Mark Lawrence is doing a thing where he’s putting 4 authors vs ChatGPT 5. He did it a couple years ago with GPT4, but guess I missed it: https://mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/2025/08/so-is-ai-writing-any-good-part-2.html The actual stories are here a little ways down the page after some...

I’m betting we end up closer to $220. Everything we’ve looked at, new or old, seems to be between $180 - $228, just scrolling back through our Zillow list. So I was kind of taking a dart throw in between. It will really help having a floor plan nailed down. If it ends up being $220 it is still...

We spent today driving around looking at lots in a new area about 15 miles further west out of town from where we are now. Have been talking to a couple of builders also and are leaning more toward this route. The last few weeks of open houses have just been sad and uninspiring. This would also...

I need to copy my saved game script and reload I guess. Any risk to just refreshing and it not picking up my progress?

Super early announcement from Conversation Tree Press as this isn't scheduled to be released until 2027. Don't believe a pre-order date has been set yet either. I am not familiar with this title at all, but seems to have a good history. May be of interest to someone here. I'll probably bump...

I thought there was some noise about Antony Starr from The Boys playing Wesker. Was that just fanfic? I never clicked on anything or looked into it.

I’m interested to see if I like it in person. If not two people have already asked if I’m willing to sell, so it seems low’ish risk.

The second one looks good. Adds a little bit of character that the original rounded rectangles don’t have.

New jacket for this Fall / Winter. Won't be here until December but have been wanting one since the first two production runs but missed out.

Have you seen some of the stuff we've shelled out $5 for around here? hah. If I had seen it on Steam there's a high likelyhood that a low entry cost would have had me d/l it just to try. But that's easy for me to say from a consumer standpoint and doesn't take into account any of your time and...

The slow backwards move across the window in the first episode was like seeing a troll meme in action. It was hilariously cheesy and a little too on the nose.

The first episode was great. Just the first 15 minutes or whatever on the Maginot were enough to get me drawn in to everything. It has a certain amount of "noah hawley"-ness to it, but it isn't like you're rewatching Legion or being beaten over the head. Just solid so far. I honestly didn't...

Have you seen the Redhead step child yet?:p

There have been a few setbacks on the Kickstarter project but they provided an update, looks like they'll be shipped mid-November if things hold up. Feels like a huge gap between the last three and this three. Hope they have everything ironed out for future releases. I'd still really like to...

I like the concept and what you put together, it'd be cool to see a new iteration or whatever else you had/have in mind. These little idle shit games are crack for me b/c I don't have to pay attention. Hell, I've had The Tower idle game running in Bluestacks for a year and a half b/c really all...

Not sure, I’ve been pretty afk most of the day and not doing much / progressing since that last post. Still running and I RDP’d in to check my money, bought Master Wizard and went back to hanging out with friends at dinner. oh, here’s the answer on the comment thread below:

I'm at 26.2% afer 7H and 21M. So I'm not sure what moves the metric or if it is purely time based. With the icon of the one enemy I had originally assumed it was an incentive for killing or getting past a certain point, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Just went afk for an hour or so to...

Tried to get Grok to reverse engineer me a save script with infinite resources but it kept failing import lol. It parsed it just fine and pulled out all the relevant stats. I didn't give it any restrictions or suggestions for what to set levels to so it may have picked stuff out of bounds.

I had a random instagram thing today about some kids starting a concrete repair business and not knowing what they were doing. As usual I just skip the video and read the comments for people telling them what they should do. Most of the comments suggested using: Concrete Crack Repair These...

I'll leave it going for a while. Going to need a 2nd monitor just for idle games in the next 6 months lol

Yeah, finished it this morning and while I don't completely retract my previous comment, the last 30 minutes or so of the movie get pretty bad. Once the kids are fully a part of every scene and the whole giant dome head dino comes into play. Maybe they just needed to trim like 20-30 minutes off...

Wasn't there a thread about this that someone made? Duck Knight or whatever? Oh this is idle and not roguelite... Who made that other game?

Checked it out tonight while working and I mean, it isn't the worst? Felt like it was better than the last one or two. Definitely wasn't bashful about getting the actors / supporting actors eaten. My expectations were like SciFi channel low so maybe that explains the lack of total and utter...

The new Dead Space game was just called Dead Space but it came out in 2023 and not 2008. There was some initial blowback over changes made to characters and graffiti if I remember correctly, but I think it was okay outside of that? Steam has it as Very Positive which is unexpected given what I...

Hopefully that “..and Season 3” doesn’t mean something stupid like “Here’s 6 episodes now we’re going to hold back the last 6 for 3 months and call that Season 3.” This is something I’d love to go back and do Season 1 again since our oldest is 8 and may be a little easier on him than when he was...

I was just being over the top to give him a hard time 😀

You can also look at a 6” random orbit. That’s about 40% larger area but you’ll pay marginally more for sanding discs. Or! Or! Hear me out since you make table tops… https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-12-1-1-2-hp-baby-drum-sander/g0459 Mostly kidding

Are you looking to improve quality of sanding product or quality of sanding experience? Everyone’s pretty much said sanding is miserable. I went from a cheap Black and Decker plug-in that was probably 15 years old to a 3M Xtract and saw an improvement in both, but it wasn’t magically not a pain...

The first season was kind of a quirky well done YA’ish thing. It wasn’t offensively bad or anything but a step above CW, obviously higher production values, etc. Haven’t had time forgive the second season a chance yet. Wife kind of wants to rewatch Season 1 as a refresh. I have a weird thing for...

This is one of the most Brahma things I've seen posted. You've out Brahma'd yourself this time!

We got through the first half of Monte Cristo tonight. It is funny that I have three different editions of that book and never saw the Caviezel film. Certainly a whole lot to condense into even a 2 hour movie. Guy Pearce is great.

Ripley had a nice setup as final girl from Alien so there was no issue going into Aliens and understanding she had seen some absolute shit and Paul Reiser can shut up. And the other marines were badasses where they weren't trying to have Ripley one up everyone. It was just smarter than...

Hah it was, just top of my mind since we rewatched it last weekend after the other thread reminded me about it. Hadn’t seen it since release.

Gonna laugh when Gosling just plays the same character from Drive except this time it is an X-Wing and he still spends 75% of the movie standing around silent and grinning like a creeper.

Can't ever help but think of Neil Finn with this one when it comes to Attack of the 50 Foot Woman

Is this the one with some graphic sex scene between Brie and Franco? Thought I heard some hubub about that.
