My take on this is Capcom failed to get MHN into the Chinese market because of the great Internet firewall, so they work together from inside with Tencent to enjoy a piece from the Chinese playerbase

I logged about 30 hours in the open beta on PS5 and really had fun. I played mostly hunting horn and gunlance, and was very satisfied with the changes. Playing solo in the map highlights the "seamless-ness" they have been repeating over the conferences.

I have two main complaints for the beta.

The performance on PC was inexcusable. I tried to play it with RTX 2070 (exactly their recommended spec), and it did not look good with poor frame rate. Furthermore, I played on Linux with protonGE, and visual glitches happened often that made me have to restart the game

Play session with friends was confusing and chaotic. I understand things like 100 person lobby, player links, environment link, quest board, etc serve different purposes for multiplayer, but they have been made complex when I just "want to play with friends" in the end. The lobby searching algorithm often placed us in 99% lobby, when many 40-60% lobbies were joinable with manual search. Disconnection happened often, where some quests were rejoinable and some were not.

Overall, I'm sure the game will turn out great eventually after better optimization, but I'm just not sure when. I'm now holding off preordering, and wait until better performance is shown later

Wait till bro find out the program written in the "memory safe language" depends on many libraries written in C

Last time I tried Virt manager, I couldn't figure out bridge networks and ended up corrupted the XML config for the VM. Skill issue for me I guess

I just looked them up and maybe you are right. But QEMU definitely lacks a GUI config tool that is both easy to use and allows for advanced features like snapshots. So far the only ones I know is GNOME Boxes and Virt Manager, and neither is as good as providing handy ways to configure as VirtualBox. I could probably just write the XML config or QEMU command by the documentation, but next time it could be a different scenario so I have to investigate the docs and maybe a few more forum posts. In VirtualBox, the buttons that do everything for me are always there

Because they are for different use cases. I use QEMU+KVM on desktop for games and 3D CAD software, because of its undeniable performance advantage. But on work laptop, I use VirtualBox to test my software on different platforms. On VirtualBox it's relatively easy to initialize a VM, configure network, file sharing and device passthrough, and its snapshot feature allows me recreate the same environment for troubleshooting

Not all dev means developers/development, it could also mean devices on Linux, for example

All of the quirks you said are true, yet they still established the "okay" ecosystem of hobby-grade microcontrollers like Arduino, IoT devices, and other small scale robotics systems. None of them would have happened without the "okay" abstraction C/C++ provides as opposed to assembler

Over the beginning few years into software engineering and FOSS world, I legit thought Sourceforge is a sketchy software download website

What's wrong with embedded C? Would you rather write assembly?

While I do see most of the listed stuff happened to me before, they only appear once in a while and it's often just one sentence in the list is true. I think OP is trying to make an exaggerating slander where it's extremely unlucky to have more than 5 sentences is right

While a separate platform for fan community is nice, they need to implement better content moderation because I saw NSFW posts once in a while. At least add an NSFW tag and make it blurred or something
