  • It’s probably Lawson on the chopping block. Next year (assuming they want to do things the right way) they need someone with experience in the second seat to help with development and Tsunoda has more experience than Hadjar and Lawson combined. Lawson also bombed out of the RBR and he isn’t doing that much better in the RB, his future prospects look dim. If the rest of the season continues the same for Lawson there’s no reason to keep him for 2026.

    Then again, this is RBR we’re talking about. They’re not known for making rational decisions when it comes to drivers.



  • I need to do another vertical factory playthrough. That playthrough was a bit of a blueprint headache because no vertical splitters. Imagine a 5x5 grid (7x7 would’ve made it easier but IMO we unlock it way too late in the game for it to be useful in that playthrough) getting 4 inputs coming up from the bottom, rotating them to become horizontal, then splitting them so half of the 4 inputs could go into the manufacturer and the other half positioned in a way that when they get rotated back into vertical their output would align with the input. It was a mess, I nearly gave up.

    And when you got the blueprint ready it was really annoying to connect the blueprints so hopefully the auto-connect solves the other issue I had with vertical builds.







  • Depends on how you define wiping the slate clean? Just for the users or also for the hardware and software vendors?

    Because the difficulty of Linux comes from the lack of hardware and software support. If you just compare the OS then for the average user there little to no difference in terms of functionality. People probably would ever prefer Linux due to it being just generally faster than Windows. You wouldn’t pay extra to to get something that runs worse.

    What people will pay extra for is the guarantee that their hardware and software just works. The only benefit Windows has is that you don’t have to worry if your hardware or software will work because in 99.9% of the time it does and if it doesn’t you can contact support and they won’t instantly tell you your system isn’t supported.

    Strictly personal reason. When the lemmy devs asked for monetary donations I voiced my concern with Lemmy.ml, which they also maintain. In response one of the devs called me a cheapskate, so I decided I’m done with Lemmy until more normal people become maintainers

    Edit: forgot to add that it wasn’t the only reason. The devs themselves are rather controversial in their beliefs and moderation and I had reluctantly tolerated thoss things up to that point. The dev interaction was simply the last drop in the bucket.





  • You can skip some fights by running past enemies, but if you’re struggling with combat the best solution is to take some time to optimize your builds. The game incentivizes glass cannon builds where you generally kill mobs before they can even attack. If they can’t attack you don’t have to worry about dodging/partying. I won’t give any actual builds, those take too much effort and IMO it’s more fun to figure them out yourself. But I will give some tips to make combat easier.

    If you have defensive pictos/lumina equipped swap them for damage or AP.

    Don’t be scared to use color of lumina (for more lumina points) as you can get hundreds of them throughout the game. Trust me, having more lumina equipped will absolutely make the game easier

    Also don’t be scared to use recoats to respec your characters, you can get plenty of recoats. Try out different skills as some of them are more useful than others.

    If you’re struggling to strike first in combat equip first strike lumina on all characters. That lumina pretty much becomes mandatory in late game as even with all the speed modifiers stacked you still might not start first.

    Also invest points into agility. Agility is the main stat for speed and speed dictates how often you can attack.
