    Probably it will go on sale again.

    And I’d like to remind you that, many of those Souls DLCs have some opaque ways to access them, and they are mostly only accessible halfway thru the game. So it might not be a bad decision to play it when the DLC is out, some of us might need to start the game all over again / NG+ just to access the DLC, who knows.




  • Yes, MK11 is a good game, and I don’t really play fighting games (normally i’d just go thru every characters and try out their flashy moves).

    But MK11’s story mode is really good. The story is nothing groundbreaking, but it’s really fun and entertaining, and it shuffles the characters you play as, and that’s the strength of the recent Mortal Kombat games over other fighting games.

    Also, if you want to save money on fighting games, always wait a year or two, there’s always an ultimate edition with all DLC characters in it, that’s probably selling at half price.

    It doesn’t make sense for casual fighting game fans to buy fighting games day one anymore.

    Nope, (very often) it’s more like a community service, a passion project, a group project. The main thing is the source is open. Sometimes it’s not funded, sometimes there’s government funding, sometimes there’s patreon, sometimes there’s special commercial license but free for personal use, etc.

    It’s just the source that’s open.

    Crunch time at game development, that’s probably akin to slave labor.

    Edit: Yeah, what’s the terms and agreements about the AI stuff on Github? It’s still less of a slave labor, but more like straight up stealing / plagiarizing other people’s stuff. I say it’s still less of a indentured servitude, mainly because devs can just move their repository to say Gitlab. It’s still shitty that it’s being used for AI stuff (I need to start committing awful buggy code, or just straight up uploading recipes but written under .js format)


  • I stream games, even though there’s nobody really watching it (lmao, i’m a horrible streamer), but it forces me to plan and play thru my backlog. Unless if the game is just not resonating, or gave me motion sickness, I do get thru most games, or at least significant chunk of them.

    By the end of the game, I’d write a short review (i used RankOne due to twitch integration), just to get my feelings about the game out.

    Also with this, I rarely buy games on full price unless I really want to, seeing the backlog dampens your urge to buy new stuff.


  • it’s a library / command line software to download youtube videos.

    There’s more information here

    Basically install the tool, and run yt-dlp [put your youtube links here without the bracket] to download the video. I haven’t directly used the official command line for years though, so you might want to read the documentations.

    And that’s because, I wrote my own terminal-ui using their python API, for personal usage and requirements (you need to know at least some python or knowledge using the terminal to use it)




  • I’ve been using it for a week, and I’ve also been using Obsidian for a couple of months.

    It’s quite different from Obsidian.

    Obsidian:

    • is great in writing notes / markdown, very text heavy
    • there are dataview that could tie relations between notes, but it’s not user friendly to set it up. Also table creation is still not user friendly.
    • has great community plugin support
    • very keyboard friendly

    Anytype:

    • is great in creating relations between objects, you define objects and relations all the time, e.g. Movie object has a Director relation that ties to a Director object, etc.
    • it’s good for drag & drop / mouse heavy interactions, the keyboard navigation is still clunky (hard to select some sections just by using keyboard)
    • no community plugins

    I use Obsidian to write my language grammar notes, it’s very fast, and I could do most stuff on keyboard without switching to mouse.

    I use Anytype to setup kanban boards, information of my video games backlog, I use it for planning tasks that I wanna do later, set the status to in-progress, and watch it show up on the dashboard. It’s very linkage heavy.

    Anytype is probably more of a replacement of Notion, instead of Obsidian, albeit it’s still in alpha, thus it doesn’t have enough features to go against Notion yet. But I am enjoying it thoroughly, the UI is clean and not bloated, although it requires you to define Objects and Relations if you want to fully utilize it.
