If you want a Kraken Club, it's time to play Granblue Fantasy



Also, looks like Lilisette got a VA for this crossover event. Twitter link has a voiced over video that features Prishe and a few XI aesthetics for the UI. Kinda wonder if Ulmia and Cait Sith will get VAs too for the event.

That actually looks kind of impressive. I wish it were the kind of game I liked because I'm legitimately impressed with the level of detail in the promotion.

I got a 1600 pages book about algorithms and data structure thats suppose to be the basic reference material.

But then i see the author using mathematic relationships to demonstrate his point/to prove something.

Reminds what i hated in my first uni in engineering, when teachers focused more on the mathematical foundation than the practical use of some formula.

I fully recognize the importance of mathematics. I even think math is a divine science. But you need a proper background to understand concepts by math notations.

Last book about reading that i.. read mentioned how the current scientific community is moving more and more far away from the average population and just focused in its own tribe, what you can see by so many jargon used.

But difficulty to understand those document is just to understand the dictionary they use but they really dont care in making things easier for “outside” people.
The way it works is that the scientists and researchers themselves use specific technical terms to avoid confusion and misinformation. That's then picked up by a scientific journal, which will dumb it down a notch or two so the next group can read it, and then people from that group will dumb it down further, and so on.

Like, a published paper will show a correlation between a drug's use and cancer cells dying. The journal headline will read "New drug killed 0.01% of cancer cells in experiment". By the time it gets to Facebook the same story will have a headline like "They've found a cure for cancer!!"

This bothers me quite a bit. And there are people who read a bunch of these articles and think they're super informed about science when what they're actually getting is just some journalists' interpretations of science in clickbait format.

In general, most easily-digestible scientific information is irrelevant to the general public so even if the article gets the conclusion wrong it doesn't really matter. But if you want to convince me to embrace some scientific conclusion that actually affects my life, then link me the source study (and preferably the raw data that goes with it) and I'll handle the conclusions on my own, thanks.

So now whatsapp also have some “like” system?

I just saw it twice but i saw the laughing emoji below a shared meme.

I guess Zuckemberg needs to enforce even further the behaviorism system over humans.

I decided on that while trying to write my FFXI bots.

Its not an exhageration to say FFXI made a huge impact in my life, not only because it was like 5 years in my life playing without breaks.

That's really awesome. It's crazy how much this game has changed/influenced people's lives.

Took wife/kids to dr weirdo 2: electric boogaloo for Mother’s Day and liked it a lot since I am a big fan of the first one.

If you like superhero movies, probably have a good time~

saw it Thursday, I do a pretty good job of not getting spoilers, wasn't quite the direction I was expecting. A few cool points but imo it did little to advance the MCU.

Dr. Strange is one of my favourite Marvel super heroes. Regardless of anyone's opinions I'll probably go check it out anyway. The first one blended the popcorn-scoffing, CGI madness blockbuster idea perfectly with cool magic. It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but it was probably the best Doctor Strange movie I would have expected.

Yeah the first one surprised me and liked it a lot more than I expected, at its release date it was my favourite marvel movie. 2 is probably in the top 5 for me.

Though it will take some time, we're determined to make it happen─not least for the benefit of those who play on consoles.

Cool. If only they'd do more of this for FFXI, too.

If people are circumventing your design, it's for a good reason. Windower probably wouldn't exist even to this day if they allowed Alt-Tabbing and showed stuff like party TP in the first place.

Though I'm also kinda torn on this, because I'm mostly OK with FFXI's user interface. I like how minimal it can be on the surface because all of the noise is hidden behind menus. The UI is one of those quality-of-life things that can get out of hand really quickly if the developers bend too much to the whim of players.

Being able to easily track all of your cooldowns at once without scrolling through a menu or being able to see your party's buffs and debuffs has become such a basic design feature and XI would benefit greatly from making those things baseline. An in game distance readout would be good too.

For XIV most of the things that people use addons for are small additions to existing UI elements, like slidecasting indicators or changing enemy casting bar color depending on the type of damage the attack deals so implementing them officially isn't going to be very intrusive. They'll never add an in game damage meter.

I think I'd personally be happiest if they came up with some sort of hybrid between the macro system and the menus that you can pull up in XIV. I know there's a mod out there that does something like it.

I'd rather not see dozens of cooldowns on my interface, but if I could hold down left or right trigger (L2/R2) and see the cooldown on individual abilities or when everything contained within a macro button was off cooldown I'd be happy.

I think my point is that I want the default screen to have as little interference as possible. But other information could be displayed by holding down a button or something. They could even do that with the map. Or better yet, tie that to another macro button as stated above. Set it to R2+Circle or something, so if you want to pull up the map you can do so with a simple button combo instead of a menu. But it would kill me if the game just plopped the map down on the screen.
