Terraria at it's core is about boss progression.

Here are the mandatory ones in order of completion:

  1. Wall of flesh (<= after beating it is when the fun part starts, early game is kinda sluggish)
  2. 3 Mechanical bosses
  3. Plantera
  4. Golem
  5. Lunatic Cultist
  6. Moon Lord

The rest is prep work for each one.

  • Collecting NPCs and making housing for them
  • Collecting weapons, armour, accessories
  • Building arenas for bosses
  • Building farming locations
  • Defeating optional bosses for more powerful loot
  • Grinding defeated bosses for specific drops

What I usually do is:

  1. Build starter house
  2. Go mining
  3. Go exploring
  4. Beat corruption/crimson boss
  5. Make housing for NPCs
  6. Make a hellevator
  7. Make wall of flesh arena, beat it with dynamite
  8. Lots and lots of gear grinding
  9. More prep work for mechanical bosses

The last 2 repeat for each boss that's on the list and often include beating other bosses or events for their loot.

They also already have installation from external sources turned on by default.

Why the hell are we babying people who turn it off? They read the warning, they know the risks.

You don't need a credit card for a dev account. You do, however, need to have a "business" attached. Luckily, that business they're asking for doesn't need to be verified, so it can be just a random string of letters.

Still bs that you have to go through all of that just to install apps you want.

I don't trust Microsoft to make apps on their OS work as well as on x86. Their support so far with X elite/pro chips was very telling.

Credit where credit is due, Apple worked hard with other developers to make the transition to ARM possible. Microsoft doesn't seem to be bothered to do that much.

Wait, they were planning to release B4 on Switch 2? With that "optimisation"?

What were they smoking there?

That's Capcom doing a lecture on optimisation with MH Wilds as an example all over again.

Man, these decision-makers are something else.

It does, but in my experience, it's way worse for recollection.

Electronic devices are superior when it comes to storing and organizing data, which makes it a better tool if you prefer to use active recall as a memorisation method.

I had literal books worth of notes until switching to a tablet (a stylus keeps the benefits of writing, btw). And going over them when preparing for exams was an absolute nightmare.

Proxy is a step below VPN since it doesn't tunnelise data.

Anti-detect browsers. Do you mean Tor? It's a decent solution, albeit the slowest one.

What people use to bypass the great Chinese firewall is VPN with VLESS protocols. Unlike usual VPN protocols, those are specifically made to bypass censorship.

Any government already has all of that information, so, no.

By giving it to a company, you just increase the risks of info leakage.

A little background info:

Russia's been sponsoring one of its oligarchs' business by eliminating their competition.

First, they restricted YouTube's speed to an unusable state to force people to switch to RuTube (they didn't)

Now they're trying to force people to switch from WhatsApp (and potentially Telegram) to MAX, which they want to be Russia's version of WeChat.

Add the fact that our politicians are obsessed with controlling all of the media and you'll get the gist of it.

Reach and convenience. Why do you think podcasts exist on YouTube when they could've as well been audio-only?

Besides, some people like to see the speaker, because it gives visual clues about what's being said. Not everybody absorbs info efficiently through reading texts or just listening. Sometimes you need more than one way of recieving information.
