    You guys ever drink powerade?

    Thread reminded me to buy a new salt thing. I got stomach cramps when running a bit ago so I started using some electrolye powder my wife bought and didn't like. I put a serving with 6oz of water and choke it down before a run. idk if it helps but I haven't had cramps since. I'm trying this...

    Just got this: VisionMaster Pro 2 & Pro 4K RGB Triple Laser Projector | Valerion am pretty happy with it so far. I primarily use it to project a movie on the ceiling above my bed. Going to need to build a contraption in a headboard to hold it.

    If i can understand what is going on without having to consult a multi hundred list of characters, then the book isn't good enough for me to read. https://defiance-of-the-fall.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Characters

    What is engaging about AI art is scenes like this one where I've really never seen anything like it in terms of the style of the helmet or the surrounding framing. Maybe there's an artist or even art style I don't know of who generated images very similar to this, but I frequently see artwork so...

    Yeah AI does perspective really well, it's fascinating how it's able to handle it so well from a 2D image, which would mean it can understand depth from a 2D image at least frame to frame.

    LITRPG is a genre where I don't mind quitting a series at all because once the MC has progressed to a certain point the game has been beaten. In an alternate universe there is a small but bitter fanbase mad at the author for releasing the 31st book named Laurion's Song that they find...

    Was Episode 1 a great movie? No. But at this point literally all I want from the Star Wars franchise is more lightsaber fights like Because I really just want a true successor to Jedi Knight and Pod Racer !

    Halfway through Defiance of the Fall 15. It's still my favorite series right now. There's something about a book that makes you really work to earn understanding it. The way it bounces from actual scenes that move the story forward to epiphany stories that you don't know aren't happening to the...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    GTA6 also "suffers" from having a limited window of creativity. For the most part, GTA6 can only reproduce a google streetview of Miami. CyberPunk 2077 and really, most games, can take a creative flair and increase the drama of the scene.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Resolution and framerates are setting a tough pace to match. And higher resolutions are becoming more important every year for gamers with TV and monitor sizes getting bigger. VR is the toughest market, where stability is so essential. This monstrosity (or one with a similar size) would be...

    It's funny that ChatGPT still loves putting emdashes -- everywhere. Where did that love for emdashes come from? Nobody uses it, the training data can't have it unless they've overvalued some repository.

    I think it's more accurate to say you get 90% of the stuff you care about with royalty/biotech. It's mostly the new events, items and progression that matters. Stuff like the world gen is kinda meh.

    Yeah I wonder what the odds that they will rezone or change the noise regulations. I also wouldn't be surprised if the residential area got rezoned or something and these people were too obstinate to take the buyout to move. I also wonder what they'd need to do to block the sound significantly...

    I never used one but I know my mega colony basically ended up being an infinite cycle of colonists making, using and upgrading armor. I can't remember if I used a mod to make them automatically upgrade armor or not. But if there was a decent repair armor mod I'd use it if I played again.

    I just did the mid-flight mini-quest to quell the unrest in the lower parts of the ship. In most RPGs with these types with three options of "retarded lenient" vs "retarded strict" vs "sensible middle ground" the sensible middle ground is the obvious choice and always yields the best rewards...

    Best thing to do is not increase your number of colonists too quickly (your colonist count relative to your base and tech level are great) and not worry about the wealth mechanic. The only time it's worth worrying about is when you're playing on super hard mode or a difficult starting condition...

    Yeah I wish they had a gameplay mode where raid sizes were based on calendar time rather than colony wealth. I would still recommend colony wealth for new players but calendar driven raid sizes would increase replayability.

    Haha I try not to look at people's final bases when learning a new game like this. It's demotivating and it's more fun to learn good base design from your own experiences than to observe it in other bases. There are a lot of details that go into base design, and a good player like yourself will...
