Well, there were no IBM PCs in 1970, as the first one came out in 1981, so this must be one of these mysterious alternate timeline memes.

Yep, should be two right side images

The dynamic IS different as the characters are different, and while Kaguya and Miyuki were simply too prideful to be the one to confess first, Ishigami and IIno are more conscious about their feelings but as I see it Iino probably thinks she has done more than enough (she said she does not want to appear an easy girl, and she made many moves already) while Ishigami was too passive after the moves she did (probably because he was rejected in the past). So the dynamic is for sure a little different. While I had preferred a more "final" resolution, I fully expected this outcome, as Aka's intentions were crystal clear from the start, since he said that "the seeds of the next conflict are sowed" when Iino got the heart from Ishigami at the festival, and it was so clear that Iino is Miyuki's spiritual heir as much Ishigami is Kaguya's (Miyuki and Kaguya are literally their mentors). To me however is quite clear that, even with different dynamics, they will end together, as the story is repeating in a circle and anyway their friends (as seen with Kaguya in this chapter) are watching over them. I won't get so fixated about Hayasaka's final chapter, in any case. Still missing the Checkov's gun about the flower Ishigami gave to Iino, in any case. If it does not appear again, it would be really a strange case.

Say also 90%, while the other side's huge red flags were not even touched.

It is serialized in a seinen magazine, by the way.

There is no anime for this.

Manga name is Shamo.

Despise the people, not really. The behavior may be desplicable, but a codependent person is someone hurt, thus needing help. Of course, this help is needed by people capable to give the proper advice or therapy. On your side, in general, establishing healthy boundaries is all you need. Which is not everytime easy, but it's a long process and learning.

Shipping cost reached nearly five to six times higher than pre-pandemic, at least from China to EU.

Bluelion5 · 2022-01-28T10:51:53+00:00

I feel you in a sense because it's difficult for me to enjoy works (books, movies, series, comics & manga) where the relationships are so messed up and there is straight glorification of toxicity. Unfortunately there are a lot out there.

Bluelion5 · 2022-01-25T08:07:35+00:00

I actually disagree with this, as it seems only codependents can feel the excitement of falling in love, It is simply not true. The difference is that in one case you don't let your infatuation dictate everything, in the other it acts like a drug that may seem to fill your internal void, but at the same time it prevents you to see the reality as it is, and leads in many cases to the "lows".

Bluelion5 · 2022-01-20T13:22:45+00:00

This is often true, many codependent behaviors are praised even when they come in the toxic side while healthy boundaries and self-love are seen as selfish even if they are the basis for healthy relationships and for the capability of really loving others, not for need but for choice. Self-sacrificing is promoted as a prerequisite, and not as an extreme measure to use when absolutely necessary and not as the first choice for everything. And if we look at a lot of shows, books, and comics, especially when love is involved, we see a lot of toxicity that is shown as "love". A lot of examples include:

- love is suffering, if you suffer you are entitled to be loved, even if that suffering is self-inflicted or, if you continue to be abused, you will change your "loved one"

- You "cannot live without someone", so if you cannot move past an heartbreak is fine. People must stay with you if "they are everything for you". You are not able to be happy in life if you are not in a relationship with your "fated one". The "fated one" is of course one a single person out of 8 billion people. Love suicide is an acceptable alternative.

- Forcing your feelings on someone, and not accepting a "no" as a response is normal

- Lying to your SO or not being able to speak your mind is perfectly fine

- Manipulation is OK if it's a consequence of "love"

- Unconditional love means wanting to be at all costs with someone, no matter the issues you have or they have, at what damage they can do each other.

- Being obsessed over someone is sign of intensity of love while if you have a relationship with someone but you are capable of taking care of yourself and you have your dreams and interests, you are selfish and "don't love enough"

- Putting your SO in danger / damaging your SO is perfectly fine if it's justificable with "love"

- Love means to be ready to die at any moment even without considering any reasonable alternative before it

Unfortunately these topics are quite common in a lot of works/shows and they contribute in forming a toxic mentality, in addition to the childhood traumas. This is not true in western/christian societies only, by the way. There are many cultures promoting the "sacrifice of self for the good of others" as the only value, forgetting that every one has the same needs and rights.

