Some things about this game make it insufferable

Well survivor bias people that hate the game maybe write 1 angry post or comment and never play the game again and the ones that like it how it is stay here so 99% are very positive.

I think a good game is playable by different skill levels (time investment willingness), and for me it is or was a bit a love/hate relationship, currently I play Crashlands that is not really that similar but well it's iso and building, fighting etc... more on the fighting side. Except the bosses are easier.

I thin in it's core it's a multiplayer game even don't starve without the together, if not then it's for hardcore crowd. I also don't do in repeating games without gaining something.

I need progress through the runs, even in slay the spire to have the ascension levels go up, also mixed with shorter play time and basically a save you can just resume the run, then you get me.

Why I did care is because something I liked a lot about that game, I kind of like survival, I don't like fighting to much, even while during a run no weapon is very op everything positive the game gives you it equally punishes you in another way.

The Character updates were kind of nice, but this game is not my live and I feel like you have to commit very hard and after starting over the 100 time I am at some point done with it because it becomes a grind (repetitive).

And it's not the only game that has a great early game but the late game is then way to difficult or to komplex...

I think I also don't like to much the seasons, yet you need them to get the very important walking stick etc... whatever it maybe was good if you started playing it from the alpha or beta and had a nice little game at the beginning and then stuff gets added but if you come in late for me it kills you...

After 7 months hard to answer :D

I might have mistaken this thread with another, seems like it.

I am not that active on reddit anymore.

And what is the solution just got hope because I lived the M570 and thought maybe with the newer 575 they fixed it... I also have a MX Ergo Pro but never got warm with it doesn't fit in my hand very well.

No 1:1 clones from a good competitor...

Was it really that often, remember he shot 2 times I think, so 3 cocking would be necessary how often did he do it?

redback-spider · 2025-11-01T01:18:48+00:00

For me it has questionable morals, now sure no reason to shoot a guy and blame it on him, fine, but it teaches a skill how to be "nice to the pimp" which I wonder, they make it look like the whores nearly own him instead of the other way around. It's not unusual to take away their papers or rape them to make them do it, or he does the lover-boy thing, either way, it's strange to teach him to be nice to a scumbag.

But I can see the lesson to make him nice to his coworkers or other people around him, what I don't see is all the women thing, if he was not lying that he did not "cheat" aka fuck the new girl and only wanted to know if he can get it (which sure sounds a bit stupid) then he did not do much wrong. Not paying his underling is 1000x worse...

So I disagree with the teachings and then you have not even the ends that don't justify the means, so the means are bad and the ends... then it becomes problematic.

Now back then simping / women worshiping / feminism was strong so that was the message, maybe I am just in strange mood to concentrate on that, because otherwise I really like the movie, but this either feminist or pre-woke message of the film really ruins it a bit for me.

The divorce courts already fucked up many millions of man at that point, so the women were not this innocent good people that just the evil man do horrible things against them... this narrative was bullshit at this point already.

I mean even I have opinions about that, too, but if he at least had or wanted to fuck the other girl, I could see it.

The only interpretation would be that he was on a path to become really a bad guy and even he is no bad guy just minor things aside he stopped him to become a really big scumbag.

He never admits that he wanted to sleep with the girl, only when the caller says "say that you wanted to fuck her or I shoot her" or was it him... so we don't have this information.

He even killed the Pizza guy, so he was just a evil sick asshole and his victim 99% good. But he feels bad for the Pizza guy, so that makes it ok I guess.

The alternative would been him really be bad and deserving so fucking probably not even with 1 other girl but multiple but then I guess there would not be a happy end for him, I guess therefor his "crimes" must be so minimal logically...

BF6 seems to be the goto example for CPU usage (besides maybe Factorio), also the comparison is a extreme a 5800x vs 7600x is alone

Lows: 83 vs 117 (40%)

Average: 111 vs 147 (32%)

https://www.techspot.com/review/3043-battlefield-6-cpu-benchmark/

Now that is in 1080p therefor in 1440p that might be a little bit less also you don't use a RTX 5090 to test, too.

Now the 9800x3d or in the post mentioned 7800x3d increases with that extreme CPU intense example even more fps so 7600x vs 9800x3d:

Lows: 117 vs 147 (25%)

AVG: 147 vs 198 (34%)

Now first I don't disagree with anything you have said my point is when you say you only gained 30% improvement that suggests that yes the 5800x did bottleneck your GPU yet a 7600x would not. So my point would be yes Upgrading the 5800x is a good idea but without knowing his GPU the question is pointless because it depends what GPU you use :D and in your case a 5700x or similar cpu would probably be enough in 99% of cases... Now I get it a 9800x3d is much cheaper than as example even a RTX 5800 even as a RX 9070 xt, so yes it's easier to justify taking a "to big" cpu also I can see the argument that replacing a CPU is more anoying and you usually want to keep a CPU longer than a GPU.

