Creation of the Gods II quick verdict: 👍👍👍👍👍

Love it!

But I have a soft spot for old fashioned xianxia, where the stories are adapted from ancient Chinese mythology and fantasy classics.

Personally, this reminds me of the second part of the Lord of the Rings, with that impossible siege and a terrible army.

To me, the action and plot never faltered even a second. And there were many cool battle moments. And the female general? Now that's a right proper female general.

If it's playing in a theatre near you, do make the effort to see it in the cinema. It's that kind of movie.

PS: There are three end credits scenes so don't leave the theatre when the movie ends.

This Singaporean's point of view about the Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year controversies is pretty much mine and other Malaysian's.

@EllenInEdmonton I think Malaysians are the most chill. We don't care either way 😅

@CurtAdams well just don't say this in china lol.

A few days ago I commented that the Chinese on #Xiaohongshu are sensitive about #ChineseNewYear being called Lunar New Year. (fyi not every Chinese are not offended by this btw, generally Chinese in Malaysia don't seem as bothered, tho we call it CNY).
I promised I will the content explaining why.
Interestingly, President Obama has come out to talk about why we should not call it Lunar New Year, so you may find this interesting.

@ronsboy67 @scalzi yes I find it funny that OpenAI is complaining after stealing our content *And* locking what it reaped behind a paywall 😆

"Qwen 2.5-Max outperforms ... almost across the board GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3 and Llama-3.1-405B,"

Poor OpenAi. Now it needs to accuse Qwen of stealing too.

After The Story of Pearl Girl, we have another drama about a woman opening a business during the Tang dynasty? Well, I gamely decided to recap this drama. How did it fare in the end?

@JillsJoy @thalassophobic @Rozzychan yes, it's pretty fuss free. However, I use WordPress.com, and it has a toggle that says connect to the Fediverse, and that's it, done. If you use the open source version I think you need to download the Fediverse widget.

Stop teasing and give me 念无双 already 😭🧧
