I take it you didn't play ranged weapons then. :D They tried to modernise the combat and kind of made it worse, except ranged combat though. Free aim was just a lot better than target locking in earlier games. But melee in 3 wasn't really fun. That said, huge battles generally worked better in 3 and there were a lot more of them with a lot more NPCs involved, so that was kinda cool. Magic was also a bit more fun. But yeah, the game was overly ambitious in many ways and that hurt it a lot, even if you *disregard the clusterfuck of a release and its aftermath...

Well yeah, there is no beating 1 & 2, but it still holds up IMHO. Huge world with no loading screen in sight, passable story and side-quests. But what was really great about that game was the music. Combat was meh though, still a Gothic game after all.

I think Gothic 3 was actually quite a solid game with the community patches. That said, the official state of the game is simply insulting to this day, because after the catastrophe of a release it had the developer and publisher parted ways and the game was never properly fixed by either of them.

This messy and very public divorce is also the main reason the Gothic series died, the publisher (Jowood) retained the rights and gave it to other developer studios which created games that more or less flopped (G3 expansion, Arcania). But what do you expect from a publisher that lets the game get fixed by fans instead of actually paying people for it. I mean at least they gave them access to the source, so that's something, but still...

WYSIWYG means there is just one window and it correctly displays however the end result will be. Like using Word.

The only thing WYSIWYG means is "what you see is what you get". If you have a live preview you see what you get. *shrug*

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I have seen an editor that does it in a single pane, but couldn't recall the name of it right now for the life of me. Also not sure if it used Electron...

Split window + live preview is presumably much easier to program

Yes, obviously. It's actually so simple that I once built this myself in a few hours, with a bit of Qt and a call to pandoc. You can skip building, saving, and updating an abstract syntax tree, as well as expanding the nodes the cursor is in to the markdown source, which is a whole lot of complexity.

I’m not sure if it’s impossible to create a proper WYSIWYG editor without electron or just nobody has bothered.

Of course it's possible. But by now there are like hundreds of markdown editors around, so the problem will be finding the one that meets your specifications between the avalanche of those which don't.

Oh I see now, opened the post on the hexbear website and it says "*removed externally hosted image*". On lemmy.ml it still shows the image though, so the removal is probably dynamic and doesn't touch the post in the DB.

It's an embed of XKCD 927: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards_2x.png

Not sure what you are referring to, the post hasn't been edited.

So... you see what you get?

You are welcome. Forgot to say, for proper WYSIWYG you have to click the HTML-Tag button in the lower right corner.

That tweet in the OP is bullshit.

truck drivers will be entirely replaced

Oh, the thing Elon predicted will happen "within the next year" repeatedly for the last ten years will finally happen for real? This is starting to feel like that in-joke about fusion reactors.

I will add to this the random fact that Stirn means forehead in German, and is commonly used in the idiom "die Stirn haben" which translates to "to have the nerve". So Stirner would be an apt name for a lowest common denominator strawman pseudonym.

I know this is a made up state, but please don't ask how I know...

I personally prefer the epic struggle between the UK and the UK. I think they called it Brexit.

Do you mean not initially designed to support? Because at least for displays and networking (in the sense of being able to send X events over the network) that seems wrong, a network capable display server is basically X's entire purpose? And for keyboards and mice there are extensions now, so x.org as a standard now very much supports those by design. Actually to my knowledge Wayland basically just forked their keyboard standard, the X Keyboard Extension.

• "authoritarian ideology"
• "gas chamber"
• "born 50 yrs earlier" (i.e. they are talking about 50 years ago plus the users age)
• user is from Germany apparently

To me it looks pretty clear cut that they are referring to the Nazis and are implying that both Tankies and Nazis are authoritarians, which is why they used that word instead of Tankie. You do you though.

Off topic: If you put the appropriate number of > (the space following the > is semantic) on the empty lines between the quotes they will connect. Had me a bit confused for a second there because I divided by paragraphs intuitively.

Back to topic: I don't see anything supporting your hypothesis in those quotes.

As pointed out in the linked comment chain, the person might just be old enough to be referring to the Nazis. Another indication of this is that the person is posting from a German domain, so probably born there, so probably referring to being born there but earlier.

Quarto looks quite interesting indeed, thanks for pointing it out!