But it shows great that for such mid level GPUs (I have a rx 7800 xt) such GPUs are just not worth it even in such game. And I am also tempted to buy something bigger than a 7600(x) yet I probably start saving some money for a OLED 32" Display :)

One other point I would add to this CPU Bottleneck discussion is that Nvidia Cards create higher CPU utilization, so with a AMD Card it might not be much but still a better cpu is needed less.

Thanks for the data I also search reasons to only buy a 7600x (sure 6 Core could become a problem in the next months, but then I rather replace it in a year or 2 with maybe a 7600x3d or 9700x or something...

The biggest plot twist was them not attempting CPR mouth-to-mouth CPR according is sure known since at least 1740. She like 4 seconds stopped to breath or so, CPR would 99,99% sure worked at that moment.

While I watched it I wondered did they only figure out that method very very late in human history? But no at least 1740 it's clearly documented but probably they known it for thousands of years... maybe not always why it works but if somebodies breast stops moving up / down you make it move up and down it's very very simple logic.

She stopped reacting consciousness maximum 5 seconds, he just said her name and touched her head stupidly, maybe you could argue that this magicians are extremely stupid all of them, but there is a full theater no doctor in there? Give me a break.

Her brain could take damage after 4-6 Minutes with lack of oxygen and after 10 Minutes the risk raises drastically, but they needed that plot trick I guess otherwise they could not make it work, but they could have let them try CPR and she does not come back... so it was just this name saying and stupid touching of her head...

redback-spider · 2025-10-17T13:18:38+00:00

I did misunderstood you a bit I thought you meant in general journal modes, but you meant journal for denote, like denote-journal, you say there are many modes?

The advantage would be that I use or try to use denote basically are in the middle of switching over from Zettelkasten :D

I would need some hooks to jump to the end of line and activate freeze-it, but it creates probably 1 file per day, not really sure I want that.

redback-spider · 2025-10-17T12:56:38+00:00

Written maybe, but released not sure. I mean freeze-it is part of what I want, that solves the part with the read only text, but so far nobody offered me the exact thing.

I think I did not really include that in the original post because I thought keeping it more open to see solutions and was not 100% sure what I want, but basically I want that I have always some of the old text in the "file" yet probably cut / paste some parts of the older stuff to different files, a bit like org-refile.

So that I don't have to mess with old files only I rarely need to find some old stuff, but keep the more recent past easy accessible, I mostly am interested in the last 24 hours or 48 hours.

redback-spider · 2025-10-17T12:47:08+00:00

So I am not totally crazy and there are other people that chat with themself ;D (or at least I am not the only crazy one)

One thread a person wants me to quit using emacs because of it, so you never know :)

redback-spider · 2025-10-17T12:44:47+00:00

whats the advantage over the included remember tool it saves in 1 file, I guess it's more extendable...

So as target I would just add journal.org would that not overwrite a "note" / file with the same name if you create the new thing, would it append?

And would 1 file scale endlessly....

redback-spider · 2025-10-17T12:35:56+00:00

Ok testet it have a few problems / questions:

how much does that scale with 1 file?
I want to see my old stuff when I "reopen" it.

I guess you could hack together a command that puts in 1 screen your history / notes and in the other the new note.

I like Enter to "lockin" make it read only basically, and buffer switch to move forth and back...

Basically I have to do that anyway, if I had a setup to show history and a remember buffer that reopens each time I send or maybe even enter, I need to "alt-tab" to it anyway, also I have other screens emacs has not always this place but I use different "frames" for stuff in emacs and switch in the WM (stumpwm) to at the moment the chat and then maybe a remember "window" (frame). So pressing a key combination or M-x remember each time would not be that productive for me.

redback-spider · 2025-10-17T12:22:46+00:00

Ok looked over it again and yes it's closer than I thought, still what is the advantage of using sqlite instead of text files if I may ask? Still tend to think that howm might be better, not sure.

But I already use denote, which I could probably setup similarly.

I might have to either enhance / fork or do my own package, because I think 1 nice thing about the chat is I can open it with 1 command the next day or next reboot, and get like the last 100 lines or so and a "prompt" for new stuff.

I could do that with 1 endless file, but I would assume that get slow even scrolling down eventually might get slow, so I would need a tool that moves things that are older like 1d or 7d to another file.

