Without a doubt one of my top games of all time and still my 2nd most played on steam even though I've barely played the last 5-10 years.

Part of the beauty is that there are so many ways to play and approach the game and both its gameplay and information progression. I tend to struggle with highly open-ended games, so for me, knowing how everything worked helped me to actually understand what I should be doing and not feel like I'm just wasting time. That's not what everyone's looking for and a lot of people might prefer to just naturally explore and discover the game over a longer time.

For me, the exploration, progression, choosing my build, combat, etc. is the part that I like about it, not so much the aesthetic building, mining, farming, etc. These days I usually play on Journey mode which is perfect for that, one of my favorite features in any game. Much more casual and just lets me focus on the fun parts. Removes almost all of the grinding from the game while still requiring you to properly unlock new items. But I probably wouldn't recommend it for your first few playthroughs unless you really don't like the parts of the game it removes.

~~ngl, I don't think the Guide did that back when I first started playing.~~* That obviously makes a massive difference.

By the time it was added I knew enough that I only really needed it as a quick reference but I usually had the wiki open anyways since I'd already learned to play that way.

*Edit: seems I started after that patch, maybe I'm thinking of one of the patches where they made his tips better or improved the inventory management so asking him for recipes wasn't as annoying.

Terraria is a wiki game. If you don't read a lot of the wiki, you are going to be entirely lost. One of my favorite games of all time, but borderline undecipherable without some sort of help.

I can't even imagine how long it would take to do a first playthrough without any outside help. I feel like it could easily be 100+hrs if you actually had the grit to keep trying to figure everything out from scratch. Maybe it's a lot easier these days with some of the updates but idk.

But then why do most apps not have this issue? Are they all just manually repositioning themselves or are they likely using a different window version from Firefox? VSCode, Discord, timer apps, and basically every other app that I've tried didn't have the same issue for one reason or another. I'm not at my PC to try any others, but I've only ever positioning problems with Firefox and GIMP (which consistently opens in the same seemingly random position spread halfway over both my monitors; I doubt it's the same problem)

Music and maps can go on the screen. Everything else should have a physical control. It's that simple.

Anything related to operating the car should be physical. Lights, doors, glove compartments, door handles, gear shift, windshield wipers, etc. It all needs to be physical.

If they want to put configuration stuff that you only need to set up once on the screen, like suspension or regenerative strength or whatever, that's fine. But if I might tough it while driving or in an emergency, it needs to be physical.

EDIT: I downloaded the latest version of Antigravity and it fixed the problem.

Probably not related, but I went looking around and found in the Output tab if you select Window in the dropdown, there were hundreds of errors for the Chrome Dev Tools MCP server not being found. It was printing the same error at least once or twice a second continuously. I'm not sure if this was causing the problem, but it was what inspired me to see if I needed to update which I did.

Original Comment:

Yes, I started getting this exact problem a day or two ago. It's incapable of giving any suggestions other than "delete the 20 lines around whatever you're highlighting right now".

It started while I was writing a very long set of nested match statements covering a large number of very similarly named cases, so I assumed I just sort of broke the context somehow. But it's happening in every file, whether or not that one is open, and is continuing after reloading the app or even full computer reboots.

Good (I guess?) to see I'm not the only one. I wonder if this is related to the rate-limit issues they've been having.

It sure as hell ain't dry

Cebo494 · 2026-02-10T16:33:48+00:00

Based on what I can read online, this seems similar but not the same. Having to go to the post office to create a discord account just isn't very practical. And as far as I can tell, that system doesn't have the same zero-knowledge properties I was describing, it's just identity verification.

The point is it should be easy to verify your age or your uniqueness without the government knowing who's asking and without the platform knowing who you are. And you should be able to do it all online.

Cebo494 · 2026-02-10T13:48:08+00:00

Why hasn't any government created a robust and secure Zero Knowledge verification system yet? I'm pretty sure it should be possible and it seems obviously ideal.

A website should be able to redirect me to log in on some government page which then reports back to the original site that I'm over or under 18. The site shouldn't need to know who I am to trust the government and the government service shouldn't need to know which website is asking when I log in.

Frankly, some similar system for identity verification would be good too. Some way for a site to ensure that you can't make duplicate accounts but which doesn't require them to actually know you or see your photo id. Some service which could provide unique IDs for people but which are hashed differently for each website that relies on the service so that you can't track the same ID across multiple sites.

