    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Hmm so I set up kodi with a hd homerun and antenna for my mum a year or two ago on a libre le potato. It has been ok. I spent a ton of time getting discovery + to work so she could watch all the cooking and house stuff shows she likes, but then she just never used it. I cancelled it and she...

    I played all of those with friends. Shadows of undrentide had alot of multiplayer bugs, so we didn't enjoy it. The others were a decent time. I think the most fun we had was a premium module called Pirates of the sword coast I think? I think it was like 10 bucks. It did some gnarly stuff...

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    Well I got bored / tired of kubuntu and wanted to try something new. Arch users have always had this smug sense of superiority about them, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The install script crashed and none of the partitioning stuff would "stick". You'd change it and it would...

    Yea it has been years but I remember all the action being around level 1 and 2 spells. It's not like the crazy fights in bg2 with mages stopping time and blasting everything into dust. It is rough if you don't have initiative though.

    This is a really neat video on collision detection of convex shapes. I've always used geometric solutions, but definitely going to try this for capsule/sphere/box in motion.

    I didn't even know they made exodus on snes! I've always wanted to try some coding on the ps3. All those little simd cores to play around with. I got mine out over the weekend and experimented but the firmware on it is just too new to do much with. I could write some code and get it on there...

    It worked both ways yea. It made all the defensive wizard spells worthwhile though. Like my wizards in bg/iwd never bothered with blur or protection from normal missiles etc. In this game, that was your first cast. The radius spells were great in that game too, like you could see the radius...

    The arena style everyone stands in a certain spot and jumps forward to attack thing just seemed lazy. Like they couldn't figure out how to pathfind so just had everyone stand still. Then there was the unskippable little post fight sequences, the killing blow gets all the xp so your characters...

    The main thing I really loved about elemental evil was you could have your archers opportunity attack enemy casters. That was a really cool addition. Makes archers feel useful.

    I had a strange experience with might and magic 9. I had played 6 and I think I skipped 7 and played a little of 8, but 9 I bought and played all the way through and had a great time. I remember it having really good pacing. I didn't even know that it was badly rated. A few years later I...

    The JRPG section was interesting. I've tried to get into them over the years and found them quite unplayable. It makes sense now that their main influences are previous games where western games are mostly influenced by D&D. Its kind of like AI's training off AI generated junk so eventually...

    Wolfram has a good video that explores the space of a model. It is mostly empty. I'll see if I can find it. Hmm I wonder if you could use a cubic run length encoding pass to squash empty regions? derp, I posted it a month ago in the image thread. Generative AI Space and the Mental Imagery...

    80s Sword and Sandel / Sorcery / Scandal - 80s fantasy guilty pleasure goodness

    I watched Time Bandits a few weeks ago because it was mentioned as an Ultima influence. Was pretty good! Has Jon Irenicus as the villain, and Bilbo Baggins was Napoleon.

    Someone noticed from the onboard that the Ferrari kid's head was flopping around near the end of the race :emoji_laughing: Impressive that he could keep it out of the wall with his noggin bashing his headrest in.

    No, instead of doing the combat math in a testbed or something, they just tied attacks to animation frames. The females had slower animations.

    It sounds to me like they are saying "no evidence of aliens", but none of the earlier talk was about aliens either. It was non human intelligence. I haven't read the report because I'm writing swept capsule -> quadtree collision stuff today, but I'm guessing it focuses on aliens because that...

    Not sure. I've kind of done all the characters I wanted to try. Keep hoping they will open up more race/class combos. Maybe if the ruleset is fun or wacky
