My mind went to this somewhat relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1172/

Games@lemmy.world•Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?English
4·1 year agoI originally had it on, I think, a medium or normal difficulty. It was a while ago.
Like I said, though, it wasn’t that it was easy. I liked the modular difficulty system a lot! The game just felt like a checklist. Pokémon gives you a mechanic (like the HMs of old or modern rideable Pokémon, or the bikes), and you really could play with them for quite some time exploring and experimenting. The only parts of Coromon I felt had that was the item finding app thing and the raft thing. The rest were just “get it, move on, never use it again.”
I will give it that if your only goal is to have a battle with your friends game, Coromon is amazing! But if you want to enjoy the world, maybe not.
Still worth trying for anyone who likes Pokémon for the mechanics.

6·1 year agoCoromon is a great attempt with great mechanics and alright visuals, but man, did the pacing just kill it for me. I felt like the entire game was the tutorial, not because it was easy or anything, but because it was the slightly boring do-everything-once-to-learn-it slog that a very well done tutorial is. When I beat the game, I was excited to start playing before I realized it was, actually, seriously, the end.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What profound statement has stuck with you over the years?

I honestly love and repeat this line way too much
Just because you weren’t the cause doesn’t mean it isn’t something you need to worry about/fix. I learned this one from my high school English teacher when a student was late and tried to get out of it by blaming traffic lol. The traffic was not their fault, but it ended up being their problem.

3·1 year agoWhile I would love that to be the case, I don’t think it is that simple. Java edition, at least, has been experimenting with shader-like features in resource packs for a while now. It could be that Luanti convinced them it needs to be built in and not an extra pack, but I think it is at best parallel ideas, or at worst, Luanti taking inspiration from those shader-like packs and trying to do better not even knowing they are doing the same process as Minecraft.
My suggestion: Simplificatio Adstupefaciendi - A simplification with the purpose to astonish.
On top of sounding cool it is already astonishing to remember and to be able to spell it!
Basically you are expected to either just go in sick or take the day and not be paid. Also if you take the day, depending on how bad your boss is they could try to call you a no call/no show. A strike at best or a reason for termination at worst.
This is really an off my chest moment but when I was in my teens I went out with my aunt and she pulled this. I felt terrible for making the staff do extra work just so she could have fresher and warmer fries. I get it isn’t a big deal to make an extra batch, but what if two people pull this? Five? Ten? More?





Slugs often have multiple protrutions on their heads, the issue is that they are not all eyestalks. The mistake is simple and understandable, but its the same idea of drawing a cat with eyes on each whisker.