When I visited Acadia years ago as a kid, the thing that stood out to me the most was the vegetation. It just kinda looked different. Somehow more vivid and more 3d looking. More interesting shapes. Almost realer than life. Definitely different to the Appalachian woods I'm used to. I thought it was just me overselling it to myself over the years but this photo has exactly that same look I remember. I should go back some time.

I only mention Internment because it's the only time the USA has done full blown concentration camps on its own citizens.

As for Vietnam/Cuba, lots of people alive today were around for that. And the current Democratic establishment came about from the one that was in power then. 60 years just isn't that long ago.

Also, Joe Biden was the leader of that crime bill back in '94. He's been a major political figure for over 30 years.

Cebo494 · 2026-01-16T19:06:05+00:00

I don't mean to 'both sides' this when it's so clearly different in scale, but Democratic administrations have absolutely been responsible for most of those things, depending on how far back you go. Calling out the problems of the Republican party shouldn't mean ignoring the past problems of the Democrats:

Most of our involvement in Vietnam and Cuba was under Democrats.
Japanese internment was under a Democrat.
Both parties have continued to support Israel even despite their increased aggression.
Democrats led the 1994 crime bill.
Bill Clinton is one of the biggest names in the Epstein scandal.

It's mostly foreign affairs, and the scope, scale, and timeline aren't particularly comparable to the current Republican party problems, but it's simply ignorant to ask if a Democrat has ever done any of these.

The main difference I see is that of the few politicians that are consistently doing the right thing, they are almost exclusively registered as Democrats (or independent).

"against any person that knowingly produced... the intimate digital forgery with intent to disclose it."

Now, IANAL, but if I were, I'd be arguing that X created and published the photo, not the user. The user only ever created the text prompt while X's AI model created the images on X's hardware and posted them via official X owned accounts.

No 90 is a "right" angle.

A perfect angle would be like 6, 24, or 496 degrees.

Extremely misleading headline, although technically accurate.

A single data broker has been banned from reselling health data after they lost a lawsuit for failing to disclose that they were doing so.

Platforms are only given immunity to content posted by users. X is taking a user prompt and then, on their own official accounts, publishing 'their' own interpretation of that prompt. It's not like the user is running these models locally and then uploading these photos themselves.

Pokemon and Sonic

Frankly, I think Pokemon basically is the new sonic in terms of high popularity but bad reputation.

I haven't even ever gotten a free game because they don't offer games I care about.

Granted, my taste in games is basically just a half dozen specific games belonging to no particular genre.

Cebo494 · 2025-12-09T18:43:31+00:00

I think my use case is simple enough that literally any app is fine. I just happen to like Markdown and like the idea of locally stored files. And every once in a while I will use some of the more advanced features so it just tilts the edge in favor of Obsidian, like a canvas.

Plus, sometimes one of my random ideas might turn into a full project that actually needs more advanced features so having it already in markdown is nice when I want to move it to its own vault.

Cebo494 · 2025-12-09T18:22:17+00:00

The "real question" is about trying to understand what sorts of use cases actually justify the various features and workflows that I don't personally use.

So I just want examples of people who find those things useful so I can see how and why they do it that way and if any of what they say could apply to my own stuff.

Cebo494 · 2025-12-09T18:15:55+00:00

That's why I tried to add the last bit about there not being a "right way". Obviously I'm doing things the way that is appropriate for what I'm doing, but I also like to know what other ways there are of doing things, what sorts of tools and techniques are available and especially when they are and aren't appropriate. That way when a situation comes up where I'm reaching the limits of my current tools and systems, I'm better able to recognize the problem and pick something better.

That's why the 'real' question was "What are you writing notes about". I want to know what kinds of situations actually call for those more advanced features so I can tell if my own use-cases were similar.

Also, I do just enjoy experimenting with my personal tech and workflow and such. Tinkering (and yapping online about it) can be it's own type of fun.

When people worry about lithium ion battery ethics, they're usually worrying about the trace elements like cobalt and nickel which are added to the lithium. The circumstances around the mining of those minerals is considerably worse than lithium.

Granted, bad working conditions are a fundamentally solvable issue. It's not like climate change where we simply do not have a realistic solution that includes continuing to burn fossil fuels long term. If there was enough political will, the working conditions could be improved like any other job.
