The setting is by far the weakest point, imo. 300 years in the future and instant communication seems exclusive for ship-to-ship. People on the floor don't have phones, radios, nothing. The two major faction cities are 300m² blocks in the middle of fucking nowhere. "A big war happened some time ago" - over one of the most stupid reasons about where to settle and that did fuck all, with random settlements around random worlds pledging allegiance to no one anyway.

There's also the general disregard of npcs to anything going on around them. If you shoot up in the air while the city, people will just stare blankly at you. Same if you use space magic. "Don't go around showing it off" - pfft.

Not to mention that they managed to make the most boring multiverse in fiction, which is much closer to a groundhog day time-repetition if you look into it.

Ironically, if you directly control the others, you have a small window of downtime after casting magic, which makes controlling Randi better for magic combos

I rarely used charged attacks. The only weapons that really made sense for that were the ranged ones. I was also very annoyed that attacking at 95% would deal the same damage as at 5%, so you always had to wait for the click.

Besides, once you get the first magic with Undine, it's ridiculously easy to stunlock enemies, even bosses, just time the magic right and boom, just don't overdo because a "single attack" damage tops at 999

It does, the international version comes with google play and the store and everything, it's a typical android phone like what you get from motorola or samsung, with a custom UI and lots of bloatware

As a Brazilian, I can say with full confidence that the Portuguese don't speak Portuguese, but some sort of weird language without vowels

When you compare it with its competition back in 2004, it was the most casual game. Everquest, Asheron's Call, Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, those were full time jobs, while WoW was "only" a part time job next to them.

Blizzard was at its peak, coming off the huge successes of Starcraft (1998), Diablo 2 (2000) and Warcraft 3 (2002), the latter of which also brought DotA thanks to the community. Hype and hopes were high.

How else can they know life is easy if they're not directly harming the serfs and peasants? Won't somebody please think of the rich????

TrackerControl for blocking apps from connecting to the internet

Simple apps for Gallery and File Browser

Markor for mardown note taking

JustPlayer for watching videos

I've yet to find a good music player, since f-droid's search sucks - it only searches in the name and short description. I've tried Apollo and Odyssey, but neither has a fucking folder whitelist/blacklist setting and end up filled with audio from telegram and whatsapp. Also, most players completely ignore .opus format

Also, has anybody thought to ask why Google has 32 million mosquitoes on hand?

Probably the spawn of Sundar Pichai

Has more bloatware than samsung and more spyware than facebook. Not the person you talked with first, but I also have a xiaomi and it's borderline unusable if you don't use adb to uninstall some of the ad shit. They throw ads on gallery, video player, music player, wallpaper, calculator, file browse.

Title. I'm looking for resins with the lowest Shore hardness, the lowest one I've found (that I can buy on aliexpress) is Resione F39, with Shore 60-75A. Ideally, I'd want to get something closer to Shore 30-40A.

So, failing that, anyone with a higher understanding of chemistry can explain what additives are usually added, resulting in a cured resin with greater elasticity?

As I prepare to give art classes to younglings (10-11yo), I usually try to teach basic shapes with direct practice via chibi characters. I also take the opportunity to explain what usually makes a character or drawing "cute".

In any case, I present you Sanrio-Man, the salary-san. He is old, disgruntled, balding, overworked, but full of hopes, dreams and kawaii energy

By analogic age, I mean before computers became widespread.

I want to have something more visual than just the description of the processes involved, especially how a finished B&W art was made into something that could be printed several times

It's a notoriously shitty game, but I was surprised when I saw that, despite being a side-scrolling "action" game, it uses WASD for movement on the Amiga and Apple IIgs.

Elements of Ultima VII were inspired by game developer Origin Systems' conflicts with competitor (and later owner) Electronic Arts. Origin Systems' corporate slogan was "We Create Worlds", while the main antagonist of the story – the Guardian – is presented as a "Destroyer of Worlds". The three evil "Generators" created by the Guardian in the game take the physical shapes of the contemporary Electronic Arts logo: a cube, a sphere, and a tetrahedron. Elizabeth and Abraham, two apparently benevolent characters who later turn out to be murderers, have the initials "E" and "A".[10] Electronic Arts would acquire Origin later that same year, on September 25, 1992.

EA, destroyer of worlds since 1992
