Discussion Comfy Café #14

I watched an Alt shift X video about the later books and honestly its the most horrifying thing I've ever seen.

 

Can't comment on the later books myself. But were they that bad? Or was the video talking about them that bad?

 

I meant they were fucked up. Paul's people go full on hitler mode in Dune 3 and later Paul himself starts opposing them Later Paul's children take over and become some sort of Human-worm chimera and rule for thousands of years while humanity still wages war. They then devise a plot to overthrow themselves and the cycle goes on.
You know what, watch it yourself

Now that Vivaldi on Android supports extensions fully once again (they took it away a couple of years ago but brought it back after community feedback and working out kinks) it is now an actually viable alternative to Brave and Waterfox on mobile. Just install it, disable the in-built ad/tracker blocker, install ublock origin & privacy badger, enable background playback, and you are good to go.

Main reasons to install it would be:
* Consumes less RAM than both of those.
* Also consumes less of the battery than both. This makes it excellent for on-the-go usage.
* Faster internet speeds than both, especially on weaker mobile connections; and quite usable even on H+ 3G connections. And, yes, I can confirm that after testing it out on a BSNL sim and their 3G network.

 

Will check it out later at home.

 

First few vol of Boruto had blasphemous art.
The artist did get somewhat vetter but in first few volumes chars looked like frog

 

Might actually try it.

 

Yeah, Vivaldi might be a good option if on older hardware (or weaker modern hardware) and/or less RAM and also if speed is your priority. Otherwise, Waterfox is enough as an alternative to mainstream browsers; especially so if you want to get away from Chromium, which is what Vivaldi is built around.

 

Pragmata does have some technical issues that need sorting, especially when it comes to stuttering and wild frame rate issues related to low-medium presets (regardless of hardware used). The Jedi series had a similar problem.

Props where due, however:
I have to hand it to Capcom for optimizing the game to the point that it runs with playable frame rates at 1920x1080 even on 4 GB VRAM GPUs and keeping total installation size at reasonable limits. That is all a breath of fresh air in an era of artificially inflated VRAM and storage requirements. Seriously, the game is very good looking but retains reasonable system requirements for this day & age.

Now if only they would bring back the option to show tabs as a list, it'd be even better. I don't know why they removed it. I know there were initially issues with list view and tab grouping, but those were quickly fixed. So... Why?

Over-designed crap is sometimes not bad. Depends on the context and art style of the series. For something like RWBY? Okay. They be doing Bleach or Sailor Moon levels of "drip" for their characters. For the Naruto series? Oof... Nope. Just capital N Nope. Doesn't fit that world.

 

Them DB fans celebrating the death battle win against Saitama as if Goku could ever win against a gag character who's by default stronger than anything what's thrown at him

Saitama destroys Goku anyday LOL

 

Powerscalers are the most braindead people on the planet

 

The be fair: Saitama isn't a complete gag character like Popeye or Arale or Bugs Bunny. His gag stuff relates to something else entirely, not his peak in power. And... He has so far shown nothing that would put him above Majin Buu level characters, never mind the current DBS heavy hitters.

They are surprisingly intelligent people. They are just douchebags and also just chose the wrong outlet for their intelligence.
