I have never heard of the game, i guess you are referring to https://celeste.ink/wiki/Assist_Mode?

I can see they have lots of options! However the platforming seems to be slightly different? In case of HK I suppose that invincibility-like mode is what I suggested brought to the extreme (I.e. you can just walk over spikes etc). Maybe the other thing that could work is slowing the game down so that timing is easier to get.

I think it's an interesting discussion accessibility from this point of view. I think everyone draws the line at some point, between accessibility and simply making a game with some principles that represent the soul of the game.

Tbh it's a reflex and dexterity game, among other things, so it is not for everyone. In the same way a game that requires memorising melodies is not for me, since I suck hard at it.

I suppose there could be a mod that simply doesn't let you die and you can explore the whole world. There is no other way to make a platforming section easier, unless you add more anchor points etc., which requires actually changing the world (essentially, you remove the platforming section), so those could still be a problem.

Yeah I am almost at the end of the act 1 (i think?) and so far the impression is that if something seems to have a long walk or having to repeat a hard parcour section, I didn't find some hidden bench or shortcut to bypass said parcour section.

In general I can see this game being started as an expansion for HK, the difficulty is quite high and the curve steeper, but I can't relate with most of the complains so far (the currency maybe a little, but it's normal IMHO you can't just shop everything at once from a new vendor you find).

Initially I was put off by the double damage, but the heal being short and x3 I think compensates for it (plus, you can do it mid air etc.).

If anything I find the walkbacks much shorter than in the original. There is always a bench 30s/1m away from each boss or tough platforming section. At least so far...

I am using in on my FP3+ for about 4 years. The only app that didn't work for me was myswimpro and I suppose it is because I am blocking ads/trackers at network level. Biometrical login to my bank app doesn't work (the app doesn't allow it, rather).

No other problems so far.

He praised the choice trump made for the antitrust office back in December.

I have written my opinion on why this was way overblown, if you are interested.

They just published this FYI, and I found it very detailed and clear.

Yes, the model will need the data. They have a good page about this.

In the video scheduled to be posted on YouTube apparently there were more elements (talked about their own dressing style and not feeling either a man or a woman - according to some articles which translated the pages in russian).

I think this is overall irrelevant anyway. In their manifesto they go all over the place ideologically, from holocaust praise to trans rights, apparently. It's not like there was a consistent motivation behind, they were clearly unwell mentally - reporting depression and suicidal thoughts for years - and did the shooting to be killed.

In this case I am quite happy to be out of the loop, frankly. I can live in blissful ignorance of at least this stuff.

I feel completely out of the loop when stuff like this happens.

I went looking around and found an article that expanded a lot on this topic, https://maxread.substack.com/p/who-killed-jean-pormanove

What does ChatGPT have to do with this...? This is what FP themselves say https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/9836188988049-Audio-Jack-3-5mm

I have a FP3 with a jack, for reference. It doesn't have an IP rating. FP4 has IP54, FP5/6 both have IP55. Also yes, phones have become bigger, but they have more stuff inside. More cameras, for example.

I mean, the jack is literally a hole in the chassis of the phone, while I cannot exclude the fact that someone managed to make a design with good IP rating, I can very easily see that it makes it much harder.
