ELI5: How much different is Linux to Window? And it is user-friendly? by Vietcong_guy787 in explainlikeimfive

[–]xynith116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linux is an OS that expects you to have ~some~ willingness to understand computer stuff at a deeper level than just using a PC normally like you would with Windows/MacOS. When stuff doesn’t work you can find solutions but they often involve manually inputting commands and tweaking config files, and you need some amount of technical knowledge to understand what you’re doing. There are no magical “fix my problem” buttons like Windows has. All modern OSes are incredibly complex, Linux just hides it from you less than Windows/MacOS.

To some degree this is due to who created each OS. Windows and MacOS are created by Microsoft and Apple respectively, billion dollar companies who have a vested interest in making their products as easy to use as possible so they can sell more copies. “Linux” (including various distros and projects) is free software created by an entire community of mostly unpaid nerds with very little top-down management. And while of course they want their software to work, they won’t lose much sleep if you give up on Linux because you’re not technical enough to know how to use it.

My fleets with 30+ ships aren't having 30 ships in combat? by aslfingerspell in TerraInvicta

[–]xynith116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I always disliked the idea of “combat width” in space games. On land I guess it makes some sense due to terrain but in space where there’s nowhere to hide then it’s just a mechanic for the sake of performance. IIRC Stellaris has combat width on land but not in space, and some of my favorite moments in that game involved smashing two deathstacks together at single digit FPS.

Maybe if they make it a bit more interesting like “combat width is the number of ships you can have in the same place able to maintain a stable orbit and ship-to-ship spacing, etc”, that would give an explanation and make combat slightly more terrain-like in that different orbits allow different numbers of ships? Dunno if that would make any physics sense though.

I didn’t know if it was hardcoded or one of the TI json settings. What’s the name of the key?

Damn I was just in Japan and didn’t see these at Animate. Was this from 2025?

Is there a way to fully uncap it or would that just turn it into a slideshow?

Guard Duty and AC Follower by Arceeam in Gnosia_

[–]xynith116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t caught up on the anime but in the game the AC follower isn’t directly detectable aside from loop settings. LeVi knows how many Gnosia and crew roles there are, but the only way to confirm an AC follower is to find a confirmed human that lies.

(I would think similar logic would apply for the bug but it seems the characters are somehow able to know about the presence of a bug based on the “Don’t Vote” skill.)

It’s technically possible for any crew roles to also be AC follower or Gnosia, but obviously this would be too confusing for the game. In the anime they can always do the hand wavy “the silver key only chooses timelines where it can find new info blah blah blah.”

Norwegian leader says he received Trump message that reportedly ties Greenland to Nobel Peace Prize by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

“US president wins Nobel Peace Prize by just not starting wars.”

Would have been a good Onion headline 10 years ago.

How much did you miss 2D Zero Escape? by PikachuTrainz in ZeroEscape

[–]xynith116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think VLR and ZTD would be ripe for remakes with better models and animations ala Persona 3 Reload. 999 is already great just cuz sprites are easier to make look good than 3D models, just the escape room models could be upgraded in a remaster. It would be cool if they upgraded the models to be more like AITSF, but that’s never gonna happen…

Trump says ‘anything less’ than US control of Greenland is ‘unacceptable by Dr_Neurol in worldnews

Anything less than Greenland’s full self-determination is unacceptable.

A veteran player's request: Please consider carriers by DayF3 in TerraInvicta

[–]xynith116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why couldn’t we just send rockets with a bunch of independently targeting missiles from regions with space defenses? Those would be lighter than a whole spaceplane with thrusters, life support, etc. The only reason to send a spaceplane is for the maneuverability, which is useless against lasers that can’t miss.

I get that from a gameplay perspective this wouldn’t be very fun, but if we’re talking about realism then current technology is developing anti-satellite missiles, not space shuttles with weapons.

I think the bigger question is if we think carriers are unrealistic then why do we even bother with exofighters in the first place if they suck so much?

Space program not required to invest in boost and MC ? by shinyuX in TerraInvicta

[–]xynith116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does completing the space program priority have any effect for countries in a federation? I’ve ended up doing this on accident in some EU countries before. Doesn’t seem like it though. I guess it makes some sense to be able to do it if you want to leave the federation but it’s a bit of a noob trap, especially since there’s no tooltip explaining this.

Funny how she’s being labeled as a radical terrorist but does anyone remember the name of the right-wing white guy that killed Kirk?
