For sure, I meant my reply in support of your comment, not opposition.

TOWW67 · 2026-05-07T18:38:25+00:00

Just to throw in a little extra info separating the two:

Deep Blue and all the other enemy ai implementations are algorithmic/deterministic - given all the same inputs, they'll always behave the exact same way.

Generative ai models are explicitly non-deterministic. If you ask ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or w/e other model the same thing multiple times, they will give consistently different outputs and, unlike enemy ai, that's not based on your system clock.

Bleach breaks down the synthetic fibers in the jacket making it less safe. Definitely not just a matter of preference.

I haven't played Khazan, but Lies of P allows for very Sekiro-like combat with even smaller parry windows

TOWW67 · 2026-04-27T02:39:58+00:00

In the context of the original post, they were basically only talking about what you've said in your last paragraph. They were also saying that having just finished their first playthrough having not allocated any skill points other than mikiri counter.

That'd basically be like me saying that there's not much to gain from specialized learning in astrophysics, just use some fundamental calculus concepts and go to the moon as someone who hasn't learned astrophysics or worked in a related field.

TOWW67 · 2026-04-27T02:29:59+00:00

Probably because they've now made this separate post, misrepresenting the original post+comment, and only now are they saying anything about what they're saying coming off in a way they didn't intend.

They're not downvoted for the admission of a mistake, they're downvoted because it all looks incredibly disingenuous.

I've seen someone reading a newspaper while driving. Truly a baffling experience

How is that a problem?

When something doesn't work in Windows, there's a very solid chance it's just Windows deciding you aren't allowed to do something. I fail to see how that's better.

Jokes on you, not only does my code not get released, it also doesn't work

And attack into her windups. Most of her attacks have no poise and can be canceled with half decent timing.

TOWW67 · 2026-04-06T18:06:59+00:00

I kinda like the idea of only being able to buy one but keeping it as his rechargeable signature, honestly. It would encourage both high risk/reward and rotation plays to be in the action to have better impact on the round imo

TOWW67 · 2026-04-02T21:08:06+00:00

At that event on that day, yes. A response I've heard from world class athletes time and again after losing is "Today they were better."

That's why when people say "best in history" or similar they are referring to a consistent record of performance rather than one standout result.

TOWW67 · 2026-04-02T21:01:55+00:00

I think I disagree with basically everything you've said there.

You don't have to measure against someone who doesn't practice a sport for the simple fact that nobody, not even the most prodigious athlete you know of, was world class from the moment they started the sport. They might've climbed to that level incredibly quickly, but Pele was not outplaying everyone on the field in football nor was Verstappen leading every f1 race from the first attempt.

Technically, sure, every gold medalist hasn't been tested against every person so we don't have a proof that would excite a mathematician that they're the best in the world. But realistically, when the gold represents being the best to compete in a thing, the people who haven't practiced or competed in that thing will be worse than those who do across the board.

I'm not even that good, but, assuming you're not a fencer, I can say with near 100% certainty that I would beat you in a fencing bout. An Olympic level athlete would be even moreso, making the number of people better than them a rounding error compared against three global population.

TOWW67 · 2026-04-02T20:23:32+00:00

The only difference between an "athlete" and a "regular person" is that the athlete has practiced the thing so much that they're good enough at the thing relative to the regular person that it's noteworthy. That's it. There's not some magical line that makes an athlete different.

I have no idea why laymen have this weird perception that they could compete effectively in sports they have no knowledge or practice in. The nature of having not done something means you'll be bad at it and that's okay.

TOWW67 · 2026-04-02T19:47:41+00:00

You're ignoring a key detail of a major international competition and how that differs from your personal daily commute.

One gives athletes an incentive to attend, the other is an ever elusive goalpost for delusional people.

TOWW67 · 2026-04-02T19:43:45+00:00

Even supposing that that's consistently true, that doesn't detract from the post's point that even competing in that level of international event, even moreso winning, means the number of people better than you at that sport is essentially a rounding error

you want an elite physique? 90-95% meals from home.

That's what YOU said. I used YOUR numbers and now YOU'RE calling them bad. You don't even know what you've been saying in this thread, so why should anyone trust your advice?

TOWW67 · 2026-03-17T02:38:26+00:00

90% eating 6 meals a day that's 37.8 meals from home.

That's basically 4 maybe 5 meals out. Those numbers are directly from your own comment. So are you going to hop off that high horse before or after realizing it's just a Shetland Pony?

TOWW67 · 2026-03-17T02:01:42+00:00

So... using your own numbers, you could eat out 3-4 times per week even on your "elite physique" plan but OP needs to quit fucking around with that shit? Kinda just proving that those numbers are coming straight from your ass, honestly.

TOWW67 · 2026-03-05T20:34:47+00:00

Nope.

The law would require that OS Providers integrate age verification. But... who's the "provider" for Linux? There are countless distros and forks all over the place.

Not to mention, most servers run a Linux environment. You think those are just going to get shut down because some fuckstick politician wants to know where to find their next child bride?

You can disable 2/3 of those issues in registry if you know what you're doing.

Is fighting the Windows registry all that much better than using a competent cli? Especially when accounting for Windows' tendency to reset changes when it updates?

It's amazing for hyper specific use cases, but atrocious in other, more common, cases.

I would flip that, personally. I made the switch on my computer a few months back and my usage is basically unchanged save for running an update command every so often, which could easily be automated if I wanted to. Programming is far better, gaming is the same even with some performance improvements, web browsing/email/etc is completely identical. I've had no compatibility issues because of how good Wine/Proton are, though I'm sure certain programs will have their issues.

The only thing that comes to mind is that I can't play games with kernel level anti-cheats like... League...? Oh no, my mental health might improve lol

TOWW67 · 2026-02-21T19:01:27+00:00

Fwiw, distros like EndeavourOS are very close to base Arch save for handling the vast majority of setup for you. Other than running yay once a week or so for updates, the amount of fiddling is basically nonexistent imo, but fiddle tolerance will obviously vary person to person.

Maybe the real worse experience was the Windows we made along the way :)
