And even before King's Field, this is just the way games used to be like. Games couldn't elaborate too much, so your options were:

a) you lucked out and it turns out your brain works exactly like the designer's and the cryptic hint make sense to you,

b) you use a guide/ask a friend/call a hotline,

c) you like the game so much you end up brute forcing your way through all of that stuff,

d) you just ignore that sidequest. I sure hope for you that finishing the main quest doesn't need you to guess something unreasonably obtuse... *COUGH* Legend of Zelda's final dungeon's location *COUGH*

I really like the idea conceptually, but I have two issues with it.

1. I sympathise a lot with the impulse here, as I do also feel personally that the way I grew up had the right balance of convenience and dangers, but I suspect all generations feel the same, and I'd be afraid that this is just imposing my nostalgia on my kids. I know, I know, kids seem scarily hypnotized by screens and social media, and trashy online content, but... My parents were also alarmed that when I was growing up that unchecked I could spend an entire weekend on the computer, with only reluctant breaks for food and sleep. Yet I think I grew up to be a reasonably well adjusted adult. I'd be also wary here that by imposing "my nostalgia" on my kids, I'd robbing them of building meaningful shared cultural bagage with their peers.

2. I'm afraid that by sheltering kids from the current state of technology, they will be poorly equipped to deal with it when they leave this protective bubble. No matter how much genie bottling we try, it's never going back in. The only way to a healthy relationship with technology, internet, etc... is through, not around or backwards. Create healthy tech, online habits, not by creating an environment where they cannot see the issues, but through good old parenting: setting a boundary when they're young, explaining it, and when you relax it as they get older confirm that they understood the reason for the boundaries and are placing healthy ones on their own.

Maybe the Netherlands are different, but I find it's usually not that specific countries make trash fruits and veggies, but export-bound fruits and vegetables have transport concerns that require them to be picked before they reach their peak. Here, american blueberries and strawberries are big, bland and watery, local ones are juicy, sweet, tart and delicious. Or corn, theirs is bland, ours is sweet. But I'm not convinced that americans that live near those farms have the same experience at all.

When I grow my tomatoes, they are usually picked at their peak ripeness, they were being pumped full of sugar and nutrients by the plant until the last second when I picked them and cooked with them. The ones that have to travel are picked before ripe, and "ripen" sad and alone in a truck with no extra nutrients, and when they reach me looking "ripe", it's usually a facade. Local market fruits and vegetables stand somewhere in between, depending on volume and channel it's being sold in.

There is a difference though between fruits and vegetables imported for year round availability, and those imported as a seasonal bounty; the later ones maintain quality as it sells relatively quickly in season and doesn't need to be picked as much in advance.

More "democracy", where you must win every time and the issue will keep coming up again and again, but if you lose once whoops the matter will never find its way back onto the docket and you will never get a chance to have it reversed.

Terms of service are full of terms that aren't legal in many jurisdiction, they're written brodadly and assuming that any ambiguity is in favor of the company so that they have the best possible position to argue from if anything has to be decided in court or arbitration.

He very probably did have a public defender, who seems to have done a very good job by the metric of what most public defenders understand their job to be: negociating with the DA.

Woods managed to not serve any additonal time after sentencing and didn't even have to admit guilt for that.

Considering how the real Woods was homeless and took over 30 years to even try to do anything about it, I think it's fair to assume he didn't have much, if any, social capital to draw on.

Great idea, and this is kind of solution is why improving performance of smaller local models is important, not just the highest quality state-of-the-art (local or cloud) models.

When it started, Mastodon had an existing userbase to communicate with on OStatus, in the existing GNU Social communities, so it could skip the "Who wants to talk to a ghost town?" era of a social media's growth.

Though this prompts us to wonder why GNU Social took off (modestly) but Diaspora didn't.
