"it was a calculated withdrawal, from the life of the Republic, from its machinery. Since they could not have withdrawn into a vacuum (could they?), there had to exist the separate, silent, unsuspected world."

Billionaires already live in a magical reality where they're exempt from consequences for fraud, criminality, antisocial behavior. But that's not enough. Everyone else must be forced to live according to their precepts and be at the mercy of their whims. Perverse!

it's actually a compound problem of bad spacing between letters on top of too narrow space between words.
It's basically a textbook on everything that can go wrong in font rendering.

I still can't explain myself how he's unable to realize that the spacing of the font is all wrong.
There's not enough space between words. It's unreadable.
Unless the goal is to give dyslexia to all players.

Elden Ring used as an example: 69Gb for whole game + DLC, open world and massive amount of content.
I doubt there's any relevant amount of duplication in there. And on a mechanical drive (also extremely fragmented and almost completely full) load times are 5 seconds or less.

and you should be skeptical of all this: after all we've used standard disks for a very long time, duplication is one of those stupid trends that only modern techbros could conceive.

as a user of old spinner HDDs I can tell you it's a load of bullshit.
(just yesterday I installed Elden Ring Reforged because I saw you posting about it)
Doing duplication is a very cheap trick, with a minuscule benefit. The actual motive is laziness and not doing data management.

It's a love hate relationship, mostly hate.
There are too many contrary interests for all this possibly getting any better, and lots of them to get worse. So be glad it's not.
It's simple attrition at this point.

to specify, without going in detail: yes, sequential reads are faster, but it's all about memory management.
Using duplication works as a very DUMB strategy, when you are technically incompetent. There are tons of way to optimize data loading without adding 150Gb of bloat.

It's completely false, or rather an extremely superficial and misleading argument. Document yourself first.
