  • The first four dragon warriors/quests were surprisingly ambitious.

    DW is one of the first console RPGs.

    DW2 is in many ways the template for a generation of RPGs, with progressively gathering party members and opening up the map via gaining new travel modes.

    DW3 is still amazing. The party creation and job system is done better than most other attempts at it. And returning the old world was so cool.

    DW4 had a true multi-perspective narrative with a detailed story. Unlike anything else that had come out before.

    Later DW/DQs stopped innovating as much and stagnated, much as the entire JRPG genre feels stagnant.



  • Are you against roads?

    Do you use the sidewalk without paying a fee to a private entity that helped develop it?

    Housing doesn’t have to be a scarcity market. I don’t anyone is complaining about people who own a house, but people are complaining about companies and individuals who own 10,000 homes.


  • It is easy, if you can get a mortgage.

    I currently pay less than $2k a month on my mortgage. A 1 bedroom apartment near me is about $1.8-2.5k and a 2 bedroom is $2.5-3.5k a month. People aren’t lazy and not buying houses because it’s so fun to live in an apartment, they are doing it because they can’t get a loan.

    The only difficult thing about buying a house is the hours of paperwork and surprise costs that make no sense.





  • The issue is new users.

    If you have a vague understanding that Linux has distros and to switch to Linux, you’ll likely Google “best Linux distro.” Results that say “they all are good for different reasons” are unhelpful. Having sort through 50 options isn’t helpful.

    New users want to know what to install. This means that some distros get hyped up as the best, and then people point out the cracks.

    Until there is a clear and objective list of distros with pros and cons labeled the cycle will continue.
