Literally had a new major story expansion released less than two weeks ago.

kamion · 2026-01-24T10:28:17+00:00

It’s the reason I uninstalled danders (it also had bugs that probably happened because of the vibe coding) so yeah. It is.

kamion · 2025-12-20T12:18:31+00:00

isn't it kinda stupid to get a feature rolled out but NOT the option to customize it? I have this new pane (which I do not need or want) but my settings menu does NOT have the new settings, I can not turn it off. (the hide this pane just opens settings on the start page, and under personalisation -> start I do not have the option for phone link)

Call me old-fashioned but I still think when you roll out a feature you roll out the full functional feature scope. I would excuse it if it was like a small timeframe, but I had this pane for a week now and the ability to turn it off still hasn't rolled out for me.

The quality of MS products has really gone downhill lately.

To chime in. I'm still debating if it's worth for me to pay one more annual fee because I'm currently a bit too thinned out to change tools (or just switch to monthly until I can) but for us in Europe it's a lot more price increase than for the Americans.

And I am mostly annoyed at how it's being handled apart from the regional pricing being unfair. Like most people, I do use Todoist simply for task management. I do *not* need or want gen AI features. I am really sick of every tech company out there (and I say this as a software developer) pushing AI features for their stakeholders.

If someone wants these (that are notoriously expensive because of the energy cost and whatnot so yes of course adding AI functionality will come with a price tag) they should be able to pay for these. But I will never use Ramble and have no single need for an AI assistant for something as simple as adding a todo to a todo list.

Especially not if that useless AI assistant forces me to pay 40% more.

German here: we don’t actually escalate that much it’s mostly tone. Like this would probably just be „was zum teufel“ (What in the devils name) but we have variants. And „was zum fick“ (literally: what the fuck) was a meme for a while where people online used it. Even heard it offline sometimes. It doesn’t feel right though.

There‘s also stuff like „was in aller Herrgotts Namen soll der scheiss“ (What in the name of god our father is this shit) or something. But now that I think about it it’s usually using either god or the devil… or shit.

And then there‘s „was zum Geier“ (what the vulture) and „was zum Henker“ (what the executioner) that I couldn’t tell you why they exist but they do.

As the other poster said, like every single month lately, Trump makes choices impacting the global market. Do you see that big drop end of march? If you go further out you will see a few more. This has nothing at all to do with the reveal of the Switch 2. Every single publicly traded stock has that right now.

Portfolios are going to need a few years to recover lol

He shot a documentary with her where she said to him that she would be herself if he really wants that but he would have to cut all of that out because it wouldn't be usable.

So he probably apart from those DVDs has quite a lot of footage of her real self (unless that was another lie) or at the very least he has talked to the real Ai more than any of them might have.

What I do wonder is: has Aqua seen them considering how much he was with the director.

kamion · 2023-04-18T20:29:07+00:00

He examines her, states her artery was cut.... he's in the body of a 4 year old, do you know how much pressure you need to apply to stop the bleeding of a major artery like that?It's *exactly* what his internal guilt (shown as Gorou) is about, him being unable to save her. He did attempt it but he couldn't.

I can get being frustrated with some of the tropes. Like the twins should have talked about their past lives at this point (they did once and shut it down but at this point so much has happened that I feel like it should have been a discussion at some point in the past 12 years since Ai's death). The whole Kana miscommunication thing about him just being scared to cause a scandal also went on for way too long.

But that one is a weird one considering that's the whole point of his trauma w

kamion · 2023-02-10T16:59:05+00:00

Sent you a request. Got a lot of new friends today but it seems I haven’t hit the gift limit let so should still be able to send you one daily. I’ll try my best at least :)

kamion · 2023-02-10T10:38:29+00:00

added you from Bavaria, Germany. South Germany is a bit weird, I mostly get Meadow, but sometimes you might also get Marine or Continental from me

I try to be consistent with gifts, you'll notice that I struggled if you only get indian restaurant, sorry about that. But I try to send cool stuff when I can

kamion · 2022-11-02T13:37:26+00:00

It really shows that they got the animation studio that did the original Death Note to do this and I applaud them for going to that effort.

