  • DAO+Awakening is just a chef kiss, nothing is perfect in this world but as far as games are concerned DAO is an amazing experience.

    DA2, huh, I did finish it like twice I’d say and I don’t remember much. Can’t say much but I guess this fact is something in itself.

    DAI got a joke for a story, from the very first minutes it’s just laughable. I did enjoy the crafting and fighting in DAI but even those have a fair amount of flaws (limited number of abilities cause of console support and so on)






  • Well, that’s probably a wrong kind of ‘open’ to what FOSS means by ‘open’ yet I’m not convinced. With the whole 'anybody can make an instance and collect all the data they wan’t it’s kind of awkward and messy. How much of the said data you can obscure/encode without losing the openness between instances?

    Because if one instance can’t verify actions of another then you have an issue dealing with bots and overall the platform becomes way more obscure and less reliable as a source of information.

    And like if the buttons themselves had an ability to openly show who upvoted/downvoted a post - how much of a difference would’ve been here? I don’t feel like it’s such a concern.

    The point about deletion/edits - it’s not about removing your info from the internet, it’s about correcting what’s wrong for the sake of providing correct. If it’s on the internet once it’s there forever. I don’t see people complaining about weyback archive doing their thing. Yet it’s doing exactly the same thing possibility of which upsets so many people here.

    If you monkey brain posted you home address and where the keys are - it’s on you, not on the internet for storing the info.

    The only real point I see here is corporations/governments scraping all this data for their use. Yet as long as they can federate there’s nothing much to do and if you try to restrict federation then it’s just a bunch of forums with extra features.







  • It depends on the data you have to work with but SQL is quite capable in itself. Yet SQL might be tricky for some specific tasks (like unwrapping dimensions from a plain table when you have to partially rotatate the table, building multidimensional datasets) and for those cases more traditional approaches tend to he far easier to grasp and use.

    Like… Can you use it? Yes. Should you? If you’re highly skilled and proficient in SQL then sure, why not… But would’ve you asked the question in the first place if that was the case?

    I don’t have to do such tasks often enough (once in a month or two) to be brothered and when I need to I’ll just smack my head against the table (ha-ha) until I make it (remember that part about being skilled in SQL - I’m not skilled enough lol)… Maybe I’ll polish the result with some script or a bit of Go. But that’s not an approach I’d recommend to use on regular basis.
