I've mentioned this before, but I have over 2000 hours played at this point -- and still discovering new things. Have completed the game over a dozen times. Doing a Shadowheart origin playthrough right now -- first time doing an origin run besides the Durge. Also, the Chocolate mod is pretty...

From the looks of the combat, I would think perfect controls are paramount. Sounds like it would make the combat instantly unfun. So what's left? Running around gawking at the scenery and finding secrets under rocks? We already know the story sucks.

I put a few days into Black Desert. Combat hits hard and feels visceral/fun at first, but it's super spammy with way too many abilities. Nothing stood out... every move felt equally interchangeable, so I never got that sense of mastering the system or a truly cohesive flow. Sort of sounds like...

I bought a Switch for TotK and found that one to be boring and not particularly fun.

Wait, BotW is fun?

It's a Korean studio, right? Hard pass.

Yes, they were pretty cute. Always had a thing for Alyson Hannigan. Did they make her a lesbo or something in the show? Also, for anyone interested, there's a pornstar that looks a lot like Jewel Staite: (Charlotte Mae)

Yeah, I don't know...I mean, it wasn't terrible. But the tone of the show felt very different after season 5. Obviously, this was due to the show-runner leaving. But, for me, it was never quite the same.

While we're at it, an awesome damn show was Supernatural - for the first five seasons. Then they ran it into the ground.

I imagine you could simply run Windows in a VM on a Linux host system when you need access to this stuff.

If this is an actual show and not just some stupid podcast, and Alan Tudyk is involved, then it obviously has to be set before the events of Serenity. Given the huge age difference between now and then, I'm betting this will be an animated series.

Do what I did: hit the reset button.

I mean, you can re-roll, unless you blew all your inspirations.

I've ditched Windows on all my PCs save the gaming rig which is effectively a Steam-box. And that's still on Windows 10 at the moment. My work laptop, which is no slouch spec-wise, is running Windows 11 of course. But my god it runs like complete shit. Huge delays when bringing up the Start...

What kind of equipment is this? Also, at this point, if you're somewhat technically skilled, AI (ChatGPT, whatever) can be incredibly useful in resolving any Linux install issues. No longer will you need to Google around trying to find some random website that has some random post from some...

Uh, does she even have any?

Yeah, the final 10 minutes were an absolute rollercoaster. I thought the series was about to wrap up right there. Hope we don’t have to wait another 10 years for Season 3!

Group? No, get Sabnzbd and Sonarr. Then just pick the show and poof. Obviously there's a bit of setup, but just ask ChatGPT or Grok and I'm sure they can step you through it

By the way, I see a lot of YouTube shorts with Shadowheart wearing super hot outfits (yes, I like playing dress-up). Where are these from? Not seeing much on the official Larian Mod Manager.

Our project managers don't know shit about anything. And they are forced to write user stories which is a complete joke.

Probably blew a good bit of their budget on the first episode. I enjoyed it.

I've restarted my Retro 8-Bit fantasy Super System project with a new focus: creating a fully AI-driven platform that lets anyone make 8-bit games just by describing them in plain language. Instead of hand-writing assembly code and crafting assets manually (though you can still do that if you...

I've never seen The Quick and the Dead. And Crimewave looks hilarious to me.

Ah, a fellow INTJ. Welcome!

Yeah, I have Claude building out a game for my emulator in Z80 assembly language. And things work 90% of the time right out of the box. Now, granted, like I mentioned I'm not "vibe" coding it. I'm giving it very strict rules and orderly phases. This is the way.

They got us access to GitHub Copilot on the corporate tenant. All our devs use that (if at all).

I've been using Claude Code and Codex CLI and I actually prefer them over the IDE integrations.

Fellow employees at my org barely use it besides for simple questions. Technically we're limited to Microsoft Copilot but organization-scoped. I don't use it but I'm guessing this is a gimped model? Most complain that it's not great and lump all AI with that assessment.

We recently had to add a new feature to our ancient WebForms app. Nothing too crazy, but if you've ever worked with WebForms, you know how easily you can spiral into postback hell. Anyway, I used Codex to build it. I fed it the requirements, pointed it at the stubbed files, and presto it just...

While working on the Showcase ROM, I ran into several bugs in the emulator (as expected) and had to step back to fix a few things. I've decided to put the Showcase ROM on hold for now. The system has no BIOS, so there's no built-in foundation to help with game development -- no character set...

Yeah, don't get me started on the Agile SAFe bullshit...

My company has a 200B market cap, but they aren't software focused. Our division is a teeny tiny slice, so they wouldn't even know or understand what to standardize or enforce. Oh well, good luck.

Heh. Yeah, my organization is OBLIVIOUS to all of that. I'm the only dev actually using this stuff.

Why do they even care which IDE you use? Everyone in engineering at my company uses Visual Studio or VS Code. I’m the weird snowflake who chooses JetBrains stuff but there’s no way they’d know.

I just started God's Junk Drawer by Peter Clines on Audible. I absolutely loved 14, and this one is narrated by Ray Porter too who is amazing. Honestly, some of these narrators are incredibly talented.

I recognize that this isn't anything mind blowing, but I've been enjoying it. Extra star for no DEI nonsense.

You know, what I miss is the looking forward to the new Fall series. That's pretty much gone now. Streaming has pretty much destroyed that, along with the fun "water-cooler" type shows.

You can understand your problems better and more quickly with the use of AI. Do you prefer spending hours Googling around?

Maybe try CachyOS? Worked fine out of the box for me EXCEPT for random display freezes due to high refresh rates. Knocked it down to 60Hz everything is fine now.
