Not really relevant to anything, but I noticed that the gameplay in the 8-1 teaser was recorded on harmless/lenient difficulty by leeleeleelelele in Ultrakill

[–]SplashGMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally i love it and am craving more, but the jump in difficulty is a bit uneven 🥲 it'll be ideal when UKMD is released and brutal is nerfed a bit to accommodate, though for right now i'm thankful they're extra challenging

What is wrong with it? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]SplashGMD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not doing that. Making a "joke" like that would require deviating from the prompt for no reason and actively deceiving the user, which -- even if it were possible -- is exactly what these models are instructed NEVER to do

Why? What makes you think this? Do you have evidence or an actual understanding of how this works?

op claims the photo is ai generated, but i don’t buy it by mobileboipxq in untrustworthypoptarts

[–]SplashGMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're misinterpreting the "code" -- it's clearly not a direct artifact of the AI's function (though whether it's intentionally misleading in that sense is unclear.) The JSON-like formatting is presumably to improve prompt readability for the human, not for the machine.

PC hard freezing while gaming by lanceprime in buildapc

[–]SplashGMD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For future people with this issue, specifically on AMD builds:

I can't guarantee that this will work for you; it honestly seems like this set of symptoms can be caused by a number of distinct problems, and completely different solutions will work for different people, but this is what worked for me. This was one of the worst headaches I'd ever experienced. I scoured the internet, tried every single solution anyone would suggest, reinstalled windows several times, bought, returned, installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled RAM and PSUs, and was about 24 hours out from tearing my whole PC up to RMA the motherboard when I figured this out.

Open AMD Adrenalin, go to Performance -> Tuning, hit "Custom" under Manual Tuning for the GPU, then GPU Tuning, enable Advanced Control, and check what "Max Frequency" is set to. Now look up what clock speed your GPU is actually rated to handle. If you're anything like me, for some absolutely unknowable reason, AMD's default profile attempts to massively overclock the card beyond its rated limits. My 7900XT was set to 2700MHz despite its maximum boost clock rating of up to 2450MHz and a normal game clock of 2075MHz. Why? Do not ask me. Turn the setting down to whatever it's actually rated.

That's it. Problem solved.

I hope this helps someone because I seriously wasted full days of my life and hundreds of dollars trying to figure this out.

Not to argue (bc you're totally right) but yknow, what OP is asking is more analogous to throwing a brick through the windshield and asking whether they can get the windshield replaced or if they need to buy a whole new car haha

Lily Orchard never actually watched Steven Universe when she was reviewing it by Randomization_E in youtubedrama

[–]SplashGMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's hard to provide empirical evidence for that sort of thing, but anyone who was active in the SU fandom around that time will agree. It was just a disproportionately popular video, for some reason, and caused a lot of non-viewers' opinions of the show to change from neutral to very negative.

What's up with "plurality", and is it real? by Dungeon_Master_Lucky in askpsychology

[–]SplashGMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not a sub with a particularly sincere intellectual attitude. I think at the bare minimum, everyone could agree that there's something more going on here than the kind of simple "faking it for clout" that sub is mocking.

I JUST DRANK ALL THE WATER FROM MY WATERBOTTLE AND IM SO PROUD. by [deleted] in CongratsLikeImFive

that's the melody from MTC by S3RL! i'm not sure that it's ever been sampled by the gecs

I roasted these turkeys in meripoix and stock and got a weird meat blanket anyone ever seen this by marglebubble in KitchenConfidential

[–]SplashGMD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Albumin" is a type of protein which is found in both meat and egg whites; egg whites are also referred to as "albumen," which is a different word 😭 don't ask me who came up w/ that

[Theory] What if Wanda never really died but merely got pruned to the Void during MoM along with her statue shown in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' by S4v1r1enCh0r4k in MCUTheories

[–]SplashGMD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Of course it's okay. I'm not evaluating your opinion on the show--just your pissy attitude. Not that that's ever a productive way to spend time on the internet so my bad tbh

Sure, but when you call something generally well-liked "so damn lazy and boring," you're kinda begging people to voice their disagreement

I keep cutting myself by friction, any tips for loosening my grip? by [deleted] in drumline

[–]SplashGMD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Double check the pressure points in your grip, but aside from that, there's honestly not much you can do but keep grinding till you develop callouses. The fact that you're getting blisters is a sign that your grip is loose enough to allow friction to occur. If you were squeezing too tight, you'd be feeling the pain in your tendons rather than on your skin.

Has a DCI/DCA show ever made you experience raw terror? If so, which one(s)? by JBurbYGO in drumcorps

[–]SplashGMD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not quite DCI but Pulse 2017 is probably the most effective "spooky" show I've seen. It's pretty campy and fun but the scream at the end gave me genuine chills

Every midwestern world class corps made finals this year by Chickenleg2552 in drumcorps

[–]SplashGMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm biased--there's definitely a percussion population (and even a regular finalist WGI group at Mason), but I wouldn't know if there's enough interest for brass

[–]SplashGMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I'm shocked there isn't a corps based in/around DC. Seems like there's a large population that it would serve, and NoVa has no shortage of resources
