Aside from the dipshit. Lucy and the cowboy ghoul really makes it great

#

Why did she ask to partake in coitus so casually

#

And theres a fucking cyclops

#

And a guy has a nose on his forehead

#

People in high positions of power within the big brand companies knew the great war was coming in the games, do they show anyone with that kinda knowledge here. @summer cedar

It gets even worse at already inflated convention centres.
Went to EGX in London a few years back. A can of Fanta was £2.50.

It was actually cheaper to buy imported drinks from America from one of the booths in the convention center

#

But, yes, it has that one-more-episode feature and keeps you going back for more. I hope season 2 is just as gripping and doesn't become a conspiracy story fest.

Speaking of, is that F4: New Vegas remaster or whatever it's called, finished?

I am wondering who they'll make as the Canon winner or the NV power struggle too

#

Hoping for yes man lol

errant raven
#

Guaranteed not the faction that supports slavery and arguably has a decently powerful army that opposes the NCR

#

They finally said war never changes

summer cedar
#

And apparently, Infinix has broken Apple's patent on it. I wonder if they'll fight over it.

#

Why not? There're fights breaking out all over the place these days.

errant raven
#

This show is canon?

summer cedar
#

Fallout the TV series, yes. It's made with God Todd's blessings and directions.

#

Fallout 5 will also be linked to however the TV series concludes.

#

So said God Todd.

errant raven
#

Damn so they straight up confirmed the theory about vault tec starting the war

summer cedar
#

His word is law.

errant raven
#

Vault tec really ruined the world just to fail to do what they ruined the world for

#

Well, they did say 'time' is the greatest enemy.

The ones who started the great war are still alive somewhere in a cryo tube

Why does the cowboy ghoul look like deadpool

Probably mask vs. stretched skin - similarities.

#

@lofty lark I’m guessing you were using anti recoil armor for the anti materiel too

lofty lark
#

I was not actually

brittle holly
#

Actually which armor is it

lofty lark
#

Light armor with reduced spotting distance from enemies

brittle holly
#

Cause heavy says reduces recoil in crouch and prone

lofty lark
#

Uhh lemme check real quick

brittle holly
#

I just tried it before my game crashed mid-round but not easy to control the vertical recoil

#

CE-81 Juggernaut is what I used for the MG-201.

Oh, look at that! I am discussing real-world wars on another server and here we are, discussing planetary bombardments and virtual slaughter. 😄

#

Just had to drive my gf’s diesel car for a bit

#

Ew

#

Never going back from electric

#

Feels unexpectedly weird to not have regen too

brittle holly
#

Eh, I prefer the extra control on a stick shift

proud jay
#

I really liked stick shift driving

#

but the way I drive now is just on another level of comfort and ease

celest musk
#

yea for just getting somewhere, automatic/electric is probably superior

brittle holly
#

Exactly

#

If you only care about A to B it’s superior

celest musk
#

also you probably have more brain resources available for watching the traffic, etc.

#

but i agree, it's somehow boring at the same time 😄

proud jay
#

I don't agree personally

celest musk
#

to a point where i feel like falling asleep of boredom

proud jay
#

to me it's superior in every way

brittle holly
#

You don’t really have to think about shifting

brittle holly
proud jay
#

and I was a true stick enjoyer before

celest musk
#

that's what she said...

#

anyways...

brittle holly
proud jay
#

well you don't have to

#

maybe automatic ICE is different idk

#

but electric is nice

#

especially when one of those shitty sports cars with loud music pulls up next to you at the light and you just yeet away in 0.2 nanoseconds

#

still fun sometimes

#

to be clear, I don't launch like that every time I stop

brittle holly
#

Nothing to do with being the best driver or w/e

#

Matter of taste really

#

It’s like trying to convince BM that he shouldn’t like C++ 🙃

proud jay
#

good that you understand that you're both wrong /s

#

but I really enjoy the control you get from turning the numbers dial yourself

brittle holly
#

Yeah I would get a Tesla tbh but can’t afford it

#

And also the electricity powering these things here in NA is mostly coal made so the whole low footprint thing goes out the window

brittle holly
#

Source?

