  • I hate the PRNG of XCOMs. For anyone suffering from that I recommend Hard West. It's a buggy game, but the luck mechanism is interesting. Basically when missing, your luck increases, and eventually that helps you hit. So missing a good shot isn't that bad, because you can build a strategy on it regardless.

  • cause and effect will always be the same

    Actually no. Mostly, but some actions affect the PRNG and when loading saves they haven't remembered to reset the effect of those, so the results can change a bit between loads. It has been a while, so I don't remember the specifics. But you can abuse this property to get out of really tough spots by gaming the PRNG across loads.

    I have probably save scummed too much.

  • I continued Witcher 3 after a long time. Trying to stop thinking of it as a chore to complete, and instead live it like an adventure where I can go and do something funny for a while without worrying if I get any progress.

  • Tips for getting better at Linux.
  • Learning to read manpages is honestly the best advice. They are pretty dense in information, so maybe that's why some people go to great lengths to run circles around them looking for inferior sources of information.

  • Zelenskyy: No world leader has the right to negotiate with Putin on behalf of Ukraine
  • The stories in the Bible are kind of comforting, in a way. It's basically a chain of generations after generations fucking everything up and doing every horrible thing mankind does. Yet through all that the message is that God is always the same and always waiting for his people to stop running away from him.

  • Zelenskyy: No world leader has the right to negotiate with Putin on behalf of Ukraine
  • It's not only interesting, it's difficult to understand, and Old Testament contains a lot of stuff that makes you doubt. But if you look at it from a theological view, God's judgement does not disappear anywhere in New Testament. It's just diverted into one person: his own son, who he abandons to be crucified, even though he is innocent.

    Christianity is really a horrifying religion. The core of it is disgusting and offensive.

    But it doesn't end there.

  • Anyone just hates how some apps can disable screenshots?
  • I can confirm, OBS Studio is perfect for recording Microsoft Teams sessions. Other parties are not aware of the recording unlike Teams built-on recording.

    Probably works for every similar application as well.

    Native call recording in 2024?

    Are there any recent Android models that have native call recording enabled in EU?

    I will root the phone if necessary, but considering that Google is closing the platform down even more by making custom/rooted ROMs fail security checks, I would prefer to avoid that.

    How to anonymize logs before sharing?

    Many projects ask to share lots of logs when reporting issues. It's difficult to go through all the logs and redact informarion such as usernames, environment variabled etc.

    Any ideas on how to anonymize logs before sharing? Change your username to something generic?
