I don't know that moving away from assembly made things easier to optimize, but easier to read and maintain, absolutely

Imo, this belongs in nottheonion. How do you signify a community on Lemmy?

I've done two full playthroughs of the game (plus dlc), one on the standard difficulty and one on hard. I can confirm that many of the game's systems are rendered unnecessary by the easier difficulty. I really enjoyed my second playthrough and would definitely recommend.

However, if you don't think you'll enjoy that (having to plan and work for every advantage to be able to succeed) I would wholeheartedly endorse the easier levels. The story and quest design alone are worth the price of admission! Side quests in this game make many other games main story pale in comparison.

Allow me to explain my down vote: suggesting a subreddit to cross post to on Lemmy is a display of bad form

From what I understand, this allows arbitrary command execution. So, an attacker can specify a string of text that something on the affected system will just plop into a command line and execute.

No longer being able to hide your public posts from specific users seems hardly immaterial to me.

Honestly I feel like it's time to create some consequences for rich people

The pain of self repression against the potential pain of self expression

Wait, are you saying people would lie on 4chan???

But seriously, yeah, people don't seem to realize that people tend to want to pick the path of least resistance. If someone really is trans I have to believe it's because who they are is so at odds with the expectations of society.

Edit: added a qualification because I am not trans

TBF, American gun manufacturers don't want it because that would slow sales and line might not go up
