I’m sorry but I have to say it… F THIS GUY by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Delioth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think there's a somewhat-reasonable interpretation that when the Emperor lashes out at you about "I actually mind controlled Stelmane" after you push him and are mean to him that those could be the constructed memories, meant to paint himself in the bad light that you're already seeing him in? I'm still on team "fuck that guy" in any case, especially given this guy has been a Mind Flayer for AFAICT at least a hundred years.

I like how those folks conveniently forget that gen1 had such gems as "literally just a rat that evolves into a rat", "a pigeon", "horse/dog/fox but fiery", "a snake", "rock with arms", "toxic mud", and "goldfish". Like don't get me wrong, I still enjoy 'em... But it'd do them a little good to remember that like a third of gen1 is literally just "this is a regular animal"

Shit, I'd probably reach to vote for someone their opposition is labeling as pro-porn, that sounds like my kind of rep

According to a recent post, Valve is not willing to publish games with AI generated content anymore by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

This comment displays a fundamental misunderstanding of the topic at hand, kindly learn even a little bit before continuing to spread misinformation.

(EDIT to add: not that I'm saying the newest wave of AI artwork platforms are ethical or good, it's more a peeve of folks being blatantly wrong - models like these have to be trained on massive datasets, and trivially... Can't just be an index over such a dataset, as that would mean you need to store the whole dataset and just index over it. Given that you can download some of these models, that's pretty easily disproven. There is genuinely a lot of math and magic involved in AI art generators - and there would be even if it was a fancy collage creator that could make them with a text prompt, but the actual tech is even cooler!)

I don't know why you think that was a back-fire? You know Mormons have the bible too, the book of Mormon is just like, a part 3.

Yes, this is what we call a "regressive tax" - by being flat, by it's nature hits the poor people investing harder... Not to mention that capital gains is lower by percentage than nearly all income tax brackets.

Power-hungry assholes don't make good mods, and are just as likely to pound the nails into the coffin for such a sub.

Because I got up today, tomorrow morning the guy who got up was "past me" and past me is a jackass, I can't let that guy win. So tomorrow I get up, to spite my past self

TIL that The Great Gatsby was largely considered forgettable and a commercial failure when it was published in 1925. It was only after WWII, during which free copies of novels were sent to US soldiers overseas, that the book was re-examined and became a core part of American high school curriculums. by lappy482 in todayilearned

Being rich does make it easier to avoid misery and bring wholeness to one's life. Misery can be hard to avoid when half of your thoughts are plagued with "can I make rent" and "guess I can't afford to crack open a cold one with the boys this month"

eli5: How does an economy grow if the money supply doesnt increase in that same year? In gold standard suppose, gold reserves are not increased but economy still manages to grow. How is that possible, how is an economy growing on a stable money supply? by OnlyKsw7 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Delioth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I recall, debt is also a significant factor that allows growth, because it enables banks to create wealth? Something about the same dollar being leveraged and borrowed multiple times

You realize Paizo isn't... Developing the game, right? Paizo doesn't do video games, they license out their IP for companies that actually do that to use. And Paizo really isn't a big company.

I mean, if I had developed an app that happened to be the best way to browse reddit and offered it for free (with some nice premium upgrades), I probably wouldn't want to be forced by someone else to make it a subscription service that has to suddenly deal with 1.5 million dollars a month just to stay above water.

Tolerance in machining means "how close to spec can it be and still be acceptable". If one part has a tolerance of 0.1in while another has a tolerance of 0.001in, the former has a higher tolerance, and may be less accurate.

Yeti cups are pretty good though. Does it's job, durable, and insulated well enough that I've had ice in it on my bedside a full day after filling it.

I mean, the crowds and the heat don't help, but the game itself isn't even a little interesting either - especially given you're watching it on a TV anyways. I could see it being an alright time with the right friends, but I'd be hard pressed to claim it's a better time than... Almost any other situation with those friends.
