Yeah, I was watching Potato McWhiskey and this is his take. They have metrics that show most people don't actually finish a game and that indicates a pretty big flaw in game design.

One interesting thing the devs brought up was the ability to pivot from one civ to another based on new information. Like if you discover your continent is mostly plains and horses, then maybe your next iteration looks more like the Mongols, with bonuses to cavalry. If your early conquest didn't go off, maybe you pivot to a more science or culture oriented civ.

I don't hate these ideas, it just depends on how it actually feels in game.

Basically just start with what you're aiming to enable and work backwards (as you've started to do). With judicious use of grep find out where that symbol is defined. If it's in arch configs for other arches but not your own, it's probably that.

There may be better tools out there to do this, but in my experience just sleuthing it out a bit will answer your question. The Kconfig system can be complex, but the files are pretty readable.

It's subjective. Easy builds can be super fun. Especially if you earned it by getting some gear. It's also an accessibility issue. Not everyone is 25 years old with lightning reflexes (or, conversely, not everyone has 20 years of history with the genre).

Anyway, my point was only that if you're bored with being OP, try something different. If you think you're invincible but killing things is a slog, maybe shift your gear to be more offensive etc. The way these games work, difficulty is entirely up to you.

I enjoyed D3 and D4, I think they both do difficulty well (at this point, D3 was stupid at launch). In both there are now hundreds of fine grained tiers you can shift up or down to find the right difficulty for your gear/build/skill.

That said, holding down a button to win is more of a build issue unless you're running embarrassingly low difficulty. There will always be easy builds and more challenging, technical, timing based builds. Finding a fun build is part of the fun of ARPGs.

So it's not fully self hosted then? I can't see how it would do that without registering you with their own service as a middle man. Seems like that kinda defeats the purpose.

Sorry, why would Jellyfin be different from Plex for exposing to the Internet? Dynamic DNS service / static IP and router port forwarding just like any other self hosted thing. It requires a user/pass to login as usual. VPN is nice but not required.

I've only used Jellyfin, what does Plex do better for the non-expert user?

It's possible that it's not supported on your arch.

I mean, fuck Elon and Tesla but if you're spending money on a car you're giving it to a bastard one way or another. The CEOs of Ford, BMW, et. al. might not be making asses of themselves on the global stage, but I'm sure they're still horrible. Even used cars run on gas 99% of the time.

I got my account locked on BLU because I stopped seeding when my RAID went down. I was able to recover the data and get back up in about 24 hours but there was literally no recourse other than begging some random mod's reddit account.

Always sad to see a tracker go down, but this place was a shit show.

The only thing Samba is really great for is interop with Windows. If that's not an issue, Dolphin can browse SFTP directly by adding it as a network share (you may need to setup a password-less key pair to avoid having to login). SSHFS is a similar option and works even if the client is totally naive (it just looks like any other mounted FS).

Right. GCC -f optimizations are basically like "how hard are we going to try to be clever" and are, I believe, orthogonal to the actual instructions used. Machine dependent args start with -m, like -march or -mavx etc.
