Can't remember if the drama around this guy was posted here or the Gamergate thread, but whatever. Didn't expect such a long sentence. Still, I fully expect the US government to try and strong arm the Japanese to release him early, maybe in exchange for some Yakuza members they might have here...

This is incredible. Remember it was just a couple of years ago that AI generated pictures were these eiery dream scape like things, then they go pretty good except for hands, and now this. My friends who work in programming and software development have also told me there are huge improvements...

So about a month ago my elderly Mother managed to get herself a compressed vertebrae fracture in her lumbar region. She ended up in hospital, but is back home now but has a walker. However, she still is in great pain and needs help with almost everything. She's been told that a whole range of...

It's as old as time (well, online gaming). Back in old school Wow (pre-cata) when it took a long time to level up, the WoW Gold sites also offered leveling up services. You had to hand over your login details, which always boggled my mind as to trust, but whatever. But yes, it's just like...

Reminds me of that old joke people would play back in Vanilla that you put in Guild Chat and went something like this: "Three people are in a car: /gquit, /gmove and /gstay. /gmove and /gstay get out of the car. Who's left?" And then you'd see who was an idiot or not.

I have a pet theory that it's because all of these folks who were 20 somethings in the 70s were the last generation to get a real classical education as young people, before the 60s hippies started showing up in schools as teachers and parents and demanding changes. Roger Waters shits all over...

She mispronounced his name after he gifted 250 subs.

Once I would have agreed with you, but now I'd be willing to bet that if some George Floyed type went and assassinated the Japanese Emperor the US government would go out of it's way to call "racism" and to try and get him freed.

We wuz Quendi n sheeit!

God that song is crazy good. I remember how it blew my mind the first time I heard it. I rushed out and bought the album right away, and was then blown away again by the story it tells basically from start to finish. I have for decades now jokingly said that Rock attained perfection in 1976 (the...

Not much I can really add to here. Most of the music I loved from the 90s I still mostly enjoy (though my tastes have changed). I'd say the only music I'd change the channel on if it came on the Radio now, vs having turned the dial up to 11 back in the day, is Nirvana. I can't really say why. I...

Almost a month since the last post til today's bump. Crazy! Once upon a time this thread would have had more daily updates than the Politics thread. How times have changed. I think the main problem here is that we can't go 20 years back in time. We are no longer college kids with plenty of...

I'm just amazed that this is still going.

It's a good first step in crafting, but I do wish they'd just let you learn all crafting professions on one character. At first I thought that was what they were aiming for when they were talking about how people just created multiple characters to get around this. I don't see that changing if...

How many fucking YouTube tabs does one person need on their browser?? Pic not related.

The AI:

OK, here is another take on the whole Unity installation thing. What if I have two computers and install a game on both PCs? Do the devs have to pay for both installs, even though I only bought the game once? Or what if I buy a new PC and install the game again? Or just keep deleting and...

OK, I'll give you that. We're pretty "normal" compared to tide-pod eating, dick-chopping, millennials. I was more thinking of the previous 1000 generations of human "normalcy". :emoji_sweat_smile:

I was on Usenet "forums" when I was 11 years old. Chatted to strangers on other BBS systems as a young teenager. Found Rotten.com early, and 4chan a year after it launched. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you lot, but I grew up a normal human being! Just kidding! If I were a normal...

Pretty sure that's more like to be meth than a "love surge". Vid not related, but pretty fucking interesting:

This thread made me think of how game development seems to have peaked or to have at best plateaued about 10-15 years ago depending on how you look at it. Look at how small teams of dedicated developers made some of the awesome games of the late 90s, early 2000s, and how sequels a few years...

There is a lot of strange things when it comes to studying the genetic history of the British Isles. Suffice to say, those who first roamed the lands after the retreat of the Ice Sheet no longer have any genetic legacy there, and, it seems that the population has been either entirely or mostly...

Someone needs to play a Barry White song over the mic while taking that test so we can see what his voice tests as.

I agree. The good old "five minute day" of old school D&D where you'd have a long rest after your mage had blown through all his spells fighting some trash mobs was a bit unrealistic. The key to a good game is the ability to allow the player to pace timed or limited resources with periods of...

I see that's a Harry Turtledove novel. He also wrote the World War series in which basically an advanced reptile race invades Earth with nukes and hydrogen fuelled tanks and shit during the height of WWII. The Allies and Axis have to unite to defeat them. I think he then wrote a followup story...

My personal Flood Theory is the Black Sea Deluge theory. Long story short, the Black Sea used to be much smaller than it was, and it was a fresh water lake. Basically the dark blue on the map. After a large earthquake in the Bosphorus some 7-8 thousand years ago fractured the rock holding back...

So what sort of character builds are you folks going with? Don't tell me you're all stealth snipers?

Bethesda being Bethesda:

"XL-Wing" lol... I can't wait what the modding community will do with this.

There's a "your mom" joke in here somewhere...

Hmmm... caved and bought it yesterday, the $70 version. Maybe I should refund it and just go back to playing Grim Dawn while watching people play it...

On my first playthrough I did the main quest once in a while until I got to the Falmor Embassy thing, but it was bugged out. I didn't even mind, there was so much else to do. I've only ever once done the entire main quest, and that was on a special "cheat" character I made that had god mode and...

A lot of people seem disappointed that this is just "Skyrim in Space", but on the flip side, another bunch of people are very happy that it is just "Skyrim in Space". Each to his own. Personally, I think Skyrim is one of the best games I've ever played, and modding is a huge part of that. But as...
