That would work if you were talking about what constitutes a better saw, but it falls apart when you specify a saw that is "better at sawing".

You understand that we're simply talking about what cuts wood better, correct? Not how the saw makes you feel or how fuel efficient it is.
Just the wood. Nothing else matters. Take the situation out of it and you can still use the word.
But it can be. An easy example would be that maybe one saw leaves a finer grain texture than another (likely a powered saw) - in this case it has nothing to do with the amount of wood cut but rather how it is cut. It's entirely possible that some hippie may feel that a saw that leaves a rougher texture makes a better cut due to the cut wood feeling more natural or something.

How good are the openings in the mobile version in terms of bitrate and resolution?
They could replace the UBW and HF openings from the Vita OP patch if they're "objectively better".
That's an increase in resolution and definition. That's not necessarily the same as an increase in quality. Higher resolution and higher definition are not synonyms of higher quality, but higher quality is synonymous with better quality. If something has a higher quality, then it is better in some way than whatever it is that has lower quality, regardless of what way that difference in quality is measured. That's what it means. It's not that "higher" in itself is always a synonym for "better" (it isn't), but when used like this, to describe the quality of something, it has the same use and meaning as "better" in this contex, and is a synonym for that.
That is correct, that is exactly the case. Don't know why you think that's nonsense. You can objectively say that a version of a release of a movie or show has a higher resolution or definition than a different version, but you can never say that it objectively has a higher (i.e better) quality, you can only say so subjectively.
Then he would be wrong, because "better at cutting wood" refers specifically to the ability to cut through wood as fast and easy as possible (and thereby also being able to cut through as much wood as fast as possible). There is no subjective meaning or interpretation involved. That's objectively and literally what it means, and the only thing it means. That's what you seem to be having trouble understanding/accepting here. If you had just written "better" rather than "better at cutting wood" you would be right, as "better" by itself can mean a whole bunch of different things depending on the subjective interpretation, but "better at cutting wood" refers to a very specific meaning.
^This.
Yes, even then. See my explanation of why above.
Exactly. I'm not sure if NM didn't notice this post, or if he's deliberately being stubborn and ignoring it.

So, time for an update and some consultation. I've remade the status menu with prerendered text so it would look good on high res (and basically any res). So which do you prefer:

The differences are italic text for servant general info, and using abbreviated names for skills (not sure about MGC for magical energy here...)
Tell me your opinion on each of the new changes.
I prefer regular text and no abbreviations.
don't quote me on this
If it were possible to add a hover pop-up with the full description to each of the six stats then the abbreviated names would be better, since they fit better the triangles and look more elegant. Otherwise the full names are fine too.
I agree with aldeayeah on the general info text. Regular looks better.

F/GO supports
I prefer non-italics and abbreviations as they are easier to read on both accounts. But MGC is difficult to understand. Maybe MGK?
Same. I don't like these two new changes Quibi. Especially the abbreviations. The skills ought to have their full names. But yeah, the new font also actually looks worse to me than the old one, which was already fine the way it was imo. Don't know why you felt a need to change it.
"The world is just another word for the things you value around you, right? That's something I've had since I was born. If you tell me to rule such a world, I already rule it."
Actually I have no idea what the previous font was. I'd use it if I knew. Same for the tiger dojo character names. I'll post images of the other changes soon.
I suggested italics since the original Japanese text had it.
The idea for abbreviations originated from the forum banner with Lancer.
The funny one about his E-rank Luck?
