It's not that the icons are tiny, rather people driving usually operate by touch because their eyes need to be on the road.

Rich people. The cost is rich people.

That's a very cromulent thing to say.

It's a tough and punishing game where 100 hours of grind means MAYBE the latest boss won't KO you in a single hit.

It has 18 different weapons that each require a 20 minute tutorial from some guy on YouTube, and each requiring 20 hours to master. It's a "the wand chooses the wizard Harry" and everyone is going to have their own favorite weapon. I myself ended up being a Charge Blade user, which is the most technical weapon in the game. Using it is like performing a Japanese Tea Ceremony whilst battling a 15 foot long alligator in a small room.

Melee weapons need sharpening mid battle, range weapons need ammo you have to craft before entering battle else you are SOL. Your stamina requires that you eat a large steak every 5 minutes or you will be constantly exhausted.

There is no twitch. Every action needs to be deliberate. A monster takes minutes of constant fire to stun or paralyze, during which time someone with a large weapon administers the tea he has been brewing. It's called a Super Amped Elemental Discharge.

Loot is random but the part you want can only spawn when you damage the proper parts with the proper weapon.

So what makes me like this game? This kinda gameplay loop means Losing is par for the course. No "git gud" or "skills issue" kids are ever going to play this game. A skilled healer/buffer is treated as a god among men, unlike Overwatch where it's your fault the team that spread itself all over the map got wiped out.

Tldr. Playing 100 hours of monster hunter filters the player base down to a group of Zen Monk Masochists that enjoy 2 things.

  1. Spending 40 minutes taking down a 4 winged dragon that farts lightning every 10 seconds.

  2. Each other's company.

I hope this makes sense.

It would seem that the ubo lite version was made specifically to cater to chrome and manifest v3 if I'm not mistaken...

In the end the author may have just felt it was too much energy keeping a pared down chrome version on Firefox when the full version is present and working. Especially after this particular drama.

Isn't there a danger of someone shorting data to voltage by inserting this thing wrongly?

Sounds like a job for Elon Musk.

Eh it will be fine. You'll just get all the performance of a 2070 is all

I'm not so sure about food, but for many mass market products it is indeed true that the same manufacturer can be engaged to make the same product under different branding. The difference then comes down to the corners cut to meet the client's pricing. Crappier boxes, thinner bags, packing material, and quality inspection. Assuming the core ingredients are not compromised in some way.

In the before times, I was uniquely blessed with the ability to decipher these paper maps. I was seen as a god among men.

Alas, with the advent of GPS and navigation I am but a mere relic of days gone by, regaling my days of glory to whomever should have the ears to listen.
