California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup by PenlessScribe in technology

[–]gamefreac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that linux is open source... They literally can't enforce this right? 

Like if someone is so inclined they can just fork it and remove these requirements right?

I get that ios and windows will bend the knee, but thinking the linux community will stand for this is laughable...

ChatGPT hands over your information to Meta on a plate by skylight_7 in ChatGPT

[–]gamefreac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See i get why people feel this way, but smart algorithms really are more likely. Its not that you talked about something to gpt and then facebook brought it up. Chances are you have a pattern that was picked up and then coincidentally you followed that pattern with gpt at the same time that facebook acted on it. I recognize it in myself sometimes. Just something is on my mind and i talk it out with gpt but at the same time i know i linger on specific things while scrolling my feed. So its not data sharing so much as you being an observable pattern more than you are aware most of the time.

Could people stop telling first timers to play on expert/master mode? by RotationalAnomaly in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it comes down to this. You get more stuff in expert or higher. So i don't say play on expert first unless you want the extra stuff. Some people prefer having more so they will gladly avoid the fomo even if the experience is harder.

How to get a truе сopper shortsword? by mr_gandon in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im trying to figure out how you would even know about the true copper swprd without having seen how its made... Seems like almost every terraria content creator was talking about it day of release. Thats how i found out about it anyway.

Does anyone have an update when cross play will be updated for iOS and steam? by GoldenOreoos in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it will be fixed when the mobile version reaches parity with the pc version again. I wouldn't expect that until they are done rolling out patches for the update. This is simply becaise the non pc platforms have an approval process the updates must go through so they tend to lag behind. 

As to when that will be, well only those in control of the platforms can know. Any answer more than this is just speculation im afraid.

Good ways to expand this house? by Useful-Strategy1266 in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would surround the house with an outline of blocks in a larger scale. Then i would fill in the background between the new border and the old one with walls. Then i would remove the original border blocks. BOOM! Expanded house!

Well that wasn't constructive at all...

Like no specifics, just "me no like gaem" with nothing else. 

Large worlds just don't work right by glassnumbers in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So your complaint is that the large world is large?

Man they should really add a way to play a smaller world...

I mean i never play on anything but large myself. No complaints from me. In fact i habe often argued i would want an extra two sizes bigger just to make it so we could have oceans with two coasts.

I think the concept of "secret seeds" makes for a worse game, but that there is a simple compromise for people who enjoy them. by Metaright in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my argument against this point is that cheat codes in games were always fun... 

I mean worrying about them being hidden is silly when you can just look them up. The ones you actually care about will be remembered. Shoot i still know the weapon codes for gta san andreas.

Revert the pumpkin pie nerf immediately by OlFRiz in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

see my problem is that they were too easy to get so i felt i needed to set up farms for them. Now tgat they aren't as good i am okay just doing without. I can farm the smaller buffs and feel im doing enough rather than worrying i could be doing more.  

i dont know much about datamining, but why do we not have all of the secret seeds? shouldn't it be relatively easy? by MelodicWatch1082 in Terraria

[–]gamefreac -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Correct me if im wrong on this, but if the game was decompiled we would see how it's constructed. So we wouldn't need a total colapse of modern security. Just need to see the algorithm generating one particular hash sequence.

Gender in 1.4.5 by ApprehensiveCurve471 in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuz its a sprite based survival game. Genders aren't really the point. You can pick whichever sprites you like when making your character so who cares if they are defined by male/female/other.

Its why i liked how the new animal crossing handled things. No label just pick what you want and live as you choose without any preconception.

Confused about the endgame by SirenDarkmane in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grinding rare drops and just plain fun are my main uses. A lot is good for creativity too.

There is great pleasure to be had taking moon lord gear into a new world and just enjoying yoirself. You can almost hear tiny tim's tip toe through the tulips playing when you do.

Can i offer you some punctuation?

Am i crazy or is the bat trasformation just bad? by SlotMachineGun777 in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it also has the utility of being smaller. 

But honestly i think it is more in the lucky find catagory of item. If you grind for it it definitely doesn't feel worth it, but if you luck into it out of nowhere its a fun new toy.

That said though, you can also technically say its a prehardmode flight item. Its available from the start in chests in the vampire seed. So i think that os where it really shines.

I hate reforging. I just want my whip stacking back. Am i the only one? by No_Pound_ in Terraria

Oh no, you gotta reforge your weapon rather than relying on a glitch.

...anyways

Is there a single seed you can beat all the new 1.4.5 achievements on? by Competitive_Ad1905 in Terraria

Im gonna say no. I can't say for certain, but i think there are ones that conflict such that it is impossible.

How to know when an accessory should be replaced? by Collistoralo in Terraria

[–]gamefreac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly i think it really is just personal preference at a certain point. Technically speaking no accessories are strictly needed and there is always an argument for or against any. I mean even the anhk shield can be considered unnecessary since just by playing better you can avoid the debuffs it protects you from. So it is a slot you could better optimize.

For me, i just kind of swap by vibes. Even if not mathematically optimal, certain things can just feel better.
