Yeah, if I had to do it over again, that is exactly what I’d have done differently.

This is the way.

I expect something more bittersweet - like Carl survives but Donut reverts back to a normal cat (perhaps willfully to avoid guilt over atrocities she committed).

Southern Company shareholders certainly ate most of it, but that has been reflected in their share price for a long time. MS ratepayers ate a lot, followed by the US taxpayer care of DOE grants for coal gasification tech. The most ironic part of this failure is that, even if the technology had...

Are we talking about the average business consumer running local models? On what GPUs? A bunch of distributed, private, and likely underutilized LLMs seems less efficient than the data center model. This applies to individual consumers as well. Inference costs are coming down for each new...

I think you are saying you suspect you will be shocked…

Begone, ye 32gb pleb!

It does not help that work ethic amongst younger employees is generally pathetic. Like how can you work on the same boring project for 3 straight months? Especially with AI to help you plow through tough debugging problems, I do not have much sympathy for people who can’t demonstrate productivity.

Something is off on your scale or maybe you are taking about context sizes? I burn through a million tokens ($3 of Claude sonnet) in around 1-2 hours, and I am fairly diligent about clearing my context between prompts. If Claude says it is compacting, that means you hit the 50k context limit...

Private Equity typically expects a minimum 15% return and 20-22.5% is not unheard of before the risk profile gets into venture capital range. Of all the warning signs OpenAI is flashing, this does not seem like “OMG imminent collapse”.

Farm… ers… Market accident?

It is more of an HR ploy to avoid obligations to pay out accrued PTO. They tend to exploit employees with strong work ethics who feel guilty about taking time off. The company is happy if you only take 1-2 weeks off. It doesn’t cost them anything. Contrast this with a fixed PTO policy, where...

I would not accept Unlimited PTO and try to negotiate a fixed number of weeks if possible.

Published by MicroProse. Now that is a name I haven’t heard in a long time…

38 studios got Rhode Island funding to locate in Providence. At least they released a semi-decent single player rpg.

I never gave farming a second thought. I kinda enjoyed that some of the “junk” loot was useful though. I had items that broke down into adhesive favorited so they were marked when I was rifling through file cabinets and stuff.

Anti-vaxxers are bad people, in case that wasn’t clear. I keep waiting for the episode where someone has an adverse reaction or heart inflammation.

I am forever tainted by Dungeon Crawler Carl. I can’t read a post like this without first hearing “New achievement!” in Jeff Hayes’ voice.

If anything, we are moving more toward giant mono repos.

Ghosts of Tsushima had the most powerful ending of any game I ever played, it hit me harder than the end of Red Dead Redemption, which is saying a lot .

Jesus, when am I going to be old enough that I stop finding stuff like this funny?

Can we get some spoiler tags in here? Show isn’t even out yet and all the plots are now ruined!

You guys called it lol

Welcome to the Squeenix party! Like their turned-based RPGs? Fuck you!

The writing for the show is horrendous. The major plot points from the book carry the show, but every - single - minor character interaction was hard to watch - particularly the filler scenes with Mechanical in season 2. Tim Robbins deserves an Oscar for pretending he was attracted to the judge...

Brilliant analogy. Bravo!

That spoilered scene was really well done and I still think about it often. I also liked the Growler Gary plotline for some reason. That probably means I am a psychopath, but it was just my type of humor.

I loved season 1. It was even better on the second watch when the convoluted plot was easier to follow. After eagerly anticipating season 2, I was ready to bail by the time it was done. Cavill announcing he was out and this thread led me to not watch any of season 3. My wife, who is not attuned...

Ours did, yeah, along with 80% of the alliance leadership. Ironically the top whale, the diva, from the other top alliance remained - which just made it worse. I lost all motivation to continue playing. Those that remained talked about merging with other alliances. I wish them luck. Hopefully...

Well I am out, too, now. The server transfer event was a total kick in the nuts.

I am still playing, but certainly our server is dying. There are only two active alliances now. Sure there are others in the “top 10” but they maybe have 10 active players and mostly dead accounts in their roster. They join us for the kvk events. Tuco accurately described our own whales. The...

Show is faithful to the books including being too short. Skarsgard is not as snarky as Free but he really nails the social awkwardness. The way they weave in the Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon is great!

That is good to hear. You are a few weeks ahead of me, but I am in a similar situation. I was top 20 power in the #4 alliance, but we just recently merged into the top alliance (displacing a lot of riffraff). Now I am #65. Our State just opened up the Fertile Lands today to give you a sense of...

Are you still playing this over a month later or did the P2W finally get you? The All Out events that encourage whales to grind on everyone else really kills the community. After each one is a huge reshuffle as alliances die and merge.

I am excited for priority mergers and hypertube junctions. They also added belt throughout counters similar to Dyson Sphere Program.

Stay on topic, please.

This was an amazing game that I would never have considered playing if I hadn’t read this thread. Thanks, forum bros. That ending… I haven’t been hit that hard since RDR1. I enjoyed the DLC. Seemed like a solid backstory and they took some of the main island mechanics to a higher level.

That guy sounds like he knows exactly what gay terminology he should use.

Lol wow! That escalated quickly.

Could you link to that post?
