    Dungeon Crawler Carl

    my guess is donut dies; carl merges w/ the ai, some primal compatible host for more control, carl reverts the planet while keeping the ai's power to protect earth.

    i'm in book 11 right now too. i tone out when it's a stat dump. i assume the book just has an old D&D style stats page that you would quickly skip over. it's a much more chill series than DCC and I can enjoy w/o having to pay super attention to.

    Shemaria is one of my fav characters. getting through the card battles was difficult, but hearing Uzi Jesus say "Jesus Christ!" at the first time that spider was summoned was amazing

    i think you'd be surprised. there's a few vocal traders, who have the knowledge to do that many transactions and share that knowledge, an important overlap. while the rest of us rarely sell anything, most our stuff is probably in a 401k.

    The problem is the market in Austin is crazy in favor of the buyer right now, so I really need to move out and do a facelift on the place. Selling while I'm working from home and it needing work will really stretch how long it's on the market

    the depth of what's going on, not just on planet, how it's all tied together and the multiple groups, legends, and mysteries, I can't keep it all straight in my head. bravo sir, you've built a very immerse world and I can't wait for the next book

    I never played sub zero, but I played the first one a ton. It was a fun game to solo and zone out. I don't know the story behind dei fucking up sub zero, but how can this be bad? Just give me a new zone and shuffle the recipes with some jump scares and creepy sea monsters

    i'm about to start book 9, hawkie is still hawkie. not always 'in the group'. not his last 'creation', so you get additional 'young' personalities. hearing hawkies perspective rubs me a bit, but he's not always part of what's going on.

    99% yes, it's branding shenanigans. but a copilot pc is by definition a system w/ a npu for running ai on the device.

    not all AI is in teh cloud. there's also on prem. even down to "microsoft copilot pcs". Dell and HP sell AI servers that companies use to run local AI.

    it's just fucking wrong . there's plenty of company's that are buying AI hardware to run local AI. AWS made Amazon $150b last year.

    I have a small island in my kitchen that's linoleum that I've considered changing to butcherblock. Seems like an easy weekend project. My fear is the current top is glued down, so removing might damage the cabinet base.

    I'm certainly not defending the movie, but I didn't see him as weak. Maybe not "drag planets by a chain" strong, but he was still very super. They was just other heroes close to his level. I don't see a solo hero movie ever working again. The other heroes just can't be super bitch who's...

    I totally dig the "kill and get stronger" vibe. easy to zone out and not a big deal if you don't pay attention a bit. it does get long w/ the numbers, I'm sure reading it would be easy to skip a stats page. I'm on book 8 and plan to finish the series.

    self fulfilling prophecy people think the market will drop, so they pull $$ out of the market. but high gas prices will pull down just about any physical product directly, and slow everyone's spending on everything else.
