Is there a thread with as much replies and activity as this one, that is not just a sort of spam thread? :p

On topic though, New Full Metal Alchemist Manga came out a couple days ago, showing what Ed and Al did after it ended. Was nothing really special, but mainly just showed them melting Al's armor down and turning it into useful parts that people will end up using. Looked like it would be 30 pages long,but ended actually around 17, and had nothing but filler advertisements for the rest. I was hoping for a little more from it, but it wasn't too bad lol.

Just finished an anime called Zipang. So disappointing. Modern Japanese battleship gets thrown back into World War II. Really cool plot potential. The first few episodes were pretty exciting, but then it became boring and slow. I kept watching so I could know how it ended.

Didn't even have an ending. It was basically a normal episode and they just leave you hanging. Must have run out of production money or something :p

That's what happen when writer have a really good concept but don't know how to implement it. Just look at Occult Academy, it had a really good ending (and overall story).

And juresp I haven't seen any good anime like Ghost in the shell (I don't consider FF:SW as a good anime :p ) yet. I would sure be thankfull if someone else has any in mind.

Whoah, it ended?! I think I saw up to episode 11 or 12. I wasn't keeping track of when episodes were coming out. I'll check it out.

This weeks bleach episodes sucked big time, and looks like the next one will too.

It is actually better animated than it was drawn out. They are sticking with the manga well, but it seems more serious at least in motion. I hope they do his death justice, because in the manga, it was pretty lack luster. But after this, it gets totally awesome.

Just watched Broken Blade Movie 2 - I have to say it has potential.

Although more critically I might be watching it just because of the need to know the whole story of what happened in the past. :/

A few other ones I watched,

Kurokami -

everyone goes ssj4 in the end, Type Moon ending, I would say poor from the concept up, Sailor Moon / Digimon Tamers type power-up sequences, shornen;predictable, short.

Avoid at all costs.

Tears of Tiara -

Many useless female characters when it comes down to it, meh storyline (doesn't feel developed enough, some parts are good though!), hidden power type ending, good fights.

OK to watch, but not to re-watch.

Bleach is out, I'm sad thinking it's going to end :(.

Cite your sources. I don't want to be celebrating early. Also is there an abridged version?

    • AMD 9070XT

      By Circaflex · Posted

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By WaltC · Posted

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
