    what the hell was episode 1 of season 2. The only people who got viking'd are those I didn't want to get viking'd.

    I finished arc 3 of Mother of Learning. I really enjoyed it and the next arc is out on royalroad and will be out on audible in a few months. Started The Primal Hunter Series by Zogarth a few days ago. Am getting really into it. Please no spoilers!

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    The smarter these chatbots get the more introspective the questions of sapience, sentience, sagacious, being alive become. If we're really just a ball of survival instincts and sin with a thin veneer of higher-level thinking that concocts an illusion of intelligence, maybe these chatbots just...

    EQ TLP - Next Server Ideas

    Things that would interest me in a TLP: Harder content so everything isn't just faceroll. Vaniki had an interesting idea with this, would be nice to see some form of it refined. Something to reduce kronolords camping everything. I like the idea of everything being nodrop with corpses...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    NVIDIA, AMD, Intel etc should normalize having their own bidding shopping websites for when price hikes come up again. If they build that system now and auction off batches of stuff at around MSRP they can take advantage of it in the future.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I've never tried it for two sets of reasons: I think it would remove a lot of the fun I have personally playing the game and would make playing EQ too similar to work (I work as a programmer). I'm worried that I'd get banned and I wouldn't be able to be as public in how I play the game. I...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    If they release a playable Squadron 42 game with that kind of realized gameplay I'd play it this month and consider my $45 "investment" I made 20 years ago or whatever a smart choice.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Yes. It would've been easier I think. Here's the full breakdown. I also have some other notes on the SK here too: Tuco's Setup (Critique Welcome!) Mk. II This is the hardest achievements I've boxed live. Took me ~20 attempts over the last couple of weeks. This run was a botched job but a win is...

    Yeah the sk is working well. Still inferior to warrior in some respects, but I'll probably keep him for the next expansion.

    Factorio

    I did SE with Krastorio 2 and i think it's not tooo big of a difference because SE only gets hard in the space stage. I put this game down after getting to the space stage because it started to feel like software development in a game but am planning to come back in a month or so.

    Audio Books

    Yeah for future books I'd like to see what I can do to get more money to author's pockets. I wonder if i can find an android app that provides the same kind of reading experience audible has. I'd rather pirate an audiobook and venmo and author $15 than give it to audible for them to toss $3 to...

    The Witcher: Blood Origin

    I don't have one as it pertains to Henry Cavill other than than Man of Steel is my favorite live-action rendition of superman-tier fights. Two men who can fly duking it out in a foam and cardboard city.

    The Witcher: Blood Origin

    I don't really understand the comparison.

    The Witcher: Blood Origin

    I don't agree with this at all. Being a creative force behind a respectable show, bowing out and watching it go to shit is valuable in several ways. At a purely self interested level, it being terrible is better for Henry Cavill.

    The Witcher: Blood Origin

    Henry Cavill making this and leaving the series when it turns into deaf gay midgets kissing cements his credibility as an actor and showmaker.

    It's so bad. I've lived in a house with a comfy garage for over ten years and haven't had to deal with that problem but i still remember being a dumb teen driving to my job at McDonald's with my head out of the window so i could see.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I don't know finance but as a layman a plausible money laundering scheme looks like: 1. Investor donates $$$ to CIG by going through some "individual donator" pipeline such that they are reported as crowd sourced $$$. 2.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    No idea. I've been kinda looking for a programming problem I could feed it that is even close to relevant to anything I do. A big problem is that when programming you're not really sure what the desired input, design or output is and the implementation is driven by arcane or obscure systems...

    Warhammer 40k

    Inexplicable is right. She was the wrong casting choice, her writing was trash, her costume/makeup design was trash. I'm not a huge fan of Triss but it's like they wanted to take a Geralt fuck-witch and add some depth but had no idea what to do other than make her annoying and ugly.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Who wants to see a sloppy AF first kill of the hardest group content in the new expansion??? I never thought I'd be exploiting achievements by having a mage zone into an event, call of the hero the group to drop aggro and then gate out and do it 2x more times, but here we are!

    The petty bleating of a coattail riding sheep being ignored by the lion. Henry Cavil can do no wrong and will make this WH40k TV series the greatest scifi space opera since Battlestar Galactica. I don't even care what era or plotlines are used but the more that the astartes are kept as...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    It's really strong. I switched from war->sk and from melee DPS to mage. I'm also using the mage pets as tanks and having them generally attack mobs 1,2,3 on the ETW, so the SK only needs to really tank anything above that and can focus on using their 2H + DoTs. SKs have such good group mana...

    New EQ expansion today! I've revved up a new crew with SK, Brd, Sha and 3x mages ( Tuco's Setup (Critique Welcome!) Mk. II ). They cut their teeth on ToL like Broly on Vampa and are going to murder every sparkly owlbear in Night of Shadows.
