Yes…? My only problem with Shadows was the story being a mess. I quite liked the gameplay even though I would’ve preferred something closer to Mirage.
- Comment on Ubisoft Reportedly Cancelled A Co-op Multiplayer Assassin's Creed Title 1 day ago:
The launch of Ubisoft’s Vantage Studios, the company’s first “Creative House” set to oversee the Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six franchises, disrupted those plans as in-development titles came under review as part of the restructure.
And people told me the Tencent partnership would make things better…

Actually now that I checked my Firefox, it’s still there? I’m on version 147.
- Comment on [Episode] Fate/strange Fake - Episode 5 discussion 4 days ago:
Still a great episode but it’s really starting to show that they had to cut and speed through some scenes to make it fit in 13 episodes. Heracles’ and Prelati’s summoning sequences were much more poignant in the light novel and I really wish Prelati’s summoning chant was animated because it really expresses her attitude towards magecraft. I recommend reading both of their summoning sequences in the light novel if you guys can.
- Comment on [Episode] Fate/strange Fake - Episode 5 discussion 4 days ago:
Okay so we see how Heracles was summoned normally and was altered. I take it wasn’t just command spells that corrupted him.
Bazdilot used the grail mud from Fuyuki to corrupt Heracles further. I’m a bit disappointed that the summoning sequence was pretty rushed through compared to the light novel but it can’t be helped given the 13 episode schedule.

- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 5 days ago:
Didn’t people generally hate pocket’s forced integration? Anyways I’ve never said that they’ve never removed features nor was disagreeing that what you said isn’t generally true. It’s just that the list posted has a lot of examples that aren’t exactly a removal of a Firefox feature which hurts the argument being made. There’s more than enough reasons as you mentions to make a case for it.
Like another user said, where’s “open image in new tab”? (I notice you didn’t reply to them.)
I don’t see where’s the relevance in pointing out that I didn’t reply to another user’s post when I’m in agreement with them.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 5 days ago:
A lot of these are extensions that are folded into the main Firefox feature set, experimental features or not even related to the browser?

Finally caught up with it since I’ve been busy. As a LN reader, I’m very pleased with the adaptation so far. Even though it’s pretty packed and dense, it doesn’t feel like they’ve been missing out on any key scenes at all it seems.

Well I can definitely agree with that if it’s minor things like these. After all, you’re likely to not encounter this person after the conversation online. However, I think it’s a very different context if the object in question is more concrete and something you can own to improve your QOL or more.
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 1 week ago:
Mind expanding on that? Because to put it bluntly, part of it just sounds like giving up and stagnating.
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 1 week ago:
What’s the difference between that and suppressing your true feelings? From my perspective, it just seems like a strategy for bottling up what you actually feel rather than letting your true feelings out. On the surface at least, it sounds like that’s a recipe for it blowing up at some point in a much worse way?

I’d argue Y7 and Y7: Gaiden was better than Y3 - Y5. Tbh I feel like things really went downhill only after Y8.

Hence why I mentioned Excel or it’s alternatives. I was responding to you referring to spreadsheet software as a simple matrix.

Tables isn’t what make Excel or it’s alternatives excel at tasks. If that’s all it were, it’d be easily replaced. The formulas and all the other features that help you format, arrange and represent that data is what really makes it good.
- Comment on [Episode] Fate/strange Fake - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
This is a re-release as part of the start of it airing as seasonal anime. They definitely improved this episode a lot compared to it’s premiere a year ago. Animations are far smoother, in-betweens and backgrounds are a lot more detailed. Theres some additional camera angles for certain scenes and a few additional small animated details that wasn’t in the original premiere.

but that’s because the OS is designed in such a way where there’s nothing there
Ehh OSX uses the top of the screen as a menu bar so for apps which have a lot of menu bar options, those are gone. A lot of third party apps also let you place helpful widgets on the menu bar so that’s kinda not a thing anymore either.

If you’ve used the pre-Force Touch trackpads, those do physically move and imo are still the best trackpads I’ve ever used. Once you have that experience, you can tell very clearly that the new ones don’t physically move and personally I can’t stand the new ones as a result.

As if there’s not already more than enough reasons to always have an ad blocker… If you absolutely still need to use Facebook and Instagramto keep in touch with people, there’s browser extensions and patched apps that still block the ads.

- Comment on China's banned memory-maker CXMT unveils surprising new chipmaking capabilities despite crushing US export restrictions — DDR5-8000 and LPDDR5X-10667 displayed 1 month ago:
What democracy? Lol. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with making your own judgments because even as you’re in the US, you are more than the simple fact that you live in the US and so I don’t think that invalidates your opinions.
As it is right now, the US is still more democratic than China is. It’s trending towards authoritarianism but you guys can still vote can’t you? Your politicians can still reasonably voice their disagreements with the president without suddenly disappearing without a trace isn’t it? Heck, we can have this conversation right now without worrying this site gets banned or the whole thread censored by the state after all.

I’m in Asia lol. While China is fairly high profile being the largest Asian country here, plenty of other Asian countries do the same with investment in public infrastructure whole being a democratic nation.

DeepSeek was frankly oversold and I personally don’t think we should be investing that much time and energy in LLMs anyways. I’ll give them that for EVs but they easily cost 2x of a standard ICE Japanese car here since China companies seem to be targeting the luxury car market so it didn’t occur to me at all.
Not sure why you even brought up American cars to be honest.
That said, I was thinking more of semiconductors and there’s been so much news of Huawei doing all sorts of things that have went nowhere so far.
