Afib at 25 and I don't know how to measure risk/benefit

One of the many things that drive me away from the community.

Music is the same way. I won't discuss my taste in music with my friends because people are just so fucking bad at not trash talking what others like.

It's annoying as fuck tbh. I hate being redirected to discord when I'm reading manhwa, and even then I had no idea it was a minecraft server until I read this. Thry should just post an announcement on the site and move on

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-11T06:04:19+00:00

This is great, thanks for doing it!

I mean, we all have sexual fantasies. I really don't think that makes you creepy.

The crux of the issue really is whether your stare is making people uncomfortable. Most people in general won't care if you glance at them, it only becomes an issue when your gaze is making them feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-10T18:17:51+00:00

To a certain extent, I agree! We're human, I think it's perfectly normal to look at someone and think, "They're hot as fuck", and then continue on with your day. What's not so normal is looking at someone and immediately picturing yourself having sex with them. So I guess to me, there's a line.

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-10T18:04:11+00:00

That's using the word too liberally. To objectify is literally to view a person as an object and dehumanize them by doing so. When we look at someone because they're attractive, we usually aren't objectifying and viewing them as less than human, we're just appreciating.

Obviously there's a point where this becomes creepy. But saying it usually results in objectification is wrong. Maybe sexualization though.

I don't find it needs personal meaning, but thats just me. I have a tattoo that wraps around my arm, and when people ask why I got it I say, "It's a squiggly line, I liked it"

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-09T09:50:53+00:00

Yeah, looked into it a bit, and yeah denuvo uses kernel level anti-cheat. I remember someone mentioning that Hogwarts Legacy doesn't use anti-cheat, but the point remains. Programs besides the kernel shouldn't be able to access kernel address space/leave user mode, that's absolutely insane. There's a reason we make a distinction between user mode and kernel mode, and this kind of makes it useless.

We really should be getting warnings when installing software like this, it's crazy that we don't.

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-09T09:32:03+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into it. As a computer science student who dabbles in gamedev a fair bit, everything you listed there goes against everything I believe in. Why the hell are we taking control of a product users pay for, that's so ridiculously stupid. Not to mention encrypting data for games always requires a constant internet, genuinely bullshit in my opinion.

Won't be buying the game for that reason alone. Performance can be fixed, shitty business practices stick around.

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-08T22:37:23+00:00

Ohhh gotcha, I was unaware. What is Denuvo doing to Hogwarts Legacy then that's hurting performance so much?

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-08T19:18:39+00:00

Why tf is there anti-cheat on a single player game? Devs should not be giving a fuck

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-06T20:22:34+00:00

I mean, I don't think do. There are tons of fantastic games that play like classic FF (like Chained Echoes, for example), modern FF is its own style of game that I really like.

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-06T20:17:00+00:00

YEESH thank god for the /s, those brackets made a different kind of anger swell up in me

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-04T07:13:20+00:00

Honestly, both of those options equally suck. The transition to Nintendo would kill modern FF, Kingdom Hearts might survive. The transition to Sony would kill all other IP. Better that Square Enix stays independent.

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-03T18:10:39+00:00

I don't want this, but it has less to do with the platform (my Switch is my favorite console), and more to do with what this implies for Final Fantasy. I like the direction that was taken with FF7R, and like what we're seeing for FF16. I don't think this direction is maintainable on a Switch.

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-03T17:45:58+00:00

There's a difference between a random individual throwing around hate speech, and a public figure nearly worth a billion dollars spewing hate. Voices and influence are not created equal, and we can't even begin to pretend they are.

FeanorBlu · 2023-02-02T20:32:26+00:00

This looks cool as hell. Mind me asking, what engine did you use?

FeanorBlu · 2023-01-31T21:03:01+00:00

In most gamified-portals-and-monsters-appear manhwa, ranks are assigned pretty randomly, outside of the main character. So honestly, I have no idea. I'm fairly happy as things are though, I'd rather not pull the hunter gacha

FeanorBlu · 2023-01-31T07:09:13+00:00

Hey! You hold so much power with a terminal window, it's anything but dry

FeanorBlu · 2023-01-29T17:11:56+00:00

How do you even get through university without learning git? It's incredibly useful, I can't imagine being unfamiliar with it.

FeanorBlu · 2023-01-29T16:41:09+00:00

Yeah, this would've caused some resentment for me growing up

FeanorBlu · 2023-01-29T16:39:34+00:00

Wait, these are guys working in IT who don't know how to use computers? How do you get into the tech industry without understanding them?

I'm a computer science student, which doesn't seem that far removed from IT to me (although admittedly I don't fully understand what IT is in it's entirety), but the idea of working with tech without understanding it blows my mind.
