LIES! Doctor Who would never leave a patient like that!

I think “difficulty settings” can work

all of the things you say are completely, 100%, unaffected by a difficulty setting.

The only thing a difficulty setting changes is that some people can say “I am better than you, I beat [game X] and you didn’t”

that’s it.

and even that is a complete illusion, see the prominent worst business man in the world, paying someone to make PoE ranks for him. Also there are mods, cheats and plain lying.

This whole thing is excluding people, and for what? Literally worthless bragging rights.

are you aware of the meaning of the word “setting” in this context?
Just in case I can explain:
It means you can switch something from one behaviour or effect to another, basically giving you a choice of how something should work. So, adding a difficulty setting changes nothing about your experience of the game.

do you need more words to explain this simple thing?

I can try to use simple language and shorter sentences if you require it?

would they still like it if there was a difficulty setting?

yes, i HATED that, and don’t think I ever finished any of those games.

that was not a good thing.

Every game should have difficulty settings, the more, the better.
That goes for indi darlings too.

The good thing is, it’s all free software (*), so you can just try.

(*) Windows is free, because you almost certainly have a license with your pc which you can use in the vm too if your pc runs linux.

immaculately sorted. IMMACULATELY!

First thought: Well, usually i’d laugh, but it’s microsoft, so this might actulally work

second thought: wait, Twitter also doesn’t produce any hardware… why not start there?

This is so brilliant, I’m actually jealous that I didn’t think of it.

Yes they do. If I want malware and non malware on my PC then that is up to me, I am the fucking admin.

Fixed your post, and yes you are the admin, you can do what you want.

I mean, i expected some comments on this, but that ? really?
very weak. back to the drawing board.

alternative: Games do not belong on computers that do non-game things.

Anyway, this is going to be resolved as soon as north korea finds out who many people have important stuff on PC they game on, and hack some hapless devs source to install a rootkit on 100m PCs via steam.

Could be worse, could be that one.

even worse. I regularly have to get up out of my chair and go down 2 stairs.

Also this took a while to find, but : https://sourceforge.net/p/shorewall/svn/HEAD/tree/branches/4.2/Samples/one-interface/shorewall.conf

ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes

Is an actual setting in the config for the (now apparently unmaintained) Shorewall Firewall software/tool for linux.

If I remember correctly, it always checks on firewall rule changes if there is an active connection on port 22, and adds a special rule at the end to maintain that connection.

They don’t build them like they used to anymore.

Look. I live in a small town. The people one town over are dumb as fuck and ugly inbreeds.

They say the same about us.

See the problem? What we need is for the fucking psychologists to step up their game and develop bulletproof tests for sociopaths.

Keep them out of positions of any power and we’re well on our way for a golden age of humanity.

yes? and? Is that news to anyone? Why?

Some people just live life to the fullest.

the helium is liquid, which it only is when it is very very cold.
The superconductor will keep it’s magnetic field forever, as long as it’s superconducting, and it will stay superconducting while it is very very cold.

There is physically no way (as in, it is simply impossible, due to how our world works, not money, not people, not technology) to instantly “switch off” the magnet.

it needs to go above a certain temperature, to lose it’s superconducting nature, and it needs to do it at a pace that doesn’t dump a GINORMOUS amount of energy in this magnetic field instantly, because that would be even worse.

the fault here is in allowing anyone with any magnetic metal anywhere near an MRI. And whoever let that happen is going to have a very bad week.

:D
