You can adjust a lot of stuff now. And there are also mods that let you adjust even more. You can make it so death is just a minor inconvenience that just sends you back to spawn, keeping everything, including your XP, if you wanted.
I usually turn down the greydwarf spawns, double the drop rate of everything, and enable using portals while holding metal along with removing the death punishments. Only adjusting the mob spawns requires a mod.
Some of them can be changed in an already made world, but others can only be set at world generation. If it’s been long enough, you might have to generate a new one to get new biomes and such to appear anyway.
Keep in mind your character can be separate from your world so you could have all your gear and levels in a fresh new world, too.
Dang of everything you just said turning down greydwarfs sounds amaaaaazing.
Other major inconvenience is definitely metals through portals, but I’m not sure if I’d click that one off. It is really annoying to constantly be running through biomes that I have no interest in grinding just for giggles, but part of me wonders if that’s part of the charm.
Perfect parries no longer using stamina is big. Most of Valheim's combat has been trying to get out of the way from attacks but now it sounds like you can tank hits with the right timing.
They don’t need to start a payment processing company. All they gotta do is start accepting crypto again.
I mean come on, the solution is so obvious. This is what cryptocurency was designed for. But Lemmy refuses to see it. You’ll just downvote me and call it a scam like you always do.
The problem is not with crypto itself, it’s with the part of the community (certainly the loudest) who have been telling the public to treat it as an investment asset.
Trendy and morally correct. If we can hate on Mastercard for the banning of adult content on Steam, we can blame crypto and the people around it for the scams and the continuing environmental harm.
Why blame crypto instead of the specific parts of a different community? You can’t generalize a group because of the actions of a few individuals
Cryptos impact is high but not as much as many other fields, and it’s not for the love of profit, but as a necessity to protect a decentralized currency used by lots of people
Many cryptos don’t even have any environmental cost
Why use Mastercard as an excuse to move to crypto? You can’t generalize the problems of the current monetary system because of the actions of a few. Crypto’s impact is high? It is a non-essential. Many cryptos don’t matter. And bitcoin, as the one people gravitate towards, is awful for the environment, for something that is a non-essential (and not even a practical currency).
Payment processors are just part of it. Each time similar issues arise, I’m here
The current system’s problems are not just the actions of a few. The few in question have an incredibly high market share. Crypto would fix these issues: no need for middlemen, more privacy and anonymity (for applicable cryptocurrencies), cheaper international transactions, decentralized to prevent censorship (as long as governments don’t fuck it up too much)
Not to mention your original message was about criticizing Mastercard which is a single entity, and you’re comparing that to criticizing crypto which isn’t
What isn’t essential to you could be essential to others. For many people, card payments are not essential. Emails aren’t essential. Cars or public transport aren’t essential. You’re saying something is useless based on adoption. So it is just useless until it becomes essential at an arbitrary point? So it does not prove anything
Cryptocurrency is essential to protect your online financial privacy. If you don’t care about it, that’s on you.
I’m still a windows guy unfortunately, but I’m getting very excited about the adoption of Linux lately. I think steam OS has been huge for Linux adoption, as many gamers are probably willing to make the switch but only if they can keep gaming without having to use wine or something. I personally run windows only because I have no time in my life to play with computer stuff and just want it to work for me in the hour or two I get in a week max to game, and it seems like we’re just about there. I think my next build will be Linux based at this rate! When I had more time to faff about with crap (a couple years ago) I ran Linux a lot but it just required too much intervention to make things work and nowadays I’m far to busy to spend my precious time ironing out headaches.
I was you until about 3 months ago when I discovered Microsoft sells cloud services to the IDF. Political motivations aside, I would encourage you to try out a KDE plasma linux distro. It’s laid out pretty much exactly the same as windows 10 and bazzite worked for me out of the box even with a relatively rare gaming laptop build.
I appreciate the advice! I’ll try that distro next. I’m hoping after this winter I’ll have more time to mess around with my PC. I have a bunch of old parts (fx6300, 750ti) from a gaming PC from decade or more ago that I plan on setting up in my garage for reading PDFs looking at wiring diagrams playing music etc. That will certainly be a Linux build and if I like it on there might put it on my zen3 rig. Currently reading diagrams off my 15 in laptop screen in my garage, will be much nicer with a desktop hooked up to a monitor and a spare TV I have kicking around.
I can’t replace the battery easily, or any component in a Surface. Microsoft products get the worst repair score from iFixit. I’ve been wanting a Framework as my daily driver for a while now so I can make repairs as I need them over time (or even make upgrades in the case of the 17" product).
I don’t think I’ll get rid of the laptop tho. Can probably add Linux to it and use it as a server. Right now though, I don’t have the time for that. I want something out of the box that will work play-and-play
