    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    10 hours for me. Heko's tribulations I know well. When I moved back to this town from Reno, NV, there was 1 choice and that was 1.5 mbit dsl. I was moving to that from 25mbit cable that was rock solid. After several years they started rolling out wireless, so we crept up to 5, then 12, then...

    Ancient Civilizations

    I'm guessing it would have been one of the florida ports, but that was so long ago who knows? The sea currents and winds might have been totally different back then. The mining was done in minnesota I think?

    The phoenecians were crossing the atlantic and trading for copper the natives were mining. They spread the edge of the world / there be dragons stuff to keep the monopoly going.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I think if humans were to do von N probes they would be all mechanical with silicon thinkers. The vague rumours of the UFO stuff seems like they replace the thinking bits with biological smarts. Would that affect the overall strategy? Like for us, we'd build a fully automated factory capable...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Summer really sucks for TV reception. I ended up moving the antenna to the other side of the house and right on the edge to maybe avoid metal roof problems. I lost CBS entirely, but gained 3 PBS channels and some strange foxlike channel. TVHeadend is just super flaky. I've gotten good at...

    There used to be an video from a conference a few years back where a guy had gathered all events of old objects that could be roughly dated by geological layer. I posted about it here The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown But the video is removed. Most going back millions were...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Floods can cause huge elevation changes as the weight of new waters can cause whole plates to shift and tilt or snap in half etc. There are ancient remains of coastal plants found in high elevations in south america for instance.

    BG1 was some of the earliest realtime with pause combat, and I think that is what it is remembered for. Planescape was the very very best writer in the industry backed up by probably the second best with a huge pile of amazing source material to pick from. Big mysteries, awesome locations...

    Wow I called it :emoji_laughing: BTW, when I was talking about shooties being crap to watch, I was talking Valorant. I want to give CSGO a try. I wasn't sure there were still CSGO pro stuff going on, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was still a larger audience than overwatch league even...

    Wow! No there's some mild fitness enthusiasts, but 99% are fast fooding and swilling soda. Sado was famous for chugging 2 liters of coke during a match. Spark even have all their members cosplay as catgirls and stuff. How they get away with that in China I have no idea. I wanted to drop off...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    I had watched the second one. I think maybe someone here had pasted it somewhere. That's probably what led me to the crazy high voice guy. I like it! Way better than most of the garbage made nowadays.

    I just took the bing chatbot for a testdrive. Asked it to write a death metal song about mowing the grass: # Mow the Grass Verse 1: I wake up in the morning and I feel the rage I need to unleash my fury on the green landscape I grab my John Deere lawn mower and I start the engine It roars...

    I was kind of going for that meme of the middle aged guy mowing the grass drinking a white monster energy drink, but instead it is an elf with a beer. Some of them turned out ok.

    Antenna TV has been really dead the past few days. Apparently there's a big solar storm going on. Anyone else seeing this? I know it isn't my tuner, tested with the TV tuner. Isn't affecting my wireless inet that I can tell. Edit: Yea it must have been that. Everything just started...

    The youtube deal with overwatch forbade any co-streaming, and that was also a big pain point. Even their last year on twitch it was embarrassing that if you looked at the overwatch category, that XQC retard had more viewers than the league did in the overwatch category. They are allowing it...

    Took about 5 hours to reach the halfway point, assuming I'm reading the python correctly. Seems to want half a million training steps. I'm on 288k. I guess I should just be happy this is working at all on my crappy old 980. Training finished! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I have no idea where it...

    I don't really know much about esports or what the future holds. I watch all the overwatch related esport stuff I can because I find it interesting but I am not at all into other forms. I think the most popular is this shitty old RTS looking game whose name escapes me. Why anyone finds that...

    This fork is archived, but the training phase is working, though It has been running almost 2 hours. https://github.com/Lightning-Universe/musiclm-pytorch-fabric I had to kill everything and turn off the compositor to get enough vram to train.

    I think that's a coach. That's Dallas after they won the grand finals last year. They lost their backline (the healers) to Atlanta who are now the top dogs. They also moved the whole operation to Korea this season so are playing in the shitty APAC region. They are kind of middle of the pack...

    I'll be watching to see how it affects the broadcast. There's a break this week, thank the gods. I watched so much the past few weeks my eyes were bleeding. In addition to the regular games the eastern region has contenders teams in the mix, and those matches were on weekdays. I think it is...

    The indoor temp: TV is still good! The only remaining problem is any bit of slightly un-tv-like behavior results in the operator just sitting and staring at a blank screen for hours. Instead of... changing the channel? I can't really imagine getting it much more tv-like but the training has...

    Power adapter question

    I had a recent power thing where I think the old one was 4.2 and the new one was 5 amp, or maybe it was the other way around. Anyway, for me it was a set of creative 5.1 speakers from the dawn of time, so I wasn't going to be too upset if they exploded. Working fine though!
