  Transparency is fine if it’s used for stuff like the background of a window, since you’d want tod emphasize that anyways but I have to agree that using it for icons hurts usability so much.

  Isn’t that now for their cross country trains as opposed to their subways?

  I liked 0 far better but I got to give credit to the original for setting it up so that the strong notes of 0 could hit as hard as they could. That ending of that one episode where they played Lyra still destroys me to this day.

  Is that Mio? That’s the same surname, hair and it definitely sounds like her. Can’t wait to see her.

  Yea ally things considered, I think the device is reasonably priced for what it is. The Deck was exceptionally cheap on launch so I don’t think it’s a fair comparison. The specs of the Deck weren’t really mind blowing either when it came out, what made it great was the package as a whole and for the price, it did great. The specs of this device is already way beyond what the Deck has even accounting for the 3 year gap.

  Smae thing that Nvidia does with OpenGL. Their driver handles a lot erroneous out of spec behaviour so developers think their game works fine but the moment you run it on AMD or Intel GPUs, you get all sorts of issues because they actually implement the spec accurately.

  Isn’t there some form of sampling bias here though? The kind of people who generally would care about these things likely also care about interoperability and would be on Android. I wouldn’t be surprised if iPhone users simply don’t care if Apple demands them to do anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t think a show could make me laugh harder than Nichijou did but Arawi and Kyoani did it. It was way better than I could have ever hoped for. The whole champon scene killed me and I actually had to pause the show because of how much it tickled me. And man did it really make me miss the dry champon I had in Nagasaki.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 | OFFICIAL TRAILER⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone knows if season 2 will. Be more like the first cour of season 1 or the 2nd cour of season 1? I personally wasn’t a fan of the 2nd cour as it felt like a completely different show that was very battle shounen-ish compared to the first half.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spring Anime Season Wrap-Up, Summer Kickoff, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 27]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t been following this season as tightly, wanted to watch a few more but was only able to make time for:

  • Food for the Soul: Only about half way through but it’s such a fun watch, the interactions between the girls are hilarious and I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. PA Works continues to surprise me.
  • Shiunji Family Children: Started watching this with friends as a drinking game and damn, alcohol can’t save this. Still, it’s pretty crazy how well animated this is despite how trashy the story can be. Though not gonna lie, there was a part regarding foster parents which I was pleasantly surprised they decide to delve into but I can’t say much more than it was somewhat cool.

  Can’t wait for CITY next season though! Just did a rewatch of Nichijou to prepare for it and I keep forgetting how much this show brightens my day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I like my Deck, they’re not really able to fulfill the role of a Switch for party games since a number of them are exclusives and setting up controllers are a bit more tedious than joycons which are essentially plug and play.

  Most PC handhelds are also fairly bulky and heavy, I find myself struggling to hold them unless I’m resting it on my lap or a table while sitting so this may not be great for a 7 year old.
