anyway a much more practical use of stty is to disable `Ctrl+S`
(please do not explain to me how Ctrl+S was useful to you in the 80s or whatever)
Morrowind had the right idea - enemies scaled with you, but only through a fixed range based on area.
Also the dungeons, monsters, and treasure were hand-crafted and not randomized slop.
The thing I want to see most in an #Oblivion remaster is a rework of the game's incredibly bad level scaling system.
I was enjoying myself until I realized that I had picked the "wrong" build and would be unable to progress the game regardless of what I did.
If all enemies and loot scale to your level then there's no point in engaging with any of the content or leveling because it's always going to be equally hard and you're never going to find anything interesting (and it might even hurt you)
Every once in a while I'll see an alliance raid or dungeon boss fight where it's obvious they wanted to do something specific with the fight mechanics but then just didn't, maybe because it would have been too hard.
Often I think to myself, "what a wasted opportunity!" But then I think, wait, no, that will probably come back in a high-end raid. And with ultimates drawing from existing content, it might come back with another version of the exact same boss.
Learning languages is hard, but (a) the requirement here isn't fluency, and (b) I have most of a year left to nail this down.
And if I'm not there yet, I can just keep working at it. The end of the year is just the *earliest* I could test.
Gotta remind myself to just keep climbing.
I am still having that "I am struggling with recalling vocabulary to form interesting sentences and parsing fast spoken French and it means I am failing" problem, and every day it happens I look at the app and it reminds me it's only been five weeks.
In five weeks I have learned more than than the German I got in an entire year of high school.
