I think Halo Infinite qualifies, I played the multiplayer waaay back when it released so things may have drastically changed (haven't heard of it being the case);
it didn't / doesn't do anything that no other game does, nor did / does it do anything particularly well nor better than its competitors (including every Halo from Bungie).
I did watch a walkthrough of the campaign, and it doesn't look particularly engaging either.
A'ight, well hurry up and come over here.
Removable storage isn't NAS, it's just good ol' storage, but a valid backup option nonetheless.
Removable HDDs and SSDs tend to be less reliable than their internal counterparts, I don't know to what degree, but if you make backups reasonably frequently, your OS will PROBABLY detect failures and point them out.
If you have extremely important data (like $9B worth of Bitcoin or something) you would need:
- more than one off-site backup;
- to know how to properly encrypt them and keep them safe;
- a more reliable source of advice than some shmuck on Lemmy.
Speaking of encryption: do NOT store unencrypted sensitive data on removable storage.
Things like .kdbx files from KeePass should be fine, the application takes care of encryption for you, otherwise you should look for ways to encrypt each file or the storage device itself.
I personally have one 2TB external HDD and a RAID0 pair of 1TB HDDs, which I don't use exclusively as backup, and if an airplane crashes on my house then gg bb; cloud storage solutions are way more reliable than handling storage yourself, but then you'd be entrusting third parties with your stuff.
You can't stop me >:C
NAS stands for "Network Attached Storage", basically a computer whose sole purpose is storing and serving files in your home.
RAID stands for "Reduntant Array of Inexpensive Disks", and is broadly a way to merge multiple disks into one.
RAID 0 means that files are evenly distributed on all disks, which improves IO speed and extends a file system (≈ a partition) 's capacity, but it's useless against disk failure;
RAID 1(mirroring) means that all disks have the same data as a sort of real-time backup, and as long as one disk remains functional, all the other disks can fail without the data becoming inaccessible;
other RAID levels use clever math to offer a mix of the first two, spreading files among disks (like RAID 0) but still tolerating failures of a small number of disks (like RAID 1 but way less redundant).
Wikipedia has a less abridged explaination on its RAID page.
Having used Windows quite a few times in my life, I know the feeling
Magic is computers
- There are runes that can create golems, or perform math like no human ever could
- A rune can only be read or written by mages of the correct school
- Computers are haunted by insect-like ghosts who can't be seen by the naked eye
- Ward spells, created by mages only for mages, can be used to detect the ghosts or defend against them
- Magic manifests when mana flows through the spellcasting implement
- Old runes are incomprehensible to younger mages, but years of ~~reverse-engineering~~ study from the dedicated ones can reveal their secrets
- Souls may lose their ~~storage device~~ physical form, but as long as they exist, they can be brought back to life
Instructions unclear, I tried kicking the ice cube while holding it with my hands and got a concussion after falling
Idk, lately I've seen more people saying they use Bazzite than anything else
Yeah but if she moved over to the customers' side she would have better accessibility
literally unplayable
Things that happen in game differently from my headcanon:
- During a dive, destroyers just hang around over player heads
- Even worse, there's an actual game mechanic that causes orbital stratagems to have an AoA at 90° at the center of the map but lower it at the edges, like the ships were actually hovering over the center (realistically, all orbital stratagems calls would have roughly the same AoA)
- I say "even worse", because I have to actively ignore a decision the devs made for the sake of realism rather than just tell myself "eh, they didn't think about this too much"
- Even worse, there's an actual game mechanic that causes orbital stratagems to have an AoA at 90° at the center of the map but lower it at the edges, like the ships were actually hovering over the center (realistically, all orbital stratagems calls would have roughly the same AoA)
- Orbital stratagem timings make no sense, and are strictly a gameplay balance issue that cannot be realistic: the loading screen shows the first helldiver drops well outside the atmosphere and take several minutes to reach the ground, but turrets take 3 seconds to deploy? This game sucks, literally unplayable
- Surely Eagles must be capable of atmosphereless flight, if the cheap ahh shuttle is?
- At the beginning of the loading screen, the destroyer doesn't have an atmospheric re-entry fire effect which would be countered by shields or whatever
Things that oddly do make sense:
- Hellpods do have the atmospheric re-entry fire effect immediately after launching, which wouldn't make sense in the absence of (less than extremely thin) atmosphere
- ... that's it, actually
The reason I made this nerd emoji of a post:
I've played KSP and my suspension of disbelief towards games or shows with spaceships is completely broken.
(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)

Recently switched to Hyprland, launched the homemade game engine I'm working on, and for some reason I saw the Hyprland mascot looming over the mountains...

Notice the actual desktop background, ignore my attempt to kill -9 DIscord after the first of 6 crashes
I wouldn't know what the thing that gets me the most is, there is so much that Cyberpunk 2077 corpo ass studio has done to ram the franchise into the ground after digging it up from its sacred resting place.
Other than brand loyalty (which at this point shouldn't even exist anymore), I wonder how H:I ended up lasting years more than Concord.
