    There's just not enough houses, period. "Inflation" is a catch-all term. If you want the price of something to come down in any natural way, the only way to do so is to produce more of it. These interest rates are only high by comparison to recent times. Historically, they're actually low-mid.

    It's the lack of housing inventory/home sales. We 100% need a national initiative to build >10 million houses. The only way to fix our economy is more supply of housing. This country has become a retirement home for boomers who don't want any new construction.

    They talked about the virtual table top all the way back in 3rd edition. They even had the start of something that looked okay at one point. MTG Arena is a massive win though; proves that with the right team WotC can make a great digital product that really is F2P as long as you're an elder...

    Weird, maybe they should just pump out good digital and/or licensed products. For instance, I would love to see an X-Com clone but D&D. Once you built the first one, you could easily pump one out every 18 months.

    The plot is actually supposed to be that she recruits a whole bunch of other warriors from all the other worlds that have been shit on by the empire or whatever.

    I turn on HDR when there's a game that uses it. These QD-OLED displays have a high enough contrast ratio that you can get a full 0-255 brightness range without black crush even without maxing out the brightness even in HDR. You just have to calibrate it correctly. The new HDR calibration app...

    This is irrelevant. It still needs fresh data that comes from somewhere, and it still needs GPUs and terawatts.

    All this is saying is that AI models are all going to have to be retrained again and again and again until they get ones that are useful. Which means that GPU demand will remain extremely high if not continue to escalate. The transformer attention model has been proven to work, that the output...

    It's not lit on fire, because it's still going into the equity of the house. They will eventually sell that house and make money unless the entire real estate market tanks unbelievably hard.

    I'm just saying that as long as people continue to eat too much food at too high prices, those prices will not come back down. That is how economics works. Also how fat people logic works.

    Fuel prices around here are exactly where they were during the Bush administration, when most people were making half as much money as they do now, and huge swathes of people were out of work. 8 bucks an hour was a normal wage around here at the time.
