I tried Rise through the demo and really didn’t enjoy how it played

worldly ivy
#

I mean it’s still a mainline, just not on a big console. Like 4 or Gen Ultimate.

solid sun
#

the mainline games all have numbers in the title artwork. The sideline games do not.

#

Rise is not mainline

worldly ivy
#

Then I guess World isn’t mainline.

solid sun
#

world is mainline, it is the first of generation 5

#

wilds is the first generation 6 game

worldly ivy
#

But you said all of the mainline games have a number in the title artwork. World doesn’t have a 5 and Wilds doesn’t have a 6.

cobalt briar
#

I’ve never heard of the ‘numbers in the title’ thing

#

Like a number hidden in the logo?

solid sun
#

don't remember how it was with World, but with Wilds it should be obvious

#

I would post an image here, but I don't want to be muted since I don't know how I can do that

cobalt briar
#

I mean I can map out the 6 easy in the Wilds logo now that I’m looking for one

worldly ivy
#

You mean the fuckin swirl by the word Wilds

Which is part of the main design on the side

solid sun
#

yeah that

cobalt briar
#

But idk where the 5 is coming from in World

worldly ivy
#

You have to cut out the design entirely to get 6

solid sun
#

there was some other thing about this, but you're pedantic now, if you don't even know what a mainline and what the handheld team made games are, you should just let people who know what is a generational monster hunter game and what isn't tell you.

worldly ivy
#

Point out the 5 in Monster Hunter World

solid sun
#

I will point towards the block button because you're an ass

worldly ivy
#

Burden of proof is on you

cobalt briar
#

I’ve got an image

#

Ohh, so it doesn’t work here mono_yumcha

solid sun
#

I mean World was setting a completely new generation of monster hunter, that's why they dropped the obvious number in the title name.

#

if people don't know generation 5 was the first monster hunter that didn't have loading screens during a hunt.

Malmud writes an essay

@kindred sleet
(Telling a story!)

There was a time when my neighbors constantly had late night parties. They weren't cery loud, everyone there was too stoned or something for that.

Well, when I was younger, kids would walk on the edge of all the yards to get to the dirt road, so the first neighbors that lived there, left a patch of open yard in front of their fence for that.

You can go across my yard, to that patch, then cut through the next yard to get to the road.

The party neighbors, they never asked for permission for their guests to drive into my yard and park in that of open yard, but they did it every night.

Well, one day, they just all stopped and there was a car stuck in that free patch of yard. My brother was so sick and tired of their headlights in his bedroom window during the night that he dragged a chunk of old, rusty barbed wire onto our yard. One of the cars ran it over and was stuck for months

If I remember correctly it goes:
Fresh, flash frozen, dried, freeze dried.

#

Probably not. Most don't eat them at the peak feshness, so they have lost a bit of nutrients.
When dried or freeze dried it is attempted to do so at peak freshness.

#

Might be able to find better info and a rate of nutritent loss on a health website

🤔I wonder if I can vacuum seal blueberries without crushing them to mush

Star Fox Assault was the Metroid Fusion of Star Fox

It pulls all of the air out, vacuuming it to the item. I am wondering if blueberries are too delicate to handle my cheapo sealer xD

Guess I will find out in the summer.

I bought some blueberry plants last weekend xD

I question the wisdom of suffocating blueberries to begin with.

night plume

jam them then jar them, zero loss

teal iron
night plume

I am learning. I kill so much x.x

Tomatoes aren't too hard though.
-Go get a free bucket from a grocery store bakery.
-Buy some cheapo gardening soil (I get bags 2 for $5 from a grocery store).
-buy a plant, shove it in the bucket.
-give it something to climb.

The hardest part is watering. Tomatoes are usually okay without needing a bunch of nutrients fed to them.

for the uninitiated, green tomato sauce slaps

Just a flower pot that ibstead of having soil/dirt, it has moss in it.

Some plants aren't supposed to be in dirt, so they put moss in the pot to help hold mosture for the plant

so long you keep moisture and minimal air inside between opening, and use clean utensils when unloading

ideally i make batches i will use for a single meal/week so i can refrigerate when opening

The U.S. Department of Justice has sent subpoenas to Paramount in its investigation of the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The D.O.J. is concerned over how the deal would affect studio output, content rights and competition among streaming services.

