  • I didn’t play any Zelda title on the GBA, but those could work due to their puzzle focus. However, even fully combat oriented games couldn’t really do much more than Zelda did in terms of their combat system, which ended up being quite dull.

    I kind of liked the Legacy of Goku series, just because I like Dragon Ball and because level ups made a huge difference. The battle system wasn’t anything special, but it was satisfying to just grind a bit and afterwards demolishing anything in your path - just repeat this in any given new area.








  • ‘1 - 1,000,000 - 900 - 7 & 80 - 1,000 - 600 - 4 & 50’

    Large numbers are alway broken up into blocks of 3, pronounced like the initial numbers from 0 to 999 + the name of the long scale number (thousand, million, etc.).

    Short scale, in english goes like this this: Thousand (3 zeros), Million (6), Billion (9), Trillion (12)…

    Long scale, as used in german, goes like this: Tausend (3), Millionen (6), Milliarden (9), Billionen (12), Billiarden (15), Trillionen (18)…

    Long scale kind of makes more sense since starting with Million the names just count upwards. Million, Bi-llion (2), Tri-llion (3), etc. But since you still start with Thousand in short scale, Billion is the 3rd, Trillion the 4th and so on. If you want to figure out Octodeci-llion (18), the formula to get the amount of zeroes in short scale is ‘18 * 3 +3’ and in long scale ‘18 * 6’. Also keeps the names pronouncable for longer than short scale. However, it does make translating the names of large numbers between both languages a nightmare.

    Nah, I usually find the solution on the arch website. If that doesn’t work, it’s in the forum - which is usually the first search result on all major search engines for any given pacman problem. Once you’ve found the solution it’s hardly more than just copy-pasting it.

    I really don’t get these memes. In about 9 years of daily use on multiple systems I never had anything break beyond a multitude of failures to update with pacman - all of which could be fixed within minutes - and in the early years having to restart my system every couple of months because it stopped recognizing USB devices - after many rounds of updates mind you. I’ve had more frequent troubles with windows. How did Arch get this bad rep?
