Demon’s Souls Is a Lie: Why FromSoftware’s Masterpiece Was Just the Backup Plan

We assume FromSoftware had a clear, unbroken artistic vision for Demon’s Souls from day one. A leaked prototype proves otherwise.

Stop Spinning Up Local Servers. Firefox Just Made Them Unnecessary.

Firefox Local Mode eliminates the most overlooked friction in modern web development: the mental context switch of spinning up a local server just to preview an HTML file.
