NixOS is my new daily driver after a hard start and many copy+pasta from Github Repos ^^
When I first started my job, a coworker set me up with a machine running NixOS. I gave it a year before I binned it for Ubuntu. I just… didn’t see the point? The troubleshooting wasted so much of my time for seemingly no benefit.
The config file for managing basically the whole OS is amazing to begin with. Also the fact that the system is freshly rebuilt every update is neat too. And there is something where if a certain package requires a certain version of a library it will be installed alongside the current version just incase. Avoiding dependency hell.
About troubleshooting, the official wiki for nixos got made this year so it finally will start to make sense to new users. I used to use arch because of their amazing wiki but now I use nixos since there is an active effort to make it easier.
Was the original a joke about MMO learning curves with the top line being Path of Exile?
Eve Online is the finest, most intricate MMO ever created, and I absolutely hate it.
You might be able to get through the story and a couple of maps pretty easily without a guide, later acts will be difficult if you specced really wrong, but if you want to run endgame content and league mechanics while on a hardcore solo self founded character then you better go get fucking gud, mate.
You didn’t even care to relabel the axes, I don’t trust you.
The axis don’t make sense.
The original comic was about the learning curve of various games. The black line represents Dwarf Fortress
The original comic was very accurate
I have Dwarf Fortress on my wishlist and while it’s cheap to pick up…yeah that looks like X4 levels of complexity but in 2d. Not sure if I’ll ever be ready for that, haha.
As someone who loves it, It’s less a game and more a story generator. Until the company was hired to do the nicer graphics and interface for the Steam version it was a math PhD and his brother programming it as a work-in-progress complete fantasy world simulator. It still is but now it’s prettier. It feels very comfortable to call it the most complex game on Steam. Rimworld and Minecraft among others took direct inspiration from it, he’s been working on it awhile.
Famous patch notes include fixing cats dying from alcohol poisoning because they walked through a puddle of beer before cleaning themselves, egg yolk and egg white having different fluid densities, and nerfing mer-people farming because that’s just disturbing.
No, the black line is EVE Online. There could have been an edit replacing it with Dwarf Fortress, but the original is definitely about EVE Online.
Does this graph mean what it is supposed to mean for the joke to work? The black line means I learn much quicker with less time investment, i.e. it is easier than all the others.
That is a common misunderstanding of how learning curves work. A steep learning curve means your skill increases more rapidly with the invested time. That means the subject is easier or more intuitive.
You nearly had it. The black line starts higher at “gaining skill” so it requires more skill to start learning but after short time you are gaining much more skill in the same time.
It says “gaming skill”, not “gaining skill”. Whoever edited it forgot to edit that and “time playing”.
