This is so different from the previous Horizon games... I played it for the un-frantic-ness and for the intriguing story.

This looks like a MOBA, those are frantic, they tend to also be light on story.

I don't think this is for me.

ML translations have been around for a long time, and works. It however is not an LLM. Due to marketing "AI" is confused with "LLM". Due to corporations pushing this unethically and trying to not give us a choice, people are very anti "AI", hence long-standing "AI" like vector-spaces are now painted with the same brush.

Don't attack the person for getting the minutiae wrong, especially when corporations spend money to confuse and misdirect.

Did Mozilla do the right thing here? Arguably, yes. Is it perfect? No.

I would love to turn off "AI" features by default and then only turn the ones I need on manually. Instead it's either "all OFF", or "ON by default".
Can I live with it? Yes.

My beard constantly starts due to laziness, but I either get remarks about needing to shave or it starts itching and I shave in any case 😅

Impressed that your partner prefers your (likely scratchy) facial fur 😆

as I look like an upside down lightbulb with a beard.

My dad had a small poster in his office that said:
"God only made so many perfect heads, the rest he covered with hair"

Hence you have a perfect head, show it off 😅

dx6 was a big improvement over dx5. Introduced immediate mode which stayed until dx9.
dx7 was basically a drop-in-replacement for dx6. They kept the retained mode libs and updated the immediate mode stuff. As I remember the only noticeable change was how the maxtrix operations was handled, and if you did that change you'd get matrix processing offload to the TnL unit of Geforce/Radeon/Matrox cards of the time.

I think the industry upgraded to dx7 quite fast as it was a near-seamless upgrade from a dx6 codebase.

Games I played this year that was absolutely phenomenal:
* Baldurs gate 3 (played through twice for the first time)
* Cyberpunk 2077 (second playthrough)
* Titanfall 2

Games I played and enjoyed them for the weird experiences that they are:
* Quantum Witch
* Slay the princess

Games I put a lot of time into, but is merely good:
* Eternal Strands
* Nimrods
* Clair Obscure: Expedition 33

Games I played that was especially disappointing:
* Megabonk
* Detroit: Become human

Servo has been improving at a very serious rate in the last few months alone. Unfortunately it's still missing a few key features such as WebRTC, but its JS & CSS support is coming along nicely. I tried a few Vue and React based SPA sites and other than a few rendering issues it was basically working. I think we are a year out soonest with something usable, and then there probably will still be many issues.

Falkon is a functional stripped-down chromium clone. I've been using it as a backup test browser as it tends to be a bit behind latest chromium releases.

Biggest issue with both of them is no plugin system.

I should really look at more Firefox forks to use in the meantime as the multi-account-container feature is critical for me at this time.

Sigh. I so hate the AI fad. It's even worse than the blockchain fad.

I hope they addressed the irregular difficulty curve. I found the sudden spikes in difficulty incredibly frustrating. Then again, I probably won't fire it back up any time soon, it was too frustrating :-(
