my no-kill run…

And on the opposite end, if you wanted to be an efficient killer, the laser targeting system weapon modification with the sniper rifle renders the scope innacurate—and apparently it was never fixed, even in DXHRDC!

This was reported on DXHR launch… that’s just nasty.

As an original Deus Ex player I really enjoyed the game and setting, but the endings felt so lazy and dumb to me.

I had the same reaction and I couldn’t believe it. Of the original, the “easiest” ending made sense, and the other two were obvious strategic encounters with very different paths of engagement.

I couldn’t bring myself to finish DXHRDC because I was certain that even after the additional strategies were added to the bossfights they wouldn’t bother with endings. Maybe I’ll go through it one day to find out.

@19m58s - Noah Efron

…the outpouring of grief has been universal and completely undifferentiated, I mean, to be really crass about it, the thousand people who were killed are—almost all of them are the kinds of people who you would see at a protest on a Saturday night. They’re almost all leftist, they’re almost all secular…

@26m24s - Noah Efron

…people will be judging every move that the army makes and every move that the government makes: is it humane or inhumane, is it effective or ineffective, is it too weak; and they will be screaming one at the other, they will be dissatisfied, they will be angry, and then within the country as well it will not be long before—and in fact we have already begun to see some of this—before some people in the government say, you know, the reason why Hamas launched a thousand people with handheld rockets and with automatic guns to go house-to-house and murder children and their parents is because those left-wingers who are protesting every week gave them the idea that we are weak…

Yep, threw us into the ‘most unlikely’ universe because everything was supposed to be destroyed except for the active observer, e.g., you, because paradox.

Or at least that is the version I like to believe.

Thunder is so much better.

Is it though?

I use Liftoff as a secondary to Sync exclusively for its Nerd stuff data. The polish is mostly covered, the raw underlying data is what matters to me.

I’m not aware of any software phasing out X11 support in favor of Wayland.

shadearg , 9 months ago to linux in Wayland or X11? Why?

No, it isn’t. Wayland is a toy for people who play. X11 is a tool for people who work.

The concept of work is relative. See below.

Won’t be long now before your your favorite DE’s will only be available on Wayland, and be missing features because of it.

That doesn’t concern me at all personally—and if I wore your temperament on my sleeve, DEs should get the fuck away from X11 altogether.

My use case requirements have never involved DEs, and if I ever want to flirt with that kind of casual experience it may as well be with new boobs like Wayland.

I could huff “get off my lawn” just as hard as any other, but why? Let people choose whatever they want.
