With all the loot pinatas and the anniversary tower, is there really a carrot to keep people playing on Teek? I can't comment on breaking truebox, but I used multiplicity to great effect to 2box on truebox TLP.

GW2 definitely needs a much stronger skip option. There's a bunch of quests I wanted to enjoy but just didn't want to wait through all the dialog for.

Yeah. I've been zerging shit for decades and you're always going to have advantages having an overstuffed roster. Aside from DPS stacking, you can funnel your highest levels into a crew, eschew boxes and replace attrition more easily. Conversely, the loot is distributed more sparsely in OW...

Whenever I have these discussions about current capabilities of LLMs I find it clarifying to try it and post the results. Somehow I can't bring myself to try to get GPT to sext me.

The cut at the moment of ignition was funny. For a brief, split second I thought it blew up catastrophically on the launch pad.

Looks like jmal9000 was banned, oh well. We talked a bit ago about generating standup with GPT. I got access to GPT 4o and gave it a shot of a throwaway joke I heard from Chapelle once. Please write a script for a stand-up comedy bit. The script should express that the comedian is mad at the...

AI is a bubble industry because my hooker line was better than what it came up with. You Please generate a list of 10 claims a company could make about their product using AI that don't make sense. The company's product should not be improved by AI, despite their claims. ChatGPT "Our...

Yeah. There's hookers out there that claim to use AI to find better ways to suck cock. Actually, beyond the crude joke, the lowly-paid "chatters" that support popular OnlyFans girls are almost certainly making use of LLMs to blast out text to simps.

Other than buying bluechip stocks like MSFT and NVDA I'm not sure how one would invest in AI. Will be a ton of AI startups that crash and burn for sure while others get sucked up by megacorps like MSFT. Is anyone here investing in IPOs for AI companies or other smaller companies?

Gotta start with what you have and work your way up. Any victory is better than no victory and Teek will be better off if it has consistent OW contention instead of one guild dominating OW, getting huge and just running splits. Keep the victory laps coming!

I guess I barely noticed. Comic books always draw dudes being ridiculous muscular.

How was Magneto turned into gay man's jerkbait?

I'm thinking about upgrading from my old ass PC from 2019 with a 9th generation i7 and a GTX1080 Ti to something like https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Photonman1/saved/PMvh99 Debating between 4070 Ti, 4070 Ti Super and 4080 Super. Thoughts?

When EoD came out, after seeing my all-time favorite classes in any MMO, the Weaver become less and less effective while still being challenging to play, I chose to switch to the FOTM OP braindead profession, the Mechanist. I then auto-attacked my way to the last quest in EoD, then promptly...

Watched this, enjoyed it. The pace is so fast in these episodes and if you stop to consider anything it all kind of falls apart. I feel like they could've taken their time and had S1 climax at Genosha getting rekt with S2 climaxing at the meteor. Pretty much everything involving Jean Grey and...

I'd like to think that they will design around that and feature appropriate missions for each character with some level of player choice for most missions based on which character they choose (similar to say, the Hitman Series where to get the Silent Assassin ranking you need to leave no trace)...

I just like the krono.

Sell what?

June 6th earliest date for next Starship launch. Most likely date is 6/9 due to numerical significance.

I didn't even know a game came out after AC Valhalla. Just reading about it moving away from the RPG elements makes me more likely to play it, but no where near the threshold to actually play it. I don't really have hopes for AC Shadows, but if I did it would be to embrace stealth and not RPG.

Upgraded SE, which changes all kinds of things. Most notably it changes the vitamelange production to include a bajillion greenhouses. Here's what I came up with, produces about 300 vitalic reagent a minute. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53761032587_bf883ce82d_o.jpg

fuck that, anything worth doing well, and anything worth doing well is worth beating someone else at. Winning is winning no matter what it is.

Yeah. In an ideal world it'd create a larger space for open world fights and multiple guilds would be able to sustain competition. More than likely what @Rajaah said is correct and a single group would dominate either by sweating harder or zerging harder.

Speaking of a hardmode TLP, I'd be interested in a TLP with 2x slower instance timers and 4x faster openworld timers.

No. It's a work in progress though.

I'm in the $45 club very early on. No regrets.

Yeah I wouldn't want a lot of the things that made EQ feel hard. Most of that was ignorance and a casual mindset, which is impossible to recover. I'd want something different that provides a level of difficulty a few ticks higher than what we have in TLP, using existing systems. The other...

.

I don't disagree with any of your analysis, but claiming that approach would trivially produce reliable results for a novice investor would be disingenuous. The prices set by the market are done so largely by professional investors using the same and better information you have. Sure, it feels...

I'm on team SPY (or similar index funds) for basically the same reason. Being mostly insulated from the year to year movement in the stock market is just a clean lifestyle choice. I never argue that it's the correct choice from an investment perspective and it's arguable that even if someone...

Another challenging server is pretty much the only TLP I'd consider playing on. I get enough of facerolling EQ content on live. Vaniki was too extreme though. I don't want to fight possibly unkillable bosses with dumbass strategies. I would just want a TLP experience with some teeth. It's been...

I don't really disagree but it has an upside. Shitty trade systems like EQ TLP are one way EQ fosters a community in ways other MMOs don't. In GW2, BDO, or any number of games with really accessible trading systems any tradeable drop is easily reduced to a coin value with minimal opportunity...

Leveling sucks. I'd love to see a vaniki light approach that level caps at ~25ish and then increases the cap steadily with similar approaches for level cap expansions. Was extremely popular in WoW with season of discovery. The EQ mechanics kinda break down where a bunch of level 25s exploit...

History deniers on suicide watch

I have a task list for this. Here's my current set of tasks. I'll add to it while not playing Factorio, then loosely reference it as I play. I used to have warnings turned on for my trains so I could keep everything running, but turned all that off and primarily focus on one task at a time, then...