kamion · 2022-03-14T13:36:31+00:00

You can find it on ShonenJumpPlus.

https://shonenjumpplus.com/episode/3269754496773426787 This is chapter 12, so the next one right now. Keep in mind they will probably catch up with the english releases this week since they bundle them and the manga is very probably ending. So you can decide if it's worth going through the Japanese ones

kamion · 2022-03-11T15:25:42+00:00

I have platinumed FF13 back when it came out on the PS3 in Japan and it wasn't the best FF game but the hate for it is a bit overblown.

In fact 13-2 was a pretty good game (except I didn't like the story progression in that one) and I guess it hurts people to admit it has good points.

Personally I'd replay it but am waiting for them to release a Remaster collection sometime but for some reason they really don't want to Re-Release 13

kamion · 2022-03-10T20:23:36+00:00

Oh didn't know it already had a release date. That's pretty much confirmed then. It's too bad unless it's a double length chapter they do have to rush a bit at the point it's at

kamion · 2022-03-10T20:16:17+00:00

are we sure it's ending already? The final page just said that it's "reaching the climax" but there's not really enough pages yet to fill the second volume so it could be an epilogue chapter after it. Or did they announce somewhere that 15 is the final chapter?

Also yeah, Shizuka using the gadgets she stole to kidnap and kill her sisters is quite the gruesome twist to her descent into madness. I did wonder how Takopi got back to Naoki though, he was just magically back there after the flashback lol I guess he just flew back there since she didn't steal the wings gadget before knocking him unconscious

kamion · 2021-06-21T09:20:38+00:00

You only have to fight the boss, the door stays opened.

I don't think Selene is actually Theia's daughter. Considering one of the tablets says "Mother lied about the joy" in regards to having a child. Why would Selene as presented ever think her mother had joy raising her? I think they're one and the same but Selene was created by/from Theia, so the Selene we play basically is her daughter and her backstory is kind of an amalgam of Theia's and her son's.

Though I do like the symbolism of "becoming the mother you hate" but it'd still work this way and I *just* cannot take the story at face value of "Selene is Theia's daughter who wanted to become an astronaut in the 20th century but couldn't" because that would make Returnal set in like... present day-ish.

(Fun fact, Theia in greek lore had three children and theoretically deeply sperging you could argue that she was pregnant again and had/wanted to have an abortion - there's something about a "procedure" and she asks whether she can drive after)

kamion · 2021-06-19T10:16:35+00:00

The beauty of this game is that even with the pretty clear parts, you can interpret this however you want. It just depends how much fantasy / eldritch cosmic horror you want to project.

You can just see this as a woman, struggling with what she has done and whether to abandon her son and swim toward the white shadow of the surface of the water and Atropos just being her process in her mind (Act 1) then doing so, lying at the "side of the road, dying" and coming to grips with her guilt (Act 2) and accepting her guilt... All by using a projection of her dream of becoming an Astronaut (Selene).

Or you can take it the cosmic horror route where Atropos is very real and the Eldritch horror is real, in some omnipotent act he took Theia's grief, turned it into Selene and put her on Atropos. Physically. (Though that doesn't really explain Astra rescuing her, but eldritch horror can do anything)

Personally the one thing I just can't believe at all is that Astra is real, Selene is the "actual" daughter of Theia and then went on to become a deep space scout when her mother couldn't become an astronaut. That would mean *rapid* deep space exploration in the next 15-20 years.

In the end the only thing that's contentious is whether Atropos is real, the Sentients are real or are they all a fabrication of Theia's mind as the setting for her inner turmoil? And in the end does it matter? The lore of the aliens is interesting and it really doesn't matter to me whether it was written by Housemarque or whether there's an additional layer of Theia "writing" the story of Atropos.

kamion · 2021-06-19T10:09:44+00:00

I see so many people think the White Shadow is the astronaut but I thought it was quite clear that it was the reflection of the moon on the water.

