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.

Karlach is a golden retriever in the body of a giant devil woman. She was dealt the worst hand of any companion before the game starts and suffers throughout into a tragic ending. Despite that, she wags her tail any chance she gets and doesn't mind giving a male Tav the orgasm of a lifetime.

For players on a persistent multiplayer server, do pals work correctly after you log off, or do they still immediately spiral into starvation and depression?

I just checked my ass for made up statistics. People who romanced Karlach are 320% more likely to be in healthy relationships than people who romance any other character.

I wonder if I should wait for the next release which might be out in a couple months. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/asus-adds-amd-ryzen-zen-5-granite-ridge-cpu-support-for-its-x670e-motherboards#:~:text=According%20to%20other%20leakers%2C%20the,%2Dcore%20105%2Dwatt%20CPU.

I'm thinking about getting a new PC and am intrigued by https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d.html , anyone have a compelling reason not to go that route for a PC intended for gaming?

article: https://www.axios.com/2024/04/02/dei-backlash-diversity Not to derail this thread but I think a big part of the DEI push was a political side effect of the BLM movement and other related movements that were invested in heavily (and successfully) for the 2020 election. That investment...

Why would you ever think this? A <$1000 home theatre is getting better every year and won't stop. This shitty 85" TV is $900 https://www.amazon.com/TCL-2023-Model-Accelerator-Streaming-Television/dp/B0C1J3CGLV That plus a cheap speaker system, a couch from the side of the road and a six pack...

2.99 feels right because the value of movie experience is declining every year along with ticket sales while AMC is holding onto tons of theatres they can't fill. They're probably losing too much money and have too much inertia to adapt to 2023+ market conditions and other more agile theatres...

Kinda weird to hear the narrative designer say that high level narrative building is vomit inducing. Glad to hear they switched to UE5 a year ago. Wayyyy better than hearing they're making the switch now or plan to in the future. Super hyped for this game. They should release it when it's...

Anyone who learns what is involved in leveling the artisan's prize and chooses to max it out deserves all the punishment they receive.

2 episodes in, love the show so far.

I finished system change / system universe book 1 and started reading Ripple. I enjoy it so far! I'm a bit tired of Travis Baldree though, I've listened to so many books (probably 20+?) he's narrated and his range for different voices just isn't that high. It's funny because I had a conversation...

Not sure if I missed it or my de-emojification settings held but I'm glad to have not noticed any april fools horseshit this year. Thanks amod for containing yourselves.
