Yomi was, as far as I know, the first fighting card game. It was pretty popular, had a ton of tournaments, online versions on Steam and iOS. Now, 15 years later, I have a sequel: Yomi 2. Yomi 2 is not a new edition but rather an entirely new game. Now there are high and low attacks, high and low blocks, projectiles, bursts, and many other changes. Despite all those new things, the game is actually more streamlined and plays faster than before.

With my technical accumulation, this plug-in has gradually become more professional. I have written several ways of inspector, and finally I still feel that the chrome way is the most convenient.

It's not contradictory at all. What people should do and what they want to do are often not the same, usually because it is easier and feels better to do what they want rather than what they should. My friends tell me they should go to the gym and exercise regularly, but they want to play games on the couch. They aren't incompetent, they knows how and why to go to the gym.
