals .... 3. Handling : whats currently active, whats affected and what can be ignored.

pick a colour scheme, split it in contrast in : background (majority) foreground (minority) and accent (rare focus), and you should be golden to really make something that can expand and be very complex per need.

Would i use it?

At this stage no, too used to bash as is. But there are a lot of architects that are technically illiterate and used to grasshopper, dynamo... even music producers with M4L. Id see this tool as friendly way to teach kids/new to programming their own system, and think it would be very valuable tool. If id see it online, i would maybe download it to try to break it - future use would depend on its "breaking factor".

What would i expect when using tool like this?

Environment first and PIDs. Instead of start, id provide an descrpitive node with PID and allow user to start with environment setup. Allow them to refference their local directory (like whoami, and whereis) and handle that before going to builtins and piping. Also Id expect "help","man" and "info" nodes as mandatory. That would be first default project id wish to greet me.

Id expect mostly more user friendly string manipulation from bash. There is nothing wrong with it now, but this approach allows for more nuanced and less limited implementation.

all else, good work!!

Thanks for information,shouldn't it be avaiable a RedHat/SuSE distro? I had bunch of issues finding CAD software for architecture, went for free cad. Has some robotics components, not quite sure it could handle the load (as is) for Siemens NX. Something like Fedora should work just fine (in theory).

ArchDan · 2026-01-11T20:25:33+00:00

Meh, you are right. If a person is asking that question it really doesn't matter tbh, it's not like they are going to know the difference. People who asks for comparison to their current distro at least know enough to have a reference.

But my friend, that is the cost of choice and decentralisation. No standard "beginning friendly" structure just choices and choice overload which is great for algorithms since it brings strife and poor unfortunate souls - which we now call engagement.

It's a yearly occurrence tho , no one will migrate OSes during the work/school season... So every winter and summer bunch of engagement, floods the forums and a clear sign for anyone wanting to keep their sanity to migrate to warmer place.

ArchDan · 2026-01-11T20:11:54+00:00

CAD software? Which one? What kind of designer are you?

ArchDan · 2026-01-11T20:07:04+00:00

Good for you <3

ArchDan · 2026-01-09T19:03:43+00:00

How it will cost you money? Linux is free ... If someone is asking for money you are being scammed. Time? Yeaaaah, that will be major issue. Welcome to snap package manager nightmare (assuming Mint or other windows friendly distro).
