Ayy, Fingerpori! I know sopuli is hosted in Finland, but it's still nice to see Fingerpori outside of the Finnish communities.

Pretty sure that lightsabers are described as being plasma-based even in-universe, rather than lasers. I get that the name can be misleading in that sense.

It's at best pointless and uncomfortable, and at worst unhealthy.

I don't know what kind of game entropy center is, but puzzle is IMO not a wholly useful term, since there are different kinds of puzzles and portal falls into the physics puzzle subgenre. There probably are other fpp that aren't based around physics, but I can't think of any right now.

It's more of a line in the sand or a gradient than a hard point of "pass this and you're not human anymore".

Hat in Time is probably the last big indie 3d platformer, but I'd say Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a decent 3d platformer, unless you meant collectathon style 3d platformer a la what Rare made on the N64 etc. since you mentioned Hat.

Nope, what Prussia_X86 said sounds very much like homophobia. They won't serve his flamboyant fiance because he looks and acts "gay", and if they knew that Prussia_X86 was gay they wouldn't serve him either. While not all gays are as flamboyant as that his fiance sounds like, plenty are, and while not all flamboyant men aren't gay (or even attracted to men among other genders), a good chunk are. There's a reason a lot of people assume that flamboyant men are gay, and it's because a lot of them are.

FE is just rebranded RF. RF comes from the words "Redstone Flux" an energy source that was mainly used by Thermal Expansion 3. TE1&2 used MJ, but that has fallen out of use completely. FE stands for Forge Energy and is practically identical to RF apart from being baked into the Forge modloader, and was introduced in 1.12, where as RF was introduced back in 1.6, before RF was spun out into its own mod.

And a lot of mods use one or the other behind the scenes while renaming the front-facing energy system to something more thematically appropriate, which is what IE does with its IF. Immersive Flux is just a different brand of RF, which in turn is just another way of saying FE. Think of it like bottled water.

I did add the mod back but my stuff wasn't back. It's not a big loss, just slightly annoying. Like I said in another reply, I'm still in early game and only lost basic resources. This was more a warning and a vent of my frustrations. And I don't see any backups in any folder that I think might be relevant...

Some people like the taste of tea over the taste of soda, even if both are equally sickeningly sweet.

Also, the more console-like approach could be used to give external GPUs more uses. Sure, not everyone is going to get an eGPU, but it would be a nice option to have, instead of just having to replace the whole thing or offering two or three models of it like the various PS3 models, PS4 and it's Pro model, and the rumored PS5 Pro and the rumoured new base model with a detachable drive...

The issue is how much hidden sugar there is, especially in the US. Just look at how many things include stuff like corn syrup when it isn't all that necessary.

I tried looking for an automatic backup, but if it exists, I didn't find it. I didn't lose anything too important, I am still in early game. I mostly lost a bunch of basic resources like iron and other metal, some diamonds and so on. Though it seemed my bed might have also been deleted, since I don't remember putting it in the chest.

Not true about being able to only dissolve the sugar in hot tea, because if it was, the sugar would fall out once it cooled. You can dissolve the sugar into cold tea, it just takes more effort (so time and mixing) than doing it with hot tea and then cooling it. Cold water can hold approx. 1.7g of sugar per gram of water.

Oh look, you stumbled on to the point. Valve would benefit from making a more console-like pc (a la the steam boxes from yesteryear) because it could get more people into the valve ecosystem. There are people who buy consoles simply because they offer the simplicity of buying a prebuilt thing that you don't need to fudge around with and comes integrated with everything you need to run the games.
