  • The AvP aliens and Diablo 1 Butcher are brilliant. But also would like to add two creatures from Dead Space: the wall snake, and the one who regenerates.

    Motivation/spoilers

    The wall snake is more of a surprise. But it is such a great setup. You walk into a corridor and you see a hole in the wall. You are very careful not to take your eyes off it. Then you exit, nothing happened. You ho on, do some other stuff, and you have forgotten all about it. Then bam you opened the door to the corridor but forgot about it, a snake grabs you and throws you arround, and you realize where you are.

    And the regenerating one. Brilliant. You face it, start you usual thing, shoot the limbs, it goes down, nice. It fucking regrows its limbs?! Run! Slow it down, run, slow, run, …







  • Eventhough it is old, it was interesting.

    I think one of the things that have changed, and will even more since then, is the “getting the application from the author”. Does not all enterprise spaces now adays, and even more with llms and vibecoding, want their employees to not be able to get applications from the author, only from a certified source. They’d say if Apple says it is fine, go ahead, but they would not trust a random author.

    What I mean is not that this point to some solution, but rather yet another problem for the linux desktop, in enterprise spaces at least. And it is a growing problem.
