It’s not that the icons are tiny, rather people driving usually operate by touch because their eyes need to be on the road.

Rich people. The cost is rich people.

That’s a very cromulent thing to say.

It’s a tough and punishing game where 100 hours of grind means MAYBE the latest boss won’t KO you in a single hit.

It has 18 different weapons that each require a 20 minute tutorial from some guy on YouTube, and each requiring 20 hours to master. It’s a “the wand chooses the wizard Harry” and everyone is going to have their own favorite weapon. I myself ended up being a Charge Blade user, which is the most technical weapon in the game. Using it is like performing a Japanese Tea Ceremony whilst battling a 15 foot long alligator in a small room.

Melee weapons need sharpening mid battle, range weapons need ammo you have to craft before entering battle else you are SOL. Your stamina requires that you eat a large steak every 5 minutes or you will be constantly exhausted.

There is no twitch. Every action needs to be deliberate. A monster takes minutes of constant fire to stun or paralyze, during which time someone with a large weapon administers the tea he has been brewing. It’s called a Super Amped Elemental Discharge.

Loot is random but the part you want can only spawn when you damage the proper parts with the proper weapon.

So what makes me like this game? This kinda gameplay loop means Losing is par for the course. No “git gud” or “skills issue” kids are ever going to play this game. A skilled healer/buffer is treated as a god among men, unlike Overwatch where it’s your fault the team that spread itself all over the map got wiped out.

Tldr. Playing 100 hours of monster hunter filters the player base down to a group of Zen Monk Masochists that enjoy 2 things.

1. Spending 40 minutes taking down a 4 winged dragon that farts lightning every 10 seconds.

2. Each other’s company.

I hope this makes sense.

For earnest reasons? 8bitdo does firmware updates to improve stability and latency, and fix features broken when Xbox, or Nintendo update something on their consoles. All using a stand alone app that just phones home and downloads the latest firmware payload for ALL its controllers without any login.

EDIT: You don’t even need the app. 8bitdo’s website has all their firmwares available to download and install as and when you need. The app is so dyslexic fools like me don’t accidentally brick something with the wrong payload.

Microsoft however, may push some bullshit does nothing update simply to make you sign into their app.

Now I feel old

God grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And wisdom to know the difference.

Nothingers! Do we get a secret handshake? A mid range phone, that doesnt feel like a mid range phone. My previous phone was Oneplus 6. Nothing 2a feels like how Oneplus 6 felt right at the beginning, at 30% lower a price. I’m loving the face down light only notifications, and the gesture navigation. Gestures means i can use my one thumb to scroll back and forth easily.

Things always change in the world. Case in point being Lemmy and Federation. Whatever comes after uBO will never be like the same old thing, but we just keep on going forward and fondly remember the nice things we used to have, thanking those that worked tirelessly so we could enjoy those nice things.

Indeed I’m using ubo full on my nothing 2a, and it feels like nothing at all.

It would seem that the ubo lite version was made specifically to cater to chrome and manifest v3 if I’m not mistaken…

In the end the author may have just felt it was too much energy keeping a pared down chrome version on Firefox when the full version is present and working. Especially after this particular drama.

Must be one of those people that are scared by term windows

Haha. I would not be surprised if this is truly the case. However I do not believe that it’s as simple as just straight up asking for money.

In his native state of Johor, there was a mega project called Forest City built by China developers that was effectively halted by then Prime Minister Mahathir in 2018. This PM has famously been known to have bad blood with the Johor royal family. My guess is this visit is also to discuss revitalizing this project, allowing China to recoup some of that lost investment.

Traveling with him are both the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Housing, lending some merit to this rumour.

Speaking of evidence, the latest UN report I could find was in August 2022. Direct accounts of 40 individuals from an alleged 1.3 million detained.

I do wish to see a follow up report

The way that Auntie feeds ever larger victory parties is an insanely awesome gag.

Used to be that 5 out of 6 on the team could be dead but the 6th was a Mercy with her ult charged. She swoops in and pulls off a hail Mary 5 man resurrection that totally wrecks the opposing team.

Or Lucio was able to speed rush an entire team onto point with a well times speed buff.

Those kinds of whacky plays kept even the most skilled players on their toes.

They patched all that out of the game in the first year or two.

The moral is play with the smallest hitbox, and team up with a squad of teammates larger than you.

Afro ftw! Huge landscape panoramas would be best.

After several anime involving medical professionals getting isekai’d, this is a welcome breath of fresh air.

I found this place on vacation.