#

Is the code written in cpp? 🙃

proud jay
#

Plenty of people that got one

#

The software is pretty decent afaik

#

It’s the actual construction that is often sub par

#

Panel gaps, loose rubber and the likes

#

Not that I have a tesla myself or ever driven one

#

Just speaking from seeing online

#

Also kinda sad that they don’t have android auto or apple carplay

So don’t get a Tesla

I have an idea. It's a stealth game. Where you the player try to find the gameplay

brittle holly
#

Shame, I wanted the IRL Copilot

brittle holly
#
  1. Why is it doing that stutter, just to seem more human?
  2. Why would you put dishes that are on the table into the drying rack? 😀
celest musk
#

it's kinda slow, too

#

i've expected better response times. i get those 2-3 seconds on my local setup with STT => Llama => TTS

#

all running on a smol 3060

broken sigil
timber viper
#

@empty dune

#

been helldiving since a few hours

i have an exceptionally good team so even hard is not challenging so far

but i wont say its easy

errant raven
#

Who decided that dick should be short for Richard

brittle holly
brittle holly
brittle holly
errant raven
#

You know what I want

celest musk
#

also what's annoying is that everything is sequentiel, so you have to wait for STT to kick off the LLM, and then wait for that to finish before you can do TTS 😦

broken sigil
#

That's how you get faster tts response time

celest musk
#

yesn't

#

depends on the TTS, sometimes you got to wait to figure out if something is a question or a normal sentence, so that it can emphasize correct

#

so i guess best you would get out of it is to send to TTS at the end of a sentence/question

#

[01:19:23.209] whisper result: What kind of trouble?
[01:19:23.210] whisper took 0.115s
[01:19:23.889] llama response: I don't know. We could get caught, or...
[01:19:23.889] LLM took 0.679s
[01:19:24.833] TTS took 0.943s

#

wonder how much faster this would get with a better GPU

#

like, is a 4090 likely to be 4 times faster than a 3060? :> (for rendering it kinda is, not sure about how well that goes down to cuda tasks)

errant raven
#

That's still faster than most humans responding with responses

#

Way faster

broken sigil
broken sigil
celest musk
#

so i guess i could have real time talks with the thing with a 4090

#

need one, now 😄

#

also what sucks is that i can only load a really smol LLM model rn

errant raven
#

Dont 4000 series have a better version of sli

#

Nvlink or some shjt

broken sigil
errant raven
#

And I think its considerably cheaper than 4090

celest musk
#

it's not actually 😦

errant raven
#

3090 same price?

celest musk
#

not the same, but the difference isn't worth to get a "old" card

errant raven
#

You see, that's why I dont do ai stuff or heavy programming shit

#

Always gotta upgrade for best results

celest musk
#

cheapest 3090 is 1200euro here (which is probably a steal rn...)

#

the others start at 1540euro

errant raven
#

That is a steal

celest musk
#

while a 4090 starts at 1750

celest musk
errant raven
#

210 difference, might as well go with a 4090 then.

celest musk
#

the 3090 for 1200 seems to be some vendor which wants it out of his stock

#

as it's a limited deal

errant raven
#

Only problem is case space. What if chasis isnt big enough

celest musk
#

i think mine is good enough

#

otherwise...

errant raven
#

Cant wait till 4090 is just $210 and the nvidia aitx 9090 ti comes out

celest musk
#

also the 4090 seems to be like 75-85% faster than the 3090

#

and probably a bit more power efficient

#

so i don't know what the fuck they even think asking almost the same price for 3090s

errant raven
#

I'd be scared of having a 4090 tho

#

Power pins might melt

celest musk
#

idk, i think most of this was due to not correctlly plugged in connectors

errant raven
#

That was debunked

brittle holly
errant raven
#

People dont suddenly forget how to plug in power connectors for GPUs after 20 years of using the same connection type

brittle holly
#

I think GamersNexus found they were melting when the harness was being bent past a certain angle

celest musk
#

that sounds a bit sus tho

brittle holly
#

It wasn’t because of user error per se, but rather a manufacturing deficiency

celest musk
#

even tho i feel like GamerNexus is pretty competent

#

so the bend probably decreased the connection surface of the pins

errant raven
#

If that was the case motherboard power connections and shit would have cases of melting for the past 20 years as well

brittle holly
#

No

#

It’s not just the bend

#

It’s the bend mixed with the amount of power going through it

errant raven
#

I mean incorrectly plugging in

celest musk
#

also, if i ever get one, it will be power throtteled a bit

#

i'm mostly interested because of the VRAM :/

@summer cedar the fallout show takes place after New vegas, not before 😮

summer cedar
#

1st season is out on Amazon Prime - 8 episodes in one shot.

#

2nd season - not sure whether it is confirmed.

#

If you want to look at it that way, it's about 3 movies.

errant raven
#

So what ending from new. Vegas is canon

summer cedar
#

🤷 We'll find out what happens.

#

And whatever Todd says is canon. Nothing else matters.

errant raven
#

Well they all three cant be canon

#

And he didnt work on new vegas or 3 at all, but its canon.

#

So it's not whatever he says

summer cedar
#

Actually, it is. When he releases Fallout 300000000, his story is the only thing that matters.

Everything else is fan fantasy.

Elder Scrolls needs some Argonian love. Time for Aquaman and a random, nameless Argonian to be fused together. Elder Scrolls 6 - RISE OF THE AQUAGON!