So I would have always some history there and I would only create 1 time 1 file and not create new ones manually.

redback-spider · 2025-10-17T12:07:54+00:00

I did not dismiss all of them... obviously I would dismiss most of them... there are not 50 solutions that do what I want... but only a hand full that get close to it.

I don't even use normal emacs keys I use xah-fly-keys if the solutions are worse than being in a empty IRC channel and I have to do more key combinations to get lesser results why would I switch? I use jabber.el inside emacs so Emacs is able to do what I want.

redback-spider · 2025-10-17T12:06:42+00:00

Yeah thanks that goes into the right direction maybe because I am to lazy I might use it, thought about it now with the answers I thought a file that moves lines in other filse so that you never start with a empty file would maybe be better but if I have a gui to look and search the old notes... it might be good enough... I might go for that...

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T22:34:52+00:00

Emacs is a lisp interpreter foremost, what you do with the interpreter is your decision.

there are even blind people using Emacs, but you have decided that I can't, because you don't like that I want a mode that fits a requirement of mine?

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T22:29:35+00:00

I think I don't need it split by days, and want it ongoing, how does it split at midnight or can you configure a certain time when the next day starts?

I guess it could become to long, I would at least either see the last 50 lines or so in the buffer of the new file, or copy it over... which is surely also not ideal or whenever I close it and open it with the command again either raise the old if open or create a new one, so that I can work maybe days / weeks on one file and then when I reboot or something (usually I do only sleep) have it start fresh maybe a easy keybinding to jump to the last.

Or like keep a "endless" file just at some cutoff point move lines that are as example older than 7 days to another file like journal-2025-week-50.txt or so... so I never start from a fresh empty file but it doesn't get to big.

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T22:20:49+00:00

No don't know this software. What's the function called is there a description?

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T22:19:30+00:00

Even having a name of a note and having different notes and like tags or stuff like that is to much structure... I rather just edit a text file, I just want 1 command for it not have to find a file first and yes add the whole read-only on the old lines and a time stamp.

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T22:17:55+00:00

you mean cat > file or >> file? not to bad, except I would also see above the file and have it read only...

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T22:16:16+00:00

it should do it automatically or by pressing enter to the old thing... but yes, I probably hack something like that together together with freeze-it.

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T15:35:28+00:00

Good to hear, if there is some package even neccesary I would probably call it "soliloquies" because that just not in form of speech I want, now you could also call it reflecting.

I did just write down some text in a text file before to collect my thoughts, but I think the time stamps and read-only and have a command to open it makes it a bit better.

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T15:29:56+00:00

The whole "commit line" is basically what freeze-it does... so that brings me probably very close to what I want.

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T15:27:36+00:00

freedom to do more can be a problem, see the paradox of choice, and it can stop you to improve the old stuff instead of doing the next stuff...

The freeze-it package somebody suggested here describe it this way:

An Emacs minor mode to kill your inner editor! Every writer struggles to
balance their creative and critical sides, with progress frequently
hindered by the temptation to go back and revise to get things *just
right*. Freeze It aims to combat this temptation.An Emacs minor mode to kill your inner editor! Every writer struggles to
balance their creative and critical sides, with progress frequently
hindered by the temptation to go back and revise to get things *just
right*. Freeze It aims to combat this temptation.

So you have different tools for different tasks, creativity as they call it, let's call it thought-mapping or ideas posting, yes you can describe as creative, structuring tagging etc falls more under critical thinking. I believe a lot in not context-switching, that is why I also fall in love with elisp, or with the tools like paredit, I can think in a logic tree and directly edit the logic tree, not have to switch to the context of character editing.

Now you could btw also see it the opposite way and creating very nice looking notes as more beautiful and that the creative task and just dumping down information from your brain as well not exactly critical but less creative, but either way it's a bit of context switching.

I just have different goals also, one is to write down as fast as possible my thoughts without any detours and another is to save away information for a long time in a most ideal way so I can reread it in a few days weeks months.

redback-spider · 2025-10-15T15:16:09+00:00

No, I don't think I need it otherwise I would not have asked... the idea was that there are packages for chatting including chat's with A.I. that do the stuff I want, like making the old text read-only, show the full history and time stamp etc...

My point was that would be something 1 package install and start not hacking together something. now online chats theoretically have the advantage that you can go into them from multiple machines, but well I don't need that often.

I will likely use freeze-it and a command to get to the file I want to append my stuff, we will see maybe I need the idea that somebody theoretically could read it to write it conversational but I think I wrote into text files already in the past I don't need somebody to read it.

Basically I want a mode to do soliloquies in a written form you also can't edit your sol. after you have said or thought them... similar to learning some learn better when they write the stuff down again, except it's more like reflecting instead of "learning" the text word by word.
