The depth of the book cannot be overstated. Everything has a backstory. Answers for questions are often sprinkled around in conversations spread throughout all the books. Tolkien spent years working on the Silmarillion before starting this which is why so much detail is sprinkled throughout.
And Tolkien was crazy detailed with everything. He plotted every step of the journey out on a map and ensured everything, including the phase of the moon, was kept consistent.
I never thought of Sin City being different in that way. But it is. Whole sections are just the current character talking to themselves.
Git is something that is very comfortable to use after a year or two, but when you initially start using it, it is just so easy to mess things up in ways that are unrecoverable. I remember the silly days when I'd back up all my changes first before using git since I would so regularly lose everything through a combination of git commands.
It's easy for me now, but the initial stages punish mistakes severely. It's the dark souls of source control, except it's not really fun. It's just a very beginner unfriendly tool.
Hey HobbitFoot! Are you related to the Hobbiton Proudfoots/feet?
Feel free to join us at !hobbit_art@hobbit.world and post some of your hobbit family artwork.
If I browse !lemmy@lemmy.ml I don't see this post. Only see it via the website. I really hope they implement post linking soon.
Oh, maybe !announcements@lemmy.ml
I'd recommend just getting a steam deck if you don't just want to get a PC. The variety of indie titles and the lower cost just beats any of the standard consoles.
A PC is even better, but the cost of the initial hardware is probably higher. But you can't beat the price of the games or the variety of games available. And the PC won't expire the way modern online consoles do.
I have a PS3 that won't play movies from disc anymore because its online service is down or something. Ridiculous.
Every instance just needs to store the communities they use, just like now. But once cached, any other instance could grab those messages from any of those instances. It'd be a peer to peer sort of organization.
I can think of lots of caveats regarding freshness of content and trust and ensuring the tree of instances is auto organized to minimize depth. Maybe for trust you could have signatures for all content signed using keys that every instance could pull from the original instance just once every now and then.
Upvotes and responses would just travel up the tree in the reverse trip from the way content came down.
But, I think it's similar to other things that already exist. These problems seem solvable.
If it worked like torrenting where you have seeds, etc, it'd scale almost infinitely. I don't think we should change to fit the algorithm. We should change the algorithm to make it scale.
Just checked. I haven't played for a few months. Didn't even know about update 8. Love that parachutes aren't consumed on use now!
I assumed it was intentional.