Do you not know who Aquaman is?

If you don't know who Aquaman is, or what an Argonian is, then you don't deserve to watch it. 😛

Damn, ES6 is based in Hammerfell....

I was hoping for some Argonian love.

You're a little too obsessed with Argonians.

summer cedar
#

Hey!

#

They've been ignored for a long time, ya know.

Ostracised, set aside, cast off to the fringes, etc. etc.

#

Besides, an Argonian hero would be a great excuse to hypercharge the combat animations, include somersaults, leaping stabs, bite attacks, etc. etc.

#

So why didn't the super Argonians conquer all of Tamriel with their super combat animations, you ask? - Because the Nords had dragons.

Makes perfect sense, I daresay. 😛

I've thought about this idea for a while, as a player, since I've been diving into single player games lately.

But I think is good idea in general

summer cedar
#

I think developers can already set up and link 'Buy Me a Coffee', Patron, Streamlabs Tip Pages, and several other avenues to receive donations.

#

Doing it through Steam directly would probably give Steam a cut of those donations, thereby giving them more money.

That too.

I prefer to donate to that ball-sy developer, the valorous kind, the courageous lark that chirps at the top of its voice, "I WANT YOUR MONEY! CLICK HERE TO DONATE!"

I asked AI - Co-Pilot.

#

I am citing the relevant part now.

#

--- Friendship Turning into Love:
Most romantic couples actually start out as friends. The percentage of friends-first romantic couples varies from 40% to 73%, with a weighted average of 68% 2. ---

#

So, Eren, you're in the proper minority, I think. 😄

brittle holly
timber viper
#

Most romantic couples actually start out as friends
this is different

#

being friend for a long time and then being best friends or something, then making a move is just breaking the trust in the relationship imo

brittle holly
#

So if no one makes a move how do they end up together then

summer cedar
#

I think you're moving the goalpost, but let me ask CoPilot to clarify regardless.

I think several Pathfinder players have come to the conclusion that the Monk's Flurry of Blows skill is overpowered and needs to either be toned down, or complimented by other skills.

brittle holly
#

Never heard of this game

summer cedar
#

There's nothing really like Flurry of Blows and the fact that you can dip one level in Monk to take advantage of it, is a bit overpowered.

#

Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - DnD RPGs.

funny thing is i always play as a human in dnd

Do humans in DnD still get extra feats?

In Pathfinder, one reason to go human is the extra skills / feats + Fighter class to spam feats.

Looks like Manor Lords’s solo UE dev had to bite the bullet and partner up with a publisher eventually, but at least it’s releasing Early Access now

summer cedar

Due to money reasons?

#

Or lack of gold?

brittle holly
#

For marketing and stuff

summer cedar
#

Ah. Makes sense.

brittle holly
#

Prly lack of gold too

summer cedar
#

It's a good game though.

#

Besides, the serfs would probably rebel without a proper feudal lord.

brittle holly
#

Yeah, that game’s what got me into UE

empty dune
# summer cedar Due to money reasons?

manor lords is the highest wishlisted game on steam right now, it comes with a lot of expectations. i wouldnt be surprised if that was the reason for the publisher partnership

summer cedar
#

I played the demo.

brittle holly
#

Well no

summer cedar
#

Loved it.

brittle holly
#

They partnered last year I think

summer cedar

I will play it for free on Game Pass.

Marketing makes sense. There's a lot of work post-release that you really don't want to do, unless you absolutely have to.

brittle holly
#

That guy deserves my hard earned money

summer cedar
#

Especially... ugh... talking to the people who bought your game and will buy it.

#

I'll just use Indian elephants for my marketing.

They can trumpet my game's release, accept money from terror-stricken customers, and just destroy the homes of anyone who refuses to pay.

I think raindust is an elephant farmer

Oh yeah. That.

Interestingly, they have already sent elephants to their neighbours.

They need to. The country has something like 120,000?

#

Yikes! I apologise.

It's 130,000.

An elephant never forgets. I hope they forgive me.

Idk man, Hanibal’s elephants were pretty scary back in Caesar III

True, but those were probably African-y ones.

Indian ones are friendlier.

cuter, too.

Unless they are in heat.

Unless you piss them off

Run for the hills.

Chain the elephant to a tree first.

Preferably one that isn't malnutritioned.

How you gonna chain an elephant to a tree when it’s in heat and running after you?

Less carbs in general, even less sugar. Good food, good rest, regime and physical activities. It was always the same solution.

