Well, you got the answers you were looking for, here is a different answer. To your other implied question, how to not worry about dust getting in other holes.

Main thing is to develop positive air pressure. You want more powered intake than powered exhaust.

Use fans for all your filtered air intakes, ignore powered air exhaust, run it at lower fan speeds if you can. Air will get out fine. If you force the air in where you want it to go in, dust will only go into the easily removable filters, it won’t be on your components. Any extra hole in the case will just be exhausting the already filtered air. Then just remember to actually check and clean your filters. That’s the hard part. But if you clean them when they need to be cleaned, you will never have to actually clean the inside or the fans or components or anything else, just the filters.

And, you’d want/need redundancy. One on-site back up for quick restoration and one off-site for surviving physical disaster. So, you’d need at least 3 times that. In HDD prices, that is roughly 2.5 million per set-up, or 7.5 million total for all three. And in SSD prices, well it’s about 3x that. 7.5 million per set up and 22.5million for all three.

An alternate option is a distributed back-up. They could have people volunteer to store and host like 10 gigs each, and just hand out each 10 gig chunk to 10 different people. That would take alot of work to set up, but it would be alot safer. And there are already programs/systems like that to model after. 10 gigs is just an example, might be more successful or even more possible in chunks of 1-2 terabytes. Basically one full hard drive per volunteer.

Lol, had to add that after doing the math for 10 gigs to ten people and realising that was 1000 people per terabyte, so would take 150 million volunteers. Even at 2 petabytes each, assuming we still wanted 10x redundancy in that model, it would be like 750 thousand volunteers or something like that. Maybe there is no sustainable volunteer driven model, lol.

Orna indeed. Basically final fantasy go. But like a good one, not the actual recent final fantasy phone games.

I think they are tougher for people with poor spatial reasoning. I don’t know what it looks like to them, but all the ones I see people complain about look just as super obvious as all the other ones to me.

When I look back at what a Game boy game costed, and scale it up to today money(as much as $60cad, equivalent to $120cad in today money)… I feel so bad for my parents. I know they had a bit more spare money back then even being considered poor than what people have now. But it’s pretty crazy how much they costed. And our first family computer was over $3000cad in 1990, which would be more than $6000cad today.

Despite how it feels, gaming is pretty cheap now. The prices may be close to the highest number they have ever been, they are not close to the highest cost they have been.

Hmm, maybe I have to change some wording. That is not at all the tone I was going for, I’m not angry or anything like that. And certainly not trying to direct anything at one specific person, or defend any terrible companies doing the things I specifically am saying shouldn’t feel comfortable. I’ll see what I can do to the post to clear things up some.

But I do agree that if you wouldn’t make a friend do something, you shouldn’t feel ok making a stranger do it, do it yourself or don’t do it.

The post is not some line for line rebuttal, it’s more of a loose essay based off a hypothetical posit.

How convenient should it be?

How much would you pay a friend you see every couple months that is friends with your other friends to go out and buy fast food for you while you sit at home playing videogames instead?

What amount of money would make that feel ok to you?

Assuming it would take more than 2 dollars to feel ok with that, why is it ok to spend less on a stranger doing it? And how much less is ok?

The “that’s somebody’s job, they signed up for that” mentality that prevents so many people from doing what little they can to make that job suck just a little bit less at often times nearly no cost to themselves, like not clearing their trays/garbage at a fast food place, or leaving all their stuff at their seats in a movie theater… it’s such a pervasive mentality, “I don’t -have- to do it, so why should I?”.

Do you want to live in a world where people are nice to you, well too bad, cuz they don’t -have- to be. As long as that mentality persists, we can’t have that world. Doing things you don’t -have- to do to make someone else’s life just a little easier, is the foundation of basic kindness.

Is bullet heaven the name for a bullet hell with character progression? Cuz that feels about right to me, lol. I loved bullet hell games as a kid, but I just can’t anymore on the ones that require me to build my own skillset to do well at them. I’d rather just put in the time now to make my character good at them. I find myself playing all the “used to be hard game type but now has rpg mechanics” nowadays.

Basically the “roguelite” to their original “roguelike”. Like yeah your own skill still helps, but all it does is saves time now, you will eventually get there no matter how bad you are at the game. I used to eventually beat those older games, but as time wore on it got to a point where there was just stuff I couldn’t do anymore, no matter how much practice or even state save scumming I put in. Even going back to older games I had already mastered.

So yeah, I definitely am glad it’s become pretty prevalent now that those games have evolved to be more accessible. I miss being able to play the hard versions, but at least I can still play something like them.

At some point yes. The lack of tackling men’s issues is not due to a lack of representation. Roles like this are specifically about opinions that are not being heard or represented before the creation of the role. Once the need for other roles presents itself, those roles will be created as well. Well… after the need has presented itself for so long that it has gained enough traction to actually have a chance of the idea surviving the proposal. And then only a few more short decades.

It’s similar, though not the same, to specifically increasing diversity on purpose in business. The counter argument that hiring “the best candidate blindly” would be a better strategy misses that diversity adds it’s own value. The person who is almost as qualified, but brings a background not currently represented in the company does indeed bring more value. It is understandably seen as inherently unfair, but it wouldn’t be so valuable if we weren’t coming from such a staggering lack of diversity. So the fix to historical unfairness, is a bit more unfairness but in the other direction. If it works, there will be no reason to focus on it eventually. It will just be normal.

So far lemmy.world is proving to be exactly what I want, stable. Starting to think I can start putting down roots and not worrying it’s gonna go away any time soon.
