I too am a horse denier.
I always deny a horse.
I upvoted your comment just because it had links to the reference you made.
Also, the sketches were funny; thanks for sharing them.
NSFW food.
Unless priced extremely cheap, or Apple plays the walled garden game with peripherals and/or restricts current device capabilities, it is unclear what this device offers more than what iPad or iPhone already does for managing home devices.
I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.
I might have agreed a decade or two ago, when I knew no better. But today, I find the tribalism surrounding programming languages comical.
I don’t particularly like Java, but I use it because it pays the bills. Similarly, I use C++ (which I prefer) when my work requires it.
Love it when software behaves in a non-deterministic manner.
I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.
Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.
Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.
At the point, I would consider the author’s scepticism being true a best case scenario, with every new piece of information I learn about Shadows.
It is baffling that it required so many years and attempts for Ubisoft to realise that their modern day storyline sucks. I would argue that it was a glorified side quest even during Desmond’s arc though it went downhill soon after that arc “closed”.
There is absolutely nothing that Ubisoft can say or do to win back my trust. This game is going to be as shallow as any of their recent entries, if not more.
I completed a marathon of all AC games last year, from the very first title, all the way up to Valhalla.
The games serves as a good reflection of Ubisoft over the years. The issues in the series and Ubisoft’s approach are amplified when one plays the games back to back.
The first title from 2007, albeit with clunky movements, had a promising story which was only elevated by its sequels.
The titles post-Revelations experimented a lot but the series settled at Origins, which was the last playable game, all aspects considered.
Valhalla is the worst of the series. It offers nothing new in terms of gameplay or story. It is just more of the same. Mundane and boring. It kept painfully reminding me that I am playing a video game.
Yet, I firmly believe that Shadows will be a lot worse with its live service mechanics.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that nostalgia might be compensating for some of the game’s flaws. I still remember reading the full/multi page spreads about the game in the local computer magazines.
The colour codes could be more accessible.
Thank you for introducing me to KOReader and Kindle jailbreaking.
Fortunately, the Kindle Paperwhite I use is no longer supported, and is compatible with few of the jailbreaks out there.
A good rabbit hole to dive into over the weekend.
Given it is a CPU is limiting the parsing of the file, I wonder how a GPU-based editor like Zed would handle it.
Been wanting to test out the editor ever since it was partially open sourced but I am too lazy to get around doing it
The table along with the tableware resembles a face with a hint of dread.
