LLMentalist is a mandatory read.
Stop making LLMs happen, we don’t need energy hungry bullshit generators for anything.
There are so many more important AIs that need attention and funding to help us with real problems.
LLMs won’t solve anything.
All those anti-QoL things are just an inconvenience to me. I get it might help with immersion, so I don’t diss them, but most of those things sound like they can be worked around easily, just very time-consumingly. I think I saw some get fixed gameplay, where people died by flying to space? So you just build a space wall and you’re in vanilla with extra steps. And I hate doing the preps.
Way back in the 2012 maybe I collected every vanilla item, and since then I just enjoy fighting bosses. The rest is hard meh. Slapping extra HP is also just lame.
Calamity did everything correctly, specially the post-ML content, and Infernum changed bosses so well that passing them feels like a real achievement.
One of the hardest things in vanilla now is to accept that those bosses are so much more simple, but so are my options.

Lol.
Lmao, even.
Whoever believes a single word that company says?
Like why are we as a society normalizing lying about everything? “Marketing”, “Public relations”, even “Politics”. All of which are ultimately pointless, as we don’t need to keep buying shit, think better of corporations, and argue about same three questions over and over again.
Which is to say, fuck Microsoft. And everything they do. Yes, EVERYTHING. Including the open-source stuff. We need to break down big companies into much smaller ones.
I will never forget even Yahron, much less Calamitas on Revengeance in 2020. Played ranger. But it literally took me a week of constant battles to beat Calamitas once. (After that, even with post-Calamitas equip and with duping, I still had trouble killing it.)
But Infernum Queen Slime? Lol, we beat it in team only thanks to respawn items. Infernum bosses are on the top level of crack, and I love it so much. Those battles are so much fun, yet so stressful. Also visually stunning.
Never tried any special vanilla seeds. Are they difficult compared to Infernum? Or if you once start owning Infernum, vanilla is a piece of cake?
Playing with lag sounds awful, and it’s sad it prevents the true experience. So thank you so much for your advice, much appreciated.
Wow, this is an amazing post, thank you very much!
I played through Calamity on Revengeance during covid (took me a week to just kill Calamitas?), then tried a Infernum run with and without friends last year, and I got beat hard. I love Terraria so much, was so happy to discover Calamity, as the content added is top notch, but if there’s modpack for even more content, I’ll definitely find some time to try it.
But dying just 30 times to a boss? Took me about 170 attempts to kill King Slime in Infernum, after reworking my arena multiple times. I’m very bad at the game.

I know it’s infantile, but.
He looks exactly the same level of crazy like Elizabeth Holmes, and I hope he ends up like her (but he won’t).

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
We can nitpick specific examples for everything you want, and we will be correct, but that detracts from the point that Gabe has helped to build things that took decades of slowly getting anywhere.
I wish we didn’t need it, but we do.
Like forever in Linux.
