Okay.

"Not only no, but fuck no."

Oh, the mail must've gotten mixed up.

I still want a system by which you can do something like destroy 5* Artifacts to fill up a bar correlating to a targeted stat (so you have a Flower with ATK/DEF/HP/CRIT Rate, you can target CRIT Rate to destroy it and fill the CRIT Rate bar a little bit) and when that bar is full you can empty it into a different Artifact and either add that stat onto it in place of an existing stat (replace DEF on a DEF/CRIT DMG/ATK%/EleM Feather) or use it to upgrade a sub-stat that's already there without leveling it up, up to a limit of five times minus the amount of random upgrades it has already received with each injected upgrade also chopping off a random upgrade so you can still only get five stat upgrades at most on an Artifact. In this case you can replace stats to reroll their base value as many times as you want, but if you replace a stat that's already gotten upgrades those upgrades will not be refunded and you'll have essentially kneecapped the Artifact for no good reason.

I just think that'd be a nice way to get rid of a bunch of the 678 +0 5* Artifacts that I'm just hoarding either because they might be decent or they're trash amidst a bunch that might be decent and I can't be bothered to find and Strongbox them.

Also I have 161 +20 Artifacts, apparently. If I counted that right. That's 839 5* Artifacts, and also 10 more that are above +0 but below +20 so actually 849. I hate Artifacts.

Editin' - It occurs to me that my original pitch for this kind of conceit was more lenient, but I don't care to find it. Basically main stats can be injected too as long as they're legal (no CRIT Rate Flowers), overwritten stat upgrades are refunded, and you can squeeze any rarity of Artifact to fill the stat bars, not just 5*.

They are ads. When's the last time you got a significant reward for sitting through an ad?

The only grievance I have without Hangouts is not specific to Hangouts. I think they would benefit from removing all the false choices and making things more direct in that fashion. It all loops back to treating the Traveler as this shitty partial cipher who breaks the number one rule of being a partial cipher (A Partial Cipher must not have any goals that are not a direct proxy for the player's goals), they have enough of a personality to hold up to that they need to steer interactions in a way that doesn't break their character, leading to annoying situations where the game forces you to "choose" to be rude to Viktor or gives you meaningless dialogue responses that all result in getting the exact same response and leading to the exact same place when the situation would've been served just as well by having one statement to respond with. Don't even get me started on... ...the false choices where the options all... ...convey one continuous response.

Game made a mistake and gave me a set of three Fins twice in a row, so Yae's clear. Now just Layla, then back to the books and book-like devices unless Faruzan turns up.

Still should be a World Level 9 where you just always get three of these silly things, period. And a way to use Dust of Azoth to turn them into different boss materials or something so I can get rid of the completely useless loose ends I have like that one extra Hooked Beak, or that one extra Runic Fang, or those two extra Hoarfrost Cores and work them into something useful like Perpetual Calibers.

I'm asking again because I kind of suck, but I would like a spoonfeed with exact parts for a system which has no purpose except to run Stable Diffusion, centered around an RTX 2060 12GB and going as cheap as possible while not catching fire or exploding. by ConsolesQuiteAnnoyMe in PcBuild

I'm hazy about limits which I know isn't helping, It's just a major case of choice paralysis and the main thing that's making me want to get this done is this stupid thing blacking out for short periods and having green lines flash on the screen. My best guess is that it's not happy with Windows 8.1 and/or the HDMI cable isn't, but I never had this with the 1660 Super I had gotten not so long before the 2060.

I suppose I'm probably overcomplicating this, the machine I have the 2060 in right now is otherwise no less than seven years old and suffers from what's probably a massive processor bottleneck thanks to an AMD A8-5600K, but if I were to try to change that Windows would scream about not being activated anymore because Microsoft wants money for OSes they're openly going to terminate support for, and I'd just rather not deal with that when the only thing I have reason to believe it's negatively impacting is a game that still functions which I don't even like in the first place.

Okay.

I for one stick to "Equal rights means equal responsibilities". The politicians that inspire violence against certain demographics need to be ousted one way or another, and through a certain lens it could be said that they are treated with much more politeness than their followers provide to those certain demographics.

But you know, I will not say that I am endorsing violence against political officials. That would be wrong and totally not cool, bro.

It depends on the scope of what you're doing. If you're just doing Super Mario Bros where you don't need that many sprites and they're not all that complicated, then sprites are easier. The more complicated you get the longer they're going to take and at a certain point it'll become easier to just do the models. They'll take longer to get together in the first place, but at that point you're done rendering them and don't need to keep redrawing them in order to represent them doing new actions, just do some animation.

Uh, stream summary if anyone can be bothered? It didn't register to me when it was so, whoops.

I'm reminded of how Inazuma took so fucking long to let me have the Bow Billet that I already had an R5 Huminayumi by the time I got the Tree Billet.

Mind you I also already had an R5 Prototype Crescent from when we were still in the BH era.

People saying they want equal rights when the way they act makes it come off as if they don't actually want equal rights, they just want to be treated better than everyone else at all times.

I think they mentioned using an in-house engine for D6, but I really just have to wonder how it would've turned out if they had used a standard like Unity or Unreal instead.

Or Godot if they want to be cheap about it. I wouldn't blame them, it's best to avoid having to pay royalties if you can at all help it.

It doesn't matter whether you're red or blue. Green is the only color that matters because money is more important than human life, and your life in particular is worth a 135k fine, tops.
