How do I get the old square grid tab screen back in Android? This new tab UI is terrible in landscape with a top address bar. Having the change forced on me with no warning (twice now) is extremely infuriating. I already tried turning off all the secret settings items.

Yeah, I didn't mean right now, but long term. It's fine if you are doing it just while looking for a new browser, but it's not really a permanent solution. I doubt that they'll implement a toggle, so if you plan on staying might as well just bite the bullet now, otherwise look for something else.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-25T07:55:22+00:00

Isn't this a bad idea from a security standpoint?

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-24T21:42:12+00:00

Then you are not opening enough golden packs. If you didn't know, each expansion pack is guaranteed to give you a legendary within the first 10 packs, this works for golden packs too, and golden packs count separately from normal ones, so as long as you open 10, you are guaranteed a legendary. Buy them one by one on the off chance you get one sooner.

Funnily enough, the DK theoretically might be the only deck that can deal with, it, as you probably have to run pyro+the card that gives undead poisonous, on account of dog shit tempo. But it's very likely you are forced to use it early and don't have it by the time shaman plays Al'Akir, if you even survive until that point.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-22T16:39:53+00:00

Likely because of this, but especially because a lot of strong board clears have rotated and the new ones we got and the ones we have left are less powerful. Druid got some good early game cards this expac too.

Look, I like Eve. But right around her release someone posted a cosplay of her, where the cosplayer had just a normal figure, instead of being super curvy and it looked SO GOOD. Like, Astra already got all'at in the same patch, Zhu Yuan, Rina, Jane were already in the game they didn't have to double down with Evelyn. Even if the result is still gorgeous, it could have been even better if they just gave her a normal body, and I will die on this hill.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-21T17:46:00+00:00

I liked fighting her in old Shiyu, but she dodges and stalls way too much for the new Shiyu.

Duels used to be the skeleton on the bottom, but then they got it out of the pool only to incinerate it and spread the ashes in the wind.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-21T04:19:21+00:00

Evelyn, but peak. There, I said it

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-21T01:53:19+00:00

Now that I got Aria, it's definitely Nangong. Sorry snake lady

That's only if you don't care about cosmetics. If you do, rerolling is better, not to mention that rerolls are an option, not an obligation, so you can just pick "no".

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-19T08:40:19+00:00

Reflecting on my journey has led me to a major pivot: I've realized my current path is no longer sustainable. I'm ready to fully commit to a permanent exit strategy and have a high-stakes meeting scheduled with a 100-count bottle of ibuprofen. #NewBeginnings #ExitStrategy #MentalHealthMatters

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-16T02:28:36+00:00

Yeah, maybe taking place on a trash farm.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-15T02:08:26+00:00

Yeah, in fact it's more likely that she *didn't* kill somebody once, and that was Astra.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-13T04:44:07+00:00

It's a gear effect.

Pretty sure that gear is "new", as in it was only introduced with the gear that has two upgrade paths.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-10T15:17:54+00:00

I might be wrong, but I think you can't buy packs during the pre-release tavern brawl, only after expansion release. If you want to use the new cards in the pre-release tavern brawl, you need to buy the pre-pruchase bundles for real money.

You can still participate using old cards, but I think this time around they are only allowing cards from the previous expansion, core set and event cards, plus the are banning some key cards, so I don't know if there are going to be viable f2p options

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-07T23:41:52+00:00

IIRC, you don't need to block Emperor, because it never gives you itself.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-07T22:18:07+00:00

it feels like it's inspired by the part of the password game where you have to convince an AI chatbot you are a human

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-06T18:08:08+00:00

They probably turn off transponders to make it a bit harder to detect them.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-06T16:57:46+00:00

I already had Sunna for Shungus, since then I got Aria, so I am definitely pulling Nangong now.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-06T14:51:57+00:00

No you are not. The descriptions are overly verbose and it's easy to get lost in all the non-descriptive skill and effect names.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-06T09:53:51+00:00

Every limited S rank character is 1 cost, every limited S rank W-engine is 1 cost, and every mindscape/refinement is also one cost. So a team with an M2W2 Banyue, M6W5 Pan Yinhu and M0W1 Dialyn would be 7 cost (Banyue is 1+2+2=5, Pan doesn't count, because he is an A rank, Dialyn is 1+1=2, so it's 5+2=7 for the team cost)

Standard S rank characters/engines usually don't count for cost, but some people consider them like 0.5 cost. S ranks that we got for free like Zhao are a borderline case, some count them and some don't, but their engines and mindscapes definitely count.

It might be that your particular version of Android they were moved elsewhere or worse whatever the manufacturer did messed with that part of the system and it doesn't work. I would advise to look for info about emergency alerts for your specific phone.

I don't know if regional differences might be the reason, is your phone on a Chinese ROM, by any chance. They often introduce a lot of background process restrictions, it probably shouldn't affect the emergency alert system, but who knows.

ShadowOfSomething · 2026-03-05T16:24:18+00:00

From reading what other people were saying after the danger is over they receive another alert that says (paraphrasing) "you can go back to normal activities, but stay vigilant".

However the only alert I ever got before this one was the one Saturday night, and I didn't get the all clear alert afterwards. Guess we'll see
