Anyway, in order to earn cash to pass by the regular arbitrary story roadblocks, you need to complete requests that might require you to find a certain number of items or kill a certain number of creatures or send your horde of feline minions forth into the dangerous wilderness and see what they bring back (not kidding even a little bit). I’d thought Xillia was bad in terms of lazy design but its sequel seems to be trying for the world record with its grand total of (approximately) four new areas. As far as I can tell, the sole purpose of this mechanic is to force you to revisit the same depressingly unoriginal and boring locales the first game put players through. The bank holds your future captive by limiting the places you can visit based on the debt you have remaining, so in between story missions you have to pay it off in order to continue. I can’t even begin to fathom why Bandai Namco would shaft the entire role of the protagonist for the sake of a system that has next to no impact on the game at all (especially considering they could have written the poor sod a script in addition to his precious choices). The net result is that you have dead weight for a main character in a franchise that lives and dies by the strength of personality of its characters and their interactions. As you get points you can earn a couple of skits and skills that you were given for free the first time around. This is done to allow the implementation of a choice system that gives the player the chance to rack up Affinity Points TM with various characters based on their decisions, or at least that’s what I assume. The first problem is that Ludger is selectively mute, with voice acting being provided for only one-word answers or various battlecries. In those two sentences I’ve mentioned at least four of the major issues that make Xillia 2 less than it could have been. Oh, and the guys from the original game tag along for the ride. All you need to know is that there’s a new character named Ludger (Loo-ger) who has a massive debt and gets roped into destroying Fractured Dimensions (alternate versions of the Prime Dimension, where the story takes place) in order to pay it off while being followed by a girl named Elle. If you’ve played Xillia and want more then the story does its job (and little else). I’m going to skip over the story summary this time around because, for once, the concept behind the game isn’t all that important for my review. It’s not quite bad, however, and I’m willing to concede that it shows sparks of ingenuity, though I cannot deny that with all things considered it is definitely a disappointment. Xillia 2 takes characters from the first game and plants them all into new environments which have the potential to draw out more of their unique personalities, which is a good thing, but does so while making an alarming number of poor design decisions and carrying over the feeling of a general lack of effort that also pervaded its predecessor. Unfortunately, it has already been superseded by its own sequel. When I recently reviewed Tales of Xillia I was forced to admit that it was the worst of the Tales games I had played up until that point.

It’s a hack that exists to mitigate restrictions that have made it hard to install & use a proper FUSE kernel driver. The point being this is not an ideal way to implement FUSE. Consider if there are changes to NFS implementation or policy (say authentication/security/crypto/etc) these can potentially impact FUSE file systems that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with NFS. While this link is not related to this project or macos, it does highlight another problem introduced by having FUSE atop NFS model… įUSE becomes dependent on an unrelated network file system and its changes. Say we want to implement memory mapping or some other feature that doesn’t map to NFS, well too bad because now everything has to be hacked in terms of NFS packets. Requiring FUSE to be underpinned by NFS further limits what our FUSE file systems can do. This creates a significant overhead over read & write syscalls that typically would have been extremely efficient with a kernel driver that can read/write process memory directly. This necessitates the generation, buffering, and parsing of TCP packets. KERNEL->NFS DRIVER->TCP SOCKET->FUSE NFS SERVER EMULATION->USER SPACE FILE SYSTEM Moving the FUSE driver into userspace is a hack at best and it looks like this: KERNEL->FUSE KERNEL DRIVER->USER SPACE FILE SYSTEM However barring an official apple implementation of FUSE, the next best thing would be a 3rd party kernel implementation as follows: Ideally there would be a direct path from the FUSE API to the kernel, maybe even one implemented by apple themselves. But now consider how FUSE itself needs to be implemented to hook up file systems into the OS. All FUSE file systems will be implemented in userspace using this API. The entire goal is to create a userspace API for file systems. Take a step back and think about what FUSE does in the first place. In this case it is clearly the better solution: this should not be in the kernel-space. Not the same functionality but actually faster, better support for file-locks and better stability.

Direct scrobbling support of the Windows 10 app by Last. I think the new version might be able to scrobble again from Groove, as I have seen related fixes on the developer's GitHub page.

Groove is just a new name for Xbox Music, and scrobbling this streaming service was possible in Chrome browsers with an extension called Last.fm web scrobbler.