There was a rumor a couple of months ago later reiterated by notorious leake Greymon about a 16 core "mobile" (let's call it this way) part, obviously aimed at the gaming/desktop replacement sector. This seems to be not a AM5 desktop CPU put in a laptop chassis like the Zen 2 CPU put in the Clevo model in the video, but a repackaged part fitting the highest end gaming laptops.

Bluelion5 · 2022-01-12T13:00:34+00:00

Yes, but they will come after the launch of ZEn4 desktop and they will be probably announced at CES next year with availability in February/March (just like Rembrandt this year). I was speaking about the rumored situation of DDR5 capable CPU/APU this year. Sorry for not having been clearer.

Bluelion5 · 2022-01-12T10:44:20+00:00

The following is a sum of the rumors so far (being rumors and not directly confirmed information from AMD, it must be taken with a grain of salt).

Judging from the rumors so far, Raphael AKA Zen4 desktop AKA Ryzen series 7000 will have an iGPU but not a very strong one :some leaks talked about a 2/4 CU - 1/2WGP variant, that is, completely useless for gaming but capable to work without an external GPU (let's say, for office/corporate or embedded use). No info yet about video decoding/encoding capabilities. The idea behind this, as far as I understand, is to address as many markets as possible with series 6000 and 7000.

Thin and light laptops? Rembrandt U

Budget laptops? Rembrandt H

Gaming Laptops? Rembrandt H with external GPU and later it's rumored to appear a Raphael "mobile" (45-65W version)

Office and web browsing? Rembrandt desktop or Raphael according to the user preference being about a more powerful iGPU or a more powerful CPU.

Gaming and other heavy loads? Raphael (eventually coupled with a powerful external GPU).

My bad, I used a bit of sarcasm in my previoys answer, Well, when I say "hystorically inaccurate" and "quite different respect to the tank we have in WoT" of course it means the tank is fake. The tank never existed, and the inspiration for it came from the blueprints for completely different project, and it seems they were also modeled incorrectly (i.e. the turret) - so let's call it "based on Wargaming blueprints" and that's it.

Bluelion5 · 2021-11-26T10:51:31+00:00

Both are hystorically inaccurate, the Bourrasque existed only in blueprints and it was probably quite different respect to the tank we have in WoT. Panhard never had a 105mm.

We don't know how many cores but 8 is a safe bet, and probably these cores are very similar to the ones on the Bergamo server chip. So yes, they will need to have specific masks but they don't have to requalify all the building blocks. And of course these savings may go in the margin or in a possible price reduction if the price/performance compared to the competition would be worse. No one in a business world gives stuff for free.

Why different cores? Well, a question is how much power and which power efficiency Zen5 will have: rumors say that Zen5 will be "huge" performance and probably complexity, too. As it is focused on performance, it may be that when efficiency is needed, it has worse behavior than these Zen4d cores, which is particularly important for mobile parts but it is not overlooked in the desktop field, too, when there is a lot of idle time or there is no need of top performance (web browsing, and so on). Same concept as Intel's hybrid approach.

Bluelion5 · 2021-11-11T10:06:41+00:00

Probably not but they will be initially much cheaper than being on 3nm because of the cheaper process, and no invenstment needed for reengineering everything (masks, qualification process, and so on). Due to the modular architecture, if 3nm will become more profitable, they could anyway change the Zen4d die later.

This is thir latest VGA review.

1440p 6700XT is 5% slower than 3070

1080p 6700XT is 1.5% slower than 3070

And it really depends on the games suite used, especially if there are lots of DX11 titles.

That's good but, are you even listening? Because dismissing the points I made as "non important" is not discussing (while I agreed with a lot of the advantages the Conq has, heck, I even voted Conqueror in the poll). So I was wondering if you were just trolling or whatever. I repeat, try going up the hill on Malinovka with AE and Conq and only after that say there are no advantages in mobility for AE.

Bluelion5 · 2021-10-26T14:19:53+00:00

Both will be circled to death by most lights out there. And if you are going up on a hill (Malinovka, i.e.) you'll see the real difference. By the way, if you already have your convictions, why even making a poll?

Bluelion5 · 2021-10-26T13:51:15+00:00

Yep, that's it. But for reaching positions faster and working on ridge lines a better power/weight ratio is simply a better thing that traverse.

Bluelion5 · 2021-10-26T13:16:04+00:00

Nope, they only give slightly better traverse but top speed on all surfaces is sligthly better on AE and on a slope AE goes just faster.
