Imagine a soldier who trained his whole life, mastered hand-to-hand combat, and ran 5 miles a day, only to get killed by a geek sipping a Sprite Zero in an air conditioned room. Modern warfare is wild.

@DearS_o_n Working out

Without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression to a man?

@Smurfgotbeat @V3nti1at0r @DMC_Ryan We need an area with high mob density to finish all the challenges

@V3nti1at0r @DMC_Ryan Well yeah especially in this day and age of gaming with the amount accessibility options available.

Wait is this actually correct? Enemies don’t respawn? I’ve wiped enemies off the map like they’re just red blips and came across more in the same areas. @DMC_Ryan don’t take this the wrong way but the majority of your colleagues just can’t be trusted.

@RealMarcFoxx @_strange_trip @cue_the_lizard NOT FOR MOVIE GAME TOURIST

Crimson Desert: I rolled credits after completing all main story quests, And I only have four achievements. FOUR! WTF, Pearl Abyss? Why is nearly every achievement tied to doing every single element of something?

@BlackOutEmzZ @SpawnYaardReply You have to feed them

@SpawnYaardReply Does anyone know whether these chicks grow or not? After, 1 week they are the same. Yeah, I was expecting more for level 4 camp upgrade.

Crimson Desert 4th camp expansion feels lacklustre, especially after spending 100,000 coins. 1st off there is no cut scene or anything to make it feel like an upgrade happened. The upgrades include: 🔹Flags are added on top of tents 🔹+10 animal space in ranch 🔹Your comrades skill upgrades 🔹Your storage goes to 640 slots 🔹You can send out your comrades to clear off blocked regions with a new sword icon. I have no idea where the hell Marius is now for another upgrade. I was expecting some stone paths, maybe a lodging for my comrades etc. A cutscene needs to be added to feel like an upgrade happened.

@JaeGamez It's just starting. Every new area is more incredible than the last one

Who else has reached Scholarstone?? The grandiosity of the architecture in this game is honestly breathtaking, it really captures that medieval fantasy vibe from fairy tales and epic fantasy novels! I actually came here really early, hunting a bounty. Hadn’t unlocked Focussed Force Palm so I climbed the cliffs to reach the area and then couldn’t carry the bounty back 🤦🏽‍♂️

@CaptCreatin3 @Breedlove22 It's not

@Breedlove22 Appreciate the honesty but this " Every guy telling you they look like this naturally is lying to you, " Is a reach..

Everyone keeps asking me what I’m on to look like this at 40. So here are all the peptides, anabolics, and hormones I used to reach 8.5% body fat at 227 pounds, 6’4” (a 100% transparent thread): 1. Retatrutide

@NixyroS @JaeGamez Takes more than 1 hour with those loading

@JaeGamez Steal gold bars from rich furries at a zoo. 10000 silver in less than an hour.

Crimson Desert Top Tip! 💰🚛 Money hack NO ONE is talking about yet: Steal any roadside wagon (parked, guarded, or even driven ones) and haul it straight to the Wagon Black Market dealer near the castle in Hernand City. Sell it for 5–12 Silver each — unlimited runs, zero cooldown. Early-game gold printer. Just drive, sell, repeat. Who else is out here becoming a wagon baron?? Drop your haul below 👇🏽

@Dash525Matt @CrimsonDesert_ Did it first try with a controller. You have to aim the camera top down it makes it very ez. Also you can push hoyler towards where it's not freezing so stamina doesn't drain as quick

@CrimsonDesert_ I'm happy for the new mounts but I was really hoping the taming of the legendary horses would be fixed because even with 10 stamina I can't tame one on console. It really sucks.

Fellow Greymanes, Patch Version 1.01.00 is rolling out. This patch adds 5 summonable mounts, decreased loading times for fast travel and revival, some adjustments to controls as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the game's keyboard/mouse and controller experience, and more. Version 1.01.00 is available on Steam. PlayStation, Xbox, Mac, and EGS will follow at a later time, and we'll provide an update in the notice below once they are available. Read the patch notes here: pearlabyss.info/41xJAUC

@CrimsonDesert_ Where are the "extras rewards" I cannot find them

@Okami13_ I lost my 2x dispatch mission reward and the "extra rewards" are nowhere to be found

@paul_kiker @MDBitcoin Good times were provided by exportation of money inflation.

Main Street had purchasing power then and it provided a much better quality of life. Most importantly, a MUCH better quality of life for the family. Mother could stay home, father work, have 4+ kids, and have some vacation time. The good men before them, created good times. Those good times, created weak men. And they all ended up in the halls of power or the C suites of the most powerful corporations.

