    I haven't played Diablo4 but isn't Diablo much, much more challenging than grinding mobs down as a war/rog/shm?

    The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026)

    I've been saying it for years. They need to erase 7/8/9 ASAP. Star Wars fans simply can't become interested in anything after episode 6 beyond using it as a popcorn flick. That being said, the team that produced Mando Season 3 is incapable of shepherding the Star Wars franchise into a better...

    I didn't play THJ so forgive my ignorance, but why were those your options? It sounds like THJ is just a power fantasy where you can do whatever and still win. Why couldn't you just venture into random zones for your level and kill everything? That's how I leveled a new group on live a month...

    Yep. Part of it is also what kind of neighborhood you want to live in. I've currently got young kids and chose to live in a neighborhood where houses are packed together with families who also have young kids. The closer everyone is to each other the more disruptive commonly banned situations...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Something I think about sometimes is that it's very possible the technical people that smugly refuse to use AI today will grudgingly use it in the future and be more generally productive than people who signed up to pioneer AI slop.

    Not to derail this thread with HOA stuff, but this is the right attitude to take if you don't want to be governed by HOAs. Too many people choose to live in a clean and tidy dense suburban neighborhood that's governed by an HOA but then balk at the specific rules they don't like. If you don't...

    That's interesting. I don't know how common it is but in my small city you don't need a permit to cut down a tree on your own property.

    If I saw that video a few years ago I wouldn't think it was fake (Like, paid actors) or CGI. Even now the biggest problem is oddly the voice which has the 2026 era AI synthesized voice, which has a pretty huge industry trying to improve while having a bajillion hours of highly labeled data to...
