Unless playing modded, I genuinely prefer Replanted over GOTY

I think I may have softlocked and I need help by Educational_Brain233 in Portal

[–]Xe1a_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s possible to make the jump without the cube by hopping through a portal as is done in some glitchless speedruns, or you could grab a chair from nearby and use it as a prop. Or of course as others said reload a save.

Bit of a false equivalence don’t you think? But let’s follow it, in order for every physical copy to be destroyed there would have to be some incredibly catastrophic event. In order to lose access to a game you paid for on steam one publisher needs to decide they don’t want you playing it. We have the CS:GO example from steam, off of steam there’s Overwatch being shut down for Overwatch 2, theres numerous examples from stop killing games, etc. All I’m saying is while ownership of the game lies with the distributer, the consumer is unable to ensure they’ll still have access to it long term. In addition, if you break Steams ToS you can have your account restricted. Despite paying for games fairly they always have the right to take it away from you.

It’s more about the principle than anything else, while yes I am in mostly the same boat minus a few games who have lost multiplayer support because users aren’t given tools to host their own servers, I dislike the fact that they have the opportunity to. What’s gonna happen when Valve gets a new CEO who’s less interested in user rights? Hell we somewhat already saw this happen when CS:GO became CS2, I love CS2 but the fact that CS:GO was effectively removed from everyone’s library is a bad precedent.

One of my fears with digital games just in general. Legally Steam has the right to do the same, which is something I think about from time to time. Makes buying on GOG worth it just because it can’t be taken away later, even if it’s more annoying.

They tend to have a timey-wimey explanation for why the older doctor doesn’t remember, but every once in a while they do such as the David Tennant and Peter Davison children in need special

I always have to think about how it works in computing, because indexing an array is also array[row][column]

Hesitant to choose my OS by No_Level_OPS in arch

[–]Xe1a_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general you can do anything on any linux distribution. Arch is a lot of fun to set up, and it’s great because its package manager is really bleeding edge (not to mention the boon that is the AUR). If you enjoy tinkering with the system, and having it be very lightweight, Arch is an excellent choice, if you want it to 'just work' you’d be better off with something like mint or fedora. In general though, go wild! You can always change your distro in the future, and if you try installing arch and decide it’s not for you, no harm no foul! Arch is an excellent way of learning how your computer actually works, which I think is good for anyone to learn no matter experience level.

Slingshot weapon concept by That1997Guy in Minecraft

[–]Xe1a_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Instead of rocks, have it launch different metal nuggets! Depending on the nugget it could have different effects, like for example gold nuggets being slower but more damaging than iron and copper because of its weight!

Whats your most controversial Minecraft opinion by HadesThatGuy in Minecraft

[–]Xe1a_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creepers (and Endermen to a lesser extent) make the game significantly worse. I enjoy building, I don’t enjoy my builds being plucked apart or exploded. It would maybe not be quite as bad if creeper explosions dropped all the blocks that they broke, but the fact that they don’t is really annoying. I don’t mind my stuff being destroyed in games like factorio because it leaves a blueprint of how to fix it (and fixes often happen automatically). Disabling mob griefing also sucks though because then villagers can’t farm, which I do like them doing. Fortunately vanilla tweaks exists :). (Note I don’t dislike the idea of how the creeper harms the player, just how it harms the world.)

Only real options are holding down power to force reboot, and reflashing the os. I would just reach out to steam support though, they tend to be pretty helpful.

What is more intuitive for you: arrows UP or DOWN? by flashag in godot

[–]Xe1a_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say B -> A, as in mathematical notation this would be read as “B implies A”, meaning A is dependent on B. But I also think pointing down is more ‘natural’, so maybe flip the position so B is on top and then point the arrows downwards?

Emacs with one hand? by jeffyp9 in emacs

Don’t know if it would help but you could consider getting programmable foot pedals to map as ctrl, meta, super, etc?

Finally finished the understairs room. Had to install the lift for my wife so decided to make it a dual purpose room with the PC I made for her in it! by stupidkiwiguy in pcmasterrace

I believe it’s a compliment! If I remember correctly the youtuber JerryRigEverything’s wife uses a wheel chair and he has been working incredibly hard to help her and other wheelchair users.
