> Nine Sols was a way easier game

For me it was the other way around. In Nine Sols I got immediately stuck in the boss (mini-boss?) fight against two enemies and the flying gal.

Hollow Knight was difficult at times (Coliseum of Fools, Radiance) but it never felt unfair. Some fights (Mantis Lords, Grimm) are among the best times I've had playing a game

Amazing list by Nabokov, and "strong opinions" indeed

Something like 8 years ago I used this tutorial to get unlimited food at the uni vending machine. Good times.

> Never even heard of one of their "prominent" supporters.

That's entirely on you. There are some big names in the (european) comic book industry.

THIS is the best resource on dithering I've read (except maybe some gritty details in forum posts by the author of Obra Dinn)

I played Myst on my second pc, on Windows 98. It was an amazing experience, even if I never finished it.

I re-played on the Nintendo Switch, and it was again amazing (I managed to finish it this time).

Never played any of the sequels, so I hope Riven makes it to Switch too

My conclusion is that LAION is built using model upon model upon model; so each error propagates and the resulting dataset is kinda shitty.

But "we" made amazing stuff out of LAION.

So: the next person who can curate a high-quality big dataset is gonna make a fortune

"The Codebreakers" is an incredible book. One of the books I would save during a fire.
