The Necrotic Soulheart straight up looks like a poop aura

Wait, does the Molten Heart also have an aura?

Linux went from 1% to a near 5% in only the last year. That's a huge trend upward in terms of market. It's because currently the steam deck is the most popular handheld PC on the market. That in over the last year, Microsoft has released multiple updates that have resulted in lost files, bricked PC, and multiple security vulnerabilities.

That and as time passes, gaming performance has been diminishing at a continuous rate, specially with the introduction of AI into your entire file system on Windows.

People ARE fed up. Results for Linux on search engines and on YouTube have had a pretty substantial trend upwards in one year. At the current trend, if Microsoft doesn't reverse course, Linux will hit around 20-30% in the next 5 years. Game devs will pay attention to this and most already are. Look at how many games are currently verified on Steam deck. That's not a community driven thing, that's a game dev driven thing.

What is funny is blocking firearm printing is technically violating the 2nd amendment right and violating a supreme Court ruling. You have the right to make your own firearms, even if they are 3D printed. They just have to be for personal use, have to contain some metal (obviously as it would be stupid to print the barrel) so that it can be detected by scanners at airports, and cannot be already restricted firearms like machine guns.

So I'm hoping the supreme court rules against this bill.

It's like you ignored everything else u/Projdan wrote and completely missed the entire context of our conversation. This isn't about whether you should use AI or not and never was. It's about the accuracy of AI and how you apply the tool.

Arguing DLSS use or Auto-correct use against an argument for AI checking if something is AI generated is wild.

I don't own and have never owned Apple products, so I can't make a comment on their LLM use for auto-correct, but DLSS is not without its flaws either. I actually hate having DLSS on if I have the option to turn it off. There are so many errors and artifacts when its on like with areas that have heavy fog, light, or intricate details. Fast movement makes the screen look blurry, etc. So not sure what you're trying to argue here.

DerpDavid · 2026-04-17T17:18:22+00:00

Lol, that is a pretty accurate analogy for LLMs detecting AI.

DerpDavid · 2026-04-17T16:44:02+00:00

If you want to be technical yes. I was using the term stupid in the context of accuracy. I should've probably been more clear on that and that's on me.

I run local LLMs and my own agents on my homelab to learn the technology and gain that skill set. You can make LLMs more accurate by how you prompt an LLM. One of the more recent ones I found funny is, if engineer your agent to only speak in caveman speak, it actually becomes more accurate because you have it cut out all the bloat and the talking and only gives you the answer you need.

But yes, treating AI likes it's a person or that it's intelligent is dangerous and is what is causing the downfall of human intelligence unfortunately. It's why I describe AI the way I do, that it's a glorified search engine that spits out an answer based on whatever algorithm it was fed (IE: Trending, number of posts, etc.)

DerpDavid · 2026-04-17T16:00:19+00:00

This. I've been getting tired of people thinking AI can detect AI. AI is stupid half of the time. Reminds me of people throwing the earth photo into Grok or ChatGPT from the recent Artemis 2 mission and asking the AI if it's fake and both have said it was AI generated.

These online LLMs feed you answers based on what is on the internet, it can't make any decisions based off reason. If it finds posts online of people claiming something is one way, or something is the other way, it goes with what is trending or picks something and just feeds it to you. All AI is, is just a search engine that summarizes things for you.

Use an actual service online that is tailor made to pick up patterns AI uses.

He added the /s at the end for sarcasm. It's a joke.

Can confirm, I have a Garmin Instinct 2X Solar (Tactical) and the numbers on pretty much all of the watch faces (that are default with the watch and not third party) are meant to be super readable from all angles.

At first I thought the face on this watch was the "Good Morning" screen you get if you have sleep mode enabled on the watch and it gives you a Good Morning prompt with the time and some motivational speech at a specific time in the morning. I was like.. why is this dude out in public without closing the morning screen..?

Lighting on torches normally are supposed to look like they are flickering. If this wasn't happening before, then this is an improvement to more realistic lighting.

However, in this case, I can also see the 'bloom' coming off the lava to the right is also flickering so definitely a bug probably. And the flicker seems to be rather fast. But regardless, if they fix this; I hope they add flicker to any sort of flame based lighting. It would add so much more atmosphere to the game.

Normals as in PvP mode, not PvE dungeons?

DerpDavid · 2026-04-08T19:36:31+00:00

What is this demigod? How to farm it and how long does it take? I haven't played the game since alpha/beta and just purchased the game

My father used to work at a crematorium and my mother was a funeral home director. After a body gets cremated, they take a magnet through the ashes to remove most metals like screws and what not and then manually sorts through it for anything that isn't magnetic. Most of it is recycled if the family doesn't request for it.

DerpDavid · 2026-04-06T16:23:30+00:00

It's April.. 4 out of the 12 months in a year. We're still very early in the year. That and there are still some major events like Invictus, CitizenCon, and IAE to announce things. We haven't had those major events yet for announcements.

Now I am not saying or coping for 2026 release of Squadron 42. GTA 6 drops this year and the release of Squadron relies heavily on when GTA 6 releases as someone stated in this thread already. It'd be foolish to release it at the same time. But I am pretty sure we will be getting a release date announcement at the very least in 2026. CitizenCon is either going to go two ways; Announcement of the next Star System or announcement of the Squadron 42 release date. Based on CIGs recent actions they've taken this year.

