I really like the Ys games, and I think Y’s Origin meets those requirements. The boss fights are difficult, but no crazy difficulty spikes, provided you’ve been killing things properly along the way. I only had to grind for a few min for one boss, and that’s back because I actively avoided the mobs and ended up underleveled.

Zelda games tend to also be really well designed, pretty much any will do.

Would you rather use the same contraction for both? Because “its” for “it is” is an even worse break from proper grammar IMO.

Sure, but other platforms do exist, and he could post to those as well as YouTube. Other creators do, such as Gardiner Bryant to PeerTube and Louis Rossmann to Odyssee.

If he really hated Google, wouldn’t he be motivated to invest his time into its competitors? Maybe he does, idk, I didn’t watch the video because I’m not a fan of his style and I generally try to avoid YouTube.

Same, but this isn’t that, so I won’t bother.

Need to throw in a randomizer:

while true; do
    curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time+in+RANDOM+seconds
    sleep 10; done
done

Yup! Most of my wishlist is on sale.

How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?

Why is it Valve’s job to make sure that legacy 32-bit games continue to run? They’re not the vendor of the game, and they’re not the vendor of the OS.

They have a responsibility to ensure that games they sell continue to work. They ship libraries on Linux so there’s a common base, and they should also do so for 32-bit games. GOG does this for older games using things like dosbox or whatever, and Steam should follow suit.

Why would I use a launcher if it doesn’t launch games?

Can you get by with web access? That’s what I do and it’s fine.

Maybe? It depends on what exactly the app checks for. Some apps don’t work because they check if it’s running on the original ROM. It’s hit or miss.

If you can access what you need through the web, you can go that route instead.

From dark gray to slightly darker gray.

Women and men-only clubs have a lot of value. We have women only clubs at work because our industry is pretty male-centric, so getting women access to good female mentors is super important because they’re distributed across the company. Men can be good mentors for women too, sure, but anytime there’s a minority, it’s important to connect them to help them recognize and point out implicit biases. We have groups like that for racial minorities as well, and I think it’s great.

Men and women also bond differently, so having a gender-specific club can lower barriers to connecting and finding support. That’s true for other characteristics as well, like sexual and gender identity, race (I’m a huge fan of our black chamber of commerce in our predominantly white area), age, etc.

We should embrace and celebrate our differences, not try to hide them away. Let everyone have their own club, and maintain rules against intolerance as well.

I guess more propaganda and not intent?

The intent seems pretty clear to me: leave Israel so Israel ceases to exist. They’re not saying, “we’ll kill you wherever you flee,” that would be genocide, they’re saying, “as long as the Israeli state exists, we will attack it and make life suck for everyone who chooses to stay.”

I think if they had the chance, they’d make good on that threat.

I never claimed the propaganda was a nothing burger, I claimed it’s directed at the Israeli state, not Israelis or Jews themselves. Even if Israel were completely secular, there would still be opposition, because Muslim extremists don’t care what religion occupies the Holy Land, as long as it’s not Muslim, it is the same.

The regime will immediately start rebuilding their nuclear program if they remain in power. The infrastructure helps keep the regime in power.

Agreed 100%, which is why Israel’s strike is dumb. The power proper solution is regime change, and giving the people there a reason to support their government isn’t the way to achieve that.

But that’s still tens of thousands dead and Libya is still in a mess today.

Unfortunately, I think that’s the best possible outcome in Iran. Iran used to be prosperous when they were friendly with the west, and I’d love for them to do so again. But that can only happen with a regime change.

I think all of the other ways have been tried

The JCPOA was a step in the right direction, a D we should’ve followed it up with trade deals. IMO, the best way to fight against extremism is through prosperity and trade, so we should be making very attractive deals with countries in exchange for not having or eliminating nuclear weapons (prosperity in exchange for peace). Unfortunately, that’s impossible with Trump in power, and I doubt Iran’s leadership is interested after the US broke the trade deal.

The sky islands aren’t very interesting, but it certainly adds some variety. The Depths is pretty cool though.

I don’t think hate is ever legitimate.

Eh, I think it’s reasonable to hate someone who is actively trying to kill you, your loved ones, or trying to ruin your life. That doesn’t justify murder or anything, but I certainly wouldn’t fault someone in that situation.

Iranians are encourages to regularly chant “death to Israel” regularly. I don’t feel comfortable trusting that it’s just propaganda and there’s no intent there.

There is intent behind the propaganda, but it’s not to genocide Israelis or Jews, it’s to destroy the Israeli state.

I understand why Israel is doing everything they can to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. It’s life or death for them.

Agreed, and I think the same is true for Iran as well. They’re a regional and global pariah, and a nuclear weapon would do a lot to protect the regime. I don’t think Iran should ever have a nuclear weapon, but I also don’t think Israel should be allowed to just destroy their infrastructure.

I had an Iranian coworker, and they said Iran just needs a strong push and it’ll splinter, since there are many powerful groups that dislike the current regime. I hope that’s what happens with this offensive by Israel, but that doesn’t mean I support Israel’s attack here. I think there are other ways to weaken Iran, and I’d prefer to go that route instead of killing innocents.

This hatred of Israel isn’t good for other countries in the middle east.

Agreed. But it will absolutely continue while Israel controls Jerusalem and Palestinians don’t have a country. And Israel currently isn’t willing to budge on either.

I agree with everything you said, my point is merely that Iran and Israel aren’t interested in genocide, though what Israel is doing in Gaza certainly comes close.
