  • pissing around with network shares.

    What? Why is that a concern when we have tools like Transfer, Mozilla Send instances, etc.? I literally even just use Bluetooth at times.

    I once had a USB flash drive break because the exterior detached from the rest of the body in the housing by, like, 1mm while pulling it out; all the files on it were instantly, permanently lost. I will never again use physical file-transfering that involves frequent insertion and removal if I can avoid it, because you’re physically stressing the unit every time you pull on it (a drive that is always connected is totally fine, by comparison).







  • It’s not just the platforming, either; the enemies are incredibly well-designed to slay you. I had gotten quite far and took a break for months and then when I returned to it when I was in the difficult, bottom-left region of the map, my skill had deteriorated so much from my pause that I died within 10 min. Then I died again when trying to reclaim my last corpse’s stash, which made me perma-rage-quit the game.

    It is just so diabolically difficult that by that point I didn’t find it fun any more. There is just something about melee Metroidvanias that I can’t stand; I’ve tried many. I absolutely love the relentless treacherousness of Noita, which somehow feels so different when you can keep your distance when firing at foes.
