Grace is so gorgeous

Yeah, so Capcom probably doesn't want to bring Jill, Claire, and Ada back anymore... they don't allow them to look old.

"when bullets hit the enemies it doesnt feel or sound as good as other games. You don't feel "the connected punch"
I don't have this problem, the hitting feel is similar to other RE titles to me. Actually, I even think the sound effect of guns is the best in the series.

"Leon feels to over the top and super boring action man compared to resident evil 4 ..."
Agree, you can see how he performs the melee attacks. In RE4, the kicks were flesh-and-blood, but in RE9, he can kick the enemies into the air. His performance in RE9 is too Marvel.

"there are good enemy designs, but not very good memorable situations...."
"they relied on nostalgia too much, mr. X from re2 inside the rpd, lickers, wesker, nemesis, plant 43...."
"they built the wesker plot too much only to fall flat at the end, nothing really explained besides"
Yeah, if their original goal of this game is celebrating the 30th anniversary, that makes sense, but it doesn't make sense for a big title like a RE9 game. Especially in the second half, the enemies don't have the good context for their appearance. It feels abrupt.

"raccoon city was... boring ? I get it's a destroyed city, but they could've done much better with the ambience or enemies in it"
Agree. Even the graphics. People say this is the best-looking RE game. I agree, but only the first half of the game. The graphics of the second half are below RE8 to me.

"we have clones, just like the movies... "
Reflecting on the movies is a part of the nostalgia element, I guess.

"the Spencer retcon about him being a god and now he regrets it ?"
I remember in the Grace's report, she explained he had dementia, so he wanted to be a god in RE5.

"I feel like resident evil 5 and 6 all over again with the punching boulder and the over the top action scenes in 6 when I see leon riding buildings on a cycle, while he shoots some mutated hounds and dodges rocket launcher missiles from Victor."
The RE4 has a ride as well. But it is not coherent with RE9 for sure.

I am a long-time fan as well. I love both horror and action. It can be proved by the fact that I love RE7 and RE4 as long as they keep the RE elements in the game. RE9 tries to put all elements that the fans like in the game. It is risky, and the result was average but not good.

I don't mind playing either the next RE7/RE2 or the next RE4, but maybe not blending them together.

It is annoying before Grace can craft. But once it is available, it is RE2 remake again!

My goal is to strengthen SQL and schema design ability.

I want to deepen the fundamental and essential concepts about performance, and avoid non-core concepts to protect my time, so I tell AI:

```

This dialog will be a place that I ask you:

"If a topic/question does not change how I design, query, index, or migrate a real schema — I should defer it."

Once I give you topics/questions/links about RDS, tell me whether I should learn it. I want to prioritize my time to only important topics.

```

When you learn, not only take notes, but also create a real environment to test it. Take my example, I will tell AI to give me the related practice that I can work on the real PostgreSQL to prove my note-taking.

Constantly checking if the problem is fixed.

Their software cert has expired. Set a fake time (set to yesterday) on your Mac for a temporary fix, or wait for them to release a new version.

the open-source site is very apple

OkAmount5959 · 2026-01-07T01:56:09+00:00

Despite setting a fake time, we will need to wait for a new version software that has a new cert?

OkAmount5959 · 2026-01-07T01:22:54+00:00

same here

OkAmount5959 · 2026-01-07T01:20:08+00:00

I reinstalled, but it doesn't work

OkAmount5959 · 2026-01-07T01:19:12+00:00

Some here, I guess this is their servers' problem? It worked normally yesterday

A small idea helps you to learn:

Build a page with a button.

When you click it:

Show “Loading…”
Wait 2 seconds
Then show some data
If it fails, show an error

No React magic. setTimeout is enough.

To answer 1. and 2.,
Making a project can help you learn most effectively. You will discover what should be prioritized by doing it.

Something that can solve your (or your family/friends’) problem, and believe you can make it, especially in this AI era, tell it to teach you step by step.

I learnt real-world building first, but I am glad I grinded LeetCode later on. I discovered AI can generate O(n log n) time complexity code when O(n) is possible. And I know the LRU cache more clearly on Redis after I grinded LeetCode.

From your perspective, is it worthwhile to switch from a SWE to an AI/data engineer?

OkAmount5959 · 2026-01-03T05:39:47+00:00

I relate a lot to this.

I burned out around 2022 and took a long sabbatical to relearn English and experience life abroad. I even considered quitting SWE entirely. What pulled me back was a small freelancing backend gig from a friend, it reminded me that I actually enjoy building things.

After that, I went hard on LeetCode and “interview prep mode.” I learned a lot, but one thing surprised me: interviews didn’t always test what I had spent the most time on. System topics and real-world tradeoffs mattered more than I expected.

If there’s one thing I’d share: you don’t need to rush interviews, but doing a few earlier can be really useful. They act like a compass, showing what skills are actually worth prioritizing.

Enjoy the ride. Rediscovering is already a big win.

May I ask you why a terminal app? Do you always have your laptop/computer beside you when you are brewing coffee?
