@James32980438 "My youngest got accepted to med school" is a perfectly fine tragic backstory for an adventurer and I'm tired of people pretending otherwise.

One of the things that (imo) worked well for the first Neverwinter Nights is that your character is just some random dude looking for a payday, getting caught up in some serious shit, and just plowing through it like a bulldozer. It's basically the quintessential D&D game.

"oh they write evil with such depth" yes because there's no good in the universe they developed, everyone's explicitly evil or up to their balls in demon contracts. which makes it an *utterly shit* D&D game for that alone, never mind every other aspect of the game.

>When real estate agents started purchasing land for a planned 2000 acre artificial intelligence data center Huddleston and Bare initially agreed to sell a portion of their holdings. Yet the choice soon proved too difficult to bear. The entire essence of leftism is defection Destroying the underpinnings of society to get a slightly better deal now by retroactively changing various bargains Then they get to act surprised when people adapt to the new conditions "We didn't know people would stop making deals when we reserve the right to retroactively void them for better terms!"
Massimo@Rainmaker1973

A Kentucky family has filed a lawsuit to safeguard its ancestral farm from development for an artificial intelligence data center. A mother and her daughter are standing firm against selling their 200 year old family farm in Kentucky to data center developers. They are now battling the project through the courts. Ida Huddleston and her daughter Delsia Bare reside on a 1200 acre farm in Maysville that has belonged to their family for more than two centuries. To them the land represents far more than mere property. Generations have raised livestock cultivated crops constructed homes and laid loved ones to rest on this soil. Bare recalls spending her childhood riding horses along the fences while Huddleston has called the farm home since she was 17 years old. When real estate agents started purchasing land for a planned 2000 acre artificial intelligence data center Huddleston and Bare initially agreed to sell a portion of their holdings. Yet the choice soon proved too difficult to bear. I do not want to leave my home. I do not want to leave my flower beds Huddleston told her daughter. Bare acted swiftly to void the agreement and felt relieved when an attorney verified that the developers could not compel the sale. The family has since joined other local residents in a legal challenge against the project. The proposed data center would demand up to 2.2 gigawatts of electricity plus extensive new infrastructure for power water sewer roads and fiber optics. Backers argue that the unnamed Fortune 100 company would fund these improvements and generate jobs along with increased tax revenue for the region. Opponents however worry that the development could overburden local water and power resources convert productive farmland into industrial zones and fundamentally alter the rural character of the community. Some neighboring residents have already faced displacement. Twenty eight people in a mobile home park received 90 day eviction notices after sections of the land were purchased for the project. An initial lawsuit was dismissed but the family and other members of the group We Are Mason County submitted a new complaint in June. The development continues to advance and a court approved rezoning in May. Huddleston and Bare remain resolute in their decision not to leave. Money means nothing if you lack food water and the ability to breathe Huddleston stated. And they are not making any more land.

Merchant interactions in CRPGs have a well-polished template: you play a sound cue like "Khajiit has wares if you have coin," and you bring up the fucking trade interface. Replacing that with a micro-scene isn't fun, doesn't add to gameplay, but it's very Premium Mediocre.

The chart remains undefeated. Gemini is fantastic for people like me who somehow occupy both sides of the bell curve simultaneously. I recently used Gemini to find a new CPU cooler for my old and weird case. Got it done in 5 minutes (and like 3 prompts) instead of hours. "Gemini look up the dimensions of this case, I need a CPU cooler." "List every high performance Socket AM4 SKU that fits within those dimensions" "Give me the reviews for the SKUs and in-stock links"

@11975MHz @WelsonWarlock "Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is a highly invasive tree in Michigan that spreads aggressively. Never cut it down without using herbicide first. Cutting triggers prolific root suckering, causing dozens of new trees to sprout." bitch, excuse me??

This is the single most dangerous tool I own. The disc safety guard removed for emphasis. Even with the safety guard on, I always stop for about 10 seconds before I ever turn this thing on and remind myself that this thing can cut through my entire arm in microseconds. I always stop all movement when shutting this thing off and wait for the blade to stop turning. I never take my eyes off the blade until then. All it takes is a single second of negligence for this thing to permanently maim you or worse. But when it comes dealing with the notoriously difficult "Tree of Heaven", which is an invasive tree from China that every state now suffers from, accept no substitutes. This thing will humble any chainsaw when it comes to sheer cutting power. And this thing will humble you if you stop respecting it for even a second.

@TW0HEADEDBEAST This is also why Sony is cancelling physical games. Putin starts the SMO -> UKRAINIAN ROBOT WAR -> Sony pivots from PS5 games to MLAs to fuel the robot war

@JoeLongBalls All it takes is one school librarian being rude to a sales rep or a school system deciding to shuffle a book to a different section and then it's "banned". Schools really need to be more combative with authors and publishers when they pull that stunt. x.com/AGHamilton29/s…

To recap what happened yesterday: One school district decided to move 3 books from the elementary section of a library to the middle school section. Almost every major national news outlet instead ran with a false story suggesting Florida was banning the books.

when it comes to the banned books discussion I believe there should be some standardized scale for how banned they are, for instance: low rank: banned from some middle school middle: barnes and nobel didn't stock it high: government intervention S Rank: The Necronomicon

Visual fidelity is maxed out in practical terms. 4K is the highest resolution the average American can see in their living room because they're not parking 8K TVs in their laps. On top of that, I doubt they're going to use new hardware to design new gameplay because they're already not using the hardware they have to design new gameplay.

@JNavok Visual fidelity is certainly reaching diminishing returns. But, what about things like haptic feedback controllers, ultra-fast SSD to create worlds without load screens? Or chips and memory to enable on-device AI models?

My bike was stolen out of my garage in Seattle a couple years ago so I went down to the nearest RV encampment, found it and took it back. Very eye opening to discuss this experience with a progressive friend of mine who said “I am ok with people like you’s bikes being stolen because we cannot provide affordable housing”

being a cyclist kinda sucks politically because your options are always Candidate A: loves bike infrastructure, but refuses to jail bike thieves Candidate B: wants to send bike thieves to the gulag, but hates cyclists anyway my bike was stolen last week, RIP

@CMDRSpiff @cirsova It's gonna be cheaper than dropping the money on an ethernet surge protector that will actually stop a lightning strike.

@KazeNoFantasia It was bad - add to that a projector, 2 Macs, refrigerator (mostly have fixed), several ethernet switches, and cable modem. Only thing I haven't replaced is my Xbox Series S, and that will still take a while. Wife woke me up at midnight yelling "there's lightning in the kitchen".
