    Pharmakos' Chemo Ward, RIP

    After the nonsense in the Ukraine thread where @Lightning Lord Rule told @Araysar and myself to stop going back and forth, I remembered that we already had a thread for people to have pissing contests with me, so that other threads don't get derailed. I bumped it for visibility/reminder. I...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Maybe it's just because I dig Cheesy Bean and Rice burritos so much, but Taco Bell is still the ideal for me when it comes to cost effective fast food. 420 calories, 9g of protein, 6g of fiber, all for $1. Genuinely cheaper than grocery shopping. Days where I'm broke I'd rather go buy four...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    There's a limit... I forget which jobs aren't worth mastering, but the rule of thumb is -- master the ones with passive abilities, the ones with the 2/3 abilities you're going to equip to your Freelancers / Mimes, and then Monk / Thief / Summoner for the best stats.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    The fact that so many FFs need grinding/breaking like this to be enjoyable is part of why I don't like replaying most of them, tho. FF5 has the perfect difficulty curve, by the time you break that shit, you earned it.

    Pharmakos' Chemo Ward, RIP

    Pharmakos, in Greek religion, a human scapegoat used in certain state rituals. In Athens, for example, a man and a woman who were considered ugly were selected as scapegoats each year. At the festival of the Thargelia in May or June, they were feasted, led round the town, beaten with green...

    Pharmakos' Chemo Ward, RIP

    Lol forgot about this post. I was indeed on chemotherapy or other treatments from January 2016 to April 2020. Was started on palliative care and pulled out by a miracle after I did enough of my own research to prove that the ketogenic diet would starve a seminoma, since seminomas almost...

    Plus, why return to the moon before we develop the technology to do anything worthwhile up there. Much of the Apollo program may as well have been considered sight seeing trips.

    Same. Mayyyybe someday I'd get into physical tournament play, but I'd buy my 75 cards for that given tournament and that would be it. My days of going to FNM or set release drafts or etc are long over.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    If you don't know -- Freelancers and Mimes get all the passive abilities of the jobs they've mastered, and their stats are based on the highest stats of their jobs. So make sure to master Samurai and Ninja on everyone, for Shihiradori and Dual Wield. And mastering Monk, Thief, and Summoner will...

    5 is my favorite out of the first 6 as well, at this point. 6 blew me away more when i first played it since the story is so good. But it's not worth revisiting like 5 is -- 5's job system / progression is just so damn satisfying. And then you can get into stuff like the Four Job Fiesta /...

    Fair MTX Models in free to play games

    Final Fantasy Record Keeper was the ideal here. You could do literally all the content as a free to play player, despite how difficult the end game content was. Prices were pretty fair for pulling the gatcha, too, once they guaranteed at least one 5* relic per pull. Good sales every 3 months too.

    Chat GPT AI

    I just spammed through almost 100 of these, and every response was just giving information. I feel like if it was showing me other current responses, I would have seen some poetry or prose. Must just be random stuff from training data.

    Recently started Wellbutrin (bupropion) Any of you guys on it? Thoughts? My diagnosis is Bipolar 2 but 95% of the time I'm either stable or depressed, rarely am manic, and am rational enough of a person that mania doesn't really affect me in the stereotypical way. Trying Wellbutrin as my...

    I was a dork in high school. Lots of girls had crushes on me, I later found out, but I wasn't a "bad boy" by any means, so none of them were brave enough to make the first move. Wasn't until I made it to college and started turning into more of the bad boy type that those scenarios started...

    Yeah I get that. Usually when I hit that 25 prompts limit is when I'm in a straight up full immersion flow state, and it is definitely VERY jarring. Maybe mess around a bit doing an A/B comparison, trying the same prompt on both 3.5 and 4. 4 is superior in many ways but not all, the A/B...

    Every relationship I've been in where the woman was the one that approached me has gone pretty poorly, despite the perks being similar to what chuk is describing.

    Not sure what your situation is, but when I first developed my cancer, I ignored symptoms for 7 months before going to the doctor. And in that time it processed to stage 4. Go to the fucking doctor!

    Not to be a broken record about the superiority of GPT-4, but all these things you've mentioned are improved on GPT-4, like exponentially so. The only issue with GPT-4 is that it's so good, going back to GPT-3.5 is straight up painful.
