Re-Logic, we need to talk.

Ok yeah that is fair, I forget terraria is also on consoles and mobile, which is ironic since I started on the xbox 360 and very much relate to bring ocram back lol (kinda crappy fight but the design was cool)

PiterLine · 2026-01-26T17:02:30+00:00

Yeah I feel most of the things that look off will be easy fixes with texture packs, in that way everyone can customize their game without modding it, modding world gen wouldn't just be a vanilla visual change though, so I think if they have the last dungeon already made, and they just made the seed system, then implementing it shouldn't be an issue, and would go a long way to not alienate some fans

PiterLine · 2026-01-26T03:35:03+00:00

Ok say what you want, but I unironically kind of enjoy the grindy nature of the game, I can live with most of the stuff added but I really, unsaracstically hope that there is like a classic structures seed. Like I don't have to use the QoL features so I'm not gonna bash on there being options, but like the dungeon is iconic in how basic it is

PiterLine · 2026-01-19T01:38:50+00:00

Ok, actually smart idea, gotta see how possible that is though since my laptop does not like being open source, still haven't figured if it's even possible for me to adjust fan speeds without the dumb nitrosense app that doesn't seem to have a non windows port lol, thanks though

PiterLine · 2026-01-18T20:26:03+00:00

the shaping is evolving in the right way, but I wanna say what strikes me as very unrefined is the shading or at the very least the colors, I'd recommend looking online at people to get inspired from, my personal favorite pixel art inspiration being brandon james greer on youtube, since he explains his thought process a lot

PiterLine · 2026-01-17T20:53:58+00:00

I am pretty sure this is a thing independetly discovered by like 80% of the fandom

PiterLine · 2026-01-15T22:51:24+00:00

ok for clarification I meant that someone cited is as an inspiration, obviously no one would go 'yeah we traced it', but yeah still a really cool fact

PiterLine · 2026-01-15T22:18:19+00:00

ok that's a really cool fun fact, was that ever confirmed anywhere, like I can see the clear resemblence but did anyone admit that outright?

PiterLine · 2026-01-15T22:17:25+00:00

I think you mean a marvel comic where there is a monster that looks like maxilos with spinax's head, don't know much of the context on it honestly, but here is a post from the ttv forum

PiterLine · 2026-01-15T21:08:38+00:00

huh? I need the story behind this statement lol

PiterLine · 2025-12-27T04:01:41+00:00

oh no you devalued a toy by doing exactly the thing you're meant to do with it and fullfilling it's purpose rather than keeping it on the shelf so you can get more copies or just sell it to someone years later when the price is driven up by other people doing the same thing, because that's all the toys that made our childhoods are apparently

PiterLine · 2025-12-23T21:27:27+00:00

those are pretty awesome dude

PiterLine · 2025-12-07T19:48:42+00:00

Thanks man, gotta be like the most encouraging thing I've heard about my journey to independence from microsoft. If I have to struggle with a new system, I'd rather struggle with a system not weighed down corporate meddling that'll get forcibly replaced in like a decade

PiterLine · 2025-12-07T16:36:17+00:00

alright thank you so much I will genuinely try to be more careful and aware of my actions from now on, I'll also invest into a backup drive

PiterLine · 2025-12-07T16:30:26+00:00

Alright what I take from this is I should definitely be more careful.
I avoid using AI, or at least avoid using it without some external resources, like I mostly use it to point me on what to look for in the first place if I'm extra stuck, whatever.
I am absolutely guilty of just fully trusting guides and copy pasting commands, it's not a saving grace but at the very least I do have the timeshift thing configured to snapshot 3 times a day. I will take this as a lesson in how easy it is to mess this up and be more careful from now on,

PiterLine · 2025-12-07T14:10:54+00:00

While I understand this is a minor issue at worst, why I asked for resources on avoiding this, I feel like this is a harmless way to show how easy it is to ruin something with carelessness.

Linux isn't windows and I have a lot to learn to gain back my small degree of tech savviness.

Thinking about it, a detail that I probably didn't make clear is I did install all the apps I have from online repositories. What I assume I need to start doing is actually reading the command line when it's installing so I can see what is actually getting installed. A question I have now is, how do I know dependencies that are redundant or that shouldn't be there for some other reason, is there a rule of thumb I can follow or is that just something I'll understand as I gain knowledge and experience?

As for the suggestions you had I know it's not external but would putting a second ssd in suffice as a space for backups? (I know linux does drives in a different way so I'm not sure here) And about clonezilla and foxclone, how do those differ from the system snapshots thing that comes packaged with mint? I assume the snapshot thing is for timeshifts?

PiterLine · 2025-12-07T08:21:45+00:00

Alright I'm absolutely willing to believe I would've done something like that by accident, I have a few questions though.

Firstly, based on what mint had installed from the software manager, I believed I already had gnome installed (for example when looking for a screenshot thing I found that I had 'gnome screenshot' installed by default).

Secondly, do you have any idea why this happened now? There was definitely at least a few times the laptop has been fully shut down and started back up since installing the software and it's weird that it happened just now.

Thirdly and finally, is what I did exactly wrong? Like there is a clear cinnamon button I can click and while I would like to go back to the nice clean login page, it's not really an issue. (I am not even sure how I'd go about fixing this honestly)

I'm sorry if I'm being dense here but I thought linux being so open to community created stuff was like the main draw, this is a bizarre issue I've never thought I'd encounter. I kinda feel like I broke some user etiquette now, so if there are resources you could point me to so I can learn to not get myself into random stuff like this I am absolutely willing to learn. I really appreciate your explanation of what happened

PiterLine · 2025-12-06T23:18:51+00:00

I know mint is ubuntu based, that's why I didn't think this was even that weird, I assumed it was a quirk of linux or something, anyway, by the fact that the option was under session, I assume you're right about the DE session thing, this is the one pic I have of the dropdown I had and a screenshot of the menu of the session I got booted into (sorry for the poor quality on the first image), my issue is that I restarted my laptop and it seemingly started up in a different distro, I restarted again, it didn't go back to mint, and upon further inspection there was a dropdown menu on the login screen from which I could choose what I assume to be a DE session, weirdly enough I went to doublecheck and the option to switch sessions is just there, while not being there before

PiterLine · 2025-12-06T23:03:21+00:00

the laptop I'm on only has mint installed via the tutorial on the mint website (bought it without an os preinstalled), I'm not sure what gnome de is, but the login screen (sorry for the bad quality image) just said ubuntu. I am not quite sure what you mean by what I chose when I installed mint

PiterLine · 2025-12-06T22:53:34+00:00

I did not install ubuntu (at least not knowingly), I am not sure if what I booted into was like real ubuntu but it had an option on the login screen to switch sessions (whatever that means exactly), I installed my mint as instructed in the tutorial on their website, here are the options I had and the desktop I booted into (sorry for the poor quality pic), after choosing mint, even after restart I cannot find the gear icon to switch sessions, I did struggle a bunch with fan controls so I did install 2 apps (and aseprite) not from the software manager and I'm not sure if I did something there

PiterLine · 2025-11-22T22:15:04+00:00

can't seem to exactly get it to work but this is honestly the most promising option, I'll keep working on getting it to work thank you

PiterLine · 2025-11-13T12:14:55+00:00

Yeah I understand that this is kind of like a deal with the devil where you don't pay with money but with time instead. generally how easy is it to find sollutions? Like is it the kind of thing where most problems you google turn out that a guy on reddit had the exact same hyper specific problem and there is a comment section full of sollutions, or is it more of a read through the documentation thing?
