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

    Thanks! I had looked at the mapping sites. Like most things our area isn't really covered well by the sites. I had a panic at first thinking none of our stations were broadcasting, but a second site had more information. I think we are in a bit of a valley so this whole thing might not work...

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

    So my mom has wasted money on tv for years, dodging back and forth between dish and direct. We live in a small town so that's all there is. Both are crooked as hell and slowly raise your bill, hoping you won't notice, until you get angry enough to switch to the other one. The minimum buyin...

    Weather

    I know we usually come here to complain (or I do) but this year we've had this fantastic spring. Nice and cool in the mornings, warm and rainy in the afternoons. Lovely weather the past 2 weeks or so. Normally we go from frozen to baking in the span of a day and never get any spring.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Fun fact, in the original days, Afterlife didn't use CH rotations until avatar of war, other than the Donals chain (that got the Donals nerfed) we used to kill Tormax in early velious.

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

    My worthless opinion: The ocean base being the ship they arrived in is unlikely. Assuming no clarketech ships need to be big to cross the gulf. Meters of hull at the front, and lots of power and propulsion, though the power requirements aren't as big as people think. Most of the formulae...

    I worked for an englishman for a few years, and picked up the tea habit. I have 2 or 3 cups of yorkshire a day with an electric kettle. I don't do milk though, heavy cream. You can even have it while fasting.

    Unreal Engine 4 (free!)

    That last paragraph is depressing but true. I wonder if this newish trend of releasing early and half-finished has driven the 2 dominant middleware towards being strong at that early prototyping stage, and no work gets put toward longterm large scale projects. I've had really poor luck with...

    I'm in the middle of watching quali 5. The TT+ coverage is better this year. They've had a few technical glitches, and the first day some audio problems, but it is great just to watch the bikes. Last year I complained because they were constantly cutting away to interview the crew chief's...

    Unreal Engine 4 (free!)

    Yea Empyrion has been around a very long time. I can't remember the date it went early access but I've been playing many years. For them, almost as soon as the first early access was out, the project barely moved. The build system they started with has changed little, and it is the most...

    Unreal Engine 4 (free!)

    Could be that for sure. Most development I've worked on, the greatest speed was towards the end of the project, but I've never done one of these early access / support for years things.

    Unreal Engine 4 (free!)

    I was thinking about engines this morning. Both Unreal and Unity are great at that initial get-something-running stage. Both have serious problems once maps and assets start getting larger. My top 3 fave games are unity unity unreal in Empyrion, Eco, Conan. All 3 sprang to life out of the...

    Rajaah's CRPG Blog

    It was a good time. At the end of every night whoever was running the server would save and then a big pvp brawl would break out. The BG era kensei / mage dual class would usually be the last one standing, but in nwn times it was usually the all strength halforc with a 2hander. I was always...

    I multid alot of NWN in ye olden tymes. This was before DLC was a big thing but they started doing premium modules at some point, and they did a few expansions. The tools were so good people were making great modules for free as well, but pirates of the sword coast was the best of the lot...

    I had fun this weekend. Did a solid 8 hours last night after the owl stuff was over. I couldn't remember a damn thing though from final. I'd remember having something on an alt in the bank and I'd switch and it wasn't there. Was remembering beta. Also has that chat problem "need more for...

    EQ: Classless.

    Give it a try! It is really fun. Eventually if you are a packrat like me though, you'll be crushed under the weight of carrying 1000 quest items. I found I was gaming an hour and then spending 3 hours in inventory goblinry.

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

    I've been digging into alot of that stuff as research for future games. Fascinating how gods evolved and shuffled around and switched spheres of influence. Yahweh sort of started as a thorlike then became some kind of dragon god, then was replaced by El, which sort of halfass merged with Baal...

    I was thinking I was high teens in level but I was only 8. I was remembering my beta characters. Game is slow paced but definitely not slow enough to play while watching the above stuff.

    Pixels are a big part of how everything works because of convolution. GPU number crunching has historically always been about texture mapping. Everything works in small square chunks to cache well etc. Even when I was fiddling with audio AI a few years back, audio was converted into mel...

    8 hours till this starts! I'm going to do this, but I'm going to be a crappy groupmate as there's so much stuff to watch right now (isle of man tt, f1, motoGP, owl). I'm doing a fast (3 - 5 days) so I need a good game to distract me.

    These turned out really nice. They have a strange tint to them, almost like they are from a 1950's magazine. I have no idea how all this happened as the prompt is similar to my usual elf maidens.

    Not really music, but I think this channel uses an AI voice and it is pretty good https://www.youtube.com/@agrippasdiary/videos It sounds better than those celebrity voice AIs that were running around on twitch awhile back.

    The book house of suns is like that. There's a high speed chase and they get so close to light that every second of shiptime is days of planet time. I think the chase took 20 thousand years.

    Finally got around to trying that blender mocap thing. Just immediately segfaults blender. Logs are empty, no python traceback, nothing. Spent an hour trying various stuff people mentioned in the github issues but no luck.