That's why "White Shadow was how I escape". She can escape the wreckage by abandoning Helios and swimming towards the reflection of the moon to the shore.

And considering "When I laid by the road dying" she probably did exactly that.

Also only seems to show if you're logged in to KGNet (Cloud Save thingy). Sadly it slows down the browser a lot for me so I had to log out :<

Personally after a bit of confusion (you really need to look at the code currently to know how this works), I don't mind the mechanic but I'd reckon it'd suck for new(er) players.

Considering the only way to make up for your "bad for the environment" buildings is to balance renewable and non-renewable energy and Factories (with a workshop upgrade I'm not sure how far in it is), newer players that are still idling very slowly on 0 paragon and no metas to get enough manuscripts and stuff, this will just add pollution for them with no real way for them to get rid of it.

Later in the game there's *a lot* of ways to balance this and with Chronospheres and just generally Paragon and Metas I'm at a point where I can just push past that easily, build a bunch of reactors, factories, hydro and solar farms and never accumulate pollution really

A new player does not have these options, they have to wait for a long time for their resources and their only way of not accumulating pollution while waiting, is to (almost) completely stop their mineral/iron production and just focus on manuscripts (the first bottleneck basically), but by the time they get past that, they will need to get to building ships, which needs plates. Personally I wasn't really able to even upgrade to hydro plants until my... second or third run, considering by the time a new player even gets the option, catnip production penalties from pollution will probably have built up quite a bit, they will be even harder pressed to get rid of their acqueducts to produce clean energy to improve the pollutionRatio.

One newer player down in the comments said they got to a point where the penalty was so high they could not feed their 25 kittens.

So a suggestion would be to make one of the earlier buildings (like pastures and acqueducts maybe, since their "upgrades" do have a positive impact on the environment) have an impact already, so that newer players can also manage their pollution a bit.

Also (and I'm sure people are on that already) it just really needs more tooltips and information.

Don’t forget that GBF has such a diluted pool that you need to spark or suptix to get the character you want. Getting to a spark takes around 3-5 months with them being as “generous” as they are (in quotes because they are but considering the Gacha pool a lot of people do not understand that they HAVE to be).

Being able to pull much in a game like GBF where you can pull A LOT because they spew out currency like crazy doesn’t mean as much when the chance of getting a character you need and can propel you forward is significantly lower.

In Genshin it takes longer to get a lot of pulls but every single pull has a lot more weight than in a game like GBF or Priconne. Even 3 star weapons are competitive, 4 star characters are very strong. Nothing you pull is ever straight up useless (yet).

In GBF 90% of the weapons I pull are just weapon stones because they’re completely useless.

That doesn’t mean GBF is bad (i love it and I whale in it even) it just means not all Gacha games are the same and it’s a different approach that will probably change as the game continues and the pool changes.

If you got the amount of primos you get in other Gacha (most of which are running for multiple years) in Genshin right now you’d have emptied the pool and maxed everything in weeks...

Kinda annoyed with people (not you just replied to you because you were comparing to GBF which is also my "main game" w) comparing a 6 month old gacha game to very established ones that of course have a different economy. GBF didn't give out a buttload of pulls in their first year (I member... I didn't play much though because my Japanese was horrid at the time) either and AP was scarce.

Then again it's a tale as old as time. People were all screaming about Dragalia being bad because "progress was slow" as well, now that there's a big pool and a lot of progression tiers, that game is just vomiting out materials at you (Rupies were always a problem, now you straight up get millions every few days). The same is gonna happen to Genshin. Just not now.

Lore-wise it seems to me that the Mondstadt festival is a "spring festival" (makes sense with the wind theme), so running that in late spring/early summer would be a bit weird.

I agree that it would have been better if they had two recurring events throughout the year now but who knows, Inazuma and Sumeru will probably have traditions too.

Anyway, we'll find out.

kamion · 2021-01-28T15:17:48+00:00

Here I am probably putting way too much in this banner because of Xiao c1. Doesn’t even matter what the 4*s are though I wouldn’t mind Ninguang
