TL;DR

Here’s a first look at the Desktop Android version of Google Chrome, which supports browser extensions.

Extension support is pretty rudimentary at the moment, but Google is hard at work making it better.

The Desktop Android version of Chrome is intended for Chromebooks and PCs that run Android and not phones or tablets.

The distinction is significant, because there is no support for hardware keyboard and mouse in firefox for android, which makes it difficult to use for Chromebooks and PCs that run Android.

I didn’t realize they were still around. It’s awesome to see they’re still sticking to id tech.

“Every sub on Reddit is like a HS drama fest” is too true. I’m not interested in the drama. What I’m interested in is the fact that Mr Threat Interactive has admitted to not knowing what the fuck he was talking about regarding anything related to graphics and engine design a year ago, put out a video titled “graphics are being murdered” just a few months after, and now thinks the entire industry is out to get him after being put in his place by people who do actually have experience in this niche field because he thinks his facebook boomer tier research is just as good as their experience. This guy is the anti vax of video games.

Yes, I can see how you might not want to boycott a company if you’re worried about them not making money because of it.

It still has an extremely charming aesthetic that’s still hard to find anywhere else.

Perhaps his friends do not have smart phones, because they do not want smart phones.

human is undoubtedly making connections and associations far more complex and expressive, but at bottom it’s all just “sound = thing”, no? 🤔

The understanding of this complex and expressive structure is significant because it allows you to convey novel or abstract information. You will not be able to explain what a walk is to a dog without a demonstration, while you will be able to do so (to some degree) to the unfortunate hypothetical person who have never taken one before.

It’s also a compiled blob, which is wonderful news if you were developing closed source software. You don’t have to work around javascript with pesky obfuscation tricks to protect your intellectual property anymore! ♥️

That would only be a valid comparison if the american brand dehumidifier, as a complete product, was a part of the chinese one’s bill of materials. This is closer to the cartoon meme image where McGuyver builds a megaphone out of a squirrel, twigs, and a megaphone.

In both those cases you still have to pay one thousand dollars in rent every month to the actual property owner, so I don’t know if I would call that home ownership except only in the most generous sense.

Proton/wine makes no security assurances, so it will be able to do anything that any other program you run is able to do. If a trojan or rat recognizes that it is running under wine, it can bring in some native Linux malware as well and it will execute just fine. https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=34573

If something happens I’ll make a switch.

To what?

Yes, I understand. I am claiming that colossal weapon users simply have less gaps to exploit and aren’t provided with enough advantages to compensate for the lack of attack opportunities for most bosses. And after playing the other souls games, this lack of opportunity is made even more readily apparent in comparison.

My time with bloodborne (saw cleaver) and sekiro (there is only one playstyle) gave me a taste of From Software’s design when they decide to treat your playstyle as a first class citizen, and I had a wonderful time. I just didn’t get that same feeling at any point in Elden Ring is all.

Yeah, after thinking it through, I can see where my confusion came from. Elden Ring might be significantly easier or significantly harder than the other Souls games depending on how you played the other Souls games.

I guess I wish that they had provided more scaling variety within the various build types instead of across them.

It’s honestly one of the easiest From games, once you engage with the particulars.

I see this being said from time to time and I thought it was just me not “Gitting Gud”, so after being filtered by Captain Niall even with my mimic summon, I went through and cleared Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 1 and 3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro all for the first time, and they were a fucking breeze compared to Elden Ring. I used a strength scaled zweihander in the Demon/Souls games to have the closest comparison possible (and also because I think it looks good). I guess it depends on which weapons you enjoy using, but the fact that there’s such a big skill discrepancy between entire weapon categories is in itself a pretty big stain on Elden Ring’s claim to be an RPG.

edit: I shouldn’t say they were all a breeze. Bloodborne and Sekiro were difficult for sure. Not even close to comparable to my experience with Elden Ring though.

Bad reading of the author’s intent and you ignore the immediately preceding sentence which provides context for your cherry picked quote

It is the subtitle in its entirety, as the author of the article intended. That sentence didn’t grow legs and and walk all the way up to the top of the article by itself.