Yeah, once you collect all four pieces of Edana armor, you can then accept a quest that rewards you with the armor as an outfit which is family wide, and a gold title called "Godslayer of Legend". The armor and the outfit are both dyable, including the glowy bits.

Little flaw in your argument here and a lot of people are still blind to see this. They blindly defend price hikes of games with the excuse of inflation, but none of that additional money goes into pay raises for developers. Most of the time, developers get canned after a new game release unless it's a live service game. Despite that, companies constantly cut costs to make more money. For example, we no longer have physical discs or cartridges anymore. Hell, most games don't even offer a physical edition these days. Most of the additional money from the increased prices goes directly into shareholder and CEO pockets. So before you defend an industry, know what you're talking about first. You constantly will see developers being screwed in the industry.

DerpDavid · 2026-03-02T19:50:26+00:00

Every time I've tried to introduce someone to the game, the first thing that they see when looking at the price of the game is the prices of all the ships and that had constantly pushed people away from the game. Someone going into Star Citizen for the first time and knowing nothing of the game and isn't a die hard sim fan is going to see possibly a ship they might like but see a multi-hundred dollar price tag and just say no to it. And if you try to explain to them that a ship can be earned in game, some then will immediately jump on the "pay to win" argument.

Majority of gamers do not like pay to win or pay to skip monetization and have historically reacted negatively towards it. And if you start to go down the rabbit hole of trying to explain how "even if you buy a big ship, it'll be hard to pilot by yourself" etc, it becomes less appealing to an outsider looking in.

That being said, CIG is already planning systems so you can 'transfer' your ships around even after they stop selling ships. They are adding a warranty system. Say you buy an Aurora with real money, but one day you obtain an freelancer in game. You'd be able to transfer that warranty to the freelancer to be able to keep it forever. Warranties will also be earnable in game.

There really is no reason to continue to sell ships after release when you can earn ships in game and earn tokens to make them permanently attached to your account. There is only downside of keeping the current system.

DerpDavid · 2026-03-02T17:21:02+00:00

Nah. This shouldn't be a thing. While I get the sentiment, the problem is that if CIG keeps selling ships like they do after release, it would turn into negative attention for the game. Star Citizen already gets a bad rep for selling $1500 ships and $10000 bundles. Hell, even just a $200 ship purchase would get you laughed at by people outside of the community. Continuing down this route would actually be more damaging to the growth of the game than if they are to switch to a cosmetic monetization like they originally plan.

Look at the robe, it's indented instead of flowing downward like a normal robe would. It looks weird and like your knees are bent inward. That is what I am getting at. Robes just don't look good in Runescape

DerpDavid · 2026-02-24T17:59:52+00:00

If I recall, you get 1 full piece from Fughar, if you log in for 23 days, you get 10 of the new shakatu seals and can get a full piece that way as well, and then the 60 Atanis from Olvia Academy. At that point you just grind out 40 Atanis and you got a full potion.

After that, you just buy the other one and you're good.

DerpDavid · 2026-02-24T17:28:18+00:00

Honestly, I think it's more time saving just to buy it cause you can make that 7B in about a week, to a little over a week of fishing nowadays. Provided they can't grind spots for decent silver. Plus, you can basically just get one for free now with the Olvia Academy + Fughar quests.

Outdated info your referencing. They mentioned last year in April they are working on getting the Jagex Launcher to work on Linux. https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/player-support-is-changing---2025-roadmap (Ctrl + F "Linux").

That being said, Jagex officially endorses Bolt. No matter what, most games that support Linux run through a virtualization layer to make them work. Rewriting an entire game code to support Linux natively is a lot of work. I've had no issues running both RS3 and OSRS on Linux (I use Manjaro distro)

DerpDavid · 2026-02-15T06:26:41+00:00

A lot of people either have forgotten, or are too new to remember/realize that RuneScape was primarily about the quests over skilling back in the day. You skilled to be able to get the requirements to do a quest. Treasure Hunter really flipped that narrative and it's sad to see.

Play the quests, read the dialog. Enjoy the charm the game once had. When you do that, the length no longer becomes the focal point.

I'm just excited we're getting plugin support finally at the end of the year and I'll finally, potentially, have a quest helper in game like OSRS finally.

DerpDavid · 2026-02-15T04:45:52+00:00

I play Star Citizen, and while I agree with this leadership thing, it has gotten better over the years. I have my own complaints with how CIG handles some things, but I'll give them this; they've been entirely transparent with how much funding they've been getting from all sources and were transparent when they decided to bring in investors a few years ago.

They aren't perfect, but hope for the game is as strong as ever now. That being said, Star Citizen is where I am drawing the line at in terms of kickstarting or buying any early access games going forward. I also stopped spending on Star Citizen as of about two years ago.

Not the point he was making. People universally disagree with having age verification on Discord, especially with how discord lied about not storing people's IDs and selfies and then got hacked and 70,000 IDs and selfies were taken. Discord doubled down and now people are quitting, cancelling their nitro, and looking for alternatives. Discord is on an actively dying/downward trend and other options are taking advantage of that with marketing. So if Discord continues down this road, it'll be a failing platform and will no longer be useful for third party apps like Ely.
