  • I imagine, you guys might be measuring with two different scales. Early Windows versions were fine, but even back then, a switch to Linux would give you so much more customizability to actually make it yours.

    This is a dumb anecdote, but I switched to Linux from Windows 8, and pretty much the first thing I did, was to figure out how to hide the window titlebars. Mostly because I realized, I could, but they also just took screen space away on my laptop.

    I see you’re also from Germany, so I understand your roommate not knowing this is an option, but bidets are cheaper and do a better job cleaning.

    Like, I bought a dumb travel bidet a while ago and even that’s a solid upgrade from scrubbing with toilet paper.

    Hmm, okay, that seems more reasonable then. I didn’t know they had a recipe book built-in these days.

    And well, at least you don’t need wolf armor, so even if you never find armadillos, it’s not a problem.

    I’m not saying there shouldn’t be puzzles. I’m criticizing that this puzzle is impossible to solve.
    No one will wish to protect their dog and then realize they need to place 6 armadillo scutes in a chair-like pattern into a crafting grid.

    Some might try to brute-force crafting patterns with armadillo scutes, but that is not fun.
    And just looking up what to do with armadillo scutes, that is not fun either.

    I mean, I can get behind that. It doesn’t increase gameplay complexity and people enjoy having their doggos in different colors.

    But adding a whole new mob and items for one specific niche purpose, that increases complexity quite a bit. New players will have no idea what to do with the armadillo drops, without looking it up or being told by that AI narrator thing, I guess.

    I did not keep up with Minecraft over the years, only just looked into this now, but yeah, this seems so arbitrary. There’s a mob (armadillos), then an intermediate item (armadillo scutes) and the only usage for that is crafting wolf armor.

    Whatever happened to not having a million different items? Like, that’s pretty much game design 101, to combine mechanics where possible. They could have allowed equipping a leather body armor on a wolf for the same gameplay mechanic.
    But it really does look like they wanted to add some animal for the publicity and then needed to shoehorn any purpose at all for it.

    Oh goshdarnit, I was so confused why they made the wolf fur this weird salmon/brick color. Apparently, that’s an armadillo shell…? They really turned Minecraft into modded Minecraft, didn’t they?
