  • Last of Us 1 was really good. But the second one was so bad, it kind of ruined the first one for me as well. And I wouldn’t call it masterpiece. Because for me a masterpiece shines in gameplay, narrative and atmosphere. The Last of Us’ gameplay serves its purpose, but there’s really nothing special here compared to e.g. Elden Ring, were story, atmosphere and gameplay are all pretty much perfect.

    Yeah well, too bad. Even open source needs money. If you don’t want to support the team, then don’t. But quit whining. Typst is completely Open Source.

    Their business model is providing a cloud hosted platform for your projects. But if you don’t want that then you can just run it offline on your local machine.

    I swear, some people here remind me every day why a significant portion of the population hates us leftists!

    I would say the general design philosophy. It works pretty much perfectly for what it’s supposed to do. But the strong suit of LuaTex is that it can execute pretty much any code you want. So, you could in theory execute a fluid simulation each time you compile your document and insert the result as an image. The Typst Scripting language obviously can’t do that because it’s locked into the typst sandbox.

    My particular use case is that I have some data accessible via an open API and I would love to skip the step where I update the data CSV every day or week. So, not really a breaking feature, but nice to have nonetheless.

    I’ve completely switched over to Typst and it’s so much better. All of the typesetting capabilities of LaTex but without 99% of the headache. Now all it needs is all of the neat little edge case extensions that LaTeX has gathered over the years. And possibly a real scripting language interface like LuaTex.

    Except for his covering up of child molestings and his stance on LGBT and female priesthood he seems alright.

    But that means he’s still a step down from Francis and it still means he won’t bring the church into the 21st century.

    But I guess it could have been way worse.
