  • I finished NG of Armored Core 6, it's a good game, and I like it a bit more than other Souls games, largely thanks to how speedy the mech movement is.

    I'm going to do bit more NG+, restart Wattam, since I was distracted by some other games previously, and replaying AI The Somnium Files, since I can't remember the story and bought the sequel on sale a few months ago.

  • I believe from what I read is that some of these driverless car companies in the US are releasing their fleet, flooding the street 24/7. Some of them will take up parking places, cause traffic jam, or just stall in the middle of the road.

    Maybe it's different in the Europe, where there's stricter regulation, since from the comments here, many who are okay with driverless car are mostly from European countries. Unless if you own stock in those companies, then there's incentive caused bias.

    Just like how drugs need to go on multiple clinical trials before going on the mass market, I believe that if you want driverless vehicles, a lot of testing is needed.

    But this is not testing / gathering data phase, Cruise has 300 cars at night, 100 during the day in SF, while Waymo has around 250 cars. Again, this is not testing phase, there's no driver to safeguard in case things go wrong, these are actual driverless taxi that charges people.

    The main rationale of these companies is not to bring a safer environment with driverless cars, the main rationale is how to get rid of gig workers that causes problems to Uber or Lyft, problems such as demanding living wage, proper employment status, unions, etc.

    If you want to look at a better approach, maybe look at how Singapore is doing it

    • it's operated by SMRT and SBS bus, which are regulated and owned by government
    • it's self driving bus
    • "drivers will remain essential to the operation of autonomous vehicles even when these do take off, although their job scope will change"

    So if you wanna support, maybe don't support what Cruise is doing, but more of what Singapore is doing

    • it's still highly regulated
    • it's a bus, it's a public transportation, so it still helps in tackling climate issues.
    • it's not being used to fire workers,
    • there's still failsafe, the drivers are standby, in case the bus goes haywire
  • I've been listening to Dir en Grey for almost 15 years.

    They evolve their sound and experiment with them after every few albums, but often they sound darker and more experimental. They do throw some curveballs with songs that sounds pop-ish from time to time, but they still sound good.

    I'm actually very excited when they release new album, because I wanna know what new sound are they experimenting with.

    On the other hand, there are some guitarists that hinge on one single technique, while it sounds good for a couple of songs, it becomes tiring when every single song they do sound similar.

  • There's a site called mangadex that has scanlations translated in many different languages, you can use the filter on advanced search to narrow it down to manga translated to Spanish (ES) or Spanish (Latam)

    It's also quite a good way to learn foreign languages (open up chapters translated to English and other foreign languages and read them like a polyglot book)

  • Tenchu has kind of a weird / tangled development history.

    • It was originally developed by Acquire and published by Sony Music Entertainment.
    • Then Activision bought the rights from SME, and sold it to FromSoft afterwards.
    • FromSoft holds the IP today
      • but out of the 9 games released, they only developed 3 Tenchu games, and 2 of them were PSP ports.
      • so effectively FromSoft have only developed 1 Tenchu game.
    • Tenchu games were mostly developed by Acquire at first, and then K2 LLC
      • Acquire hasn't done anything with Tenchu IP since 2009, and has been collaborating with other devs, making games like Octopath Traveler and Akiba Beat
      • meanwhile K2 LLC has been acquired by CAPCOM

    I think it's unlikely that we will get a another Tenchu entry with gameplay similar to older ones anymore.

    If you want games with similar gameplay to Tenchu, then maybe you should watch Acquire's outputs. They developed games like Kamiwaza and Shinobido that have stealth mechanics.

    Edit: updated for readability

  • The image is a screenshot of my AC from Armored Core 6. It's a reverse jointed AC, with the frame painted in purple and green similar to Evangelion's Unit 01, while the weapons are painted in red, black, and gold

    Here's my current build:

    • Unit
      • Right arm: DF-GA-08 HU-BEN Gatling Gun
      • Left arm: Vvc-770LB Laser Blade
      • Right shoulder: Vvc-70VPM (vertical) Plasma Missile Launcher
      • Left shoulder: BML-G1/PO3VTC-08 Vertical Missile Launcher
    • Frame
      • Head: VP-44S
      • Core: EL-TC-10 FIRMEZA
      • Arms: AC-2000 TOOL ARM
      • Legs: RC-2000 SPRING CHICKEN Reverse Joint
    • Inner
      • Booster: FLUEGEL/21Z
      • FCS: FCS-G2/P05
      • Generator: AG-E-013 YABA
    • Expansion
      • Pulse Armor

    • I stopped playing Time Warpers, it's an idle FPS game. The game is fun, but sadly there's not enough interesting progressions to get me thru 500 levels. Most important for me, is that I've managed to play the game comfortably with a left-handed trackball (Kensington Expert placed on left hand side), since I've shifted from right handed mouse couple of months ago. I rarely play FPS, but the game was easy and comfortable enough that I can enjoy the experience with a trackball.

    • Armored Core 6. The first AC game for me. While I do enjoy the battles, the mech movement can be a bit slippery, I've just switched to reverse joint legs, maybe it will feel better. The story is interesting, but I kinda wish the character banters are more like in Ace Combat 7, bit livelier, with character portraits. I'm enjoying the game very much
  • Thank you! I'm really enjoying using this extension, especially the function to automatically pops up translation box by selection.

    Is it possible to have an option to choose which languages available on the dropdown list? Sometimes it's bit difficult to scroll thru a large number of them.

    Thank you again for the extension!
