OK. Now on current rebirth... I have thought about it, the "end game" here is diamond accumulation. But it is put behind the same exponential curve of "credits cost you more the more credits/diamonds you have" which means it has a soft cap which end up feeling pretty hard. Essentially when I...

No worries, I let autocorrect and speech to text do a lot of lifting and that shit happen. I consider my typing and posting to be a "performance art". ;)

I did that a few times, then just started the "put things in the cart barcode up" and the one scanning stop went a lot faster. That system breaks down though if you have a lot of things in the cart to the point you have to stack stuff up. But also I got the Sam's plus thing and get free...

The thing at Sam's is good, but not perfect yet. It scans your basket, then correlates that to either a recent register or recent scan and go purchase for accuracy. It will still ping you for a check from a person if it sees things in your cart it can't identify, or aren't on your receipt...

This also ties into the fact that recently Walmart announced that they planned on meeting their growth goals for the next 5 years without a net increase in employee count due to leveraging AI, automation, etc....

I will say that depending on what you're looking for there's some very passable AI music out there. I have been listening to a thing called "NuvoLuxe" as my "background/wallpaper" music for a while since they do a lot of AI style stuff in genres I enjoy. (They have a multi volume set that's...

.,.. when you start thinking about stuff you really want to happen after you die. Or as I think I might have previously mentioned have some dark dressed mysterious woman show up at the viewing throw salt all over your corpse and coffin and scream "AND THIS TIME YOU'LL STAY DEAD" then leave...

Well I found the "Put a small bet on this and forget about it" stock on my list which is actually benefitting from this latest game of brinksmanship by China and the US. This is in my "fun and games gambling" side portfolio. I put around a car payment on it back when it was around $.60...

As mentioned my belief is that they're going to partner with hardware manufacturers (like with the Asus ROG Ally) and eventually that means one will essentially design a PC that just has an XBOX official "shell" on it and skin for Windows 11 that makes it feel like a dedicated gaming platform...

Watching how the GamePass nonsense is heading and all else with MS the wife decided she wanted "A good console with a lot of games that we don't have to be online or pay a sub for". To that end.... I dropped off our ancient Xbox 360 with a dude today to mod/unlock it and pimp it out. It will...

Yeah, the "black magic box" is called a Maestro box. I was suspect of it and if I really needed it, but seeing what it's delivering I'm definitely flipped on that opinion. This was the first year for this iteration of the Escape and they had the standard trims which we got one of, and the...

Yeah, I've already ordered a paintless dent pulling kit (the glue gun and puller style) and it looks pretty basic to do. That's one ding she has on her drivers door. As mentioned I have all the gear already to do cut, buff, and polish for any surface scratching. The more complicated part is...

@Hekotat If you find a good one let me know as well... This relates to this weeks decision on the part of @Mrs. Haus . The only actual new car I've ever purchased was the 2013 Ford Escape which is her daily driver. It's coming up on 13 years old now. I had fully accepted that it was time to...

What I'm wondering how is how Palantir isn't (visibly) on the chart. I can't imagine they don't also have a massive dutch rudder going on with the rest of the AI chip crowd.

better version....

I wasn't. I meant in the way the person behind that film really intended it to be a sharp and witty criticism of what they saw as "fascist statism" and it became a cult classic for "Bugs attacked us and we kicked bug ass, plus Doogie Howser is a freakin PSYCHIC!". Hell, the book was the first...

I haven't watched season 2, and honestly have no intention to at this point. But I wonder to what degree it might end up being James Gunn's version of Starship Troopers where we was angling to teach one message, but a lot of people just gravitate to "So THAT is all we have to do to have a utopia?"

I also had the one on the left forever, and have now upgraded to the one on the right. I have never in my personal historical experience known of ANYTHING good coming from "filling out a post treatment survey", as every time all it seems to be is the insurance company looking for a reason to...

I'm at the point where the only thing between me and this screen is that I don't mind having my assets in investments making greater than then 3% I'm paying on the small remaining amount on my mortgage. And every month or two I get that itchy trigger fingers that says "It would only take a...

Can Confirm. Dr. Su is serious business. AMD is a customer of my company, and I've had the pleasure of working with them. She's a formidable exec in a world of empty suits and grifters.

OK, so I didn't forget about all this, but I had a medical situation wholly divert me from any of my metalworking for a bit (see health issues thread if you're curious). OK, I was attempting "lost PLA" but in the end I was not able to "lose" the PLA before casting, so it was just melting and...

So how long before her "Investment update" is a subtle ad for her Lactation Fetish OF account?

I think this is somehow related...

Oh wait, I hadn't even noticed that he took out the one for getting to 500% on the 1% PI upgrades. heh My autism is slipping in my old age.

Yeah... now unlock all the skins ;) Your autism awaits!

I'm going to admit I still sometimes chuckle and shake my head over the fact that we call something that's pegged to fiat currency a "stable"coin. Now this one will be a Euro pegged stable coin run by.... the people who can mint more Euro at will.

Well... Bountiful 200 done finally So now to dilly dally until I have enough credits to feel it's worth the next rebirth. Currently clocking in at 20 sec per credit.

It's all a rinse and repeat cycle. I usually accumulate until credits = 50% diamonds, then rebirth. So for me that also means rebirth either tomorrow morning or Wednesday morning since tomorrow is kinda busy for me.

Missing variable detected.... How many diamonds do you have? That's the magic to make the long term grind more bearable ;)

AH OK, I thought you could rank up your mastery past the first level of it. On another note, I have started falling in love with ranking up the coil gun enough to turn on "damages terrain"....

A couple ideas... Chain fireballs - When a body explodes from Witch Doctor it generates a fireball (Damage at [RANKS] * 10%, cap at 100%, also only goes a limited distance (like 10% of a regular fireball:emoji_nose: Corpsplosion - Witch Dr Explosions increase in radius by [RANKS] * 4% (cap at 100, maybe...

I didn't think you had it in you to figure out 4-5 new skills. ;) The view from today : Going to push to 400 Dagger Damage, and after that it's probably bouncing between upping Earl's combat efficacy and just dumping into +1% , since my to next 2x value prop versus time for anything Skull...

I just tried doing that too, to advance my mastery on one I had done the first mastery on and I also couldn't find a way to set it to three. If you discover a way lemme know... About 26 hours of puttering in on it and still just past gate 2. Mostly I'm on the heavy gunner, and mostly...

I think the difference might be in linear cost increase versus parabolic curve cost increase. In a prefect world you'd math out the perfect linear cost increase rate to get "equilibrium". The check in now at ~74Sx/sec... Note the "next 2x" numbers. I think the question is at what point does...

OK. Check in now on a day old rebirth and currently at around 59Sx/sec. I am definitely seeing the credit cost curve hitting me now. I was clocking around 30 seconds a credit before this rebirth (~20k diamonds), now (~30k diamonds) it's 45 seconds. I think the question for @pwe at this...

OK. for those wondering... Arena 40820 - 3 pigs Arena 40825 - 1 Darkness That seems to be the consistent pattern for me now. And Earl is going to get to pound this wall until tomorrow morning when I cash in around 10k credits into diamonds and rebirth ;) One thing I am noticing on some...
