It's funny how many tv shows and movies I won't bother considering, regardless of reviews, unless people here say it's good. I didn't watch the first movie and the sequel is one of those movies.

I use pre-Luclin models for everything, which means I can't tell any level of prestige from armor since everyone has long ago dyed what they want. Like Rajaah said ornamentations killed any prestige from weapons because even if you loot a mega weapon from a raid expansion and chose not to put an...

Hello fellow late 30 year olds and 40 year olds. I see father time is also fucking you over. I've been curious about this topic for a bit but haven't thoroughly researched it yet. Like most of you I want to create a good checklist of de-aging. Recently I've been: Eating whole foods I create...

I'm guessing there's server congestion that isn't alleviated by picks, which is why they introduce queues, but I'm also kinda curious what would happen if they didn't have queues and what could be done to alleviate that type of congestion.

At some level the best thing for "EverQuest" is if DPG goes down and the EQ IP is abandoned or becomes totally different. Doing something to open source DBG's version of EQ and collaborate with the EQ emu communities would produce much better than the skeleton crew being paid wage slaves is...

I always thought that was an underutilized feature. It'd be interesting if they tried giving players an option to have a specific color (ex: Orange) if they got all the achievements for a given expansion (including Vanquisher), maxed out the evolving item for an expansion, etc. There's not...

Curious George? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curious_George_(book)

Good luck on the circuits for transmitting stuff. It's pretty rewarding to get it all to work. I think the way I did it is dumb but I don't want to redo it all. For randomization I don't know. I think you're guaranteed to have: The same nauvis orbit busted ass station The crashed ship (rush it...

Most posts in the political forum are made by a small group of degenerates on welfare who try to outvirtue each other all day.

Comparing two specific things isn't bad. These are perfectly serviceable jokes if used as part of a larger bit as a callback. Write a list of Mitch Hedburg one liners comparing simulation theory with donuts. The one liner should make a unique observation that's mostly false but has a nugget of...

Write a list of Mitch Hedburg one liners about simulation theory. The one liner should make a unique observation in a humorous way that is only partially true. I kept asking for more, they all produced the same kind of generic comedic observations that aren't the crazy stuff Hedburg would...

In terms of a comedic writer utilizing an LLM, if you're a person of moderate comedic talent and are tasked with coming up with a list of 5 Hedburg lines about food. How quickly could you come up with them independently vs having an LLM generate hundreds that you parse to get it? Also here's a...

Just for fun. These passages are understandable, so they kind of missed the mark. If I can understand them without having to pretend it's not chaos, it's not authentic. Write a story from a POV of Pacman from Pacman. Please include technical details of what Pacman has in Pacman into the story...

I can definitely see LLMs blowing the fuck out of the comedic writing scene. So much of comedy is association based, which an LLM might be *really* good at. I can definitely see a future where writers spend a good deal of their time panning for gold with an LLM.

Much like doing midjourney prompts with different artists, doing the same writing prompts with different authors is interesting. I can imagine a professor getting in deep shit doing that in some undergrad English class by having students read some passages from ~10 authors, read a generated...

Tormax being Teek with FTE + open boxing would be the exact kind of easy win that DPG would ignore.

I think a key factor is not just describing what the story should consist of, but the prose the story or different segments are written in. Without multiple and different prompts that are later combined the story comes out soulless. One way to "cheat" with writing prompts is to use famous...

I'm glad it's not on Teek, but I'm a little disappointed it's not on Tormax (along with making Tormax more desirable like relaxing the boxing rules). I'd want to see what FTE would do in a more contested environment, which Oakwynd was not. I think it'd be interesting if they AB tested a more...

Yep. Learning how to use the rail signals and chain signals to make your network unstoppable is a lot of fun, but not easy.

I use LTN instead of CyberSyn but I regular have lockups in my network and everytime I do it's because of an error in my network that, when corrected, should make the same problem theoretically impossible, though intense congestion can cause lockups. It's pretty satisfying that it almost never...

I love how SE has me looking up scientific terms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

I did core mining on all of my outpost bases and on Nauvis, with one exception. My cryonite rod outpost was one of my first and I didn't dive into outpost core mining yet. It's easily my least hassle outpost, happily consuming the cryonite patches I have set up while ensuring delivery of...

Since I learned that you can actually build around the star, I moved my beam emitters and solar farms to orbit the star, creating something of a dyson.... patch. I've now got 6 beam emitters with 20 injectors each. I just finished clearing another moon, this one has 67% threat which made the...

Just scrounge up whatever power you need however you can. I built tons of solar panels but nuclear is fine too if you prefer and have a good source of uranium. Once you get space elevators, solar in space is A+++ since you can transmit it down to the surface. I'm probably going to build a space...

Scaling up is kind of a mistake I've made a ton. A key thing Space Exploration drives into you, especially during the space science stage, is that it's better to have a small amount of production and bounce between all the different things you need to do. I find myself finishing a new science...

Finished my biology science. Trying to figure out how to make and host decent images, work in progress. Bio science is the hardest of the four sciences in terms of internal logistic complexity, easiest in terms of external logistic complexity and hardest in terms of value of input since it...

Anyone doing a playthrough for the DLC with some try hard rules like no spirit summons, jewelry etc? Anyone play the game before like that?

I read a lot of... less than stellar fiction. One way writing can be mediocre is each character not having a unique voice with their own lexicon, way of speaking, etc. Shit this is true even in great writing. The Count of Monte Cristo suffers from this where even the most modest of characters...

The number of easy wins DPG passes up every year is astounding. If they ignore an unpopular server that would be popular with some small rule changes, it'd be very inline with previous actions.

Finished my first space science, energy. I have one of these double-blocks for each of the space sciences. Each quadrant produces one of the sciences and they meet in the middle. I'm not sure if this is a great design. The amount of different ingredients is staggering and my approach was to...

Back from vacation. Just automated spaceships for the first time. It's something I've been looking forward to doing for a looooong time and it was just as goofy and satisfying as I thought it'd be. The below spaceships are pretty dumb and unoptimized. The circuits largely follow this guide...

The details around this are pretty funny. Factorio's optimizations are ridiculous and they are bottlenecked by the size of the CPU cache, even to the point where the CPU is often idle because it's waiting for memory to be loaded into the cache. The 7800X3D has a monster CPU cache so if it can...

A kunark start is something new, but I was hoping for them to try something else too. I still think doubling the spawn rate in most earlyish zones would be fun.

Ah, yeah they might all be in The Classics 97.3 I'll have to double check what I recovered.

That reminds me, I recently recovered a hard drive that had all the old threads I scraped in the last days of fohguild.org. I don't know if @Lightning Lord Rule ever got those from somewhere else when I distributed them before or if anyone even wants them now.
