I’ve done this a few times in different Civilizations games to see how the computer would react to things like an abundance of gold or over powered for the current turn units.

A lot of the time it was underwhelming with them not really utilizing what was given to them or switching up their strategy. With gold they wouldn’t buy units or tiles and would still demand gold during trades or for peace for example.

On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there’s probably something similar for Java

I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.

Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.

That’s how I ended up with so many games in my backlog

Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?

It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though

OP is expecting the deletion of posts and comments to federate in the same ways posting them would. I don’t think they’re necessarily going scorched earth and care about someone quoting their comment in a reply or resharing a photo.

I think that’s a bit grandiose of a stance. If I misread what someone said or realized someone already said what I did I don’t think deleting it leads to any kind of growth.

That’s setting aside how draining it can be to reply to several people who are making the same argument about how you are wrong. If I couldn’t delete what I posted at that point I would just be creating a slew of edits to justify myself like people regularly do on Reddit whenever they get downvoted.

But that’s not what is being talked about. I don’t think OP is expecting an all or nothing situation. You’re talking like you’ve never deleted anything online

But deleting stuff is an easy way to limit the amount of potential viewers.

Most people aren’t going to put in the effort. If OP’s account deletion spreads across most of Lemmy, even just the larger instances, most people aren’t going to see their older posts.

That seems to be what OP is after. More in line with hiding poorly written Doctor Who fan fiction than hiding from the government in the woods.

Don’t you think that’s shifting the goalpost a bit? OP isn’t talking about something being archived they’re talking about a piece of content on social media still directly linking to that username.

Deleting things in as many places as possible making it harder to access is still a net positive.

It’s about as much of a part or mechanic of Lemmy as posting is.

Isn’t GTA IV a bit difficult to mod? I feel like I recall using OpenIV and having to track down the correct directories to install each part of a mod the right way

Even then it can be difficult. A lot of mods have other dependencies that need to be installed and those dependencies and can have dependencies.

Mod Organizer 2 is typically recommended over Vortex but it depends on the game. I think Vortex has wider support.

I’ve done zero research into the new release. Does it add much in the way of major game changing alterations? I’m thinking along the lines of how the district systems dramatically the feel of the game

I wonder if the Clean UI mod would help with your issue. Have you tried just adjusting your resolution though? I’ve heard 720p is the optimal resolution to avoid various bugs

Is there a chance that Arch says that so they don’t have to take on the responsibility of endorsing yay while also acknowledging its prevalence?

Like if Nintendo made a statement saying they recommend against third party mods or repairs that deal with joycon stick drift because they don’t want to be held accountable or contacted about issues consumers run into a result of them.

Paying close attention to news feeds is something I wish I did when I ran Manjaro.

Any reason you would recommend Slackware specifically?

I’ve watched a few Youtube videos on the history of it and the advantages of it but I don’t recall much. It seemed like a lot of people who had used Slackware a long time ago simply continuing to use Slackware and people using at as a learning tool because of how user involved it is.

Would you recommend people start with Slackware itself or a Slackware-based distro?

It does. It gives you this message

-> Avoid running yay as root/sudo.

I only ran Debian and Ubuntu based distros up until that point so I thought you always needed to install packages using sudo.

I am pretty sure I ignored the warning initially because the first couple packages I tried to install with sudo and yay worked.

This was a while ago.