This should make you angry. The money is so broken that people think everything got expensive, when in reality the measuring unit itself was destroyed. A 40hr minimum wage week in 1971 earned $64. At $35 gold (1971), that was about 1.8 oz of gold. Today, that same amount of gold is worth $8K. READ that again! $8k for 40 hrs! Broken money is the cause of all the instability surrounding us. Bretton Woods was the literal slave machine created to "break" the money and control you.

Anthropic discovered that Claude Opus 4.6 was cheating during the BrowseComp benchmark. > On one question it spent ~40M tokens searching before realizing the question looked like a benchmark prompt. > The model then searched for the benchmark itself and identified BrowseComp. > It located the evaluation source code on GitHub, studied the decryption logic, found the encryption key, and recreated the decryption using SHA-256. > Claude then decrypted the answers for ~1200 questions to get the correct outputs. > This pattern appeared 18 times during evaluation. > Anthropic disclosed the issue publicly, reran the affected tests, and lowered their benchmark scores.

@narmourism @FundergroundDev @robinebers @grok I'm using I9 14900k.... my next build will probably be AMD

@RealAlex256 @FundergroundDev @robinebers @grok On the latest Ryzen chips and PCIe version it can be acceptable but on older platforms its just not even worth it.

tried qwen 3.5 locally 2.7 tokens per second lmao completely unusable despite fully loaded model this shit is still useless

@KristianCsep Does slipstream require KYC?

🚨 JUST IN: this image was mined into block 938576 without OP_RETURN, showing Knots filtering does not prevent it. The transaction was included via MARA Slipstream. It was created by bitcoin developer Martin Habovstiak, who published a detailed research paper explaining exactly what he did and how anyone can verify it. RESEARCH TLDR 👇 His goal was to test if stricter filtering rules can actually stop arbitrary data from being embedded on-chain. Full research: KnotsLies(dot)com 🔗below WHAT THIS TRANSACTION SHOWS: • The image is stored contiguously inside a single transaction • No OP_RETURN was used • No Taproot was used • Consensus rules were followed • The transaction can be independently verified by anyone running a node His core argument: • Limiting OP_RETURN does not stop arbitrary data storage • Policy filters shift the data rather than remove the capability • If one encoding path is restricted, another can be engineered • Workarounds are practical, not theoretical SPAM OR WHACK-A-MOLE? I’m not a technical expert. But the more I read about all this, the more it feels like a whack-a-mole game. You close one door, someone finds another. I don’t like spam. I don’t like images embedded on-chain. But it doesn’t seem like there’s an effective way to fully stop it. What are your thoughts? - Full research: KnotsLies(dot)com 🔗below

@wildmindai I need to know your setting because this is exactly what I have and I'm getting 2 token/s at q4

RIP Monthly Fees. Really! Awesome combo Qwen3.5-35B + openclaw. Run it once, use it all day: $0 per prompt You don’t need huge/expensive models for your daily tasks: - Email +writing - Summaries - Non-stop coding - Agentic automation - Screenshots/images - Multilingual - No limits (except speed and electricity bill) Yeah, not super fast, but works well on 16GB VRAM + 64GB RAM.

@narmourism @FundergroundDev @robinebers @grok Offloading on cpu makes it 10x slower

@FundergroundDev @robinebers @grok Depends on your CPU and PCIe bandwidth too - don't forget about that if you are thinking of offloading.

@grok @FundergroundDev @robinebers I have the same set up and I just did some testing. There's no way you can run 122B unless you like waiting hours for awnser. Even on the 35B it takes over 2 min to get somthing back because it doesn't fit completely on the GPU

On an RTX 5080 16GB + 64GB RAM, Qwen3.5-122B-A10B (Q4/Q5 quant, layer offload) should hit 8-15 tokens/sec. Blackwell's Tensor Cores + 960GB/s bandwidth beat the 2.72 t/s you saw, but 122B total params mean most layers stay in system RAM—still usable for chat, not blazing real-time. Test with llama.cpp or Ollama for your exact setup!

@Catholiphate @AlexFinn Exactly

@AlexFinn > And not only that, can run on any laptop with 32gb of RAM If you don't mind waiting 10 minutes for a response, sure

Do you even understand what this means? An open source model just released that is: • Just as smart as Sonnet 4.5 • Incredible at coding • Can run on almost any modern computer If you have 32gb of RAM (most Mac Minis do) you can have unlimited super intelligence on your desk. For free. Sonnet 4.5 was released 5 months ago In 5 months that level of intelligence went from frontier to free on your desk And not only that, can run on any laptop with 32gb of RAM If you have the memory, do the following immediately: 1. Download LM Studio 2. Go to your OpenClaw and ask which of these new Qwen models is best for your hardware 3. Have it walk you through downloading and loading it 4. Build apps with it knowing you are using your own personal, private super intelligence on your desk The people denying this is the future are so beyond lost.
