DXVK and VKD3D have been translating DirectX 9-12 to Vulkan for a while now, allowing DirectX games and applications to run on hardware and/or operating systems that don’t support DirectX.
Intels ARC GPUs don’t even support DirectX on a hardware level, like it’s just straight up not there. Intels drivers instead just translate it to Vulkan, and their at times insane FPS boosts from driver updates was due to them improving that translation and getting closer to 1:1 performance.
Shifting up a gear on the storytelling, yet again. The elves are here to deal with the dungeon. I’ve been waiting for this episode, but I could say the same for what’s coming next week, too! GOD I LOVE THIS ANIME!!
With this party of elves, the five parties of characters that are featured in the story have all been introduced. A truly massive cast.
The gang gets whisked away by a ghost friend that’s been following them since they encountered the master of the dungeon, taken to a level so deep and vast, it’s like being on the surface.
There is an entire country buried in the dungeon.
Back during earlier episodes, I kept pointing out depictions of winged lions. They are all over the dungeon. Now, we finally learn the significance of this.
It is a god. A real creature that exists within the dungeon, and in fact existed before it, as well. The deity of the golden kingdom, a country which the lunatic magician used powerful forbidden magic to transform into the dungeon, thousands of years ago.
Why? The paintings provided a hint. A long lived elf, he kept seeing the humans he lived with die of old age. Learning the ways of dark magic, and mad with grief, he cursed the kingdom and all of its citizens with eternal life, so he would never lose a loved one again.
Millenia later, still living deep in the dungeon, or as ghosts roaming its upper levels, the citizens are now begging for a death that refuses to come.
The serious tone in this episode was so well done, but it’s also full of the usual hilarity.
Oh, so she can use the saint powers. I was expecting that to not be the case, and for Jelly to have to make her way forward as a saint using her monster abilities.
This could work. “We only scan your shit with your permission” might placate enough people for them to not realise that to make that possibly at all, security has already been compromised, as required by law.
This does not alleviate the issues of the original proposal in any way whatsoever.
I dunno. Everything I’ve seen and heard seems perfectly legit.
But it’s yet another chromium fork, and I don’t use it.
I did for a while, as it has some very nice features, but it would consistently open without resuming my session. It would work for months and then just out of nowhere it would open up as if it was just installed. Everything gone. Utterly unacceptable.
Opera is shady. Vivaldi is developed by the people who used to develop Opera, back when it was its own thing and before it sold out to Chinese investors.
