yes, nyt is shit. however it's important we ask ourselves questions:

  • where did they get this info?
  • how sensitive are this info anyway? aren't they available to public?

also, i got blocked by the site. do they have the article in question in there?

The reason I chose gold is because you can make more of it in that era (e.g. thru banking, trading, pilaging) while modern medicine (assuming you mean with all the synthetic chemicals) would be easily exhaustible, not to mention they can expire.

On the other hand, since you'd be carrying modern knowledge, you'd be able to setup some make-shift facilities, applying modern concept to what you can get. And you can achieve quite a lot that way. An example would be sterilization. You can also go a long way combining natural material.

A laptop with the essential human knowledge, big enough abtteries to power it, and a portable solar generator to charge its batteries.

Oh, and probably a bunch of gold to hire mercenaries and engineers.

Nothing much (as a king). He's just been an unpopular person to begin with.

I think it's a bit hit and miss. While most part it's just "meh", there are some parts that are actually better.

  • A good example would be Wretched Weaponry on the Junk Heap front; amazingly fitting with Gideon's descend to madness (I'd keep the default soundtrack on the rest of Junk Heap tho...).
  • I also love the use of Dependent Weaklings as Shadowlord's soundtrack.

With that said, I have more examples of what irks me.

  • Most notably, The Weight of The World should stay in Nier Automata; Ashes of Dreams carries more nuance for Nier Replicant.
  • I hate that they changed the waltz music to Amusement Park because it sounds nothing like waltz!
  • Town soundtracks:
    • Pascal for Facade, nope!
    • Fortress of Lies for Forest of Myth, nope!
    • Copied City for Airie, nope!
    • Voice of No Return for Seafront: hell no!
  • Field soundtracks:
    • Alien Manifestation for Barren Temple, nope!
    • City Ruin for plains: okay
    • Memories of Sand for Desert: completely expected
    • Amusement Park for Emil's Manor: so-so, decreases creepiness

Maybe I love Nier Replicant soundtrack too much. Nier Automata soundtrack is definitely great, but I do feel like Nier Replicant soundtrack has more depth in general.

Edit:

Almost forgot, can't have it without Kaine's themes, Deep Crimson Foe, and Song of the Ancient

Blissful Death for the Shades' flashbacks and Forest Kingdom for Forbidden Temple is actually better than the default. Also, The Tower for the Shadowlord's Castle is strangely fitting.

Edit #2:

I just went thru the game once more. The spundtrack for Sacrifice bossfight was great. Also, I really love the sequence of soundtrack for the Louise bossfight, except for the Vague Hope part.

After the most recent update, the view always return to the top of local homepage.

This is very disruptive, since some users would press home when they want to use another app, and would tap the icon on the homepage to go resume what they were doing.

I actually tried to write this post earlier, but something came up that requires me to context switch. When I was done with that, I tapped Jerboa icon on my homepage (muscle memory). To my surprise, the post I was writing disappeared, replaced by the local homepage. I don't even browse local that often...

Anyone here successfully seen anything other than 00 on their mPCIe POST card? I have tried it on different Thinkpads with different versions of libreboot & coreboot and yet it never display anything useful, even when system successfully boots.
