  • I’m currently still playing it - just because I got it on PSN. I’m not at all into the Harry Potter lore, ok one boring weekend I watched the films and they are OK - but it’s not my kind of topic at all.

    So as a non potter fan: The game is absolutely beautiful, combat is ok I agree but all those side quests are not creative, they are frequently boring - as in many meh open worlds. (I enjoy open world, Witcher 3, Horizon - much better)

    I think Legacy had better followed a system like the modern God of War, where the story drives what you can access.

    Because it’s so beautiful I explored the full map as soon I had a broom, so no there’s no sense of wonder having the story play in a new part of the map.

    Having played far cry, I started taking out camps just for fun early - as soon you can get invisible you can just cheese a lot of the enemies. All that combat feels disconnected from the story, they could have just left it out.

    Learning new spells in class is like cool on one hanf and feels like one of my nightmares where I’m back in school on the other. The tasks you need to complete for each, come one collect a potion buy some stuff - didn’t they have better ideas.

    Probably a lot could have been made out of the school situation with all the shenanigans between pupils, but the game is so fucking politically correct they won’t even play pranks on each other.

    We’re the teacher’s pet. Yaaawn. What about being on a mission while everyone sees you as a no good troublemaker?

    Still overall a really OK game, but not great.

    As a man I’d have never believed how common such behavior is. I’d have thought that’s really outlandish.

    Now I’ve gone through the (probably stereotypical) process of a guy having a daughter, she’s an adult now.

    What she told me - no, all this stuff isn’t unusual at all. The first time she was afraid (and called me as she already had a phone of her own) she was not even 10 years old, riding her bike from my place to the ex-wife’s place, teenage boys catcalling her.

    There’s a lot of us men around who find it hard to believe, because it doesn’t happen to US. But it does. Frequently.












  • a) Bei statisch typisierten Sprachen geht der Trend auch stark dort hin, dass der Complier für Dich die Typen ermittelt - zur Compile-Zeit. Auch haben viele davon auch die Möglichkeit punktuell dynamisch zu arbeiten, an genau den Stellen, wo man es braucht.

    b) Oh wow, du möchtest nicht “Speicherplatz fressen”. Dann nimm eine Sprache / Werkzeug / Library, die nicht pro gespeichertem Wert einzeln tracken muss, von welchem Typ sie ist. Hier zahlst Du in dynamischen Sprachen immer einen Performance-Overhead. Deswegen wird z. B. in Python viel Number crunching auch nicht in Python selbst gemacht, sondern in NumPy


  • So Germany didn’t have dictator oppression in the 30s and 40s? You think we didn’t have propaganda and we didn’t just kill people for another opinion? And we had access to outside information?

    I’m talking about a moral duty to oppose, to inform yourself in spite of all that. And I know it is not easy. We Germans failed that miserably.

    The plabook Putin is playing, we’ve been through it and it is was what lead to WW2.


  • No, not all Russians are evil and deserve to die. But closing your eyes and playing oblivious to what’s happening out there, just believing the state propaganda and living in a position “oh it’s just the bad leader” is not a morally OK position.

    If there is a dictator in your country you have some moral duty to find out at least a bit about the truth.

    How do I know?

    I’m German.

    My grandparent’s generation was the one that actively closed their eyes, that actively looked away, that everything that happend was someone else’s problem. They were the Generation that arranged themselves, that did good business as long as it wasn’t them that were deported, killed or fought at in the war.

    This is not a position that is morally OK, but this is what I see of a lot of Russians. Not all, but a lot.