Which reminds me, yesterday I tried around 100 ml of Monster energy drink. I got an weird heartbeat and then unable to sleep until the late evening. This thing should be given only with prescription.

brittle holly
#

Huberman said to not eat right away in the morning, which is good, cause I don’t rly eat much mornings

pearl elk
#

thats why there is a warning label like cigarettes

All I can smell after a night of clubbing these days is the red bull residue burnt into my nasal cavity

lol

#

Well doctors might endorse if a pharmaceutical company invite them to an week long seminar on all-inclusive island.

pearl elk
#

I think adderall might win, that said pretty sure most these kiddos are mixing energy drinks and prescription drugs 😛

cursive crypt
#

We have no warning labels on these energy drinks here, I heard some want them to be banned for <18 🤞

pearl elk
#

really, did doesnt even warn pregnant women not to consume em?

What doesnt kill them makes them stronger by all accounts, not that having brain cells left is important 😹

Brain = pain => no brain

pearl elk
#

you did atleast read the ingredients on the can didnt you

cursive crypt
#

Oh, yea. I just didn't expect that effect. And I mean, youngsters drink few of these per day.

#

Also, I'am an avid coca cola drinker. Like one cup per week on average.

pearl elk

lol slow down grandpa, one cup a week 😛

maybe they should put this gif on the monster energy can

cursive crypt
#

Appealing to a new target group - boomers

pearl elk
#

tbh my favourite was the one Solo released with the guarana in it, was basically high energy lemonade

cursive crypt
#

I think, I may have drunk a tea with guarana 🤔

#

til that the monster I drunk had a bile in it (taurine)

pearl elk
#

yeah stuff like that without all the extra sugar dont seem so bad but monster has maltodextrin ontop of glucose, sugar and taurine

cursive crypt
#

What about the maltodextrin?

pearl elk
#

I used to have to be very careful because I had hypoglycaemia so I know all the fancy words for sugar

cursive crypt
#

"The amounts of guarana, taurine, and ginseng found in popular energy drinks are far below the amounts expected to deliver either therapeutic benefits or adverse events"

pearl elk
#

corn syrup, thats basically what maltodextrin is

cursive crypt
#

Well, you just to look at the simple sugar content in the labels?

#

Surprisingly the Monster was like average juice, 34 kcal, near 7-8 gr of sugar per 100 ml.

pearl elk
#

well that doesnt work as to how your body processes the different sugars

cursive crypt
#

Which is the norm for fruit juices and sodas.

pearl elk
#

alot of whats in energy drinks is heavily processed so it hits fast

#

lol fruit juice, basically more lolly water

cursive crypt
#

You mean, simple? Glucose, fructose, lactose I doubt.

pearl elk
#

maltodextrin is powdered corn syrup, glucose is alittle heavier than fructose but you also need longer burning sugars or you crash, which is usually the bit where insomnia kicks in

cursive crypt
#

By heavier are you referring to their glycemic index? Fructose has lower. Complex sugars even lower.

#

Gotta check about that maltodextrin. Haven't brushed up my knowledge on these since some time. Actually, since I got fat.

pearl elk
#

I just cut most sugar drinks out of my diet entirely now since I dont have to keep my sugar level from crashing like I used to

#

maltodextrin is very starchy vegetables basically

#

high GI

cursive crypt
#

Have you talked with a dietary spec / a doc? I know some ppl started to regulate their insulin after moving to specifically low-carb diet, not only simple carbs, but complex too (grains e.g.).

pearl elk
#

I did when I was younger, they explained that I needed more longer burning sugars so I actually needed more carbs less processed sugars so my sugar level wouldnt crash.

cursive crypt
#

Oh, I see, the digestible variants of the maltodextrin is just a chain of dozen of glucose units. GI of 110! wtf

#

I think the average knowledge is about simple sugars to be reduced, but as I said, turns out the complex (slow-burning) ones are also important. But if you have no problem, good for you.

#

I was thinking to get a glucomer at some masochistic point. It can predict how well is your body on that front.

pearl elk
#

yeah it all just depends on you metabolism, bodies dont tend to like things out of the ordinary thats why you see kiddos just glugging down heaps of energy drinks like theyre nothing

cursive crypt
#

ngl, makes me kinda concerned about youngster

#

They have nearly zero knowledge about their health and there are much more traps than back then.

pearl elk
#

yeah I only know this stuff now as an adult because of health complications, I know of people who Drs said died of heart problems brought on by consuming excessive amounts of energy drinks

cursive crypt
#

smh

pearl elk
#

Not sure how they are allowed to advertise everywhere but cigarette companies arnt

#

we basically just swapped one lot of bad choices for another

cursive crypt
#

And even added. Politicians are dumb af in general and companies care more about profit than health.

pearl elk
#

I like how it completely excludes people with heart conditions on the warning label

#

thankfully Id imagine most people with issues like that know better than to overload on stimulants but if youre young and have no idea its not hard to just let your heart work overtime till it just stops

#

on the upside, we might outlive all these crazy youngsters 😛

Honestly, I just like the fantastical. Even isekais where they aren't totally op are lots of fun.