Assault was fine. Command was awful, Zero was just why

teal iron

They said classic style so
Deeply worried it will be bland

#

The random game they got pasted into was also bad

#

Assault was great for its time

i mean, it suffers from Early/Mid-2000s fps design syndrome

humble parrot

The 3DS remake was made a lot easier than the n64 original...

But it was nice at least

teal iron

And by no aiming allowed I mean literally if a weapon doesn't aim for you it is already bottom tier

So really a modernized game in the same general format would be LatPerfect

Assault wasn’t well received but it really wasn’t terrible.

A good mix of pew pew violence, fun fun spaceship autoscroll, haha I'm in a tank and you're not, and spaceship without autoscroll

Assault has by far the coolest arwing

every other arwing WISHES it could be as cool as Assault Arwing

Brazilian here. Nintendo does have its fair share of fans (some are quite... Passionate as you should expect) but... Yeah, hardware and games are VERY expensive. The Switch 2 here is like 4000 brazilian real. That's like 761,18 US dollars according to the currency converter I just checked.

Just today, I've seen physical Switch 1 games (Let's Go Eevee) going for 368 brazilian real (about 70 US dollars). Not sure how much Switch 2 games go here but I think it's within this mark.

Eh, I don't think we need complicated LLMs to expand brain capacity with computers. We just need a simpler sorting algorithm to translate neurochemical information into digital data and back again while adapting to changes in someone's biochemistry.

Greed

honest rivet
#

Not an adequate source I'm afraid.

#

AI technology popular amongst techbros at the moment (the data sorting algorithm category known as Large Language Models) has strongly diminishing returns on training material and processing power, which means it's become too inefficient to realistically operate.

#

Hiding it away in secret doesn't address this fundamental issue. In fact if it was that important to your business you could probably run a hacked together homebrew version on it on a few processing servers without too much quality loss, so long as it's been stuffed with enough training material.

#

Mind you, this is something every "AI" company is facing at the moment. They're struggling to turn profits because their tech is unreasonably expensive in infrastructure, operating, and maintenance costs. It's why everyone's calling it an economic bubble.

devout quiver
#

The reason AI is so damn expensive is because of the public use from it.

Likewise public use is what trains it, once it reaches a point they are happy with it you stuff it in a box to bring out when someone really wants to pay for its services.

You do not kill it off for that would be more financially destructive

Once trained those costs evaporate

honest rivet
#

Nope~

#

Because that training material doesn't disappear. It might not remain intact, but its impact is stored in the system. Then when it comes time to process a prompt that model derived from the processed training material is dredged up, and to handle the size of the model a lot of processing power is needed.

#

It's why small scale LLMs are tangibly different from the big players.

devout quiver
#

All their data is essentially stolen

#

Or stored on their own cloudservices offsetting costs.

honest rivet
#

Besides, even if we assume the operating costs disappear as soon as training is complete, that doesn't justify hiding an already established system. It's pretty simple to just charge operating costs to the end user, like Playstation Now, Netflix, and other streaming services.

#

The issue is that processing even a single prompt for a modern, major LLM consumes way too much energy to be practical. The technology peaked in viability with systems that were functionally toys.

#

So no, the Sora video generation model isn't being "hidden" for secret use. That would be even dumber than just killing it.

How can you trust them 100%?

They change color, that cna be good or something is wrong with water parameters.

They can be active, this can be good, or something is wrong with water parameters.

They can vanish for days, this can be them just hiding or they can all be dead.

If given the chance, many of them just decide to walk out of the dang water! I have one that sleeps out of the water x.x

Are they molting? Or is that the ring of death?

They are plotting things >.>

@night plume unrelated: have you heard of butter going bad? My boss mentioned it last week and it blew me away. I've got 2lbs of Amish roll butter that'll live on my counter until it is used up. Never even makes it to the reefer.

If it is in a closed container on the counter, it should last a good long while(if it is 100% real butter).
It loses flavor and breaks down in the fridge if not stored well.

It also goes bad if left out ON a counter uncovered bc of the usual reasoning.

#

Primary issue with butter going bad is how many that claim tk be 100% butter but are really an oil spread with preservatives.
(I use the Scarlett test on butter. She won't eat it if it isn't just cream and salt)
